Not an arb strategy. Simply requires zero commission and very low spread. Dax on the FTMO trial account was perfect. Large lot trading with very tight stops that trail.

FTMO - For serious traders

I don’t think you guys are getting it. Thomas has already offered to look at someone else’s HFT EA, which is why I asked the question. It might just be that HFT EAs don’t work well with FTMO’s copy trading model, and if that’s the case, fine. Or it ...

FTMO - For serious traders

I will await an official response from FTMO (Thomas). Nothing “entitled” about my message to him. Within the last couple of weeks he has replied to someone saying they will have a look at their HFT EA, so it was a reasonable assumption on my part ...

FTMO - For serious traders

personally I have found there is a very high likelihood of the 12-4am range break producing 10+ pips after 8am UK time. An even higher likelihood of it producing 10+ pips at the opposite end if the original break fails to make 10+ pips.

Yes that’s one way to do it. Or you could use a different trigger. For example the 12-4am range break on GU. Or a different instrument/trigger. But you are now thinking along the right lines. Personally I would not use the 8:15am trade to fix ...

Avery there’s no magic formula. If we knew of a fixer trade which would ALWAYS fix the 8:15am failed trade, we would just trade that as the main trade instead. What would be the point of trading the 8:15am trade at all? Think about it. Here’s a ...

Hi Michael. Good to see these range breaks are working for you. I have noticed that you tend to aim for 4-6 pips normally which is fine as it makes it easier to hit your target. But what about your risk? Are you making your SL the other side of the ...

Hi Thomas, I have done a few free trials with FTMO. Please see the result of my latest one using an HFT EA. However, when I tried the EA on an actual FTMO challenge, it did not work. Most days ended in a loss. I thought the conditions of your free ...

FTMO - For serious traders

Avery, read the above post from June this year. The information contained within this post should set you on the straight and narrow hopefully. As I say in the post, all of the information I have gleaned has been from this forum, from the ...

Thanks Lem. I knew I got my inspiration from somewhere lol. I will be sure to take a look

Could probably trade your hour bar with the EA as well Claudia. Would work nicely to catch big spikes with the trailing stop feature. Just a thought.

Happy birthday Billy. The spike down must have been a nice prezzie for you.

Thanks Lem. I know you prefer UC as your top DZ candidate. And generally when it is butted up against supply/demand. SPX generally works fine as well, and a quick visual would agree with this. The risk reward is normally quite attractive at around ...

It hasn't failed more than twice in quite some time. It decided to do it today lol. I followed it for 3 breaks, then called it a day. It made the points and then some on the 4th break. I think I should stick to the '2 breaks and move on' philosophy.

Playing the dead zone break on SPX this afternoon. Break of the 12pm - 1pm bar. Has been working fine for ages, but as soon as I pay attention to it, of course it looks like it will start whipping. In a short trade, looking for 10. Looks like we are ...

Hi all, Please find attached the latest version of the range break EA. I stumbled across a problem with the other one - the max loss per day setting wasn't quite working right. Let me know if you encounter any issues with this one please.

Billytt Die happy trading e/j daily breakout

Pretty decent all in all mate. I have been thinking and breakout trading works well most days, but you also get days where price keeps bouncing around inside the range. I wonder if there is a way to get a smoother equity curve (albeit smaller ...

GU 12-4am break long failed to get my 20, and then short (double lot) failed as well. Another small-ish ADR day so far. Got my 500 points on Gold however (1-1:15pm break North) so that's some consolation I suppose.

Billytt Die happy trading e/j daily breakout

In a long trade 12-4am range break. These spikes are dodgy as heck, and I have almost been stopped out, almost. If the range breaks South, I will be going in with double the lot size and take it from there. 2 breaks, and then I'm out.

Billytt Die happy trading e/j daily breakout

1pm-1:15pm range break on Gold. 500 points on long break and then 500 points on short break. Not bad but have had a couple of losing days on Gold so still recovering from that.
