For those on 0.02 and 0.05 what has been your biggest DD so far
I am trying to find what was my biggest DD so far
When I save my Stmt ad a detailed report I get Maximal Drawdown but it only show 30.06 which is not what I want
Does anyone now where I can get this info
my FXbook does not seem to show it either
What I want is the worst case ever Scenario
Hi peterporter,

I think the highest drawdown I have had would be around $200-250, somewhere in that range. CT trades OOTB with the lot sizes you mention, trend trade settings are as the general tab on myfxbook states.

Regards,

Murray

anyone else happen to be getting some countertrend trades closing at a loss? no stoploss should be in place for these as they use recovery, but for some reason i am getting a few closing at -30 pips. i have no settings anywhere that i can see that would cause it, and logs dont say jack.

Yes, it is strange that Beastie was born less than a week ago; it seems to have been dominating my life for ever.

Latest update is in post 1. From the updated user guide:

 

  1. AllowCtToTtConversion: when set to 'true', this allows CT trades taken in the direction of the trend to be converted to a trend trade and managed as such. The trade acquires the magic number and trade comment of a trend trade. This only applies to new trades, not to existing trades.

I have also tidied up the TT user display, so that an open trade is displayed outside trading hours.

Compiled and enabled , lets see what happens (on live with CT at 0.5 lots and TT at 1.0 lots)

Here is my updated beastie btw, last attempt was getting killed pretty quickly (too high a lot size used on trend trades apparently)
we'll see how this one goes

Hi

It must be something in the code. I just had 7 EURUSD shorts & 4 USDJPY Longs. I think it must be something in the code. Steve is trying to do so much in such a short time, such glitches bound to happen. Do not worry.

Kind Regards

It is quite obvious. We let the master sort it out when he is back (I Guess he already knows about it).

What kind of trades?

No need to answer that last query.

I assume these were trades sent whilst AllowCtToTtConversion was enabled.

I had forgotten to tell Beastie to remove the CT pending-trade global variable when doing the conversion. Like a good Beastie, it was seeing that the market had hit a CT trade trigger, converted it to a trend trade and sent it, then dozed for a minute, then saw that the market had hit a CT trade trigger......

I think I have fixed this - post 1.

Beastie cannot manage all of those extra trend trades - it is only designed to handle 1.

hi steve, don't blame on me...why don't we express the distance of the price from the outer band of the tma (talking about the pip buffer for "the touch") as a percentage of the distance between center and outer lines? doing this we would have a general measure for each currency instead of setting a specific number of pips!
setting, let's say, 90% we would find that for some pairs it would be, say, 15 pips, for others maybe 30, but we would have a general setting depending on the volatility! sounds better to me than personalizing it for 28 pairs...!
