LOL no offense taken. Who wants to talk with only those that agree with them? Nothing gained there. You may have noticed that while my percent of trade is high for presentation purposes of this test, at half the account and certainly not what should ...

I absolutely agree with this, although it is not optimum position sizing, it will always keep you betting with the winners and less when losing.

Thanks for your response here and I agree with you regarding gambling and trading, however that was not my point. This test stops precisely as you describe when a predefined loss or Profit is reached. I only use the random data to point out that the ...

Food for thought — I created a coin toss indicator that has a margin of error of less than 1/100,000 of 1 percent randomness in 100 million coin tosses. (See screen shot) By taking the Balance and dividing it in half and only using half of the ...

It is more that being out of sync. look at the red line which is not locked and look at the blue line that is locked. The blue line is absolutely what happened in real time when each bar was the current bar. Now look at the red line and notice that ...

Both indicators are overlayed in the same sub window. The 1.1 (blue, locked history) is laid on top o the red, so when the red goes out of phase with the locked one it shows up and is easy to see. The reason there is only one title, is because both ...

That is not correct. It bounces all over the place so if you are relying on data from history then it may or may not be accurate. In fact I cannot say for certain which method is accurate.

Now to fall a little deeper down the rabbit hole; the price we see on the chart as the current actual tradeable price, isn't. It is the past by microseconds, to as much several seconds, but never real time; another anomaly of MT4. For ...

Which is it; the red pill or the blue pill? This is even more insidious if you think about it, because I would think all history is subject to rewrites over time, even the chart currency. The only reason it does not obviously show up is because any ...

Here are the two test indicators I used. You will see in the 1.1 version how I locked the history in place. BTW here is the latest chart. the thing bounces all over the place, unfortunately. Also note, that as far as I can tell the current bars is ...

I have seen it on all time frames. I just used m1 so you could see it happen faster. It is the same for all.

and another that snapped back. That's enough to prove my point I think.
- smjones replied Feb 10, 2011
and now a different shift from history. You just cannot trust the off chart currency history.

Starting to Drift — It is starting to drift already and the second screen shot was difted for about a minute and then snapped back. due to the M1 bars being corrected in history ( changing the past )

Well that sounds encouraging. I was not questioning your logic or your explanation to the problem with his reversal of trades, what I am saying is there is an inherent problem with how MT4 handles multi currency calls. Thanks for your answer. Also ...

Use a 1 and not a 0 then. You are still going to have the problem of the changing history in the off chart pairs unless you lock them down. This is the fault of MT4. You have to lock down the history for the off chart pairs.
- smjones replied Feb 10, 2011
That will not work. the problem is not iStochastic() It is that the History for the off chart currency changes in mt4 when it picks up mis-counted M1 bars. It is correct at the moment it happens, but can become incorrect in the history or even ...

Yes, I had this problem even with other Multi-currency IStochatic() functions. What I did to solve this problem is this. bool run_once = true; Init() { the init stuff here.... } Start() { if(run_once) { my code that would normally be in the start ...

Dreamliner — Could you put this guy image texmade1 on your naughty list? It is very distracting for him to post unrelated systems and screen shots, to this method. My guess is that he attempting to build a following for some sort of ...

I see what you mean. It does not matter much whther it is bbs or ssb. Ok, that is true. Although, this idea of a three stoch might prove useful. however, the single currency directional play is still cheaper, but requires more thought to get the lot ...
