And what about the timer for Renko? I'm very curious to see this puppy performing on a Renko chart. Regards.
What size bricks are you working with on your Renko Charts?

Still trying to match logic with the Renko ideas, may have to look a little different direction, but I think I might be onto something...

Hi,

I like the 10-12 pips brick sizes best, not a lot of noise and not a lot of waiting for bricks to form.


Thanks.

I've been doing a little bit of playing with a Momentum/Pyramiding strategy..currently looking at the M15 and greater. If I removed the Time Filter, working the bricks on a double trigger may prove to work out on the Renkos as well...

Just have to get the ideas all thrown together in my mind...map em out in code and lay em out for testing.

Prolly not going to happen this week, but may see something for the beginning of next week.

Didn't blow up...just having a bit of an off day, is all...

Weird trading day, but seen some nice recoveries so far on EURJPY and GBPAUD...be nice to see if we come back on GBPUSD and EURUSD.

At current, both accounts are still ahead on the week, but just holding on to that by the skin of their teeth.

FK5 is holding nicely on my TE, however, the demo accounts for my broker are very different from the cent accounts I'm using.

The amount of latency in trades definitely increases on live servers vs what most bucket shops use for Demo Accounts with the number of trades running.

One of the ways I have overcome this is to Clone trades from Demo to Live using fxblue, Trade Copier.

May not make a lot of sense as latency is latency, but at the same time, fxblue will hammer trades and closes more effectively than most EAs do.

I'm not sure, but there is a small delay when copying trades. Wouldn't that just increase the delay (latency) by adding even more steps?

I am up +40% on my live account after a little over 3 days of trading with FK5, as I started it late on Sunday. I started it at 8 pairs and added 2 pairs yesterday.

Are you trading on a live account yet Magix ??

The answer is simply...yes and no.

Yes there is latency by adding in a copier, but there too are issues with live servers freezing during volatility. The nature of these beasts rely on them properly completing orders in order to effectively close in profit.

And the only way I've found to do this with hundreds of active trades...is by cloning.

If you are trading a single pair or a couple of pairs...sure, go ahead and use the EA direct. Keep all other charts closed and make sure you've eliminated them your market watch and you "Should" be fine.

Awesome Job, Dude!


As for me, haven't launched live as of yet with FK5. I typically let them play out a week to ensure that code is solid before hitting them on my hard earned cash.

I'm running a little experiment with pairs that have a low, average daily range(eurgbp, etc.).
I don't expect much excitement, but I want to see how it affects DD. I'll post back if the results
are worth noting.

Thats funny you say that, because on my live account (10 pairs) top pairs have been: GJ, GU, and GCHF, but on my demo running 13 pairs its the GU, UJ, and GJ.

Would definitely be interested in seeing the results either way.

NFP should prove to be interesting for the Majors, but would be kewl to see how the minors finish off.

When did you get up and running?

Same broker?

What is the difference profit wise from Live to Demo?

{quote} Same broker? What is the difference profit wise from Live to Demo?
Profit wise between demo and live, well the live right now after 4 days of trading is sitting at +$958.00 or 54% ROI running 10 pairs. The demo running 13 pairs, is up
+$1,065.00 or 35.5% ROI.

So over all the live account is doing better considering that I started out running 8 pairs, and didnt add 2 more pairs till half way through. The demo is Pepperstone and the live is IC Markets.

The live account was started at a balance of $1,476.00 on Feb 22 with FK1, then I got out of all of my positions last Friday which costed me about $100 bucks. I then switched over to FK5 late on Sunday.

Result of this week 29 jan to 4 march, running 5 pairs (i usually stop my trading week before london open on friday that s why i release the result now.

Im comparing 3 EA all made by magix, FTL, FK2,FK5 ( with the help of GVC sometime)

FTL

max DD i have seen 285 euros (i use M1 chart)
Expectancy = 0.7

FK2
profit 520 euros last week (not available now)
max DD i have seen 210 euros (i use M15 chart, delay 900 seconds)
Expectancy = 21.7
trades=686
Less trades, but the EA let the winning trades run longer as you see expectancy is much higher. it s not strange to have 10 euros profit trade

max DD i have see is 95 euros ( i use M1 chart, delay 120 seconds)
Expectancy =4.7
trades=863
moure trades, the EA usually cut the trade earlier, i usually don t have profit more the 1 euro. usually less than 1 euro.
