Thirty trades carry most of my result

On the shipped 5-minute MasterVP system, the best 30 of 1,643 trades are 77% of the result. One target hit pays for about five full losses. The rest of the book is the cost of being in position when the big move comes, and most trades end at break-even or a capped stop. 🧪


And it settles the bank-it-early question for me. I tested more than twenty alternative exits, nine of them partial profit taking, and every one cut the winners that pay for the losers. Lowering the target made drawdown worse, for the eighth time in this program.

None of this is a call to do anything. It is how I framed the problem for myself, published so it can be argued with. If your framing is different I would genuinely like to read it, and I read every reply here.

MasterVP 1/10: the map. Volume profile, mVAH, mPOC, mVAL, and why value matters

MasterVP · Systematic Trading Journey. Chapter 5: the auction picture my intraday method is built on, and why I use my own profile instead of the textbook one.


What is the one number you check before trusting a result?

The honest limit here is execution, not analysis. A read like this survives contact with a chart far better than it survives contact with a human deciding whether to take it at 3am, which is most of why I stopped deciding and wrote the rules into an engine instead.

Why I Like Compact, Testable Logic

Compact logic is easier to maintain. 📊

It is easier to debug.

It is easier to reproduce.


Trading systems should be as small as possible while still being useful.

That is not simplicity for its own sake.

It is control.


What I learned:

The more compact the logic, the easier it is to separate signal from decoration.

I keep MasterVP lean for exactly that reason: a small set of Volume Profile rules rather than a pile of indicators.

What I left out of the post: the version of this that failed first. Most of what I publish is the third or fourth attempt at the same idea and the earlier ones died quietly. Happy to go into which ones, if that is the more useful half.

₿ BTC levels for the New York open - which way does it break?

83418 decides it. Above it, 84000 stays open; under it, this map is wrong.

  • Last read: 83170 gave way (low 82952), so the Asia map was wrong ❌

  • Key levels: 83662 VAH above / 83491 below.

  • ▲ Hold 83491 and close over 83662 → 84000 (M15 upper value edge).

  • ▼ Lose 83491 → 83418 mPOC, then 83144 VAL.

  • → Net Vol ▲ 92%, but on low volume, so the push still needs follow-through.


📊 Key levels

🔼 Resistance: 83662 → 84000

🔽 Support: 83491 → 83144 → 83418


🔑 The setup

  • → BTC US (opens 12:30 UTC, ~23'): price 83597 pushed above VWAP 83455 and mVAH 83491, lean 55/45 higher.

  • Invalid: M5 close under 83418.


🗞️ Backdrop

Reuters reports the dollar eased as investors wait for US CPI data and Fed speakers. That keeps a data risk on the calendar, but no major news materially changes the levels or the bias.

One number matters more than the targets: 83418. That is where I stop arguing with the chart. I publish it before the session rather than after because a stop level decided while a position is open is not a stop level, it is a negotiation.

🥇 XAU levels for the New York open - am I reading this one right?

4139 decides it. Lose it on a close and 4136 opens; reclaim 4144 and the lean stalls

  • Last read: lost 4155, that bullish Asia map was wrong ❌

  • Lean 55/45 lower. Net Vol ▼ 71%, on thin volume

  • ▼ M5 close under VAL 4139 (saturated) → 4136 day low

  • ▲ close back over 4144 (mVAL/POC) → VWAP 4153


📊 Key levels

🔼 Resistance: 4144.3 → 4152.8

🔽 Support: 4139.1 → 4136


🔑 The setup

  • XAU NY (opens 12:30 UTC): 4140.5, under VWAP 4153, EMA25/100/200 stacked down on M5 and M15

  • → stuck 4139-4144: no edge, wait for a close

  • Invalid: above 4155.5 (VAH). If 4153 prints before 4136, this read was wrong


🗞️ Backdrop

Reuters reports gold slipped for a third straight session as markets await US inflation data, with the dollar easing ahead of CPI and Fed speakers. Neither changes the levels above; CPI is the scheduled risk event to watch around them.

The invalidation is the only part of this I would defend: 4155.5. Everything above it is a framing, and framings are cheap. If price accepts through that level and holds, the read is finished and I am not looking for a reason it still works. That last part took me far longer to learn than the level did.

Same chart, different decisions: what emotion does to a discretionary trader

Chapter 2. The same setup gets two different answers depending on how the last trade went. What breaks, and what is worth keeping.


Would you run this live as it is? Yes or no, and why.

1,000 fake versions of my entry

I gave chance a fair shot at my gold entries. 🔍


Each system got 1,000 fake twins: same hours, same months, same stop sizes, same long bias. Only the moment of entry was random. On 2024 to 2026, none of the 1,000 fakes on either system matched the real entry.


The bottom panel is the one I like most, its the honest one. On quiet 2021 to 2023, 299 of the 1,000 fakes beat the 10-minute system. It misses the pass mark I fixed before the run, so the system mostly stands aside in that kind of market, and the result stays published.


Backtest or forward test: which one do you actually trust?

If you are reading this without having joined anything: the part worth taking is the method, not the level. Levels expire in hours. Writing the invalidation down before the entry has held up for me a great deal longer than any single number has.

The Tester is not the truth

Every retail backtest I have ever been shown was run inside the platform's own tester, on modelled bars, and tuned until it looked good. 🧩


That is a machine for manufacturing hindsight and I used it that way for months without noticing.


Now the logic gets developed against every recorded tick outside the terminal, and the terminal is the referee that can overrule it. The platform I do not control wins the argument.


Educational purpose only. Not financial advice.


Who else has done exactly this?

One thing worth saying out loud that the post above does not: every number I publish comes off my own data and my own execution, so it carries my blind spots with it. If you have run something similar and got a different answer, I would rather have the different answer than the agreement.

Technical Insight: Regime Awareness

The same setup can behave differently depending on regime. ⚠️

Trend, chop, compression, expansion, high spread, low spread, these are not cosmetic differences.

They change the quality of the decision.


That is why regime awareness is not optional.

It is part of the edge.


What I learned:

If you ignore regime, you may be testing one idea across multiple markets without realizing it.

MasterVP builds that awareness in with an ATR-volatility veto, so it steps aside when the regime turns against what it was designed for.
