02) Advice on your Windows computer. (Part 1)

I've seen hundreds of private and business computers
of as many people. 100% of the monitors looked like this:
(naturally with different icons and desktop backgrounds)



My Desktop looks like this (right now):


What is the difference?
The taskbar. There is not.
That is, there is, but it is displayed quickly when needed.
Are you wondering why? For what purpose?
Because that way you can totally use the screen size.
The bar you see at the bottom of the monitor "steals" almost 1 inch.
Without this bar, all the programs you view in full screen
they will be bigger. You will see more information and visualize it better.
IF, you view programs in full screen, topic of the next post.

So if you want to make the most of your computer, try following
this simple information:

1) click with the right mouse on the bar
2) click with the left mouse on "Taskbar Settings"
3) activate the option "automatically hide the taskbar"
3) close Settings

Now you can fully use the full size of your monitor.
And when you want to use your beloved taskbar, that's enough
move the mouse down the screen.

Summary after about 5 weeks from the start of the tests (7 days on a REAL funded micro-account):

The setup continues to prove solid.
It allows to obtain great and, consequently, bad results.

If you work with normal good practices, such as going in the direction of the trend, during the right times,
the result is almost guaranteed. Honestly, all a bit boring and monotonous.
With 1:500, investing 5% of the deposit, you get it in seconds 0.5-1% positive or negative, without effort.

I also continue to test revenue, with additional and "alternative" solutions, for a possible increase in opportunities,
verifying them, each one, at least 2 or 3 times in order to exclude randomness.
Inputs in: counter-trend, on the "figures" of the typical chart: double-triple top or bottom,
head and shoulders, progressive scale, trend line, S/R and more.
Some are more positive, some less.

This week I have integrated some Value Meters, but only on Currencies with 100% correct result and
the Fibonacci tracing, which turned out to be a real positive surprise.
In the next few days, I will check the price levels, which in theory, could not be done,
since these charts are "synthetic" ie built on the basis of 7 pairs, so the relative value does not make sense.
But I saw a certain relevance in the movement of the chart, right on these levels.
Also, I want to check the movement of the chart, with respect to levels calculated based on the %.
Still work in progress.

Why this craze for levels?
In my first months as a Trader, I kept having two questions in my head: "Why did the price go back at that point?" and
"But why does the price keep touching that level and go back?"
From that moment my research on "levels" started. I have tested hundreds of indicators for sure,
until you find those two-three that correctly reported the right levels. And the price movement, as if by magic,
began to have some justification.

Let's move on to the results instead.
Negative Friday. I put all the previous day's income into play, following two distinct cases:
a continuation in strong trend, already started several hours ago e
a against trend, decided on the basis of a high weakness of a Currency.
Both turned out to be a bad choice and hence the loss result.

I see the situation, like the glass half full.
After having that problem on Monday, recovery turned out to be doable.
My philosophy is that if you can lose 100%, you can also earn the same %.

So, despite yesterday's bad result, I "returned" to the value of May 11th.
Next week we will see.

Results from May 06 (start) to May 07 (pre loss) two days = +213.6 pips and +3.94%
Result of May 10, one day = -33.24%
Results from May 06 (start) to May 10 (1° post loss) three days = -1169.2 pips and -30.61%
Results from May 11 (1° post loss) to May 13 (2° pre loss) three days = +645.2 pips and +17.33%
Result of May 14, one day = -380.0 pips and -13.02%

Results from May 06 (start) to May 14 (2° loss) 7 days = -904.0 pips and -30.7%




The publication of all the material is expected, for 30-31 May 2021.
You must all be happy. I save you time and (maybe) money, in these long days of waiting.

The previous post, I had written 10 hours ago (Offline).
I started level testing right after.

Nothing special, if they were the results obtained on a normal chart (FX, indices, CFD), however, being a "synthetic" chart, they take on a decidedly different value.

First of all, they confirm that price movements ARE NOT RANDOM.
Second, those who move the market have very clear objectives.

I still want to remind everyone, that this is a chart made up of 7 different major pairs, which make up the currency.
Not a single couple. AND THE CHART IS NOT TIME-RELATED.
The price moves in one direction or the other if "someone" wants the weaker or stronger CURRENCY.

02) Advice on your Windows computer. (Part 2)

As for part 1.
I've seen too many times, people use Windows in a suboptimal way.
Especially in the private sphere. Also here in FF have been published
often images of an MT4 opened and used in a "minimal" window.

