What is the Number One Mistake Forex Traders Make? | DailyFX

What is the Number One Mistake Forex Traders Make? | DailyFX: "Model Strategy:
For our models in this article, we simulated a “typical trader” using one of the most common and simple intraday range trading strategies there is, following RSI on a 15 minute chart.
Entry Rule: When the 14-period RSI crosses above 30, buy at market on the open of the next bar. When RSI crosses below 70, sell at market on the open of the next bar.
Exit Rule: Strategy will exit a trade and flip direction when the opposite signal is triggered.
When adding in the stops and limits, the strategy can close out a trade before a stop or limit is hit, if the RSI indicates that a position should be closed or flipped. When a Stop or Limit order is triggered, the position is closed and the system waits to open its next position according to the Entry Rule.
