Are the best systems also the systems that fail most spectacularly?

Just like to throw this question out there to more experienced Forex traders.

The reason is because I'm working on my own automated forex trading sytem written in C++, Ive tested it on 2009 so far and it produced 10000 pips, testing it on 2008 at the moment and so far its at about 11,000 pips. This is without any "filtering" of any kind.

My system has lots of losing trades too, and the progress is very slow and it hovers around certain balances for months. I've always been skeptical when I read about these bots that claim to have no losing trades since whenever. Do these types of "perfect" systems usually fail more spectacularly than a system that produces regular losses but usually more wins.

there is no such thing as an infallable system or ea. there are market participants with literally billions of dollars at their disposal for research and developement into auto trading and they still manage to lose money. If such a thing were possible there would be no market. Your system is no different, the only garrantee it comes with is that it will fail. If you are anything like me you will not accept this and continue to waste your time trying to get a machine to do your trading for you, convinced from your useless tests that it is possible. It takes a lot of time to learn to trade properly, most of the time is required in developing self control. The sooner you get started on this the better

I appreciate your opinion but thats all it is. an opinion. Google made millions of dollars getting machines to search the Internet and they didn't do too badly. Machines can do amazing things with the right person controlling them, of course they can do really stupid things too. If you're not a fan of EA's that's fine. Believe me if I had the natural skill of trading on instinct alone I'd do that and forget about the EA's.

The fact remains a lot of people are making a lot of money getting machines to do their trading for them and will continue to make more in the future as computing power gets cheaper and better.

I think what you will find here is many opinions of all shades and colors.

You'll have people here saying that it can absolutely be done and you should press on.

Others will say that you might get it to work for a while, until things change.

Some will say that it winds up being breakeven, or not much better.

Another will say the same - minus the spread. So that the negative expectancy caused by costs will always leave you below zero.

You will also have some say that the machine can't be taught to "read" the market and will ultimately fail miserably.

And, clearly, there will be those that will say it is a total goose chase and utter waste of time, but you will try and try until you realize that you have to learn to trade this thing yourself. They will tell you that when you're done dinking around and you are ready to actually learn how to trade.... I know it's hard to hear. The truth is in you. You will have to answer the question because obviously, no one else can.

I'll go ahead and vote for number 2. If you can get one to work in your favor, even if it has to be manually watched over, then you should get as much out of it as you can. In the end, it all becomes part of your learning process - so, if you believe you need it - you should do it.

The best traders win a lot and loose a lot as well, you cannot have the one without the other... it's like saying night without day, you need both sides to benefit from. You could develop a system that wins 95% of the time(hard to find) but looses you the other 5% on the first trades and it wipes your account. Great traders know that nothing is 100% and they make the best from uncertainty, taking what the market offers at that particular time.

Can you benefit from an EA? Well anything is possible, however there are a few difficulties it could run into... market sentiment, traders emotions, reaction to news(NFP,GDP), this are a few examples. In my oppinion a machine alone cannot provide you the edge needed to become profitable in the long term.

Hi Frink FX,
In my humble opinion you could continue on the path you've chosen until you discover that it works (then great!) or that it does not (then use that feedback to try another course.

I know the above sounds a bit trite, but I do believe one needs to follow your heart and see where it leads.

With that said, I do believe that with the money and expertise that some of the big players have in the forex, that an EA that really worked would be out there already. Of course, if it is they probably wouldn't tell anyone would they?

So, that leaves the option of spending the effort on learning trading. Probably the best course for anyone to take.

I would not dismiss this as 'b.s.'.

I know a fund in the Cayman Islands who exclusively trades black box algorithmic programs.

We all know that nothing has an unlimited life span - let alone profitability span, but fully computerized trading models have been and still are a major part of modern trading.

For a few years now I have known that brokerages are using dynamic trading systems. The trading system computes every tick of data and changes itself accordingly. The equity curves produced from 10% samples for the entire market is impressive but only seems to be worthwhile on daily or higher time frames. Intra day doesnt seem to do very well. With the computer being capable to produce studies of the market far better than myself, I would stick to daily or higher time frames as well. Forget day trading IMO.

