Yes, I agree. I have been using FxPro in the past aswell and tried cTrader. The unreasonably large spreads in addition to commission charges made no sense to me either. Either you pay the broker's spread mark-up or commissions and have a raw spread. ...

You need to be realistic. I think the EA was never meant to turn a $1.000 account into $10.000 over the course of a year, unless you take a crazy amount of risk, going in with 1.00 or 3.00 lot size, as shown in the video on post #1. If you backtest ...

Yes, I modified the v1.2 code and named it v1.3. The gross loss comes from the losing trades. There are no fees involved. The gross loss from the original version is ~75%. So there is no big difference. Version 1.3 takes bigger risk in favor of ...

This is a nice EA indeed. Thanks a lot @Pawel.Gawron! I used the the Ultron1.2 code from page 1 and made some modifications. GBPUSD, Test from 2015-2021 with TickData Suite: image image Compiled EA & Source code: file file

You don't need input parameters for iCustom in this case. Just use iCustom( NULL, PERIOD_CURRENT, 0, 0 ). It should give you the current VWAP value.

Closed @ 1,35744

GBPUSD Buy @ 1,34911 It seems they finally achieved some agreement on fish, the last obstacle.

Trying martingale on a demo account.

UK also seems desperate (and broke). Possible that this is just a cat and mouse game, just can-kicking and see who is withdrawing first. None of them wants to be the Brexit pooper who called it quits first. 11:35 Dec 21 ...

Learning fundamentals isn't done by a "course" you can take. There are a few good informational videos on YouTube, but it still takes a while to understand how the market reacts to different comments. It is a "learning by doing" process which ...

It seems moty blows up one account after another, until he is right once in a while.

Don't make the mistake like many other traders and only focus on the technical aspect (technical analysis) of the market. Only retail traders use purely TA and as we all know: 90% of retail traders lose money. The real driving force behind the ...

Brexit mood souring again since yesterday's evening call between BoJo and UvdL, followed by additional downbeat comments from the UK side. I went short GBP when the first news was on the Squawk. image New (EU's) deadline is yet again next sunday. ...

If either side announces to walk away from the talks and a "no-deal" (even if it is just temporary, they can always pick up negotiations later), GBP will go down, 100%. Why? Because the market is pricing in a deal outcome, that's the major reason ...

Yes, both FA & TA are "fuel", because every trader sees the same chart, no matter if retail, bank, institutional, ... Yes, I've seen that too: Positive / negative impact news, but the market didn't move much or even moved in the opposite direction. ...

Yes, but unless you take the fundamental reason into account, you don't know why the picture was painted while the market "priced in" ("discounted") the information. I tend to disagree. If you are subscribed to a realtime squawk and hear that UK ...

Fundamental reason: Brexit optimism boosts GBP. Ongoing DXY weakness, especially after yesterday's dovish Fed Powell press conference pressures USD. Plus "risk on" moves money from safe heavens (which USD is too) into risk assets. TA cannot tell you ...

I also can't get rid off the feeling that BoJo doesn't really want a trade deal and secretly desires a "no-deal".

Looking to get long the Pound again. Despite the fishery issues, Brexit positivity is still in the air. In hindsight, sometimes the best you can do is open a trade and just walk away from the screen or sit on your hands. But GBP seems pretty much ...