Whatever monitor size you have, open any program in Fullscreen mode.
Isn't it better to see more and better?

02) Safe management of your trading. (Part 3)

A Trader realizes the importance of these rules, only after experiencing an emergency.
Then AFTER we run for cover "closing the barn door after the oxen have escaped".

Believe me, however lucky you may be, sooner or later it will happen that, at a critical moment of your Trading:
- the electricity is cut off or
- that your usual computer has problems, to make it unusable (perhaps the fateful "blue window?) or
- that your "trusted" Internet connection is cut off.

In nearly 10 years of daily trading, for several hours a day, I can assure you that one
I have dealt with these problems several times. Too many times for my taste.

So, little or a lot of money you have at stake and whether you want to be a Trading Hobbyist or a Professional,
a number of protective measures are to be taken into serious consideration.

Without going into a thousand details or extreme cases, I'll just tell you how I faced these problems.
- I have two computers (really I also use a tablet)
- I have two cell phones
- I have three internet connections
- I'm not afraid of an eelectric blackout, because everything is powered under battery.

I am exaggerated?
Of course it is not necessary to get to this point, but to have:
- a computer protected by an Uninterruptible Power Supply (or a notebook)
- a mobile phone with MT4 Mobile installed and CONFIGURED
- two Internet lines (at least one of the two on sim)
they are really minimum conditions to face Trading (but also any job on the Internet) with safety and tranquility.

In one of the next "chapters", I will also talk about this.
I anticipate it now, for future reference and for an easy confirmation, with post n° 23

Good start to the week everyone.

Another 20 hours of testing on Saturday and Sunday.
I was able to figure out how to create linear spacing on the graph, at tot pips.
During this time I use 10 pips bars and the levels are every 100 pips.

I turned on the computer, 2 hours before the London opening, and started drawing the levels.
Honestly, my intention was to use the Fibonacci ones, but for a mistake instead,
I created the ones at % (step 10).
I only realized this after setting everything up and decided to try it.

Then I moved on to prepare two more MT4 on the smaller monitor, which I placed under the large one.
It was something I had wanted to do for over a week.
The two additional MT4 contain only EA (one or more) plus indicators for checking the results,
being two distinct and different accounts from the first.

This approach has multiple advantages:
- it is possible to manually duplicate operations
- alternate the inputs, according to the importance or "safety of the signal"
- share the risk
and other possible managements, which, according to personal style and experience, come to mind.
Only one flaw: it initially requires greater concentration. Stop.

Myself, after finishing the preparation (one-off), I immediately doubted be able to manage it all.
For more than half an hour I kept repeating myself: "No ... it's too complicated. I don't think I can."
Instead at the second set setup, it has become very simple and natural.
It is not only doable, but also easy. It was just the "fear" of a new thing to experience.
If anyone decides to face this experience, with an open and positive mentality,
he will soon find himself managing something remarkable.

This post is a first hint, a friendly advice, for an optimal path.
The steps need to be gradual to get the most confidence possible, just like I did:
- start with just one EA and 8 charts (one per Currency) and you start evaluating this "Configuration".
In this way the different Currencies are studied (behavior, range, speed, response to levels, etc.).
- After a couple of weeks, you select the 4 that are most suitable for yourself.
There is the Trader who works only with NZD pairs, the one who prefers a slow and with movement
low range, the one who prefers a wide range and quick moves, those who only work with the $ and so on.
- Once the 4 Currencies have been selected, the Trader will also have discovered if
he usually opens only one set at a time (forced to do so for a low capitalization issue or for minimal risk management)
and then he will continue to use only one EA.
If, on the other hand, you have found yourself opening and managing multiple sets, the use of more EA
becomes a necessity, but also an enviable convenience.
- The next step is to switch (if you have the option) to use multiple monitors, like I did today.

All these levels of use and experience, of course, are neither necessary nor required.
It is always possible to use only one EA, with only one chart, for only one Currency.
And I'm 100% sure, that will be the path most people will follow.

But how can I best explain the advantages of a complete "Configuration"?
Let's see it like this:
- instead of spending hours looking for a chance to enter
- maybe make a mistake and suffer a loss
- then close the day by postponing to tomorrow.
With this method (in the same time that has elapsed) you get an incredible number of opportunities
and any losses are easily manageable even in the day.

Ok. That may be enough for today. Let's move on to today's results.

