INteresting statistics Accrete. Thanks for sharing. Other reports posted on the weekend showed that 1.0c wasnt all that hot...now its shining so far this week. Hmm. I think 1.0b will be the leader when we report the results on Saturday though...thats just my bet. A lot of the float will become booked pips with the news due tomorrow and Friday.
Quoting accreteDislikedHi Wizard, thx for the insights. I think in a live account i might go ahead and at least turn off the ea during the actual announcement, and maybe even close out all trades if it is a big day such as NFP. This Friday? Well i'll probably let it just go since it is only a demo and i'm trying to get the feel of it all.
Art1 hope you figured out those losses. I'm not trading that pair, but so far my 1c is the heads-above winner. The only losses i've incurred have been with the 63G-TS in my testing (but to soon to tell anything of real meaning). . .after NY close:
EA demo as of this post at 6PM Pacific Wed IBFX demo all at default settings, opened this last Sunday:
v1-0b2 closed +859 float -797 net = +62
v1-0c1 closed +1165 float -439 net = +726
63G-TS closed +636 float -707 net = -71
======On another note/thought. What if a trend factor of some sort was thrown in the loop? Like take X-kind-of-trade (long or short) if Xtrend (4 hr, daily, weekly??) was X? For instance we know from typical TA that a spike off support in an uptrend will usualy be indicative of a positive-pip-trade? And vise-versa w/downtrend bounce (spike) off resistance. This might be as simple as looking at the relationship of two MAs such as the 13 & 55 (insert your favorite pair/cross here) cross on XtimeFrame? If SlowMA is above FastMA then take spikes off support in direction of SMA/FMA trend?
Cheers,
ThomIgnored
