Magix, bro thanks for your share, this thing is beast!
It's cash stocking machine I'd love to try it on more pairs, but the lot size is
a fix 0.10 without ability to change anything, Can you please make at least 1 settings
available so we can set Lot size, not mandatory of course but it will help to test it on more pair..
I got it on about 2k account and it hitting margin with 3 pairs, but it surely trade better than
98% traders on the street Thank you again... Subscribed!

Hey Magix, can Falling Knives be configured to work for us poor US traders, who are slaves to FIFO, 50:1, no hedging, etc.?

FIFO shouldn't be an issue, it will continuously hammer exits until all orders are closed.

As for the no hedging, simple solution is that it won't take the trades until the counters are closed anyways. Really not much of an issue.

As for the 50:1, I think it is trading .01 sized lots, not sure if any yankie brokers are running with smaller lot sizes.

My recommendations...stick to the M5 during NY session, or the M15 overall and you should be all good at defaults.

Of course, I do recommend that you try these first on a demo version of your live broker to make sure that all will go well. If it doesn't, let me know and I will see what can be done.

Pretty sure that lot size is .01....are you working with a 4 or 5 digit broker?

Bazze...it's still early to be hammering the live funds with this one, just yet.

However, if you check out the stats from Basill's account, linked to the thread, you will see the pair's he has running. Am pretty sure he is using the M1 chart with a 120 second delay, but maybe he will check in to verify.

As for the account I am testing...Pairs are available there as well, currently set to the M15 chart and 900 second delay.

Is not a good idea to change lot...
What if I had a $2k account and was playing a single pair on the hour?

Do you think I could move up to .02-.05 and be okay?

Trading on the M1 charts, I wouldn't encourage anybody go over the defaults, but as the system progresses and folks get a chance to see that trading on the longer time frames can produce more profits, I don't think that restricting the parameters is of any value.

Really...so far this week, we have seen some serious asskickery going on and all this, while we are breaking all the rules, right?



Your Caution should be duly noted by all.

Hello Magix,

Congratz to your sun (and to you for standing by him) and may your nakedness never gets covered in nasty mosquitoes. Or ants, for that matter.
And happy birthday, too!

Can you add an option for a magic number or trade comment or hard coded it into the EA if you don't want it open, please?
Also, not sure how the EA would react to it, but my broker is moving to a higher lot size as a minimum, will the EA open the minimum lot size required by the broker or try to open a 0.01 lot size trade?


Thanks for all your work, it's always a pleasure reading any thread you participate in, not to mention those you open yourself.

There is a Magic Number coded into the EA, currently 69, I can open up this option on revisions and maybe add in a comment for easier sorting/statistics.

As for you broker moving to a larger size minimim, I would have to imagine that the EA will automatically migrate trades to the smallest size lot available, but would rather you wait and test in a demo environment prior to going live and finding out that it either doesn't work or works grossly to your disadvantage.

I had put the finishing touches on my version of this ea 15 minutes after market opened and just made a share version for shits n giggles and really just wanted to see if it would play out as well in live as does when I observe the strat tester.

There are some other changes needed, logic side, and as time permits, I will get these sorted too. In time, whittle this down to a much better mouse trap and we can all enjoy the benefits.

Nice seeing ya back on one of my threads, brother!

Look forward to seeing a lot more from ya!

At the same time, I am providing a Play along at Home version, for free, limited by the number of options as well as how long it will actually work. The EA provided will only take trades until the 29th of February, 2016 and after that, will completely stop working.
So...you want traders to try your EA and after 29th of February,then EA will stop work-you will sell it...am I right?Otherwise I don't understand why you ''sharing'' your "holy grail"

Very strange....

Might have to play with Finfx for a few minutes to see if I can figure this out.

So far, every account I've run it on and seen is .01 or 10c lots.



Confusion is what I get for taking a couple of months off...

You are a shameful excuse for a Troll, even by Forexfactory standards here, champ.

Sadly, you have failed to do your homework before trying to shit in my house. It really wouldn't have taken you more than a couple of clicks to learn a little about me, but sadly, this too you've failed at.

You see, smart guy...I don't sell software, but if I wanted to, I wouldn't have to venture past my PM box to do that. But, let's see if you can find a single person to state that I've actually sold anything.

Ya can't because I don't.

Now, I have taken occasion to license and provide private software for others, but has always been under a Trade for Charitable Donations. Again, this wouldn't have taken you more than a couple of clicks to learn, but let me lead the bread crumbs for ya.

Here is what myself and a few others have been up to in past -> Link
Here is from my efforts with a lot of great people here at the Factory -> Link

So, dipstick.

I'd like to say it's been nice chatting with you, but it hasn't.

Now move along...I'm sure there are a lot of other corners of internet you haven't pissed in yet.
