{quote} You need to learn how to develop them yourself, I have 30 strategies across various instruments and I don't execute any on of them manually, I can literally go on holiday for a couple of weeks and the systems take care of themselves. If you are a newbie to coding I suggest looking at ProRealTime, it has a very simple pascal like language and is easy to get started (there is a free training course), deployment to automatic trading is also a piece of cake on ProRealTime , the gold standard for EAs is of course MT4/5 but the learning curve...

{quote} As we are talking about EA, I developed my own based on the strategy on this forum. Same, it requires a lot of effort and time; for me, it took 2 years of constant looking at the market. I did not do back testing, only forward testing, but it was slow and exhausting as the market opened for 5 days. I observe the market every day, how my EA behaves, what mistakes it is doing then the whole weekend fixing them. Then again, testing. It was slow, but at the end I am satisfied. Just my last week EA result. {image}

{quote} Impressive results, well done. I see you made all your profit trading gold. For me, I find it very hard to make money trading forex and find that trading indices, metals and energies far more lucrative. If I trade forex, I try and focus on the pairs that are strongly trending and buy or sell the highs/lows or continuation trades. I’d be interested to see how many of your gold sells were off pivot points.

{quote} I'm an OG from this thread, I think we were both here when the thread started, I've been trading forex weekly pivots for years. Like you, I have gravitated towards the indices and metals. Still using pivots, but now I use the daily pivots on YM, ES, NQ and GC or the equivalent cash instruments in a forex account. Fundamentals still an important piece as well as daily range. I've incorporated VWAP and ORB as well. Pivots are still magnets and always will be. On the forex side, still trade some pairs, crosses work best, pretty much only trade...

{quote} I'm glad to hear of your continued success and commitment to the Pivot system. For me, price action is key and always looking for a strong trend and continuation and this is one of my main focuses as well as incorporating some other indicators such as the TDI red/green cross from another system and MAs. Like you, I also trade the forex crosses like JPY pairs AUD/GBP/CHF.
