My demo closed again Friday and had 2 recovery trades. One was cut when it reached CLM x -PP. The other was opened during the equity pop closure and closed at a loss which took 3/4 of the profit. So far I am totally unimpressed with the recovery ...

Phan6_01xR(2-2) — Here's the one you've been waiting for. 39 losers cut, no basket close for 3 days, closed 37 trade basket to take 1.7% profit, then quickly closed another basket of 3 for another 1%. There was never any danger of a margin ...

Here is an answer I received from a broker when I asked about margin calls. That means it is a combination of number of trades and whether and how much they are winning or losing. If all your trades are winners you could have an infinite number of ...

Sure you can,but there are no guarantees that you will always win. Some folks on this thread I believe have reported trading with only $500 and doing well. If you trade with a small balance, it is always best to use a broker like IBFX that offers a ...

DropBox — Off the subject but maybe of interest to some folks here. I just found something that is really simplifying my life and it is absolutely free. If you work on more than 1 computer and have to put files on a memory stick or email them ...

That is correct. StopAfterNoTrades was designed primarily to allow you to stop the EA when it is flat (no trades open) to withdraw or add funds.

I didn't code anything - I don't have that ability. I just copied and pasted to the original EAs. I used it a while back on 1 of my demos for a week or so until I decided it wasn't working as I had anticipated. I don't believe that coding could be ...

TadawulFX Margin Call Procedure — This may be of interest. I have opened a live account with Tadawul and wanted to know exactly how their software handles a margin call. Apparently their procedure is the same as IBFX. Here is their answer to ...

Why would we want to do this? You guys keep talking about the death basket, but we have been testing these EAs for some time now and I have not seen any reports of anyone losing their entire balance. What I have seen is people who closed their ...

Phan6_01xR(2-2) — I am now using the latest version posted 2/2/11 and it seems to be working properly. However, trading with Tadawul the 1.1:1 or .9:1 have no effect since lot sizes can only increase or decrease .5. Here are my settings: ...

I just looked at the comments and those are both listed as recovery trades. The timing is what I cannot understand. Both were opened and closed at 02.01 1817, the same time that the basket started closing. I suppose they could have been opened as ...

Phantm6_01xR — I did change TradeCountForRecovery (TCFR) to 3 yesterday and last night I had a basket close with a problem I have never seen before. During the closing (same hour & minute), possibly an instant before the closing, two reverse ...

I'm not sure what you mean by this. The losses that are a result of cutting losers are already taken care of and included in in the profit when the EA closes a basket. Since PP is a percent of Last Flat Equity the EA cannot reach Equity target ...

OK, I'll change that. I also want to see how the recovery strategy works. BTW, my demo closed another basket with no cutting of losers and, of course no recovery - now up 3.26% in about 12 hours. Thanks for the compliment, but I don't really have ...

Phan6_01xR(1-29) — I put this on a TadawulFX 500:1 demo last night. This is the last version posted on 1/29, post 696. Closed 2 baskets overnite with 2.14% profit. First basket closed with just 5 trades, all winners. Second closed 1 loser ...

I uploaded the AddSix_02ax some time ago on this thread and I have been running it on a demo since 29 Nov. I also am using the CL option on that demo. It is not the best performing AddSix EA among my demos. AddSix_01x_CL has produced almost 3 times ...

jcs, could you post all of the settings you are using on the 500:1 account? I'm going to put this one on a Tadawul 500:1 demo and see how it works out there. Alpari UK is not accepting US clients, but Tadawul is. EDIT: BTW, I have been monitoring ...

Did not get your response, but did get one from Vassos Demetriou and have sent additional info to him. Thanks

I would need more info and maybe some screen shots to figure out what's wrong. The first thing to check is make sure that all pairs are listed in the Market Watch window. Are you running it on a separate platform from 02a? If so, there should be no ...

Certainly scenario 2 can and does happen and there is no way to know which way it will go. We cannot foresee the future. We have to deal with present conditions and find a strategy that works to our advantage over the long term. I believe the ...
