Setup was too good not to enter.

Added additional $300 to my live account for better risk management.

Finally close a bunch of EURJPY short.
Gained 326 pips and average of 54 pips per trade.
This is manual trade so no big deal.

Triggered my2nd trade from my EA which is USDJPY long.

Close the trade manually.
No momentum in price.

Took a manual trade AUDUSD long as I think it's oversold.
Lets see...

EA unexpectedly opens a EURUSD short.
This is the 3rd trade on this account.
Seems like contradicting my AUDUSD long.
Anyway let's see how it goes.

Well, looks like i'm more correct than my EA.
Got stop out for bot EURUSD and GBPUSD short which was triggered by EA.
TP for AUDUSD.

Manually short EURGBP again, 2nd time this week.
Hope this time round will gain back some pips.

Took a quick profit 30 pips from EURJPY short.

Open AUDUSD long.

Still waiting for my EURGBP price to move. Historically, this pair is slow like turtle.

Close 1st full week trading with amazing results.

  1. 15.8% return
  2. 565 pips
  3. 20 wins, 5 lose

Although most trades are manual, this is expected because EAs will only triggers when there is a clear trend.
Currently we are sideways. Probable we can see a clear trend in 4 weeks time.

just a thought:
if you base ( and that was the feeling from post#1) your expectations on the becktest of EA over 18 years, then hence go forward trading where 90% of the trades placed arent trades that the EA places...
just how that backtest would relate to the forward results?
in my opinion in no way.

great manual trading results, congrats, but it is a very long shot from the opening post.
should you try to keep some integrity, could have 2 accounts, where one is for the EA and a separate one for manual trading. that way it could be a forward test in true fashion.

happy weekend!
there is always, always another trade!!

Thanks for your feedback and suggestions.

Understand that it is difficult to view EA performance from the trade explorer. There are 2 reason to mix with manual trading at the moment.

 

  1. As some might aware, I'm on Zulu so I need to pump up my rankings and to account for to my 2 colleagues whom are following me at the moment.
  2. Currently I have only managed to optimised 6 pairs out of 21 pairs which is my target to run this EA fully optimise for profit and to distribute risk. Target to finish this before end of year which i will also be funding additional 15k.

Although this is a live account, it is just the beginning. I'm looking at the entrance of every trade activated by my EA to ensure it's right on track for full swing end of the year.

Took profit on both EURGPB short and EURJPY short for 30 pips each.
These are manual trades.
No trades by EA at the moment.

Currently left with USDJPY long position and AUDUSD short position.
Both positions taken using averaging as I believe USD weakening is a knee jerk due to Trump comment.
He does not have any influence in FOMC decision.
Waiting for news later for Existing Home Sales.
Expect it to be better than forecast or at least let people focus on the improvement in US economy.

Close all AUDUSD short as the drop seems to slow down and also to minimise risk.
Took almost 100 pips from the trades.

I'm wrong about the home sales. Worst than expected but surprisingly, USDJPY tank.
More reason to hold on to the long.

Close quite a number of GBPUSD shorts and USDJPY longs.
Been holding them for some time.

Open AUDJPY long manually. Quite confident on this one.

Past few days EA hasn't been doing well due to choppy conditions.
Close a couple manually after EA opens to avoid lost.

Bro,

do NOT mix the automated trades with manual trades.

That is a beginner's mistake.

Stay safe,