Usual REAL account (self-limited results):
1st positive day after loss:
0,41 lots invested and divided into 6 total Sets, opened in several phases.
Total accumulated pips = +108.3
Max DD = -0.20%
Account gain = closed after recovery, at +3.00%

On the other two accounts (self-limited results):
+25.1 pips e
+87.1 pips
Total pips for today = 220.5


Today I managed, with this method, up to 7 sets at the same time, on multiple accounts and monitors
and all with a unique Magic Number, for different needs:
different inputs, different amounts, corrections and/or additions, all with a discrete single management facility
(possible individual closure of the set). On each set, I had the single P/L ratio for a correct Trading evaluation.
I wonder and ask: "What more could you want?" Un Crodino?



Today's working setup

Hi Trader-IT,

Your system is getting to start very interesting, Please keep going your daly update.

Today I tested the Fibonacci levels and not the % ones.
Personally I feel better with the %, but to each his own.
You will have to try to choose the best one for you.

The first two closures on the "official" account were normal.
The first after 5 minutes on the Market, gave me a +0.77%. The second brought the total result to +1.15%.
With the third, I wanted to try to hold the position. Since, regularly, I could take at least 2 to 5 times, the result obtained.
And here my despair began.
Hours passed from a positive to a negative position. At least twenty times.
At least three times I have exceeded the percentage point, and then get up to 8% relative DD.
Fuck it. It does not make sense. This is the old way of running a Basket. It's not for me. It is not the future.
Why do I have to wait days/weeks to make 3000 pips, when in a week I can do double it, closing every day flat.
Today alone, I would have made more than 15% working on each well-declared fluctuation,
instead of constantly mediating, stressing and taking risks. The alternative would have been to close in negative,
with all the previous gain burned and the remainder to be recovered. No we are not there.

Okay .... so I take advantage and talk about the TP and SL.
Yes ... Yes .... you could not wait for these points so important to you to be touched.
I think you will be deeply disappointed.

Since the first operation, I have set the SL/TP to 50 pips. I wanted 100, but then I preferred to "moderate".
Calculate that, only last year and because I was forced by some rules, I introduced them in my Trading.
I spend the day in front of the monitors and I don't see what they are for.
Save my ass?
In extreme and dramatic cases, no SL can save you. And this is an established fact.
But let's go further. For everyone's sake, I have included them in this "Configuration".
Why so large?

You have to understand the Basket method.
You can easily find yourself closing one or more sets, with many losing operations, but with a positive economic total.
The result (whatever it is) is the overall result of several operations, which interact with each other.

- If one or more pairs are missing from the set, because they closed in positive or negative, the balance is in crisis.
- Forget about closing positive trades and running losing ones. Or to then add sets to fix the situation.
- Forget about a trailing stop for the same reason.
- Forget a tight stop loss, because you don't know what you're talking about. Try setting 5 pips SL on EURUSD and 5 pips SL on GBPJPY and learn.
- Forget the amazing R:R 1:20 type (as I read a few months ago here on FF). With this method you can say goodbye to even a simple 1:1.
- Forget also, just to close the discussion, to be able to automate this method (with an EA). You have to work in manual mode and keep everything under control.

Why am I so bad? Because I don't want to waste your time and money.
All that I have written, are guarantees for a loss or, if you are lucky, for reduced gains.
A yes .... you better leave your beloved Broker too who takes 3 pips of spread and 10$ of commission (together). You can do little or nothing about it.

More than half of what I wrote, I tried it for the umpteenth time today.
The two accounts you see on the small monitor, have the worst performance. The one on the right can't wait to burn it.
Does a set on GBP cost over 10 pips spread and €10 per lot in commission? A madness. I have less than half with other Brokers.
Half the cost means double the profit.

Returning to the SL.
Out of several hundred single trades, with the SL set at 50 pips, only 6 hit the SL.
With the two small monitor bills, I wanted/had to reduce the SL to 25 pips. Well, every single day I find myself with more than 10 operations affected by SL.
More than 10 out of 20-30 operations is no small thing.
Leaks that need to be made up and ruined sets that need to be patched up for any chance of success.
Do you want a 2-5 pips SL? Best wishes.
Instead my methods of closing and managing the operations, will be discussed in another post.

So I mowed right away, another number of rookies who keep dreaming.
Damn .... years of experience and thousands of hours spitting blood, are they still worth anything? Or not?

