Hi all

My Revolution far ward testing on EU is trading well -- four days running and up and no trades open at present

Just so you know I am not intervening at all at this point. I am not stopping the ea at all. I am starting the ea to run on Sunday at market open and will be shutting the ea off this Friday just before the market close and I will be watching closely on Friday to hopefully shut down the ea when all trades are closed.

From looking into the active trades its the JPY trades which are holding the most DD overall.

JPY strengthened a bit over the last few hours, and there are a lot of open JPY buy orders holding on. Hopefully things turn around and the EA can do some cost averaging and recover some of those bitches.

I'll leave it alone as I'm curious to see how it manages them.

If mine can hold the under 200 trades into the weekend...will have a little more data to work with...to be sure.

Running 19 pairs doesn't allow for anything like a huge range on multiple crosses...Should've tested them on 2 separate...but maybe this gives an idea of which ones to put together and run on 2 accounts...

Overall...I'd be inclined to agree with you...

TDA survived and doubled a $3k account with only 7 pairs before being losing to a couple of stops...this logic, has the ability to basically double the pace and close out worst positions to possibly see that these the Draw Per Pair, may not have gotten to be to these same levels...

Revolution didn't get caught by the northern spike on EU...

There was enough momentum for the logic to sit out this trend.

Not so much on Cable...but, well...nobody's perfect!

I've got a total of 9 trades in EJ and GJ...there's a couple of other JPY Crosses that aren't helping the bleed...

Overall, I'm not that optimistic for these to go to a bullish enough trend to close some of the worst trades out this week...but, anything can happen!

Still research n development stages...less than a week in play...meh.

Hi Magix,

Somes suggestions and questions :

1 : Do you know what type of scenarios is a nigtmare for Revolution ? and if you know it, is it possible to check in the history if this type of scenario have already occur ?

2 : If a nigthmare scenario have already occur in the past, what amount of margin/capital/news ideas is neccesary for trying to survive ?

I know you hate backtest but for this kind of idea/research it can be usefull, what do you think ?

Regards,
GregV

Hey Greg,

Revolution is less than a week old...so, really, I don't have this information.

Evolution was based on another EA that I released - TDA...it was limited time trial in another FF Thread - shut off for the public on January 1st - My version I kept running.

TDA finally amassed enough Draw to Close out 2 pairs on a Stop Loss, after just short of 6 months of live testing due to Price Action you can see on this EU Daily Chart. There was enough retrace to load the boat...but not enough to close out ALL TRADES - which was mandatory for the TDA Logic.

The Revolution Triggering has been redefined from TDA...TDA having the EXACT same triggering as Evolution.

Revolution is a lot more refined in practice in that it waits for a momentum shift - Kinda...

The Largest issues in Forward Live Testing came because TDA had to close ALL TRADES before it would close any. When I shifted to the current core, it allows for the sum of the best trades, with the absolute worst trade, to be closed in Profit on an exit trigger. The idea, was simply to get the EA to lock in and close profit and wait for additional opportunities or a full-on trend reversal to finish closing out other trades in loss.

Now...there are some unknowns with Revolution.

There is a possibility, because of it's conservative nature in counter triggering, that it may not be able to have enough aggression to close out some of the worst positions...so, this needs to be put to the test.

A live test.

BACKTESTS ARE BULLSHIT!!
lol

And...for your particular circumstances - Renko 2p - There is ZERO complete data on TDA, Evolution or Revolution and the Backtesting on these fails even harder.

I do (reasonably guess) that $200 per pair with a minimum $2k account will survive my magic 7 pairs and this is what I've been playing with Live...I do interject some manual into my automated, so, even at this...can't really give you a full set of stats...just my best guess.

On a personal note...

If I would have stopped trading at TK and just sat out NY...I would have been 5 bucks richer...still ahead, but had to really fucking peddle hard to come back on TK gains...

Trading the terminal in for grampa duties this evening...

Wife was in an accident...wiped out the side of her vehicle -> sideswiped and Hit n Run...Motherfucker!!
(should specify-it was the other driver that hit her and fled)

Back for London Close/NY Open (ish)...

Good evening all!

Shaken - Not Stirred...

F150>Minivan!

She tried to chase the dude down, but...well...criminals don't much obey the same driving rules in a stolen vehicle as you would in your own.

Shitty thing...as it seems...insurance doesn't like to cover vehicular damage done by stolen cars...

Baby was picked up...time for a cold beer, or few?

Thanks for the concern, dude.

How do you eat an elephant?

It's not like eating a fucking apple, you know...

An apple, you can sit and eat as a snack, before lunch, after lunch...pretty much anytime!

Funny thing about eating apples - and weight loss...

If you think you are hungry, ask yourself the question - Am I hungry Enough to Eat an Apple?

If the answer is yes...you are hungry...
If the answer is no...it's your body fucking with ya...

Anyways...Eating an apple and eating an elephant are 2 very different sized meals.

An elephant, to not get indigestion or explode, you need to eat in small portions.

Dafuqz this have to do with market??

Well...in the same way as we eventually want to match up all of our lost socks and if the goal is eating an elephant, this happens in steps.

Today, was an off day...

Sometimes you are the windshield...sometimes, you are the bug.

But the goal stays the same.

We're in a very RANGEY chop and as expected and has been shown with Evolution, there will be some DRAW...

But...like Evolution...we didn't get to 50% gains by trying to eat an elephant in one sitting...

It takes patience.

Sometimes...a little prickly armpit type patience...

But we will match up these fucking socks...and will eat that fucking elephant.

I should write for Hallmark, hey?
