No because you don't open a new trade until the take profit on the previous trade is hit. So you just take a steady stream of profits. In theory...

{quote} You've said several times that 1:1 leverage is desirable so that's what I used. That means to open a 0.01 position you would need £1000 in your account. I coded it to trade exactly per your instructions in the last update and I tested it visually so I know it works fine.
Hmm maybe we should keep a bit of leverage then.We need 1:10 to open a 0.01 with 100€ but, this way the margin requirement would be huge which would increase our chance of a margin call because we'd have less free margin.

So because anyway we use tiny lot sizes to not get MC'd, we could aswell use larger leverage.I`m thinking between 1:100, and 1:200, besides the demo account has 1:100 leverage anyway.

Proximus - are you factoring in swap given that some trades could be held for weeks/months even?
Not really, maybe i should redesign the system, for other pairs, to atleast get some swap bonus

What's the current TP for the latest template? It was 10 pips, originally, and then I think it was changed to 3.5 pips. Rob
Its called adaptation to the market.While the system is in forward test, i`m still optimizing it for better outcomes, so the current best outcome is reached with 3.5 pips.

Anyway thanks for the suggestions guys, i will think about them , and release a new version of the system.

You are not finding better future outcomes ... but best past outcomes. Optimizing is a double-edged sword ...

I have 20 years of tick based historical data, 99.9999% accurate candlestick modelation.The fact that i run the system on 20 years of data gives me a very clear vision about the system.Its is highly unlikely that the market will change so drastically in the next few years, relative to the past 20 years.

Markets usually have many cycles, and i`m very certain that it wont change drastically in the next 20-30 years, the last major change in the markets was the electronic trading which happened 40 years ago,the NASDAQ, i think we are safe for the next 30 years.The 2008 crisis was only a minor change if you think about it, not much changed in the price flow

Nothing is certain in life.

This system itself is no certain at all.Its a gambling system, and what we do is , we increase the odds to the maximum thats possible to achieve.

Then only luck will separate the winners from the losers.But still the odds here will be higher than on the lottery or casinos

Our new pair will be the AUD/USD, after careful considerations, i have found out that its the best pair for this system.

The new strategy will be to enter only long on AUD/USD, since our probability wont be affected ,50% chance of getting it right (~49% if we count in the spread), so that would result in a small average loss which would slowly drain our account to 0.

But ofcourse we use a 99.9999999% winrate strategy, but i`m just saying that it would work even with a 49-49 strategy (1% is always lost because of spread & slippage)

BUT, and this will change a losing system into a winning one.Everyone knows that the RBA gives bigger interest rate than the FED, so we can do carry trades.And since we only enter in long trades, we get 4.5 swap points on every long position at the AUD/USD (or atleast my broker gives that many points, it may differ on different brokers).

Rollover on every midnight= (Swap rate/10,000) × Position × Number of days

So for our position 4.5 /10000 * (1000 LOT UNIT) * DAYS

You get that on every midnight if the position is still open, so

are you factoring in swap given that some trades could be held for weeks/months even?

After a month we get on each day (left column days, right column swap bonus in AUD):

File Type: xlsx SWAP BONUS AFTER 30 DAYS ON AUDUSD LONG.xlsx   9 KB | 405 downloads


So after 30 days we get 209.25 AUD which is 136.24 € , given that we trade 0.01 lot size (1000 units ) only and start with 100€ account, thats a 136% growth in either way And thats the worst case scenario if we have a bad trade that we must hold for months.

Of course the optimal situation is that we make 5-6% return/day depending on the markets ranging-ness.

Besides the AUD/USD was mostly in uptrend in the last 20 years, hmm maybe we even have an edge on long trades
And the spread is still the best, from the pairs which can be carry traded, 13-14 pipette on average, so its worth a try

What do you think guys?

I think you should consider volatility for what you are trying to do. Perhaps you want to look at the logic of if X trades does not come back in Y days, start trading Z pair. It's the only way you don't shut yourself down for extended periods if you get caught in a trade. Find a way to trade around a bad position. Lots of ways to do it depending on your risk and what you like to do.

I dont think thats a wise idea because our capital is locked in to that long trade.If we were to add more positions, and they would go against us aswell, that would double the chance for a margin call.

Adding more positions or averaging is not very wise ,i`ve ran many simulations, and it all turned out even if i hedge the position it would still give us a MC.

Retail traders just dont have the capital necessary for hedging effectively, and this system will try to minimize that risk.You dont want to risk a 50.000$ account on this strategy, because its a gambling anyway.

Only start with a very small account you can easily afford to lose, and from there we must maximize our gains.With 5-6% / day its easy to reach 1 million $ in a year even with 100$ start

And the losses are reduced to the bare minimum.

You're better off setting your leverage high but only using 0.01 per 100 euros in your account. That way your margin requirement is low but you're not actually using excessive leverage.

Long only on audusd, really?!

It's interesting that Sony hasn't put a euro symbol on their Vaio on British keyboards yet. Do they know something we don't? ;-)

Yes but we wont use 0.01 forever, it will increment anyway, with 0.5 account risk it will be a slow, but steady incrementation.

Besides the broker has the right to modify the leverage at higher capitals, so its not very realistic to run a 1m$ demo account with 1:400 leverage or so.Nobody would give you that much, plus with higher capital, the lot will increase aswell so that will increase our risk of MC.

So we should find a balance between this 2 problems: higher leverage to not pay so much margin requirement, but lower enough to lower our chances of MC when the lot will be incremented.

Yes we will enter only long on AUD/USD when our indicator will tell us to, preferably after retracements.I will write the entire strategy detailed, but i`m still backtesting some configurations, it takes me hours to run a backtest (over 70 GB tick data i have only on AUD/USD)

What is your plan if you buy the monthly high or sell the monthly low? Those are points in the chart where price is not going to come back. Happens every month.

No we will use the same strategy, small trades with 40-50 pipette TP, but only trade in the LONG direction, and when the price goes agains us, we still get the swaps, because we were LONG.

Its a win-win situation, only the MARGIN CALL can f*k us up

Wait a little bit, i will soon write down the entire system detailed, but let me finish the backtests first.