Let's go further. Today's results:
Usual REAL account (self-limited results):
2st positive day after loss:
0,56 lots invested and divided into 8 total Sets, opened in several phases.
Total accumulated pips = +128.1
Max DD = -0.66%
Account gain = closed after recovery, at +3.41%

On the other two accounts (self-limited results):
+197.6 pips e
-7.4 pips
Total pips for today = 318.3

Hi Trader-It,


in short, the key points are: patience and even more the right balance
Will wait for the next post ...

Hi Marcolc.
Italian translation at the bottom.

Patience is what escaped me today and then I vent here, as many do. Then everything passes and you are ready to face everything again. Again.
No, however, the only patience with this method is to take it easy and practice step by step, level by level. And the results will come much sooner than you can imagine.
I have seen countless times on this Forum and on others, people throwing themselves headlong into even a complex system and after two minutes, shooting in bursts of questions asked and repeated hundreds of times and which, hundreds of times, had been answered. Even just two posts before.
Don't read the instructions and try "just to go" and then: "I can't get it to work ... help me?" or "This indicator does not work" or worse than worst "This system does not work ... I lost a lot of money. Stay away", it is of no use to anyone. Threads with over 50,000 posts (and I have read several) with over 30-45% of useless and repeated posts, ruin only those few who really want to study and work to improve themselves.

I just and absolutely want to prevent all this from happening here too.
And if I have to be obnoxious and rude to do that, you know what I'm telling you ... I don't give a damn.

As for balance, being an exclusively manual method, discretion is everything. But experience makes the difference.
Today, for the second time in 15 days, I was ready to stake even 50% of the bill. When you have experience, you know when to push and when to give up. I started with 1 set and finished with 6 (42 single trades) in one trade. In the past I have also dealt with 13 sets in one trade (91 single trades).
And believe me, the acceleration that equity has with such a number of trades has no comparison with the same value in a single trade.
Let me explain: 100 trades of 0.01 opened at different times and at different price levels, are faster than a single trade from a single lot.
Today I saved a video file of the equity on tick. You should see how many seconds it took, to move 8%.
I wrote seconds.
At that time I was not yet at the maximum level, but the total% of the deposit used was about 20%.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ciao Marcolc.
Pazienza è quella che mi è scappata oggi e poi mi sfogo qui, come fanno in tanti.
Poi passa tutto e sei di nuovo pronto per affrontare di tutto. Di nuovo.

No, comunque l'unica pazienza con questo metodo, è quella di prendere con calma l'apprendimento e praticare passo dopo passo, livello dopo livello.
E i risultati arriveranno molto prima di quello che si possa immaginare.

Ho visto infinite volte su questo Forum e su altri, persone buttarsi a capofitto su un sistema anche complesso e dopo due minuti,
sparare a raffica domande chieste e ripetute centinaia di volte e a cui, centinaia di volte, era stata data risposta. Amche solo due post prima.
Non leggere le istruzioni e provare "tanto per fare" e poi: "Non riesco a farlo funzionare... mi aiuti?" oppure "Questo indicatore non funziona" o
peggio del peggio "Questo sistema non funziona... ho perso un sacco di soldi. State lontani", non serve a niente e a nessuno.
Threads con oltre 50000 post (e ne ho letti diversi) con oltre il 30-45% di post inutili e ripetuti, rovinano solo quei pochi che hanno veramente
voglia di studiare e lavorare per migliorarsi.

Voglio solo e assolutamente, evitare che tutto questo accada anche qui.
E se per farlo devo risultare antipatico e scortese, sai cosa ti dico... non me ne frega niente.

Per quanto riguarda l'equilibrio, essendo un metodo esclusivamente manuale, la discrezionalità è tutto.
L'esperienza però fa la differenza.
Oggi, per la seconda volta in 15 giorni, ero pronto a mettere in gioco anche il 50% del conto. Quando hai esperienza,
riesci a capire quando insistere e quando mollare. Sono partito con 1 set e ho finito con 6 (42 commerci singoli) in una operazione.
In passato ho affrontato anche 13 set in una operazione (91 commerci singoli).

E credimi, l'accelerazione che ha l'equity con un numero tale di commerci, non ha paragone con lo stesso valore in unico commercio.
Mi spiego meglio: 100 commerci da 0.01 aperti in diversi momenti e a diversi livelli di prezzo, sono più veloci di un'unico commercio da un lotto singolo.

