Diversified Trend Trading Approach

Does anyone know of a service or broker that connects MT4 via DMA to US stock market? (Not CFDs and not via US based brokers) I want to try my strategies without FIFO restriction but via centralized stock exchange (US or FTSE or any legit centralized exchanges). Even Demo is fine

{quote} Morning Mr B :-) This market throws cryptic puzzles at you mate....and to crack them you need to use cryptic logic. That's why I like CP's style in posing cryptic crosswords at his audience as it requires you to mentally stretch. There is no right or wrong....but you need to dig a bit to possibly see what is more right than right or more wrong than wrong. That way your right and wrong has an edge to another's right and wrong....*snigger*. Just watch out for those on this forum that according to Wolfgang Pauli....are Not Even Wrong. Those...

Both were on steroids since 5/1 individually. but when combined this week, it is making me drop my jaw with it's profit-taking triggering "rapidness" which I have never experienced.... and that too without any news release. I find a bit odd for a divergent to create so much steep curve during both london and usa holiday. Perhaps I need to listen to Mr. C and bring my aggressiveness down a notch (or two). {image} {image} {image}...

{quote} Yep mate. The blend creates so much juice that you will need to tone it down....but there again it is pretty rare to find the available juice to tame....but it exists in the divergent space with a few very simple bells and whistles applied :-)

{quote} Frankly, I just don't know how to tone it down during equity explosions apart from running in idle state which also contineously takes small(er) profits off the table by design. With that said, I think this type of strategy will address a vulnerability in divergent strategy..... A quick shoot up and a quick shoot down erratic price behavior. Need more proof but I am tired of test and waiting so going to get going in live and see what happens. Not sure if this is also your observation..... short-only divergent strategies go ballistic when...

{quote} Mate....under a portfolio the question is not how much....but rather what do you want. The scaling of position sizing occurs at the portfolio level not the strategy level. We can always dial down our greed and get stunning risk metrics.....and if we operate for clients....then this is inevitable. You need to sacrifice your full CAGR potential to balance your risk appetite as this s***t works. There is no lucky streak in this diversified land.

{quote} I will be straight forward. no insult. what is below, scares me too much a straight forward bullish equity curve w/o a correction pf 35.32 !? winners 85% and finally gain% >= n times DD% n = positive integer >= 2 not saying that what you have done is wrong or a cheat but it more sounds to me like too good to be true. you might be very talented or fecking too much lucky but at the end good results so far if that can be continued (y)

Time to call it quits. Enjoy everyone and thanks for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this thread. I will delete some of my screenshot and call it a decade or two (or maybe I will show up here tomorrow morning lol) Keep up the good work C.
