I didn't know at the time, but it was fear that Obama will nationalize the two big banks here in the US, but then they came out and said they think banks should remain private, so it retreated some. I didn't realize I had 4 EA trades hit and quickly pass.. two in about 10 minutes time.

people are still talking too much. and they are talking about taking over the banks, and making little GOV banks so we will all be economically safe.

just remember don't question the messiah

I'm wandering just how far they will go. this time is kinda odd...
the markets moving, time to get in!

I took a hit on my small account. Not because the EA was bad but because 250 bucks is not enough margin to handle 13 currencies. I took about a 100 dollar loss on that one. I am only going to run two currencies on it this week and quit trying to push my margin so much. Eur/nzd is my choice since it seems to do the most amount of trading.

Here is a pic I put 3000 in and am running dimes .10 lots. Nice week, was comfortable margin all week and had a nice return. The gbp/jpy had a hit but I manually closed that one for a loss. It would have retraced...
Bob,
I'm getting very close to trading live with IBFX. Were you by chance running a demo at the same time last week on this 60/90? I'm trying to get an idea of the difference in entries and exits between a live and demo account with IBFX. Are you seeing much slippage, requotes and if so how much on average? I know you had some trouble with the AUD/NZD a little while back. I'm expecting some of this going live but I'm hoping it won't be too bad. Also, were you trading with or without the 500SL last week? Hope you have another great week of trading. Thanks much

Bob,...
The problem I am having with IBFX is the spread widening, Sometime this could cause a miss on the TP and then later your dealing with a deeper trade than you would want to be. Now most of the time we are still getting the TP because price is retreating far more than the 60 PIPS so it does not get to be as much of a problem. It does affect the AUD/NZD system more than this EA system because we are playing with a much smaller range EA. So as long as your not using too many of the exotic pairs so far so good. If this system becomes very successful, spread widening at TP time will be the way they can defeat it. I am beginning to get enough confidence with this but I need more data to go with companies that only trade dimes. But that is going to take a 2-3000 dollar account to do. Then we have some broker competition but penny traders IBFX does not have much competition. I really dont know a good penny broker we can transfer too other than IBFX. If they just had some competition they wouldnt be able to get away with it. They would have a mass exit of traders. I do complain about IBFX but I also am thankful they exist. It allows me to test my theories live without investing thousands of dollars. I am happy with that but the spread widening is an unfair advantage to them. Trading is tough enough without a broker doing this junk with it. Sooner or later there will be a decent competitor and IBFX will loss a ton of customers. Until then that is what we have to put up with.

I am attaching an excel file that includes my Demo acct since 2/1/209 and also the demo statement for this past week.

Has anyone else experienced IBFX archiving your demo history? This is very frustrating and this Demo has now been archived twice... its history only goes back about 8 days now.... how do analyze results on a week's results? It crazy!

Anyway, I have been able to save history in the attached excel file so a append the new data/trades to it.

I have kept this running 24/7 on all 22 IBFX pairs using Level 3 on .01 lots. Up over 10% in 3 weeks with drawdown maxing out at about 1%. Have not attempted the Recovery EA yet.

I don't think I have come close to any margin issues, but I am not sure out to determine that after the fact.

Will be out of the country next week or so... will let the demo run and if this experience continue for the next 2 weeks, I will be going live... not all 22 pairs, but running them will allow me to find the best 12-18 pairs.

Wayne

Plus $45.00 for just 3 days trading 13 pairs at .10 each on live account. Started Tuesday & shut down Friday morning. Not counting $20.00 on a few quick scalp trades that were around 110 from center but my EAs set at higher levels. Still looking at the distances away & will make some slight revisions downwards. Missed quite a few trades, but also missed getting into a few that would have gone past three levels.

nice there.... let me know what you end up doing. I made $12.53 for the week live, $6.28 of it just on the Friday craziness. On 2/19 I changed my lots upwards from .01 (on some pairs) since I know my own MM and what I am willing to lose, but some I am starting at .03 and some .05.. Had I left it at .01, I would've made $4.60 for the week.. but heck for pennies that's still pretty good.

another nice indicator, which shows all open position with exposure and the 'deals' reflect the levels.

hee hee ha ha.. my testing of the charts and numbers is letting the ea work all the time.. no closing on weekend, friday, etc.. so let's see how these new numbers of mine work out over the weekend. Who would've thunk the stupid currencies would go wild this afternoon... I am in a level 3 on usd/chf and yes it will be kept over the weekend.. but heck this one is 120 pips from center on 5m. Maybe it won't work.. maybe it is too risky, but I'm doing it anyway. lol
thank goodness it worked to my advantage!!!
