Dislikedlet me tell you, the only way to have any sort of profit or loss during a triangular arbitrage is when the lotsizes of the 3 trades are not perfectly calculated (you are more exposed on some currencies than the other), thus your profits/losses comes from the fluctuation of such currencs. Basically you are buying and selling randomly and taking many small profits, what can ever go wrong?Ignored
DislikedOk this is risky, but I need advice. I opened an indiegogo page to help me fund some of the development of this EA seeing that I am received requests and PMs from everywhere for a lot of setting changes and enhancements. I appreciate it, but it is a lot of work. I wont paste the link here just yet seeing that I do not know if it is allowed here. That is my question. Can I or can't I post a link ? This EA will be free once done and even before as you can see now in any case, but I need some way of helping or just to speed up the development....Ignored
DislikedPoor EA was crying after this test so I need to teach it not to panic and cater for it. Can swap differ so much between brokers? I though it was a currency connected value, but it seem now to be broker/account specific. Am I correct ?Ignored
Disliked******************************* Very basic summary ******************************* 1) Buy 1 unit GBPJPY 2) Sell 1 unit GBPUSD 3) Sell ?? units using the USD in point (2) in USDJPY to balance everything out Do this randomly at any time if no open positions.

Disliked@spyderman Thanks. I will adapt my EA to detect swap and compensate. Should not be too difficult seeing swap make for an EXTREMELY small part of the profit. Just be aware that the current EA does not cater for high swaps and will DIE. As for the base lot. That is a bit more involved. I calculate the margin required per lot size and then how how many levels deep I want to go, which at the moment is 2 level, but I am thinking of increasing it. Then calculate the amount of profit needed per trade using the amount of lots based on margin requirements...Ignored
DislikedWhat broker do you suggest that is trustworthy with 500:1 and 0.001 lot size ? That will still only take it down from $10,000 to $1000, but still a massive improvement.Ignored
Disliked@EeZeeTrader For some reason is there no commission and very high spreads and very high swaps on the demo account I opened at FXPRO. This is compared to my fxchoice accounts. According to their website they do charge commission and have low spreads and swaps so I am confident if I take more time to find that demo account it will do better. I probably did something wrong and will check into it a bit later, but for now I am using it as a worst case scenario. I like to make sure my programs can work with it so that the better accounts can make even...Ignored