Oggi ho salvato un file video dell'equity su tick. Dovresti vedere quanti secondi ha impiegato, per muoversi di un 8%.
Ho scritto secondi.
In quel momento non ero ancora al livello massimo, ma la % totale del deposito impiegata, è stata di circa il 20%.

So many things today.

I woke up from too strange a dream.
When I have a strange feeling, I have to be careful at work.
I've learned to trust my instincts.
So I approached the day fairly neutral.
No operations on my private accounts. On the "official" account instead,
a timid operation from a set in the morning, immediately closed because I was not convinced enough.

And see the power of Basket.
Negative pips and positive profit. You don't believe it, do you?



Then another operation in the early afternoon of two sets, always limited and also closed in a short time.
I think I have reached a +0.33% total, more or less.

Noting that it was actually not a good day,
I threw orders at random on the other two accounts, hoping it was finally the right day
to get them out of the way, but I kept earning. And not a little.
In the end, I uploaded everything I could and didn't care about the result.
Total? One account finally closed and the other in negative with still some open operations.
Hopefully, I'll kill him tomorrow and don't think about it anymore.

In the meantime I have worked a lot. Made minor cosmetic changes to the different EAs and
standardized all versions on the different MT4 of my various accounts.
I had come to have one modification here and the other there.
It was starting to be a problem. We are now at version 8.

Then I took courage and started preparing the guide to illustrate how to prepare an MT4 for Basic configuration,
the one I recommend to get started: "An EA panel and 8 Charts".
For the twentieth time I started from scratch and, step by step, I prepared the supporting images for the explanation.
The final result? From this:


to this:


During this preparation, in the afternoon I see the wild (and unfounded) movement of the YEN out of the corner of my eye,
that in a few minutes he moved with insane speed and intensity. When this is the case, a determined trace is at the door.
The time to widen the chart and draw a line on the first major support closest and the price was already there.
I walked in without thinking twice with a set, and was ready to continue on to the lower levels if necessary.


It wasn't necessary. It immediately bounced and I closed after a few bars in total safety, getting another 1%.
It was too dangerous to let it go on, but if I did, I would have gotten between 3 and 7% more.
A great Trader here on FF often wrote: "Earn and repent". Nothing wiser.
Trading day finished.

Today's results:
Usual REAL account (self-limited results):
3st positive day after loss:
0,28 lots invested and divided into 4 total Sets, opened in several phases.
Total accumulated pips = +38.6
Max DD = -1.35%
Account gain = +1.34%


On the other two accounts:
1 closed account e
the other ... hopefully soon
Total pips for today = +38.6

PS:
Just a note:
Both yesterday and today, all operations were closed with a gain. I have not suffered any losses.
The DD detected, depends on some single operations within the sets.
If there are losing trades (and there are always in my way of managing sets)
when I make the total closure of the single or multiple set,
this takes place operation after operation, creating the classic "equity chart with steps"


But the real result is:
1st operation from a set, positive
2nd two-set operation, positive
3rd operation from a set, positive
for a total of 28 single trades.

There is a new problem every day.
I would like to make you smile for a few seconds, but it's a triller novel
(even if told with a bit of sarcasm and irony) e
machine translation wouldn't do the story justice.
Also, I would bore most people.
But I still want to leave this experience of mine to posterity.
After the results of the day, you will find the full text in Italian.
I hope that at least one of my compatriots will find this "tragedy" useful.

Today's results:
Usual REAL account (self-limited results):
4st positive day after loss:
2.09 lots invested and divided into 30 total Sets, opened in several phases (My personal record).
Total accumulated pips = +23.4
Max DD = -4.79%
Account gain = +0.16%

Still tomorrow, for the latest weekly update, then I'll take a few days
to recover some tranquility and rest.



Ieri (Mercoledì) mi sono svegliato alle 7 e sono andato a dormire oggi alle 4 (solo 21 ore di computer)
Svegliato alle 9, dopo solo 5 ore di sonno, esco per delle commissioni che non potevo più rimandare.
Quando rientro alle 11 circa, decido di mettere un attimo in pausa il Trading, per revisionare tutto il mio sistema.
Uso un indicatore abbastanza importante, nella sua versione 6. Ricordavo che il Coder era arrivato alla 8.
Allora inizio con l'aprire una delle mie MT4, che uso per test e prove (dove c'è di tutto e di più, in particolare spazzatura).
Apro anche il Browser dove ho di sicuro, nei miei Preferiti, l'indirizzo del filo dove avevo inizialmente trovato
questo file, ma tra le diverse migliaia che ho, non riesco a trovarlo.
Allora effettuo una ricerca su FF, trovo il tutto e scarico le ultime due versioni.
Installate in parallelo su tre charts per paragonarle, scopro che l'ultima è peggiore della prima.
Proprio non funziona. Ha dei problemi.
Questo è uno dei motivi per cui voglio pubblicare solo una versione perfetta e definitiva dei "miei" prodotti.
Non faccio lo scansafatiche e lascio ad altri il problema di trovare e magari risolvere, le cose.

