Very good video Martyn. Everything you say makes a lot of sense, something that is not easy to find in other people's trading videos.

Although I also believe that SLs like behind the last pullback or important levels are more logical and better but in many times this approach results in a very huge stop losses and the RR ratio decreases consequently. therefore we need higher win rate for strategy which is not easy to achieve. I would be thankful if you share your insights about this matter.

Hi Martyn, sorry to post some question unrelated to video here thanks for share the concept for WFA on previous episode i have two questions as below: In previous video, you using ten years data for WFA analysis. 1) how many years should i use to develop a strategy? same as the period used by WFA, ten years? 2) if it's the case, is the WFA still a good method to check robustness of parameter values? (just like we knew the answer before the exam)

I believed he went through this in his Backtesting and Optimization Playlist so from memory i believe its based on the sample size i think he mentioned minimum 2500 trades but the higher sample size , the better the statistical significance. You should check out the playlist once more its gold

Or just don't put a fixed SL and use a technical (market) exit and reasonable lot sizing instead. A stop loss won't save you in a crash anyways.
