Interesting thread, i have been trading live with my own EA now for just under a year. 10th Sep 09 will be its golden 1 year anniversary. Currently with just under 900 trades under its belt and 51% profit on capital.

I don't use strategy tester as quite frankly, i don't trust it so for me its good old excel as I am then able to disect the results for a much more indepth analysis. Have included my 2 sheets from my spread sheet + graph.

Note that my win streak lasted over 3 months with over 180% profit before the mother of all drawdowns reared its ugly head. Gotta give an EA room to breathe before deciding if its gonna work or not. In my opinion - investing into anything with less than 12 months live testing is financial suicide as too much can happen......

Thanks for the input. I probably was really trying to runn too many instances then, resulting in the programs grnding to a stand still.

On another issue, Which brokers allow you to trade on miniforex charts such as EURJPYm, USDCADm? I have been tryingt to find but most allow only standard charts. Thank you for the guidance.

The only broker that I know that uses the "m" on their charts is IBFX.

All their mini account charts have a m after the letters of the chart just as you posted "GBPUSDm".

Is there any difference between "m"-chart and standard charts? (what's the difference?)

Hody Sir Ronald,

The "m" is a designation for the "mini forex" charts as used on IBFX.

When you have installed your MT4.0 and are about to set up your account, at that point you have achoice between "Standard" and "mini Forex". If you choose "mini-forex", you will set up a mini account where the contract size is 10,000.00 of base currency as opposed to 100,000 on Standard.

Well the best way is to go install a demo and see. it will not cost you a thing.

So, on these charts all the pairs are followed by an "m" to denote you have selected a mini account as in say GBPUSDm, USDCHFm.

Hope that helped.

I found it/them usefull in my practice, so I got used to them. But I needed to see if there were other brokers who offered the facility, not wishing to be locked into a given broker. To date I have not found any. I am still looking though.

Peace.

Charting-wise, is there any difference?
  • #240
  • Aug 7, 2009 12:02pm Aug 7, 2009 12:02pm
Sir Ronald,
the difference is in the flexibility it offers particularly for persons with limited funds. I Have been practicing EA's as staying up and chart gazing is not possible with a 8 or 9-5 pm. What I found is that I found it more meaningful to practice only at the level that I will be capitalizing my live account at and at that leverage only. When I first learned to technical trade I practiced on 10K and 100 k account at up to 200:1 leverage. Then I made good profits at a range of 50-70% win rate. I never realized that the staying power which you get from a large deposit cannot be replicated on a smaller deposit.

I went live with $1500.00 and Yes I lossed that and got two margin calls in the process. All down to the experience I suppose.

So to the question I am practicing to trade at $50.00 per lot and no more than $1.00 per pip, preferably $0.25 since I will be trading EA's. So on the mini-charts, you automatically lock in at the smaller leverage and minimum equity and then you have another tier on the lot sizing down to 0.1 Demo (0.01 lots live) to further control the cost per trade. I try to focus on how much I will/may lose, rather than on the possibility of Winning a lot, as promised by large leverages (that suits the broker not me I miss they hit).

Large leverage is not bad butt you must first know how to manual trade (even if you will ultimately be using EA's) as it is the psychology of the trader that kills him. Sure a little help from the broker at times. But you pay to learn, one way or the other, why not make it structured and on your terms?

So the short answer Sir Ronald is that the mini forex charts offers the small self directed, beginner trader (myself) some flexibility and elbow room to apply good stop losses & Take Profit => reward:risk ratio, and other judicious money management techniques, grounded in the knowledge that there is no ladder to the moon and a Rise is almost certainly accompanied by a decline. Two opposing escalators if you will. it is just the experience and discipline that will help us to use said escalators to touch the moon.

Thanks for the opportunity to let that out.
