My Real Live/Life trading account Story 1999-present exposed

hi Cliff,

on the test, "commission" shows up as 0$ for the 159lot.
if it is, what spread was the test run on?

Hi, I did not notice that, thanks for pointing that out. I need to fix that. I believe spread was set to 3, but now I did re search and for oanda 5 digit I should use 30 spread.

curious how it looks after re-running it.

Sept 6-13 AUDCAD 3 pos. closed along with NZDCAD-Sept 6-14. I still have AUDCHF, NZDCHF still open. I have stopped trading on other pairs to save draw down and Margin to get out of these two pairs. I expect AUDCHF another leg down to 1.6800 if market sees the Monetary Policy statement ad Aussie neg. I will then put order there 1.6800 area. If I am lucky AUDCHF goes up from here then I will close positions at average price. Same for NZDCHF. This also my 1 year trading history of profits.

week of Sept 23 -29 update: The AUDCHF, NZDCHF from Aug 30th. finally closed +pips + swap for longs. I turned off EA for both which was a misstake, EA would have done better then what I did, which was adding the cost averaging trades manually.
2 exciting updates: 1) I finished my 12 month goal(12%) + 16%
2) Got my 1st investor on Sept 21 2018 of $280. I am concerned that this person did not read my recommendations for capitol. I do not know what risk parameters they used when signed up to take my signals, hopefully it will work out. [attach]Screenshot3.png;3013461

Sept 30- Oct 5. New basket of trades dragging on Equity, AUDCAD, NZDCAD, EURCAD. I have too much opened positions, so I closed the 1st trades on all three cad pairs (-%1.8) to free up Margin, Total top DD was %14.5. Negative swap is also killing me. I may just turn EA to sell/buy depending on swap differentials to benefit me. I realize I cannot have to many same denominator pairs on 1 minute charts. I must change time frames on each same based currency to lessen the risk of over leveraging/risk to account. I also considering to change lot size increases to 0.02 or less. Home work: 1)Test base currency's and change to appropriate time frame. 2) Find positive swap pairs and change EA buy/sell. 3) Find negative correlating pairs to match and combine with same magic number to help basket close. https://www.myfxbook.com/members/PippinUSA/cliff-v-my-718/2364203

Oct 7-14, EURCAD- this pair moved faster in favor of positive equity, so I tweaked EA to take more profit to make up for %2 loss. I also did my homwwork and will lessen the load of pairs by changing time frame. This will reduce the open positions and possibly better entries on larger TF. Had nice chat with FF Profit Farmer, as we trade in very similar fashion. He reminded me of the extra risk taking on short TF, and suggested to raise/lower OB,OS on indicator. Whch is another way to reduce risk and over exposure. I also will only short EURCAD for positive interest. I also reduced cost averaging on all pairs except my bread and butter AUDCAD and NZDCAD. I realize this will significantly reduce my profit by 1/3- 1/2. But will keep the stress level down along with Draw down. I need to also start swing trading for more diversification, and since I have reduced risk I may be in position to discretionary swing trade.
NZDCAD- 1 posistion closed as I had %14 DD, I was mentally feared as I relized I have too many CAD pairs opened and I wanted too slowly reduce positions to protect equity and margin.
AUDCAD-SAME as NZDCAD.

Want to know the reason why indicators and Expert advisors don’t work? Because they are calculating past data. There is always a lag to take into account when these indicators flashes your “execute” signals.


I trade off pure price action. Pure structure. I use key levels to execute my positions.

Oct 14-20 Continuing on my home work with testing time frames etc.. I am having some new functions added to my code. It will reduce EA from taking orders on candles that are not in reason for signal. SO if signal Long then EA checks candle, when candle bullish then order executes. Currently Indicator executes on any candle. Also adding some rules to my Grid filter that will reduce orders,. Same rule when EA is in cost avg mode EA will check candle before placing order.
Earlier in month I was down -2%. We are back to +1% close to end month, On track for my goal on 1% avg per month. No charts to show any problems for this week.

Hi, What is your myfxbook.com handle or TE. I would love to add you on watch list? https://www.myfxbook.com/members/PippinUSA/cliff-v-my-718/2364203

Oct 28- Nov-2
My bread/butter pairs in small cost averaging trade, but other pairs helped out pitching in filling in profit gap. Was in draw down %14 early in month, then bye end of the month that draw down turned into %1.38 profit on account for the month. I took a GBPUSD swing trade, I was 100 pips early but still looks promising, If it goes back down 100-1000 pips I will buy more for long term swing. Still waiting for my added features to my EA. I am getting very excited, looking forward for some testing. The new features, will add some functions like TOTAL Trades allowed per MAGridFilterOption 1&2. Filter 1 is a high risk High return function, total trades will limit DD, and filter 2 is more of a recovery function cost averaging bad trades. I notice in the retail investor world people are willing to risk all their deposit for short term High net returns. Something I strongly disagree with, but for me to look attractive to these smaller investors in retail world , I am contemplating creating a High Risk/High return account to create income from investors using my signal service. https://www.myfxbook.com/members/PippinUSA/cliff-v-my-718/2364203
