Good point of view, thanks, Sky.

main trend is still up.
selling the dollar is in
just how far will this retrace
I took a few hedges, to catch some pips on the way down.
but I have closed those.
v16 x2 FXDD 1.5988 I got in pretty high, 2 buy stops triggered, manual trade... ea did not open any trades.
Like minds..I have a manuel long GU trade carried over from weekend. Took a couple of short trades also to soften the blow. Still have one open short.

With this blow all the profits are wiped away and I think it might a good time to just quit this dirty game.

Only if it hits the SL... then we can be pretty sure the strategy is no longer viable due to changed market conditions

For those of us who do back testing in the tester from time to time, I have found a really bizarre quirk in the tester that can be throwing results off quite considerably. There is a way to compensate it.
Geoff sees no problem in anyone interested in avoiding a potentially lethal pitfall in the tester from visiting my thread where I have posted a detailed explanation and examples.
I would encourage anyone who relies at all on backtests to check this out. It's serious. And no I AM NOT advertising my thread..

Hi Jiva,

You'll be pleased to hear that Tokyo17 has a black hole detector for just this reason!

Since adding this I have noticed something very strange too. If I update my historical data then I can get clean data for backtesting but my realtime charts then have gaps in the data. If I refresh the realtime charts then the holes go away in the realtime charts but reappear in my historical data !

For this reason the gap detector is switched off by default but should be switched on when trading live to ensure you are running with complete data.

Regards,
Piptician

If we are still holding open positions from Sunday (I have five) will the v16 EA possibly generate new positions Monday evening, in addition to the ones currently being held, if the MAs (197 and 10) are in agreement?

I wouldn't be in such a hurry to turn this ea off just yet, particularly bearing in mind that this current trade has not yet closed!

The last couple of weeks have been very slow, and I am wondering if this is an artefact of the summer holidays. Looking around at other pairs, it all seems a bit flat... I would not be at all surprised to see it start working again come September.

So after this trade closes, I'm going to reduce my position in the ea, and watch for a while.

It wil open a short, if the conditions are met (unlikely) but not another long along with the current long (unless you open another GU chart, put the EA on and then change the magic number)

How on earth did you do that? Black hole detector!!!
Very good.
It was startling to see the effect this had on the backtests. And even more so the effect it could have on live trading.
If it isn't one thing, it's another.. yikes...

If the EA opened a short while longs are still open, isn't that hedging?

Actually Tokyo will not open anymore positions long or short until the current set of positions have closed. In other words, once long it won't go short until the longs have all closed and vice versa.
