Did anyone else get this stop loss on Original Bot?

Losing trade opened February 15 at 22:59 GMT and closed at stop loss February 16 at 15:47 GMT.

Hedging kicked in with first hedging trades opened February 16 at 8:15 GMT.
Yeah, I also took the hit live at both Forex.com UK and Go Markets, so it wasn't a broker issue.

Well, then I guess you need to follow dinofx since he "easily knew where prices are going" today!!!!!!

Using MTF's wouldnt have matterd in this case.

There are certain things you cant build into an EA, this just highlights that fact.

Things often occur outside of the basic FFCAL scheduled economic news.

Sudden bond movement (not this time) is a problem for any trading floor.

Hedge funds played a big part in what happend today. Again, not something you can code into an EA.

Like all traders, sometimes you have to accept loses. If you cant bring yourself to understand that then FOREX is not the place to be delving into.

Scoobs.

PS....

The notion that losses are going to happen to you, frees your mind of that psychological fear that screws good strategies and empower the trader to keep going, to polish his money management and look for more pips.

To me, that is one the best teaching that this whole thread gives.
Also the bots, the knowledge, etc, etc..

Best regards,

My two FXDD demos got clobbered too. As scooby suggested if the big boys are making apower play there'snot much you can do about it except maybe have good stops and step back until the dust settles.

Personally a system that appears to lose too infrequently would make me very suspicious, either it is equivalent of selling options all the time (lots of submarined risk) or is unrealistic or faked.

here is mine with TCF2 : 14 %

always tweaking the best settings

Alpari UK Demo, From Sunday start balance of 7K to the moment

Maxoubot - upl: +9800
Scooby_EMARSI - upl: -2400

All defaults settings and in the case of the Maxoubot, incorrect lot size for the size of my demo account, although the dd not exceed 10%, except today, which touched 25% (Steve shirt protection on)

PS.: those lost trades on the Scooby happened today and is on it's way of recover.

I am grateful for the bollocks ea!
it protects your account - why?
I have not lost any --
you just have to wait until the courses are changing, you can not win every day!
when hedge works, then you can get out with profit from a trade if indeed the trend of hedge then reinforces the need to hedge it is best to purchase additional direction is looking at the daily chart the right course boarded. we trade courses and not pips. man can not lose with bollocks!
they try to only 20% of the monthly account to lift and it is possible to trade with consistent system! bollocks, they do not need to stop! only a good money management!
see my picture!
best regards

PS. I am not DEMO it is Realaccount!

Dont bank on it.

Hedge funds have taken huge positions against the Euro. Only they will know when/if they will liquidate/consolidate/cash in etc.

If you happen to be on the right side of the trades, then , if not then...........

Hi octomanoak,
Do you have more details about these transactions? Open/close times in particular. I'd like to analyze them and see if it is worthwhile to cut trades even if they are in drawdown after a certain amount of time.

Scooby if the professionals see a big move in the Euro will they automatically go flat on any impacted positions? I suppose some moves might be leaked so you could get out before the mob.

1. Yes if they are potentially on the wrong side of the trade.
2. Some moves are leaked or can be fairly obvious to spot i.e. If you suddenly get large pending orders appear at IB levels outside of Economic news. 90% of the time markets are predictable and move in patterns. When these patterns become broken for no logical reason then you know something is about to happen or unfold.

The BOJ is not interviening at the moment. This will be them waiting for orders at IB level to be removed and/or taken.

You may also find that the Bank of Tawain is further trying to devalue the Yen after todays antics.

Dont panic, there will be only one winner.
