I have and use Forex Tester, but its still a bit laborious. QC seems to be much faster. If you don't want to pay to play - watch the video and it will give you a better idea of what they do. url March 6th one is pretty cool. Hayseed - where can I ...

I have to admit, I have a lot of trading ideas, but no programming skills. I hate paying a ...

I ran some tests, and although they look good - you need a large account - so I would say hold off. I rant a test - almost 2 years of data. Need a $1 mm account probably I would guess or a $100k to trade .01 lots or $10k to trade .001 lots. I would ...

Markets are complex - but trading systems should not be. The more complex a trading system, the more likely it will not last. Simpler is better, and C-Trader run this new way more than meets that criteria.

To further re-iterate the new method, we must look at why the original could not withstand an unwind. With the old method, you could blow an account out with just one pair going against you, if the other pairs were not offsetting enough. So for a ...

C-Trader lives again!! — I have figured out the missing piece..... C-Trader was built to live through multiple hundred pip moves where martingale could not. We found out that Armegeddon type moves will still kill this method...... to which I ...

First of all - that original demo account was a stress test and NEVER went into safe mode. That is the reason it blew out. Second - I am still around. I have been testing this same logic on multiple markets, not just currencies. I have mixed ...

I might stick with the most risk free way of doing this...... Buy GBPUSD at IBFX and sell GBPUSD at FXCM. Both pay interest....... and can't get a more perfect hedge than that!! AUDCAD same thing. Can create a basket that is perfectly hedged between ...

No I changed the password. I am doing some different/better things with the basket and don't want to confuse anyone. Going to reduce the volatility even more. It currently stands at $133,800.

Her is a screen shot of the performance. Account opened 5/18 with mixed basket and using safe mode. 33% in 3.5 months

Oh it moves......... actually makes the whole basket more volatile. Maybe you hit a funny week. My ideal basket would be one that hardly ever moves though. That way you could leverage it up and make money on the swap.

That might be something to test for sure. My concern would be if some get taken away because they are in the money, while other parts of the basket are not and continue to go against you. But you may have a good idea. Maybe start a demo account at ...

We do not only close profitable trades. As a matter of fact, my demo shows only about 55% winners after nearly 250 closed trades.

I don't think you mess with the core. Use it as the measuring stick of when to add and not add. What if you take it off at +500 and it would have gone to +1200? In the end though - if you think you can game it with timing - go for it. Again, for me, ...

New Equity highs Loving this. New highs only days after the worst unwind since 1998

As part of a larger account I am.
- chartguy replied Aug 22, 2007
If your core is down $2500, then consider yourself lucky that you got to add on a lot lower than you would have. Call it the market forcing you into safe mode. In that case I would just add .40 lots, and wait for the drop to $96,000 and add the .80 ...

You can use an EA to be more efficient with grabbing exact #'s, but I just check it a few times a day and consider that my snap shot of where equity is or isn't. In the end it will all work out.

It's a very crowded trade. When Japanese housewives are doing the trade, you know it's hit a top. Bloomberg wrote about a Japanese or Chinese housewife last month who said "all you have to do is borrow Yen and Buy NZD, it's easier than....... (I ...
