{quote} and thinking about this further.... it won't just limit by risk, it will reduce the size of my losses also when 1) the candle closes against my intended direction and 2) I let the BO to expire. Am I getting this right? why is this not discussed more on forums?
It is not discussed because the Binary Options space is so tainted with scammers, that people fail to see the wood for the trees.

{quote} right... but my model suffers miserably when I limit my automation to a single pair. it requires a minimum of 3 pairs for winrate to be above 50+%. Off all the currencies GBP pairs yield the best winrate. next in line is GBP+JPY pairs... all when trading only 4 hours of london and 4 hours of london+usa overlap.
I must be missing something, you have a load of concurrent entries across different pairs, so why can't those all be binary contracts instead of spot positions?

{quote} i dont know. it might work. all my testing thus far is buy and hold, move sl to be, reduce risk and let it run until Friday close. I have ignored individual trade performance from my stat. I think it might work but need more evidence :-(
I cannot answer that, it is back to your computer time

{quote} If Nadex is regulated for US traders, that's a good combination for me (with Oanda or Interactive Brokers... which is too complex) Any anyone out here used MT4 bridge with Oanda and Nadex???
Officially Nadex do not offer an API, but I have a contact who says he has reversed engineered their REST API, it is essentially the same as IG Markets

I only know european-style BO, nadex is US-residents only and honestly I don't see how BO (european) could better serve as a hedging method compared to more traditional forex-based methods.

I just don't understand what is the point of talking all this stuff that much at public ) You don't have to prove anything to anyone. Hardwork should not given away just like this.

I appreciate your concerns, and the compliment they imply.

It is not about proving anything, I am not giving anything away that can disclose my edge, but an exchange of ideas can produce more ideas, are you familiar with the mastermind group as described in Think and Grow Rich?

This can be a lonely game, maybe I will find a set of like minded people and maybe we will talk in private about more detailed stuff.

i agree with that, as above, my suggestion is not to use them as a hedge at all, but as the main instrument traded, in VEEFX's case. Nadex being an exchange is more cost effective though, from my brief analysis typical payback is in the region of 90% depending on your timing, and it is possible to exit mid contract, it is essentially the same deal as what IG Markets call Digital 100

from your earlier posts its obvious you dont like whats discussed here.
and this thread being in the Trading Discussion section: whats wrong with these discussions being here - no need to pick up the phone surely.
childish talking about gamblers etc while you dont even know how GuyBaker trades.
why dont you just move along to where you feel at home?

Well I considered it went beyond irony and into the realm of disrespect. But I've taken your assertion of your posts intentions and re-included it.

This has moved for sure into disrespect. I'll leave it though because it shows who you are. This though is my final warning, if you have nothing constructive to say, please say nothing, you will notice that Twee has been busy removing a lot of your vitriol against me in other threads, small minded bullying from anyone is not welcome here, and if I had my way on these forums in general.

" low minded bitterness , small minded bullying " : also these are offensive phrases , but I'm not going to cry to Twee .
Perhaps you are too busy with your ego to get to know the work of others ; you should read the threads of the past months , especially in the
Commercial section ( e.g Scammers - Hall of Shame ) to understand the work that I did ( along with my dear Friends and many other honest FF
Members ) against the FF scammers .
FF Staff and some honest member must try to keep clean this wonderful place of discuss and freedom called ForexFactory.

In the context of your posts those responses I made are valid.

I 100% agree with keeping the site clean, where we differ are the methods used. Can you honestly say that your posts here are in the spirit of keeping the site clean and honest? I don't think anyone would read your posts that way.
