It's a commercial thread...but all gone to charity. When shit is good...everybody smiles. When there is a market shift...nobody is thrilled. I get it! Thing is...from the original post, I really only offered a single EA and from that promise, one has been delivered - without time restrictions. My job here is - effectively - done. Really...in good conscience and a happy parting message, nobody should bitch, I could leave, but...well...the world is an ever changing place. Fuck... I get it. We're heading into the last quarter of the year and you aren't...
Hi magix sorry to hear about this, you don't deserve that shit !
Hope i don't offend you with what i am about to say but here goes - The Only positive thing i can think of about the stroller is i know you will replace it for your Granddaughter, and - i know you love kids because you do so much to help them here, so maybe some poor little kid who's got a crap life with thieving drugged up parents has gained a little ray of sunshine in there lives getting some fun out of the stroller, doesn't make it right but you hopefully get what im trying to say.

And your strategy is still let the trades start on Monday and let them tap out ?
Do you allow new level trades to be added to the existing trades after Monday ?

That's right, let them tap out.

If any of them haven't tapped out, I wait until they do. If any pairs have already, I remove the EA

I wonder how long these Yen pairs will keep trending up? They've been trending up for nearly 3 weeks now.

I'll keep watching, and holding, and wait for the EA's to do their thing.

The market is bidirectional and can't keep going in one direction forever, there has to be a correction at some point, plus all Yen pairs are in way overbought territory, but then again the MM know that retailers are holding shorts so they will keep pushing the price for as long as they can find buyers.

Inherent to the strategy is that you use Martingale or at least Summ Lot.
On your EJ chart that would have gotten you out of trouble and into profit.
Your DD on AJ would have been higher but you can handle the if the EJ would have tapped out.

Edit: But what goes up must come down.....

Using Summ Lot or Fixed Lot is always a debate between which option is better for long term sustainability of the account. If using Summ lot and a pair is trending strong it can add up very fast, and if you don't have enough margin your account will blow. Even $1000 per pair can get taken out fast, however using Fixed Lot the account will have a lower DD, but yes it will take longer to recover, but at least you will still have the account.

On my live account I switch between them and if I see things adding up fast I switch over to Fixed Lot to help calm things down, so far its working lol.

Summ Lot is definitely more profitable for sure and I like using it, but get caught on a trending pair/pairs and you will see how fast your margin runs out which is not what I'd call safe trading, like you said in #1359 its not a matter of if, but a matter of when, so I think the safer approach would be Fixed Lot instead of Summ Lot.

Another thing to consider if using Summ Lot to try help reduce exposure would be to trade on M5 instead of M1 and also expand the grid settings, set larger spacing and larger time delay, this can help to spread out the trades in a stronger trend. I'm testing with 300 time delay and 50 step, and so far its working well.

If you survived the DD, how did you make out on those E/A/J pairs ?

Every EA here is a counter trend EA.
Counter trend trading means that you expect that every trend has a (small) retrace sooner or later and you make sure you are out on that one asap.
If you go in #1=1 #2=1 #3=1 etc. you do expect a trend retrace to be around 50~60% depending on the dept your are in to eventually end up with a profit.
Retraces usually do not go that far, 10~20% max.... (depending on the pair).
So #1=1,#2=2,#3=3 make much more sense because that 10~20% is more than enough.

The proper way to trade this systems is to manage your investment and your drawdown.

Actually a few hrs later there was some Yen retracement/strength and good ol Hybrid v1.2 did its thing and recovered pretty nicely.

This is now.

EJ recovered over +2000 pips.

AJ recovered over +600 pips.

Patience is the name of the game in this biz.

Stochs2 account tripled today on day 100, and with minimal DD.

Not sure who is still using this EA, and its a pity it will expire this weekend as it is also one of my favorites.

Stochs isn't going away.

What I am working on...and this is where it takes a little more maneuvering...is that I want to have the Magix Triggering and the Stochs Triggering married to their most respective and highest performing closing logic(s) - auto-set closing, while still being able to have closing logic applied if the EA is only being used as a Trade Management System with a Manually Triggered first trade.

While still trying to keep it simple to understand for the End User.

AND

All this, while incorporating the ATR to restrict trading and for what I believe to be the best integration of Time Restricted Primary in the equations. Session trading, will most likely NOT function as well with Stochs, so will only be activated on the Magix_Scalping...but the ATR restriction should prove itself beneficial across the board.

THERE WILL be a release tomorrow.

I just have to complete the code...verify...and release.

On the following release, THERE WILL BE NO EXPIRY DATE.
