Is the Market Always Going Against You?

Whether you're a swing trader, day trader, or a trading professional utilizing a range of trading strategies, we can all agree on one thing: the market doesn't always move in our favor. There are those frustrating moments when, no matter what you do, the market seems determined to go in the opposite direction of your trades. If you find your strategy to be in this consistent trend, the reverse trading strategy could be an interesting option to take. 

How Reverse Trading Works

It’s quite simple. Wherever you buy, the Trade Copier sells. And when you Sell, the Trade Copier buys. The same applies to your stop loss and take profit. Everything becomes reversed. With Duplikium, you can turn on this feature with just a toggle button. Simply go to your copy settings, click the risk factor, and switch the reverse toggle button to ON. This will automatically mirror all trades in the opposite direction whether you are directly placing your orders in your master account or copying from someone else. 

Unlike most MT4 trade copier apps and other Forex copy trading apps, Duplikium is a cloud-based trade copier, which means you can access it anytime anywhere. Copy traders can customize their settings at all times. If you want to turn OFF the reverse trading feature and just go back to your normal strategy, you’re just one toggle away from doing so.

Here are important reminders before using the Reverse Trading strategy: 

If you're incorporating the Reverse Trading strategy into your trading plan, keep these important reminders in mind to ensure success and manage risk effectively.

As a Reminder, There is No Fool-Proof Strategy

First thing first: there’s no so-called fool-proof strategy. Relying on a single tool or indicator is not a good thing. You need to determine your confluences, a set of rules before you buy or sell. You can mix several trading strategies and concepts as you see fit. And we might sound like a broken record for saying this, ALWAYS backtest your strategy. 

Always Backtest the Strategy

As a rule of thumb, always backtest the strategy. Use a demo account for risk-free trading to see how it performs before committing real funds. With Duplikium, you can backtest your strategy on various trading platforms, including cTrader, MetaTrader (MT4, MT5), FXCM, and more.

Check Your P&L and Frequency of Failed Strategies

Regularly monitor your Profit and Loss (P&L) and the frequency of failed strategies. This will help you gauge the effectiveness of the Reverse Trading strategy and identify any patterns or issues that need addressing.

Mix with Other Advanced Features for Protection

Combine the Reverse Trading strategy with other advanced features offered by Duplikium to enhance your trading approach. For example, explore account protection features to shield yourself from the impact of trading news and market volatility.

Consider Your Approach Depending on the Instrument

Adapt your strategy based on the instrument you’re trading. For instance, if your current Forex trading strategy has a 65% loss rate, it might still be effective for other instruments like indices. Tailor your approach to fit the specific characteristics of each market.

Increase your outcome by studying your trades. Reverse trading is simply a tool ready to be used when it makes sense. The outcome is still rooted with how well you execute your trades. A thoughtful approach goes a long way! You actually have a lot of options with your Trade Copier.
