{quote} Sorry Billyon, your answer is not completely clear, sorry. Do you mean yes indeed these settings would also work on 1.1 only or yes indeed my forward test show something else?
they work on 1.1 or 1.0 together or separately.

So far!!!

look back to page 17 for backtest on these settings from Sekhbet

the whole idea was that this setting did very well regardless of trend direction. That gave me the idea to run it in both directions simultaneously, but yes it works in 1.1 only.

Management is required. Huge DD can happen, thus the max 50% DD i'm testing. 20% max was tested last week and many accounts were challenged and some blew up.

Test multi 1.2 , 1.5, 2 and 1.0

Remember it's the setting. This won't work on just any setting...

Pairs EU, GU, UJ, UCad.

This was only today, from US open till 3h before it closes.

You were running 4 pairs on 1 account with more that .01 lots? I would recommend at least 500$ per one pair at 0.01 lot, at least. If you play with multis, 1k.

Best to skip FOMC completely. These big news days have caused havoc every time...

Initial lot higher??? Why those 4 pair?

Was wondering the same thing. All have USD...something happens to USD, all those pairs become volatile. Should diversify a bit IMO. Best, Josh

About the pairs: it was just a test, as I saw someone around testing them with good income. And the time of trade, as well.

About the lots: yep, I agree, just wanna see how far it would go.

About the news: yes, everyone should stay away from most red ones.

I'll be watching you guys tests, as I can't do it myself right now. Hope we can find settings for each 'type' and 'change' of market.

How to select right deposit and lot. If we look at distribution of local trends, we may see that each local trend we may cover (~100%) in around 900 pips. {image} What it's mean? If your step size set to 10 (100 pips), generally EA should not open over 9 orders. So your lot size and deposit should withstand 9 open orders. Increase it up to 2 or 2.5 times, i.e. 18+ open orders and make appropriate changes in your lot size and deposit. For other pairs you need see distribution of their local trends.
Important

Does anyone have this tool or GT can you shed light on how I can produce this for myself for exploring step and lot sizes?

Thanks

{quote} Unfortunately my long investigation led to the conclusion that the stop loss destroys profits as well as the spread. Perhaps the stop loss is a reasonable to use in a long term trading, but not in the intra-day. Because impossible find the perfect pattern (or i cannot) that repeats itself over and over again, even when using mathematical statistics and neural networks. In addition, who loves GUI-CLICK trading, all technical indicators do not show anything what is happening on real market. Their effectiveness in around 50% (thus there is...

So for me, I must agree...

Max DD, Stop loss, Trailing stop... None has proven a benefit in my near 3 months of testing. That's why I test. I must find out and understand for myself. With the basic backtest results from MT4 you cannot consider the max DD% as viable since it does not represent the full grid's DD. So this means to me that my max DD must be my entire risk capital. Either you win or the account blows. Have a management plan the extracts profits quickly and leave only risk capital. So leave half your investment funds at home while betting with the other half in a all or nothing fashion. I will be proceeding with this in mind.

Hello guys,
after testing I already setup my new settings.

Attached Image


I use only 1.1 version with these settings and I am still live after yesterday FOMC storm. Now I use 2 accounts with 2 pair on each with 3000 deposit (1500 USD per pair and 0.01lot). I would like to go without big DD with 1% gain per day, so its the reason for this setup.

1st account EURUSD and GBPUSD http://www.myfxbook.com/members/rama...-eu-gu/1190221
2nd account USDCAD and USDCHF http://www.myfxbook.com/members/rama...uc-uch/1165643

My pc running especially from Frankie open to New York close. Open trades are open all night without me.
I am really thinking about closing all trades with New York close to avoid market moves without me. It will be safer as BillYon said few posts back
If you check my yesterdays stats you can see huge DD about 50% (because of 1.2 multilot factor) -> change settings to 1.1

I hope it will help you in your testing!

Thank you for sharing the data. 1500 is a very good balance per pair, but be careful of the multi. As you have experienced, it can take you out similarly how high leverage takes out lots of traders.
What I would love to see in the next version is hedge,DD shutdown, margin shutdown and more options in general, some sort of backtest capability? One can only Hope.
Best, Josh.

Something isn't right. On all of my live accounts, I have no trend with the real accounts error. On my demo account (currently I only have one) every thing is working perfectly. GT, if you are going to do something blocking live accounts then I think we can accept as I think all understand that this is a business but you should say it so we will know.

Hey fxtrader,
2 weeks ago this happened to me.that 's why to avoid this kind of problem im using a trade copier, so basically i copy my trade from a demo account ( i have no idea why it doesn t work nicely on live account) to my live account, and so far i don t have any issue.

Since you say you have no issues, out of curiosity which trade copier are you using?
