The concept

Trade long/short in very liquid US stocks.

Every day generate approx 0-10 trades.

Average holding period 10-15 days.

Risk per trade set at 4%.

Targeting a daily win ratio of 50% with a 2:1 reward/risk ratio.

Trades entered using days Volume weighted Average price (VWAP)

Trades closed also using VWAP

Aim

For each days trading to generate an average positive return of 0.06% to -0.08%.

Purpose

To demonstrate R/R is more important than win rate. Can make decent return even if wrong half the time.



Starting trade date 1 August


Comments welcome, thanks.
