I typically shy away at strategies with fixed pips for TP or SL. The reason being that volatility changes. Look at early 2014 low volatility for some pairs as compared with other time periods. This strategy calls for closing all open positions upon ...

In theory yes. Maybe would be good to re-program in MT5 and run all 3 pairs in a single backtest to see exactly how this fleshes out over the test period?

The strategy calls for applying the EA to 3 pairs which closes all for profit after a combined 50p profit is attained, right? I'm trying to understand how this relates to the backtest results demonstrated here performed on a single pair (GBPCAD). ...

You do this based on prior weekly closing beyond 20sma and daily bar crossing beyond 5 day daily donchian channel? How exactly do you handle your monthly ADR trailing stop? Thanks!

That's the problem with this thread and the described "strategy." While well-intended I think there's some confusion on the part of the author of this thread. Accordingly, take it all with a grain of salt.

Note: After weeks of waiting I finally received an "official" response from my written support inquiry on this topic indicating that they won't do anything about this. Accordingly, the matter has now been forwarded to their legal department.

There's a number of things wrong here. First of all, what are you offering to those who take you up on your challenge and prove it doesn't work? Now for the errors or unclear aspects of your strategy explanation. 1) Your opening graphic shows a line ...

I experienced this as well and discuss it at url

Here is my letter to [email protected] on this issue: ----------------------------- For holding a USDJPY position you charged -$20.32 for -130k USDJPY short ($233.02 deducted from my account). However, on your site at url it states that the day's ...

Forex.com claims to post it's rollover/swap rates in their "trading platforms" however they DO NOT post them within the MT4 platform contract specifications area as commonly posted by other broker's MT4 application. That, along with the fact that ...

To be clear meepstone you have 6 USDJPY short positions or something else with Oanda? Thanks for chiming in.

Can one run AlgoScripts from the web version? Or what about thru the upcoming Mac desktop version (which I believe I heard about)?

Been enjoying this indy last couple of days but just noticed it's now not operating correctly. I suspect it has something to do with the fact that we're now off hours. When I rebooted MT4 after hours (it's New Year's eve right now) all the sessions ...

Thanks. Yeah given all the variables sounds like parsing a file is the way to go. Do you have a URL you'd recommend which lists just the NFP dates? I've searched around bis.gov and they lump everything together into monthly schedules. Or, is it ...

Yes I realize that can be done but I was looking for something else. Do you know if all dates are pre-announced at the beginning of the year or how far in advance? And, historically, what has been the likelihood of a date being changed even after it ...

Have you tried StrToTime() and other time-based functions? Time is recognized differently on Mac vs Win. Have you tried inserting up/down arrow objects? These are but a couple of issues that are currently listed on the wine site for MT4 and that ...

Are there step-by-step directions for how to do this via wineskin? How stable is it? What doesn't work? Does MetaEditor work? Does Strategy Tester work? Thanks Bill
