{quote} Hi Robot Trader Great stuff and your results sound impressive. Just to give some of our readers another approach to trading EA's, I don't give a stuff if a EA produces a a 10% return on a pair like EURUSD. It can only win 65% of the times too but this doesn't matter. It just needs to be robust to be able to be traded on many pairs at the same time. I harvest pips. That means I trade any where from 15 to 35 charts at the same time with one EA. If you consider each chart returns 10% to 15% return a year using the same shared equity, that gives...
I will share more on my own automation as it is quite similar to what you are doing but first, I would love to know more about how you test each EA? I did that by replicating the EA logic into scripts (everything I did was in building blocks to ease with my own testing automation) to dump results in it's own CSV files... quite painful but could not find any other way out.{quote}

So, here's my automation framework (kind of off-topic only to piss off my friend R4M a little more hehe)

For each long or short direction, device one setup for each of the following market conditions
Trend Initiation - this could be a simple EMA cross or a engulf candle or whatever. it does not matter what you use
Trend Continuation -this could be as simple as a EMA bounce or whatever. it does not matter what you use
Trend Continuation Confirmation - this could be as simple as a fast/slow bounce from #2 or whatever. it does not matter what you use
Trend Reversal - This could be as simple as a bounce of a pivot or fib or S/D level or whatever. it does not matter what you use
Trend Reversal Continuation - confirmation of #4 which whatever means possible. it does not matter what you use
Trend Reversal Continuation Confirmation - same as above. it does not matter what you use


The above set of conditions happen all day every day in every market. Either via breakouts or bounces. It captures the entire market. now we have 6 conditions and 2 directions.
pick long-only or short-only or both directions. It does not matter
Open 6 unique accounts for each market condition
pick ALL pairs of each country currency. All USD pairs, All CAD pairs etc etc. I tried this with 21 without CHF and with 28 pairs
Pick time frame confluence with the base ALWAYS on M1. Meaning, when the same above conditions happen on (say) H1, M30 AND M1 OR H4, M30, M15 AND M1 etc etc, enter the Trade. I had 32 different Timeframe combinations all triggering on M1 generating over 250+ signals on each M1 candle at any given time! i.e. brute force using a universal synchronized global clock at close of M1 timeframe!
Take each and every trade signal on each and every account as long as you have free, all the away up to 120% free margin leaving only about 20-40% room for positions to go into profit or loss
Margin drops, close one (or partial) profitable position at a time across all 6 accounts
Equity grows, keep on adding more positions.... each account should have more than 150-200 microlots to have a decent portfolio balance
During session open/close or news, capture profits rapidly, making margin available for new positions to open
have equity stops for profit and loss taking
have drawdown manager to limit drawdown via partial close of losing positions only across all 6 accounts
performance of one single account is irrelevant. It's the sum of the whole enchilada that matters
You should have atleast 2000 trades every week. By Friday, you should have atleast 500+% in one or two accounts. By Friday, you would have atleast one or two blown accounts. On some Fridays, you should have almost all accounts in profits. It is the Net of Account Balance vs Account Equity across 6 accounts that matters in the end. Manipulate open positions across 6 accounts to meet this goal and break the market maker's dick into 6 pieces one at the time or at once. After he bleeds, expect him to mess with your profitable accounts by disconnecting your EA from the terminal.... his last straw against us smart ass retail losers. This tells me, retail brokers who are counterparty to our trades will NEVER EVER let us win consistently and that is the reason why I lost trust in unregulated, no-name brokers available to US traders with hedging and non-FIFO capability.

1. Go to your Profile and Change your email address to something junk
2. Change your password to something long garbage 25+ characters or have your wife enter one for you lol
3. Go to every device and delete browser cache and cookies. Now you are truly in a READ-ONLY MODE. There are ways to completely block FF.com url but let's not get in that :-

That will force you to end your posting career on FF as you wont be able to do a password reset yourself unless you go begging to Twee.

As I have repeatedly said, I am a professionally trained expert in finding flaws and inconsistencies around me. Folks focus on seeing what is being shared and I focus on what is NOT being shared and I am very good at it. I am paid very handsomely compensated in the real world for doing things that many around me simply can't.

It's half a year midpoint and time to focus on what's important in my life. Posting is no longer an activity I wish to continue to kill my boredom.

Adios!
