It is something weird with euraud as it keeps on going above 1.57, short again from 1.5716. There was an issue on my scaling algo ... should I correct it? Yes, I did, even if the system work without problems so far! limited impact anyway.
maybe keep 2 versions of the system, sometimes one come across good things by coincidence.
the scaling algo may be one such thing?
there is always, always another trade!!

Once the good thing happen one should understand why was a good thing and adapt to that situation.
I knew about the existence of it long(?almost start) time go, kept it as the impact was limited, now I see how I can use the effect produced by the issue in different scenarios.
Main issue was that extra entries arrived faster than intended. In a running market it was a good thing but in a walking market (slow moves, private system) it was bad as the market needs time to develop.

I am trying to determine what is good/bad on my system: the entry, the scaling, xyz, ... all peaces together should be set to function according to requirements ... a supper fast car with low speed tires won't produce the lookup result.

I have several versions/setups running ...

Closed the manual trade now at 1.5675 for a 51 eur profit as the volume was 0.2 lot ...
Is this 0.2 lot entry the magic formula for having profitable trades? I don't believe it but one could try.

A good example of a market walk just happened now, attached the trades. From next month the talk about the private account/setup will have more visibility as I will bring a few setups in here.

Euraud again above 1.57, should I wait or should I sell? or maybe a buy ... what's going on? I am such a great trader? ... 50 lot on the next trade?
I had several good entries on it, I kept track of some prices during time ... a little money management, now finally I look on the chart!
And I see that, ... in the last month it moved in a 200/300 pips range, 1.56 to 1.58 ... trading could be easy, free money to take as long as some limits are kept.
Keep the limits, take the money and move next! Looong track record will show skills but not always. Or maybe this is the only needed skill: make money! it doesn't need to be complicated.

A small update, I am done for the month in this public account. I just switched the system to trade privately for the rest of the day, only because I want to avoid to have open trades when the month change, not a rule for months to come.

Very good month: 12.9%

I had a lot of fun during this month while my system was making money on each market run. It slow down in the latest days but I don't feel guilty for scaring the market. Less fun, indeed, but I compensate with some stand up comedy shows. I'm done with the stand up shows, the fun has to return here.
Quite busy today doing different changes on the system architecture, code optimization ... few things got postponed, like: an efficient implementation of closing many trades in a high volatile moment. Now I aggregate a new setup that will bring more trades in, a few more to come in the next days.
A profitable fiasco is about to be unleashed once I enable the automated trading. Done!
I reset the account equity for easy statistics, I feel like increasing the capital but I hesitate in doing it.

What is going to be in March?
I look to make a 30% profit ... hard! happy with a 10%, I wish for 50%.
Many other things but will get to them.

This week I got the idea of writing my system for mt5 (cTrader also?) ... it will be interesting to compare the results.

This new system/setup I brought in this month is very ambitious ... is it looking to impress the colleagues in the 1st day?
The audnzd event is ongoing. The old setups didn't made much today, this tell me that nothing too important happened.
Went in a few more details, old (<10 events but not perfect) / new -> something like 30/60 in terms of money, excluding existing audnzd.

As for the euraud trade .. oh, I added an extra trade at 1.5746 ... this morning the price was around 1.58, me loosing 1xx eur ... I didn't add any extra, only if moooore up, then this evening closed one trade for 11 eur profit. Just added an extra trade at 1.5761. There was a chance to exit from all at BE but went for it.

I was never a fan of tv series, no attraction ... and maybe everybody I know watched at least a few in the last 5(10) years! I don't have a frustration with that but is like something is missing, ... was missing, because things got changed. I will show you my favorite tv series I currently enjoy to watch, ... a little bit sick/flue. Sometime is hard to watch it live, a blink of an eye is more than enough to miss an episode. Plenty of episodes and today's technology allows to watch it later too.

Curious about it?
I attached the latest episodes!

I closed the audnzd trades with a little loss but a decent profit overall. I don't see my account as a hotel for this weekend, I got enough experience from this event, the pair got slow - need a brake after each step. Watch out if you trade it, it is looking for accommodation and it doesn't have much money left!

It is obvious that my system is making money each time the market move ... this time I don't feel like writing more about profit, nothing to do with the euraud trades that are currently loosing something. I am thinking to make a profit revenge trading on this trades: close the trades with more profit ... maybe at 1.55 or 1.53.

It's a repeat lol, think many share your sentiments, UDSJPY beats eastenders anyday, have a good weekend, D

I like more and more my Friday's meetings, the ones I already talk about. Last Friday I had an extended session, with the time that will allow me to file a complain to the airline company and ask for delay compensation too.
The major key points that I touched were:
1) Improve the profitability of the system, without increasing the entry volume: how to get much more from a trade, the follow-up of a past event, few more setups.
2) Why I'm making it and others don't.
3) Show more respect to the thread title: put commercial offers.
4) A few more things but not so important...

From all above:
3) Soon (next week maybe?) I will start a public PAMM, other options - less probably, I will go in details at the right time.
1) I will set a few more things today, long ongoing process.
2) and 4) Most probably will stay with me only.

You're right, I got the same feeling ... same story, same actors, it starts to get boring. I could bring a few more actors in but it will be the same outcome.
But I think I see what you mean, a new system should be build! I am not looking to please someone with my money but make more money!

Meanwhile, a few more market moves, a few more money made.

I'm weeding out the bad and keeping the good, seems no matter how much back testing the actual/forward testing, throws up lemons, I would rather have 5 stable and making than 10 mixed, diversify seemingly, isn't the order of the day, D

39 won 4 lost since open last night

Globally speaking, keeping the good ones means that the system will have less trades - more accurate, and better trades gives trust to put much more money in a trade until one trade will fail and it could take out everything. Then you expect 5 good trades a day, fine, but what you do when no trade for a week?
Is better to have the good and the bad ones with different level of accuracy so that you could know what to do to hit a few more accurate trades. Having good and bad trades all together shouldn't be a issue if all the event is properly managed.
Finally, should the decision be to have only the good ones, maybe a good logging will indicate what to adjust to have more trades.
My system went live without testing back/forward. I can't afford to loose money therefore when I have a bug it is a profitable one!

Your right, I need to do more rigorous back testing, not saying the "weeds" were too bad only set up wrong I suppose, I'm all for good today, bad tomorrow and what could change in between, If I'm getting it right there's something wrong, lol, D
EDIT
Think I need to start using hidden stop losses, and not to tight too, D

Visible or hidden SL is only an implementation choice of a SL. I don't think that the broker hunts the SL ... imagine you have a 500 pips SL, joking.
The danger with a visible SL could be that the broker might match your trades easier once the SL is closer to the available price.
