DislikedI leave you guys alone for two weeks and you've DOUBLED the length of the thread!!!!!!!!! Joder!!
Happy New Year all, I've been out in Cyprus setting up a sales office so haven't been around the forum.Ignored
QuoteDislikedHere's an idea, if we're looking at which pairs to include/exclude why not use the values from KG GROUP to give us an indication?
EG: Using the reversal method. If JPY is your trigger and it's heavily depreciating then you're looking to SELL the pairs expecting a recovery of JPY strength.
If, however, GBP (for example) is also really low, you'll be expecting that to recover too and for the GBP/JPY (maybe/possibly) to then appreciate. Perhaps, we can use this as an indication for excluding GBP/JPY from an overall SELL basket. We could choose...
QuoteDislikedWish list:
Obviously the EA doesn't have nearly enough options so here's some more fuel for the fire:
- Trading hours to turn EA on/off.

- TP on individual open trades as each one reaches a certain value. (maybe MPTM already does this).
QuoteDisliked
- Lot sizes by % of account for each pair (or at least variable).
QuoteDislikedThe DD is obviously a concern. There is no way on earth I could put capital behind a system that routinely dropped -30% of the account value and then leave it to run with the hope it will come back. Currently I cherry pick the exits manually.
It is possible that these two ideas will make it possible to trade this EA with a stop loss - don't know yet. I have a demo in place that sets a $10 sl against a $2 tp. Unacceptable odds in terms of conventional mm, but this is basket trading; it remains to be seen how this will pan out.
