tdion replied Mar 22, 2007Might I suggest a straddle instead of a hedge. A hedge requires paying spread on both positions. Instead of a hedge, straddle the position C pips from the start, and then play the retracement with a single position. You come out slightly better, ...

tdion replied Mar 22, 2007Scott I think what happens is that the hedge's trailing stop changes the instant the positive trade closes. You are betting that the momentum will continue in the opposite direction so that the trailing stop can close at above breakeven or positive. ...

tdion replied Mar 22, 2007To make a long story short, no pending orders should be opening with the newer PS2s. My backtester wasn't opening all pendings so I put a hedge in place (which has the same effect as the pendings) The "real" version will have pendings (which saves ...

tdion replied Mar 22, 2007I get it. The only way to lose on the trade is if the price moves "D" pips against you after you close the first position. In which case, the losing hedge cancels your closed trade and net "-D" pips. If the losing hedge moves for you, and your ...

tdion replied Mar 21, 2007Poulis, This is not good. The EA was only supposed to open ONE trade in the past week.... a buy on 3/14. I don't know why it is placing so many orders. You are lucky that the trades are going in your favor. Obviously this EA is not ready for prime ...

tdion replied Mar 20, 2007Thanks Zaphod. USD/JPY is not profitable in backtests. In fact, H1 EURUSD is the only profitable pair I've found, which is why it's the only graph I post.

tdion replied Mar 19, 2007W/ latest version, I have the last trade opened on 3/14. That trade might be from the consolidation breakout method, so you might not have it. The EA can go a week or two with no signals.

tdion replied Mar 19, 2007I'm glad you made this thread — Seems that a lot of traders are outsmarting themselves. 10 indicators on a single chart makes me uncomfortable. See this: url How can you honestly think that you can predict the future with a bunch of fancy ...

tdion replied Mar 19, 2007Art, I've felt that same feeling myself. Watching your money go up and down in real time is an emotional experience. My advice is to feel fully confident in your system before you trade it. If you need to, do more backtesting and forward testing. ...

tdion replied Mar 19, 2007I think this is an interesting thread. For me, 100% mechanical trading through EAs would be my only approach. I tried live trading and found myself become too emotionally involved with the price action. I felt like every second my money was changing ...

tdion replied Mar 19, 2007Here's the latest graph. After spreads, it's about 7,700 pips over 6 years. My goal is to get this up to 20,000 net pips over 6 years. It's tricky because you don't want multiple signals going off at the same time. If you look at my code, I've added ...
