{quote} Max bars is fine. On an M1 chart, as long as there are consistently 1440 bars, the trend is being effectively calculated. 200:1 is a little tight, but will make for a decent test. Where your draw goes in excess is by the amount of leverage being consumed by having lower than recommended leverage, but if it is still surviving, you are doing okay. When I started with grids, I was working with a lot greater lot size than current. Typical was 25 pips and the trigger on grid, meaning that 25 was still the lowest, but could still greatly range...
Thanks Magix. Always nice to wake up and having a nice read with a good cup of fresh beans (again)
So it should be better to have a less tight leverage of 500:1. Not necessary but better. I take that into account.
Upcoming week I will test in Demo the Live strategy and setup again including news schedule or like you name it the matrix. To be sure I am still very confident about this piece of art.
Hopefully we know what is going to happen after 2th of July with this great EA that I definitely going to work with.

A tip for all:
For changing FKIC settings in a batch like way for example your news schedules for 1 to 28 or more pairs i am using a great /script from Bauta here on FF. It is called 'ApplySettingsToAll'.
It works like this: Change your EA settings on only one TF / Pair (don't have to save the set file) and then drop the script on that TF and it will change/update ALL open TF's / Pairs in the background. Found out that it is generic so not only for his specific EA.
Works like a charm ! Done. 10 seconds and your good to go.
Don't know if i can share this here in your thread so i just point to his thread like this and all credits goes of course to Bauta. If i have to delete this let me know.

Have a great weekend !

If things go well this weekend, the commercial version may be available for trial for Next Week!

It should be the same as you would use live only thing that will change through the use is the expiry and of course the key having to match the account.

I am looking through the modifications to the EA...and have to say that this shit is Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay over my head.
The triggering entries and exits and all logic is the same, but it is coded for commercial application.
It has been re-assembled with all of the latest modifications only re-written for efficiency.

I've never really considered the order of code as applied to the triggering options, but apparently, this is to make it operate with less load and calculations, making it a lot lighter on the resources and better for accuracy...less lag created by code tripping over it's own nuts, so to speak.

Seriously, this is some of the kewlist shit I've come across in my limited scope of working with code.

I've loaded 28 pairs into the thread Trade Explorer.

Have a look through the stats for the week coming and cherry pick through the results for highest probability traders.

I will be working on this weeks matrix and will post it when I'm done.

Still going to be a bit of a rough terrain, but will be interesting to see if market normalizes over the next week.

Currently working on "The Alternate".

As has been mentioned previously, if I can effectively find a strategy that will play out reasonably on High Impact News Days, we can make the decision if we want to sit these days out, or trade "The Alternate".

Recognizing that the range of these days will play outside of trend and has in past and definitely through the Brexit Bullshit, started off in trend and had its ass handed to it by not enough range to trigger defensive positions, a faster read on these may be a solution.

Having studied the previous falters of the Falling Knives through NFP and other various press plays, there is a general commonality that is easily read through the template that was provided.

I don't think that I will get everything correct on the first try...and I still haven't effectively worked out the same idea behind the wussy close for a faster strategy, but if this is what is trading during alternate days, and still uses the Drag the Dead, I might be able to altogether remove the need for an applied wussy exit strategy on the alternate.

It's going to take a lot of beer to get through this...

Do you see the sacrifices my liver takes for you people?

"The Alternate"

Aggressive as fuck to begin with and if I believed in Backtest reports, I'd post it...but the idea seems sound enough. I only have half of the logic written as far as entries and exits go, but it's actually fairly decent.

The Alternate is following what I was going to propose in a new thread as "The Lost Sock Trade Strategy".

The Lost Sock...

So...here's the scenerio:
1. Wash clothes.
2. Dry clothes.
3. Fold clothes.
Pretty fucking easy so far, right?
BUT
What if your socks don't match up when you get to the end of Laundry?

HOW?
WHERE does that motherfucker even go?

So...it occurred to me, to line up the socks before you put them in the washing machine and you should have the same line up when dry...right?
But
If you lose a sock, you can't be sure if that motherfucker escaped in the washer or dryer if they don't line up at the end...

So... then it occurred to me that if you count your socks going into the wash and count them before they go in the dryer...if one disappears, the fucking dryer ate it.
If one disappears before going into the dryer, the washer ate it.
Mystery Solved!

But...what you will find, is that if you do this, you never lose a sock.


And then it comes down to this...
Who the fuck wants to count either dirty dry socks before they go into the washing machine? Or count wet socks before they go into the dryer?

Well...not me.

So...What to do?

Goes like this.

When I lose a sock in the laundry, I throw the motherfucker back into my hamper. The next time I do laundry, it seems like the lone soldier, going into battle without a mate, right?

But...here's the outcome!

If you do this enough times, at some point, you end up with an even balance on paired socks.

TA DA!


Wait, whut?
Really, that easy of a solution?

Fuck yeah, it is!

Really, there is only 2 possible outcomes on this.
1. Your sock finds its lost mate in the Bermuda Triangle that is lostsocksville of laundry...
2. The lone sock goes missing, in which case you are still left with an even load.

The outcome is, you end up with evenly matched pairs.
(This assumes that all of the socks you buy are exactly the same in brand and color)
Which they fucking should be, because, why would you buy mismatched socks?
Who even does this?

Now, I've got some 200 pairs of socks. All same brand, same size, same color.
Why?
Why the fuck not?

If I lose a sock, where am I supposed to keep the odd one?
Just throw it out?
Pshhhhhhhhhhhhhh...that's crazy talk!

The lost sock strategy as applied to trades...same deal.
If it's wash time and you have a lost sock, keep washing that motherfucker until your socks come up samsies.
If it's dry time and you have a lost sock, keep drying that motherfucker until your socks come up samsies.

Makes sense...doesn't it?

One comment here: You have to have an 'even' number of socks before you throw it in the washing machine. Only counting will not tell you that one sock could already be eaten by the dog from the neighbours.

Truth be told, I got brain hiccups when you started talking about losing socks, Magix.
I love my socks if one of them goes missing I won't be a pretty face to look at, I can tell you that.

As for the 50$ bill. IF it hadn't been the BREXIT, you can assume it would have carried farther, judging by the myFXbook link.

That's why I keep some 200 pairs...If one goes missing, I'm not as worried.

Nice work ! Thanks Magix. It is getting real now. Live with 1600 balance will start this week with 4 Pairs and then I will see to expand slowly and not doing manual trades anymore !
But hey still managed to get back to BE balance after some stupid actions from myself so looking at the positive side I made 600+ $ last weeks with approx 7 Pairs.
I also build up my i7 backbone again @home with Windows 10 and will trade Live 24/7 (ex. News) from that baby. Leaving my laggy VPS for a while. It is just working better remote wise.

Make sure you have the latest version, check those keys out and let me know if you get an Expiry Date posted in the top right hand corner.

As I have mentioned...licensing has changed a little and with this version, once the license expires, the EA unloads itself from the chart.

Watch closely, moving forward.

Just noticed...

FF posts only allow so many characters and then will add in a space.

Where there is a space in the key, you will need to backspace this out when applying key.

Account check failed is the popup message. Tried it also without the two spaces in the key.
It is not added to the TF.
