What strategies can be considered non-replicable, given that demo accounts have a live execution model (and if they don't involve news trading and keeping positions open on weekends)? Can you provide some example?

It seems the maximum funding you can get through Enfoid challenges is 700k. According to Enfoid website, "The Total Traded Capital per Trader is 700000 USD (after 700k is reached, scaling is only possible via the "by EnFoid" method)".

Hi, is it possible to backtest EA based on currency strength indicator (this or this)? If not, is there a way to backtest either of these indicators manually?

Frst of all, clarify what do you mean exactly: on average 100% per month without compounding (=1200% per year) or with compounding (=300000% per year)?

Thanks for clarifying. But there remains some trading activity even when liquidity is drying up. Sometimes during major news price can move a few hundred pips in several seconds, i wonder who is responsible for such movements (which type of market ...

Hi katrooo, 1) There are usually big movements of price during the first seconds after major news release, huge volumes must be involved. My suspicion is that some big players (hedge funds/banks) are using autoclick software and entering the market ...

Something really strange happened. Price spiked 90 pips up on gold 15 sec before the news release. On other usd pairs also was huge spike at that time. I have not even placed pending orders, i do it 10 sec before the news usually.

My broker is Oanda currently. High spreads, but very small slippage. Have you traded NFP or AUD Employment with FXTM? How big was slippage?

Is it so from your own experience? I do not think EA is a problem here, it just placed stop order before the news but then this order was filled 20 pips below. Well, at least my broker's MT4 obviously has some problems. There is slippage with MT4, ...

I traded AUD Employment with Amazing EA. When i used manual straddling there was almost no slippage with Oanda's fxTrade platform but today i used MT4 because of EA and slippage was surprisingly big - 20 pips. So it seems MT4 platform is deeply ...

Hi skenobi, 1) Are any of instituional traders using candlestick patterns (pinbars, engulfings) in their analysis? 2) Because of very strong correlation between pairs it seems that minors and exotics are almost completely driven by majors, for ...

It is not quite the same, what i suggest is just not open new orders in countertrend and wait, without hedging. Just use second EA that will open new orders according to new trend (not hedging in traditional meaning). If you use hedges, in DOWN ...

I have thought about another approach: some sort of mean reversion strategy. So here is one more suggestion that can help to manage huge drawdowns: -Optional suspension of opening new orders if trend has changed (continuation of opening new orders ...

My suggestions for EA improvement: - Add the ability to use 2 EAs on one chart. - Optional closing without profit in countertrend (it is obligatory now). - Optional closing of all trades immediately if trend has changed. Not sure if this would be ...

I think the reason for this is Bank of Canada's interest rate cut on 21th january. I checked Recent Oanda Spreads and it seems all CAD pairs were affected by the interest rate change. Maximum spread (i.e. spread during news release) on gbp/cad was ...

Well, not bad so far. On NFP i was stopped out at breakeven. On AUD employment change i made +15% gain. Execution was great: slippage only 2 pips. Have not traded other news this month. Reaction to GBP employment announcement was good this time, but ...

Hi GoogleTrader, Have you more historical data and can you make similar backtests for the whole year or several months at least?
- Talvinen replied Dec 21, 2014
With gold/silver SL would be even bigger - around 40 pips, but with pending orders SL must hit on rare occasions. I am planning to trade news live with oanda next year. I will trade only NFP and CAD unemployment on days when it do not coincide with ...
- Talvinen replied Dec 21, 2014
I am aware of all the problems with pending orders (btw if there is no slippage on SLs there must be no slippage on pending orders too), but market orders also have problems: the biggest problem is that about half of all trades are losses. It works ...
- Talvinen replied Dec 20, 2014
Yes, there are some spread costs but if we always buy before news in approximately 50% of cases we will be wrong and get losses that can be avoided if we place pending order. When pending order is fulfilled price most likely will continue moving in ...
