Yeah. I had to stop due to my internet connection problems and problems with my VDS provider. But now I'm back to the exciting live trade environment.

Al,

I got a cable high speed interent connection. Some of my friends convinced me that there is no major interruptions with this service. So I'm going to stick with it. If something goes wrong, I'll shop around to find a good VPS.

I assume that T1 is quite expensive comparing to a cable connection. I like the idea of using UPS. Actually I'm going to buy one very soon.

I was watching my charts today. I had an order open on USDCHF (long). The TP was set to 1.2097. The price hit the TP and the market changed direction afterwards. The dealing desk didn't close the order. I called them and asked them about the situation. They promised to call me back very soon. In a few minutes after my call they closed the trade with TP (the price at the time they closed the order was less than 1.2080.

This was an experience and it shows that if you speak up you may get what you deserve.

This post is a reminder to me and all others to be alert about the broker's activities.

BTW, my broker is MIG Investments SA (www.migfx.ch).

Good Luck to everyone,
Al

wow, aparsai, very interesting...You're a smart guy (!) not accusing them of screwing the customer but telling them in a kind way to change it. I don't like seeing that they "forgot" to close the order (I thought they don't do that menually) but their reaction is good. Maybe (but not probably) they had some hardware failure or crash and so they knew that customers will call them and were already prepared to give back some money.
Good that you watch the tradestation! And actually it's not a good sign because it's likely that there are times they screw you and you don't notice it

My assumption is that such an icident rarely happens. It usually passes the TP and then reverses. In one similar incident they didn't close the trade but the market passed through the TP an hour later and they closed it.

Anyway, I'm happy that they listened to me and hope not to see such incidents happen in the future.

No, I share it with some others. So it only costs me about $40 per month.

Thanks for the info. I got the new internet connection. So far so good but it's really too soon to judge. I also gut the UPS. I'll try this for a while and if it puts me into trouble I'll consider the T1 line as a possible alternative.

This post is just a pointer to another post I wrote about the effect of leverage. Here is the link. If you have any comments about that post please use that thread to reflect your ideas and/or comments.

I just use the current post for my future reference to that comment.

Unfortunately I haven't tested pairs except GBPUSD and USDCHF with PipBoxer because when I go live I won't use the others (because of their poor performance). But, aparsai, do you think I should run PipBoxer on the others, too since there'll be times where GBPUSD and USDCHF would work so well? Or do they should "match" the EA?
How where the testing results for the last few days or a week for the other pairs?

It would be a good idea if we continue this discussion on its own thread. I prefer to trade all of the pairs at the same time. There has been instances that a lousy pair has mitigated my losses and overally they are all profitable in long term. The USDJPY which has created the poorest results in the past 7 weeks showed the best performance in backtest. I prefer to wait and see but it's totally up to you.

I'll post the resutls of this week and all of the trades in the last 7 weeks and then you may have a clearer idea of how each pair behaved.

I wasn't fully functional this week. I started trading 24 hours late and the system didn't trade GBPUSD. The latter most probably happened due internet connection malfunction. However, I need to look into this issue.

Here is the table of those trades that got closed this week:

As you can see the absolute winner was USDCHF with 143 pips gain.

The set of EAs has closed 105 trades resulting in 814 pips (i.e. 7.75 pips per trade). Here is the complete list of trades:

I posted a chart and some statistics about the behaviour of my EAs. Check out posts #503 and #504 in Pip Boxer thread.

Good Luck,

I've lost 4 trades so far. In return only one TP and 1 BE. There are two more open trades that at least one of them is very likely to lose. I'm not very optimistic about the results this week. I hope tomorrow will turn everything around.
