Fredgold,

I just noticed that in my post #1155 I have a typo.

Margin 0.4 trades 0.04 lot; not 0.4 lot

Sorry

hello!

For me Phantom14_Add_02.taz is doing the best but it needs some fixes

First thing i noticed is that it is sometimes openig duble trades(same pair) at the same time (few seconds apart). It needs another check for this.

Next i would like to change equity profit target for normal profit target so i could use more copys of the EA (with lower maxmargintouse) with diferent Magicnumber and diferent start times.

At the moment i am testing this aproach on 4 diferent accounts (diferent start time) and it looks good. Never have all 4 accounts sufered a big DD at the same time.

Hope someone with programing skills could help me.

Quoting frazerd
....if the GBPCHF continues it's upward move and accelerates, I will have 11 trades that will become big losers rather than small ones and it will send my equity way down.
I got lucky and ended up on the right side of the move. AddSix_02 closed 16 GBPCHF sell trades for 1% profit.

I am now tracking all 3 of my 50:1 demos in one excel book, each EA has it's own tab. Add_02-taz, which started last Thursday is doing the best of the 3 so far with 4% profit and Lowest Margin 316%, lowest of the 3 because it is a smaller account ($2000)

I guess my point is that none of these EAs stays within the framework of a balanced hedge. The profit comes from being out of balance in the right direction.
The hedge is not always in place in terms of open trades. But if the wind shifts before profit is reached, the other side of the hedge will be exploited to open new trades. So I'll stick to my position that the EAs' underlying strategies (except for the "wrongway/taz" tactic) are within the framework of a balanced hedge. A glance at the open trades often doesn't reveal the hedge.

MC, you can change "Ph14_WrongwayGravy_taz_01" with this rule:
if a trade value reached 5% EQUITY PROFIT TARGET closes this
and simultaneously closed a trade at a loss closer to -4% EQUITY PROFIT TARGET

This is to recover the margin available for new trades with a gain +1%
If you think this is a bad idea to ignore this post.

Thanks.

MC, you can change "Ph14_WrongwayGravy_taz_01"...
I CAN, but it's better if you do it. If an idea for a trading tactic isn't worth learning to code it, it might not be a good idea you really believe in.

all of my taz perform well at start, but eventually the DD will multiply to the point that's not feasible in real acct.

+18% in 2 weeks on your Phantom_Add_02, looking good.

I'm sorry if you've already mentioned these, but what type of account are you trading? And what are your MaxMarginToUse and ProfitPct settings, if you don't mind me asking?

Hi MC,

As a member well noticed, this ea sopmetimes open very very similar trades. maybe it needs to fix the check for that.
Moreover there is a problem with the close of trades. As you can see on the report, there are trades which were opened several days ago, and still there. But there was a new cycle with new trades.

Please can you help or fix or explain ?

I bumped your default from .2 to .4 on MaxMarginToUse, and the rest is default.
the cycle tend to reach the 1% target faster if your spreads are low, then the next cycle can begins.
Dukascopy seems like a good alternative for US residents, low spreads + commission, no fifo and hedging restriction.

dukascopy wont offer mt4, so u'd have to use the bridge from mt4 to duka to trade this, or MC will have to convert to jscript

I did watch the spreads on duka for quite awhile last month, while testing the mql to jscript converter, and I didn't really notice that they were any better than my gomarket live account. Still the same end of day and before weekend spikes in spread, and the average was never any lower either. Of course I can't trade with GO anymore, but those that can i still recommend.