Comunque, prima di chiudere la piattaforma, apro un profilo che uso come "ultima prova" e vedo un file che tenevo
sott'occhio da un po' e che volevo testare da parecchio tempo. Sarebbe perfetto con la Configurazione in uso attualmente
(se corretto e adattato), allora prendo la palla al balzo e mi metto a modificarlo, in modo da verificare se, effettivamente,
è di qualche utilità. Fantastico... su un grafico normale funziona come un fascino, quindi lo installo sulla Piattaforma dove
ho la "configurazione" e.... mi impalla quasi il Computer.

Bisogna calcolare che, 8 grafici sintetici, che costituiscono il set totale di Valute, richiedono (da soli)
un'elaborazione pesante per il Computer, perché contemporaneamente, calcola i dati di ben 28 coppie singole.
A cui si aggiungono tutti gli altri indicatori (Renko per primo che è già pesante di suo), EA e c.
Questo indicatore che avevo già preventivamente "alleggerito", moltiplica per 3 tutto quanto.
Ora, il mio Computer (ma forse qualsiasi Computer anche vecchio) non avrebbe dei particolari problemi.
Ho verificato che l'impiego della Ram è di 104 MB e quello delle CPU è circa del 13%. Niente di particolare.
Il problema è il raffreddamento. Le ventole sono costantemente sollecitate per tenere la temperatura sotto controllo sui 59-60 gradi.
Ma ogni 1-3 secondi, la temperatura arriva oltre i 90 di gradi e non voglio buttare via un Notebook da quasi 3000€, tenendo questa
situazione anche per 10 ore al giorno. E allora niente... 2 ore buttate nel cesso.

Intanto si sono fatte le 16 passate e la mia voglia di fare Trading è volata via. Cosa faccio... mi arrendo per oggi?
Noooo, per niente e da Uomo duro, inizio.
Prima operazione? Un tranello del Mercato per mangiare un po' di SL. Quando mi convinco della cosa, chiudo con una perdita
del 3% circa e inverto all'istante la direzione. Senza ruscire a coprire la perdita (sono andato in guadagno anche di oltre il 2%),
di nuovo il prezzo si inverte. Ora le soluzioni sono due: o chiudi di nuovo in perdita e fai lo jo-jo su e giù sperando di
recuperare in qualche modo, o fai un'analisi più approfondita della situazione e valuti quale sia la direzione che ti può
permettere di andare in guadagno. Per mia fortuna era quella in cui mi trovavo adesso e allora inizio a mediare il prezzo per
riuscire, anche con un piccolo rintracciamento, a chiudere in positivo anche se di poco (dopo il recupero della perdita).
Così sono arrivato ad avere 6 set in gioco, con l'equity che oscilla in positivo e in negativo, senza darmi quello che desidero.

Oltre un'ora dopo, finalmente il prezzo si muove abbastanza da darmi la copertura di quel 3% negativo che avevo, più un 1% e oltre.
Ero l'Uomo più felice di questo Mondo. Attivo all'istante la mia solita chiusura, quella che uso quando ho un elevato numero di operazioni
aperte e guardando il saldo, vedo un +1,9%.
Fantastico... alla grande.... ma...... aspetta......c'è qualcosa che non va..... ci sono ancora delle operazioni aperte? Cosaaaa? -7% sul saldo aperto?

Controllo e trovo ancora almeno una dozzina di trade aperti nella direzione giusta e 7 in quella opposta.
Ma come? Ma perché? Non ho fatto niente di diverso dal solito. Tutto, anche se modificato, è come ieri.

