dear diary.... today marks the end of the first week of caseys challenge.... my trades, only 6 so far, are still open in the charts below.....
the attempt at using casey's challenge to build an equity millipede is off to a slow start... only has 6 feet.... so i guess it's a equity sexipede..... works for me.....
//---
//---
goals.... build an equity millipede..... not sure just what one looks like, so my definition will be 1000 open profitable trades at one time....
rules..... trades will be ea based so rules are in-coded.... given casey's single rule of 'don't break rules', this can only mean in my case, do not manually disable the ea at anytime.....
//---
//---
to do list.....
(1)..... create in mq4, mq5's single position order handling scheme.... this should allow proper trading the millipede's turns, which go against our open positions, and not violate the nfa no hedge rule.... using states based ibfx.....
(2)..... ______ ......
//---
//---
it's quite possible casey meant the challenge to be for hard right edge manual traders only.... they are more apt to break rules so are more in need of iron clad disicipline.....
fortunately, manual trading is beyond my abilities..... but laid back lamo ea traders still need disicipline..... we can break rules by disabling the ea or changing settings on a whim.....
can you really build an equity millipede and never break rules.... probably not..... we must be flexible as it stands to reason occasionally something out of the blue will appear which might justify such an action.....
maybe a "be flexilbe but not too flexible" rule would be wise loop hole........

in any event, click the chart for animation...... till next week diary.......h