What is discouraging though is that these computer systems are for sale. They have fairly high price tags and maintance fees but apparently they can make more money selling the item than by using it.

Fact is using our traditional statistical analysis to measure risk in the market is NOT working. There needs to be new discoveries in economics which will govern risk. But the main problem is the market seems to be continuous and not discrete. Try and work around that problem. lol

Are the best systems also the systems that fail most spectacularly?


I think a good reference to this question are the typcial martingale strategies. The math behind them shows they can have a 100% win ratio (overall when positions are averaged out) and make squillions of dollars.

Ofcourse they fail spectacularly (if left on 24/5 unsupervised) too due to massive DD's resulting from black swan trades.

I want to add one last thing. For those looking to get RICH there seems to be only one way to get there. Follow the fundamentals and look for major bubbles or neglected asset classes in the market. Then ask yourself all the questions of what could happen when the bubble bursts or when the supply and demand will change. Be highly leveraged and keep your fingers crossed cause these type of opportunities don't come around that often. When you hit it big it usually happens all at once or in a very short period of time compared to the whole.

As the percentage of mega rich folks compared to the rest of the population is probably about as often these events will happen.Look at all the rich people of the world, they became rich basically by being hard workers and most importantly being in the right profession at the right time. I think the new discoveries in economics that will be most significant will be in finding a probability of a major event occuring.

Most of us missed the latest rare event in the currency market because we did not ask ourselves the right questions. We all new there was a bubble in housing and it's potential devasting consequences but we did not ask what would happen to the dollar. Apparently everyone dumped their foreign investments based in foreign currency and ran back to the dollar along with lots of other foreigners. Why? Because even though the dollar is flawed it was at the time the one currency that was at the moment the safest. George Soros asked all the right questions and made over another billion dollars by taking the rare opportunity.

I remember when he was interviewed by Charlie Rose in June saying he was shorting the pound vs the dollar. Even after watching that I was out to lunch. Now he has gone back into retirement and prob wont come back out until another potential rare event occurs. But my guess the next rare event that will occur will prob be after his death.lol

Good luck in your trading.

I disagree with the one way JT - it depends on your size. Huge scale traders are trading on fundies because they absolutely have to. You can't work in multi billion pound positions without it moving the market, so you're looking at what moves the market on a longer scale - fundies.
For smaller funds, intraday trading is a lucrative business. For every strategy for sale, there are dozens more that never see the light of day. I know of one hedge fund that has been returning 20-30% pa using the same algos for 4 years now, trading very high frequency. Even now, it's about 10% of big volume traders in FX are using algos (vs 60%ish fundies from memory).

Yea I wouldn't doubt that. Reason being there are small percentage of big winners out there on every level. That was pretty much my whole point. The few own the majority. It's just a law of the free market. Why it's like that is because great opportunities are rare. Hard work may keep you out the poor house but it doesn't guarantee you riches.

Yep averaging in always in systems are the worst, try this 1 out!!


Go Short, and short again every 100 pips it goes against you and keep repeating it.

Exit when over all profit is say $1000 or some other suitable number!!

Given enough money in the account, it'll have a 99.9% win ratio, and the 0.1% is where eventually a margin call will be reached.

And it's still possible to get so far out of the money, not even averaging down will get you back to profit for maybe months.

Adjust the 99.9% win rate depending on the risk your taking and the size of your account.
Nothing to it, but to do it!!! Stick to the plan FOOL!!!!

It's kinda true, but there is always thus far a human element tweaking the system to respond to different market conditions.

Been tweaking around with the system for a while tonight, and it seems to be consistantly generating pips. Next step is to import the code into windows, and make it into a MetaTrader-compatible EA.

Backtesting it from 01-Jan 2004 - 25 Aug 2009 and it has made.....

Why are you wasting you time asking people questions that they can't answer. Demo test the bot on live data for a couple months and see how it works. And then when you're comfertable with it, use proper money management and try it out on a real live accunt.

I'm demo trading this these days... waiting for it to bite the dust . Login details for it. (it's my own home brewed bot)
