No stop losses. To each their own. If you are willing to trade a strategy that can wipe out half your account in a single trade, go right ahead. On that same train of thought.... "cost averaging" systems are just as bad.... can you really predict a ...

Bash that system!!!

There are several systems (I won't name them) that talk about entered after a MA cross occurs on multiple timeframes (monthly, weekly, daily, etc) What is the problem with this idea? You are entering AFTER the majority of the move has taken place. ...

Bash that system!!!

My two cents here..... H1 data without underlying M1 data COULD give false backtests.... simply because MT4 will drop down to the lowest timeframe for entries and exits..... When you only have H1 data, the backtester won't know where to put the exit ...

Pivot Point Squeeze, high probability system

I like your thread, Mike. I've got M1 backdata going back several years on a number of pairs. Let me know if you'd like to run some backtests on them.

I think it is a cost of doing business, so I am pretty sure the answer is yes. At the end of the year, if you seperate your spread from winnings and losing trades, your "business performance" are the moves without spread, and the spread totals are ...

Why did this thread die? I didn't keep up with it.... haven't read it since about page 10 or so..... Did it look unprofitable? Thx

Simple Daily System

Yep look back a few pages and you'll see a nice 6 year backtest. It's been hot lately..... ice cold other years.......

High & Low 8 Hours (GBP/JPY)

Interesting. So w/ spreads, you are 105 Risk / 95 Reward. So the system must win 53% of the time to break even. Will be watching your results from afar and hoping for the best.

High & Low 8 Hours (GBP/JPY)

Brokers catch on to this and shut you down. That 30-40% is coming out of their overhead. How long has this worked for you?

How to turn 50k to 300k.

Nice idea, but where does the 36% come from? Are you trading fulltime to get 36%? Are you scalping (daytrading) or swing trading or both? Are you using fundamentals or TA? Sorry, but the real problem isn't finding a compounding system for growth, ...

What happened to the green/red bar indicator in Post #17? You remove it sometimes? For what reasons?

Pivot Point Squeeze, high probability system

Greetings Phil. Are you looking for a few pips/trade, or will you hold a position for days? Are you exiting based on a preconcieved SL, or do you exit when "it feels right?" -TD

To all the 1K club members!

Thank you, coder. Greetings. I have studied EURUSD USDCHF correlation strategies extensively. The past few years would have been a very good time to do this long term. However, the real question here is: "Have we missed the boat?" The old cliche ...

EUR/USD and USD/CHF Hedging Strategy

I can only read this stupid joke of yours on three different threads before I have to say "STOP IT." Thanks.

Firebird EA - fixed version -

Hello. First, I already have my own system, and am always looking for other ways to hedge my risk. That's why I come to new threads: to have an open mind and learn new things. My first post simply stated that there has only been one good year with ...

High & Low 8 Hours (GBP/JPY)

In your MQ4 code you can add this: if(IsConnected()) Comment("Connected"); else Comment("Not Connected"); That will let you know if the broker's server is communicating w/ your computer. PS) This is the same as you looking at the lower right corner ...

meta trader connection status

Good question. Suppose you are making lots of money with your system, whatever it is. At some point your lot sizes will escalate. From what I hear, I'd rather be putting huge trades into a real market than an artificial one. Plus, I just don't like ...

Any ECN that supports MT4 ?