E qui partono quelle io chiamo MM "Masturbazioni Mentali". Ho sfiorato per caso il tasto per invertire gli ordini? No... non funziona così.
Allora è il Broker che mi rema contro. No... figurati, spero proprio di no. Ho usato un numero di Numeri magici elevato o con un
numero troppo grande (ho usato anche per esempio 222222). Ma no figurati, ho visto numeri anche più grandi, usati in passato.
Quindi penso che rimanga solo la possibilità di una possibile incompatibilità tra questi numeri, l'EA e la mia chiusura.

Intanto durante questi interminabili secondi, che sembrano sul momento ore, provo a cambiare profilo e a rientrare.
A uscire proprio dalla MT4 e riattivarla (due cose che ti rendono cieco anche se per poco, su quello che sta succedendo).
Bohhh. Riproviamo. Intanto l'equity oscilla velocemente tra 0 e -10%. Chiudo tutte le operazioni che mi sono ritrovato opposte e
tutte le operazioni in profitto. Arrivo a un +3% sul saldo. Ma se hai letto un mio post precedente, sai che questo metodo richiede che
tutte le operazioni in gioco siano presenti, per avere buone possibilità di successo. Già con l'iniziale chiusura parziale,
avevo fortemente incrinato la situazione. Chiudendo ancora quelle positive, mi sono ritrovato sbilanciato in maniera decisa.

Cosa faccio? chiudo in perdita e archivio come sfigata questa giornata, o provo a sfruttare tutte le mie abilità per tentare di salvare la situazione?
Decido di rischiare e di mettermi in gioco. Ero abbastanza convinto di riuscire a mediare il prezzo. Stabilisco i prossimi 4 punti dove entrare
con set aggiuntivi e, in finale, spero di avere ragione. Intanto vedo che il mio +3% acquisito, è ora diventato un +0.40%. Perfetto... sono scattati
alcuni SL, così... tanto per peggiorare la situazione (Basket totale sempre più sbilanciato). Credo di aver fatto altre 2 o 3 aggiunte e
a poco a poco, il prezzo inizia a fluttuare sempre più vicino al mio BE ipotetico. Arrivo anche a ottenere un (e dico 1) centesimo di guadagno.
Guarda.... se ero rimasto a quel 3%, avrei chiuso al volo, ma dopo aver visto un -10%.... no. O tutto (almeno 1%) o niente.

Passa il tempo e finalmente vedo un +1.3%. Ora si che posso chiudere. Attivo e....... di nuovo la stessa identica situazione.
Immagina come stavo? Tra il deluso e l'incazzato nero. Di nuovo una decina e più di operzioni nel verso giusto e..... 7 contrarie.
Ma da dove caz... cavolo escono queste contrarie? E intanto il saldo chiuso è negativo per quasi 2% e quello aperto è di nuovo oltre il -7%.
E adesso? Fanculo. Voglio vedere chi la vince. Richiudo nuovamente quelle contrarie alla direzione che pensavo fosse quella giusta e
apro progressivamente altri set, fino ad arrivare ad avere in totale 89 operazioni singole aperte (quasi 13 set da 7).

Nel frattempo, cerco di analizzare cosa era cambiato da ieri a oggi. Avevo creato una versione ridotta e per mio uso esclusivo, dell'EA e lo stavo usando.
Ma non avevo variato le funzioni operative, quindi non era quello. Avevo tolto tutti gli mq4 dalla piattaforma (ininfluente) e avevo ripulito il programma
che uso per chiudere gli ordini. Che fosse quello che mi creava questi problemi? Avevo però solo tolto gli spazi vuoti dal codice e rimosso i commenti
standard che lascia inutilmente il Metaeditor. Inoltre, quando ho compilato il ex4, non c'era stato nessun avviso di codice errato.
Quindi non poteva essere quello. Oltre tutto, in nessun modo e con qualunque modifica si voglia, non esiste niente nel codice che pemetta una chiusura si e no
e un'apertura opposta. Non è stato progettato per questo. Impossibile.

Eppure mi sembrava l'ultima alternativa possibile. Recupero una versione "vergine" che per fortuna avevo, la sovrascrivo su quella che stavo usando e prego.
Ancora un po' di tempo e finalmente arriva l'ennesima occasione di coprire tutti i loss e ottenere un microscopico guadagno. Attivo il programma e....
tutto fila liscio come l'olio. Maledizione. Evidentemente era quello. Ma ancora non capisco come possa aver creato tutto questo scompiglio.
Non ha questa capacità nè la possibilità. Andrà in archivio come una cosa inspiegabile, come altre impossibili che ho affrontato nei miei lavori passati.

