Oh, now that you clarified post #1 ... looks like you've found something that works. Would you care to share a chart or explain some logic behind the trades? That could be a starting point.

Guys, guys, someone throws in the word "random" and you're so upset. Like I've desecrated a holy temple or something. It's just a word for f..k's sake? You could be using all that energy for handicrafting Christmas gifts or decorations? I know it's ...

Do you have favourite thoughts? ..you're not a frequent poster are you? Been a member for almost 3 years and made 22 posts? Not a problem tho, it's quality not the quantity that counts anyway.

Cheesus Crisp. Johnny, I don't think the word 'gambling' would be a swear word. I'm wiping millionaires' asses during the day, I need a bit of excitement and that's what the market gives me - pissing away some money, yes, gambling if you like. Why ...

Do you feel guilty because of your profits?

No bro, I'm not saying entry can have an edge. I think entry itself, is just Mickey mouse. It's the exit that will give you a profit /or a loss. But in a way, your question reminds me the old rabbi joke. Two youngsters ask him if it's allowed to ...

Edge in an automated entry?

That's genius. All you have to do is open interest positive trades, say, AUDCAD long? Who cares if you're stopped out @BE if you're scoring on swaps? Every little helps eh?

Wouldn't it be good if during flat markets you only broke even on trades

Isn't your logic upside down? You'd pick an entry point because you've determined that statistically it would result in a profit /given your parameters, possie size, SL, TP, and such/ Yes your random entry can certainly have edge if you have friends ...

Edge in an automated entry?
