i look at your graph and it looks like you started at $360.00 ish and in 20 days you are close to 460 ish so in one month you made $100.00 ish off 360.00 thats not all that bad is it daddy

i guess if i had 4 million and made 1 million on it in 20 days that would be ok with me.

Hi DMJ,

Actually, I had started with $200.00 and the account had more than doubled in 4 days using micro-lots only.

It impressed me!

Interbank FX is introducing 5th decimal pricing!

As part of our continuing commitment to delivering the optimal customer experience we are introducing 5th decimal pricing on our currency pairs. The 5th decimal prices will be available on our demo servers on Sunday afternoon at 6pm EST on April 12th, 2009 and will be available on the live trading servers on Sunday afternoon at 6pm EST on May 17, 2009.

Has anyone adjusted the eas for 5 digits? Do we just need to add a 0 to the tp, sl and step settings to make it work?
Thanks..
gerri

I hope someone can change this EA to 5 digits. Its been working nicely, trading it very conservatively.

Up another 100 overnight. 34tp is keeping with Bob's 60x90 ratio and the 51step comes from a different semi-martingale 7 sequence ea that continues to win for me. Will trade thru the NFP this morning although I don't think I have enough room with the steps. I'll keep the thread informed....Dan

Hey QZ,

Sounds awesome!

What did you do to change the ea? Did you actually change out some coding or just simply change the inputs parameters?

Have you been trading only in the evening? If so, that makes a nice EOD ea.

Vincent just changed the inputs, trading 24/5. I personnaly like this ea a lot, just can't stomach the huge losses. It went thru the news this morning just fine, gainned another 68 with gbp/usd. This ea is a keeper for me, just have to figure out the numbers, levels and lots

I've testing the GBP/NZD. My demo account is set at $5000 at .05, 6 max trades. Its up about $500 in the past 2 weeks. I 've been trying to get some history on it but can't seem to get anything further than 1/30/09.

Is anyone trading this live? What are your thoughts?

Hey Bob,
Do we just add a 0 to TP and SL? Do we add a 0 to the step (pip) level? What about lot size, does .02 become .2 now? Should we change the slippage from 5 to 50? I'm using the 100x40 1D 02 EA. is there anything else that needs to be changed? Do you think this will change the effectiveness of your EA's?Thanks

QZ, could you please elaborate your timeframe, and the entry clearance----how many pips away from MA for your 1st step entry?, also on what pairs?

I backtest your settings on nzdjpy, nzdchf, gbpusd, all doomed. sorry, I am not saying that this doesn't work, just trying to ask for more details.

thanks.

Adjusted Bob's ea to a 34tp, 51step, 152sl, 5 pairs, 3 levels means -510 when it losses. Lost once, 27 wins, up 429 starting on 3-29. My thinking is I don't care if it loses as long as it wins overall. Trying to never lose turns out to be a typical martingale. There is always the perfect storm. Will keep u informed

Dont know, this gets IBFX out of tight spreads whenever it wants now. I do not see this as an improvement, I mean money wise what is the difference between .018 and .020 but when they need a 10 spread they can do it easier now. My complaint with IBFX has been the widening of the spread as it nears the TP area. Wont know how bad it will get until we get there. As far as changing the EAs, when I get the new demo we can make the adjustments.

There maybe some enhancements with the multiplication factors but I wont know until I see it. The more complicated and confusing you make the better chance you have of taking people's money. Just try to understand your credit card bill sometime.

Here is a problem I had all week. There were 3 updates that came down. All three caused my screen to change to another profile page. It wasnt even the default one. I may have to delete all the profile pages except the one I am using if it happens again. I recommend canceling the update when you get it then turn off the EA and then restart to get your update.

Now, ibfx can miss your TP with even more precision. U may miss your TP by 1 pip in the past but now u can miss ur TP by less than a pip.

I think widening spread was the start of making more money. With this 5 digit stuff, they gonna make more. Who knows what's the next thing they can think of to make more money

Dear Thread,

May I ask the following: why do we have to martingale the positions at all since it seems that is where the main problems with the system lie: too many positions piled on too quickly. For, rather than adding to the time you're able to hold onto positions while waiting for price to move in your favor, by martingaling you're in fact diminishing the time you're able to hold the positions. It becomes a bet that price will retrace before you run out of time. And so, why not simply average the additional positions rather than martingale them (see a while back Knoxy's P/L curves trading 1,1,1,1 on EURCAD, etc.) and try for more pips than the standard 60 pip TP? You'd be able to hang in more trades longer, not get margined out, buy yourself more time, be more relaxed, and probably make more money ultimately. Your thoughts?

Lenoxer

PS The challenge of trading around averaged positions is well-explained in the Spieler thread on FF.

Charvo, I'm using 5m charts with 51 from ma and steps. All pairs with 10 or less for a spread and eliminating the ones that lose till I'm down to 2 or 3, right now I have 6 left. Make sure you have a modeling of 90% on back test or those test are worthless. I'm not big on back test anymore. Including a chart for pairs left which are averaging 100 pips daily.

just a thought to avoid spikes etc etc...


why dont we make it to open the first position that we slap on a macd and the macd has to be heading back down (for a short) and be above a certain distance from the MA to open the first position... this would stop trades opening in a spike...

itd also open trades only when overbought or oversold and be more likely to go in your direction..

just a thought, which may have been hinted at before perhaps...

W, Bob has a 30m stoch 14/3/3 setting in his EA. I don't know how much influence it has on the trade? He has it set to 90/10 which should filter those spikes that your talking about. Bob's a pretty sharp cookie. The perfect storm exists for anything we can come up with which means all systems will fail. I personally feel Bob's EA here with settings I can live with is getting close to that grail we are all looking for.

yeh the stoch indicator doesnt even work in the code, its just old remnants of the original code that arent used anymore....

thoughts on the macd idea... it would reduce some trades but also take the trade when price is 'rolling over' so to speak... not catching a falling knife

Sorry guys, I thought I knew this ea. I agree, another filter, (macd/stoch) something to keep you out until it's overbought/sold would probably be real good.

This is the first of the threads about this ea that I've read. Is there any "must reads" from the other threads?
