Not sure if this a bug — Hi David, I am testing your excellent order management system and have come up with something I don't understand. As you can see from the attached images, when the value of a trade goes above 1000.00 (Euro in this ...

Thanks for this Scoobs, will certainly take a long, hard look Agree, an interesting concept with this EA. Here is my 3 month forward 'see if we can break it' test. Having survived this, I am now looking at how to drop the draw-down etc. ...

Too dangerous? — I looked quickly at this one a while back, doing a forward test on my VPS, but quite honestly anything capable of getting into huge floating drawdown is probably not much use in the long run

I suggest keeping a very close watch on this EA, if you are using it live, as my basic strategy test was margin called - as expected.

Pippo Below is an OPTIMISED FORWARD test done on 14 pairs on this EA and IMHO "perhaps, release hedge ala Pipstrumph's method in FTLR BOT" is just not going to cut it. The trace shows this strategy is underwater after only 2 days, typical for this ...

Reversi so far — Hi Steve, Attached is a screen shot of Reversi performance so far, after a fairly rough optimisation to find a suitable time frame. Running on 14 pairs without mptm trade management. As you can see, seems to be profitable, but ...

Hi Steve, These types of system are quite well known & I believe originate from statistical work done on how often red/green candles & combinations come up. Somewhere there is a body of work done on this. Another slant is to go long if you get two ...

Hi Steve, If you do get around to some code bashing on this one, can you maybe also add an input to close a position at a set %loss of balance? The idea being that for instance GJ closes at maybe 2% loss, GU 1% etc. This may not go anywhere .... we ...

Breaking it — Hi Steve, I am seriously abusing the bot to see where it breaks (as usual), and rather surprisingly it is still alive. Interesting concept - I will keep you informed Have a good weekend ...

[quote=hiredwhip;4252848]Macman thanks for the reply.... My test's show that the Cable is a dead negative net in this system..... Whip, Mine don't - see attached. However I am sure there is a better combination of pairs out there, so feel free to ...

Max is exactly right about not curve fitting by removing pairs for short term gains. In fact you can almost guarantee what works today is not going to work tomorrow. What I do is try & spot an unusual day before it can do too much damage. I use a ...

Max bots — Hi Max, Here is an interesting graphic. Top line shows growth from the stable version 71c bot against the lower line showing growth after regularly updating to each new version as it came out - right now at version 133. Great work ...

This is the original version - one running a separate copy of MPTM and the other just closing due to the movement of the 6th's. As you can see MPTM is smoothing the drawdown slightly as well as limiting the profit slightly. Difficult to say which ...

Yes, very strong potential - below is my M15 test data to date. 73 trades taken, 72 closed in profit, but without the recovery module and without a S/L. USDCHF trade still open & approx 300 pips negative ATM.
