DislikedNo buddy, that wasn't a personalized post... just a general observation made after 5 years of forex forums.
But I can give you an example: see the bot of max in the other thread of steve?
Max is doing a great job, nicely coded... works maybe pretty good!
But is it still the bot trading Bob's system? Nope!
It's including trendlines, Trix, KG etc.... so basically something completely different.
And is Bob trading this? Nope... he sticks to the system working for him since years! And right he is. Improvements - if there are - needs to be tested...Ignored
I agree with most of what you said. Max is doing something that I already did (except the thousand other filters) and the problem is, it only takes one big move and kaboom. I have put a grid on anti-grid, grid on reverse-grid using this system etc... On a big big move, they all blow up and not sure you are any better. Although I didn't do it using the 2.4.2 limits, I used unlimited Martingale... So maybe there is something there.
I am focusing on the STARC bands as a replacement for the BB bands. I will not post that on this thread any longer and will open a new thread soon once I complete the EA.
As far as NB 5.0, I am down about 2-3% on my account for closed trades and with some more DD to resolve. No setups really that I see, but I know this will pass! I just wish I would have caught the August trading... per Astral!
