Hi Don, In your opinion, what could be the reason why one single EA would give totally different results from one broker to another? I understand there may be differences in the spot, also differences in terms of spread, but how is it possible to ...

I must admit I really don't know how we could use news when trading the basket, or even when trading pairs, except not to trade during news, or closing positions before news. See what happened today with USD and CAD news. It's interesting, as I had ...

This is exactly the way I plan to trade the basket, although I'm not yet sure I have found a successful strategy! But I will discard some indicators, such as Samir, because I don't think it makes sense to use an indicator which only shows us if the ...

OK, but in this case I guess you're not talking about the same thing as this thread does, because as far as I know, all tools and EA's that have been developed here in this thread are for buying or sellnig the whole basket. Anyway I agree with you ...

I understand very well the logic behind the T101 method, and I have read through various threads about it. My question was not about the basket trading method itself, but about why we should use other entry and exit methods than with a classical ...

Do you mean you only enter based on stock market charts? This is a totally new approach... could you please elaborate about your entries? Thanks

I'm still wondering what is the real difference between the basket and any other single pair, I mean why should we trade this "artificial pair" with other tools than any other pair? I'm using basket offline charts, and the 14 basket pairs behave ...

Not sure I would go against the EA in this situation, anyway there is no option to do this I guess... but let's wait for Ronald's answer. However, your second question makes more sense to me... I wonder how you can find tradeable hours if you ...

Thanks for your reply. I'm currently testing various combinations as well, but I remember having read some posts about combining WR above 60 and RR above 1, so that's why I have tried to do. But the result is that my Optimization file contains only ...
- jl83 replied Aug 31, 2010
So this means that settings such as WR 60% and RR 1.3 are simply un-usable?

Thanks. I had started initially using M5 charts, and Rfking's version of the EA, but after watching the webinars, I switched to M1. I have launched optimization with the following settings on 9 majors: - 200 SL (i.e. 20 pips) - reverse = false - ...

Thanks Ronald for your reply. No problem with -1, it was just to make sure I fully understand how to interpret this. Just 2 more questions... You say everytime you re-optimize, the main changes are S/L and T/P. But I thought you based these settings ...

Hi all (and especially Ronald, for whom these questions are), I have discovered this thread a few days ago, and I've begun trying the EA on a demo account. I would like to ask Ronald a question: once optimization is done, if we look at the Optimized ...

Hi William, I'm currently trying your "mixed method", i.e. Kos method when the trend is clear, and your method for range periods, and the results are not too bad for the moment. Well, still more losses than gains on range periods, but I'm just ...

I have to say I understand Don's obstination find an automatic trading solution, because some people (I'm one of those) find it difficult to have success with forex, due to various reasons when trading with real money. Unfortunately, I also have to ...

You're right, risk is something very personal to each one. Anyway, thanks for your input. For my first day "seriously trading" this method: +605 $ +660 $ -500 $ (in 10 minutes... due to news... forgot to monitor this one!) +50 $ +160 $ (just stopped ...

I agree with you about dollars and pips, but of course when I speak about trailing stop, I mean in dollar. The principle is the same, but rather than having the ProfitLock threshold jump from 700 to 1000, it's smoother because the ProfitLock moves ...
- jl83 replied Aug 24, 2010
The issue with the ProfitLock EA's is that once profit is locked, even a small pullback triggers the stoploss. Kos said he was waiting for a fair amount of profit before triggering the ProfitLock EA, and I have experienced the same, so I wondered ...

I don't know if someone can answer this question (though I know it's personal to each one). Based on your experience with BTS trading, what would you consider a good level of gain: - before introducing a breakeven (to avoid losses in case of return) ...

I see what you mean. However, when I say trading GBP/JPY, of course it's not "looking at GBP/JPY and trade the basket", it's rather "looking at GBP/JPY... and trade GBP/JPY" ! Because you're right, they don't always behave exactly the same... I was ...