Ora sono veramente stanco. Dopo domani, mi fermo qualche giorno per riposare il mio umile e povero cervello. Altrimenti rischio di arrivare a fare veri danni
e a dover recuperare tempo e soldi. Meglio evitare.

Spero che tu abbia letto con attenzione. Che abbia sorriso almeno per qualche secondo e che tu possa aver imparato qualcosa, dall'esperienza di un'altra persona.
Come faccio io, giorno dopo giorno, da sempre.

Grazie.

Hi Trader-IT,

congratulations on the consistent results of the past few days and of course thank you for your efforts.

Do we need a high level of forex experience at your system or It is enough a basic forex knowledge.

I mean how does your 10+ years of experience affects to your results?

we are waiting for your new updates

thx

I close the week.
The results of the first 7 days of trading / testing, you can find them here:
https://www.forexfactory.com/thread/...6#post13539566

Just a warning:
This account is only used to measure the possible results on a REAL account with 1:500 leverage
and to check for any problems in a real situation.
Problems that, unfortunately, still exist (such as those encountered only yesterday)
and that they are independent of my Trading and the "Configuration" in general.

The operations and the results are those of a partial Trading only.
If you only worked with this account, the results would be different.
The "Configuration" needs a general check to avoid other inconveniences, but
I am cooked and I need to disconnect a little. I will be absent for several days.
See you soon, with new news.

Good weekend everyone.

Today's results (only 3 hours):
Usual REAL account (self-limited results):
5st positive day after loss:
0.49 lots invested and divided into 7 total Sets, opened in several phases.
Total accumulated pips = +115.3
Max DD = -2.94% (derived from two operations and two gains)
Account gain = +2.51%

This week's result account = +7.50% (a monthly average of more than 20%)
This week's result pips = +413.7 pips

Just to hide anything
Results since the beginning of the test (6 May) = -23.20% and -490.3 pips

Thanks Tokken.

Thanks for the right and legitimate question. Not easy to answer though.
It's something I've been thinking about for several weeks in order to address
and to prepare people for this "Configuration".
So, even if I would have preferred to postpone a day with a more rested head,
I take this opportunity and now I try to give a brief explanation.

My ten-year experience has certainly served to get me out of the various troubles I had,
trouble unrelated to Trading with this methodology.
Once the EA opens reverse positions (it was misconfigured by the original Coder),
another time (yesterday) I find myself with strange and messy openings and closings (my coding mistake)
and other small and not so small problems.

Either I give up and take a heavy loss every time, or I try to handle the situation and come out at least even.

Do you need a lot of experience to use this "Configuration"?
In Italy we would say NI (a cross between Yes and No).
It is actually for everyone. Experts and non-experts. For:
- The Scalpers
- For intraday Traders
- For those who only love the naked graph
- For those who prefer Trading based on Moving Averages
- For whom "I only work with levels
- For those who only use the Breakout technique on Box
- And the Breakout on lines (horizontal, diagonal)
- For those who, like me, cannot give up the Renko
and perhaps, many other cases.

A novice with zero experience might have an advantage. Mind free from all learning
previous, which by following the right information to the letter, obtains a certain result.
You only know this ... just do this and "repetition makes Man perfect".

On the other hand, an experienced person must adapt or even ignore some previous practice
acquired, in order to work well with this methodology.
However, he would have that habit of trading (manual) on his side, which could make the difference.
So I would say it is for everyone, at any level.

Incredible.
I have been trying to kill this other account for several days, before opening another one (leverage 1: 1000) and I can't.
I have opened operations since yesterday and today I have entered, several times, all the capital left in trades almost at random.
Result today? +106.4 pips.
It's holding on forever, but I'll be able to bend it next week.

Voglio complimentarmi con te per lo sforzo che stai impiegando per la cura di questo thread e del tuo metodo,si vede che ci stai mettendo tutto te stesso,continua così!Sono curioso del metodo vero e proprio che spiegherai,credo di aver capito sarà basato su :
-Livelli
-Moving averages
-Correlazioni
E' così?

Saluti !
I wanna congratulate with you for the effort you are committing in this thread,you're giving all of yourself,keep going !.I'm curious about the method you are going to explain further on,but i've understood it based on :
-Levels
-Moving Averages
-Correlations
Is it right?
Regards !

Thanks for the detailed feedback.

Have a nice weekend.

I look forward to the updates of the next week.
