Jaws, I don't want to sound rude, but I think you are just throwing darts w/o really thinking about what you are trying to accomplish. And, you need to backtest, whether it's visual or rigorous... Before throwing away your original idea, you should ...

Good analysis, but note. My results were Jaws' original system. Open only 1 trade per day at a given time. Therefore, the system I tested is a likely loser because losses (aka many positions) form an exponential negative equity curve whereas gains ...

This was 1 trade per day. I've done x pips (also known as grid trading) with similar results. BUT, I did not do it using two sub-accounts, I'll see if I can dig out those results...

Yup, I do EURUSD for the spread, liquidity, etc, but for this idea, no go..

Final Results — Before anyone asks, here are two results for 2010 using 100pip and 20pip targets. 100 pip is painful as it went 133 positions + 41 positions the other direction, logically. 20 pips is interesting as the most dual positions I ...

And 2011 Results — Who needs sleep??? Tested 2011 using same criteria and settings in prior post. Here is the year's price action: image As you can see, a bit choppier, beginning of the year and end of the year were main trends, while chop ...

Rigorous Testing — As a student of averaging and backtesting, I seem to always come away with either broken ideas or broken accounts. Probably one reason why I've basically left forex for the foreseeable future. But enough about me. Check out ...

No tradeoffice, but I was able to close positions and cancel orders using their Android smartphone app, luckily. Now I get "internal database error" when logging into Desktop Pro and their website is down too...

Justin, Don't know if it helps, but Desktop Pro did not have charts until ~20min ago (although I have not been checking frequently). Don't know if it's related...quote feed looked good the entire time, but I did not try trading live/demo. Enjoy the ...

MB Trading Futures - Introduction

My Desktop Pro does not have charts today, but since it is US Bank Holiday, I was not planning on trading (no overnight positions either). I did not try my backup computer to see if it is related to my computer or MBT. I was prompted and did upgrade ...

Have you read my posts? I am Mr. MBT, Fanboy Extreme, just ask Quad. No, what I am saying is that IF the new issue with FreeEXN-MT4 is the same as what plagued PFL-MT4, is should be an easy fix. The symptoms are the same, but we don't know the ...

Duh, plus I was thinking of ask side limits, not buy side, not enough caffeine this morning... Yeah, watching it frame-by-frame and assuming LP's use 500 micro size, there were no small bids anywhere near best bid-ask for at least 10pips. Only when ...

Smart, very smart, and something I've considered, esp. seeing Tricello's post yesterday. Still does not explain how I received 9.2pips slippage as there must have been resting limit orders between mine and the market, although, I was just doing a ...

That speaks volumes, especially, since they could just apply the 'fix' that worked with PFL-MT4 to the FreeEXN-MT4. Sounds like they should use some of that $1M rebates paid money and hire another programmer or two (but please don't as I like my ...

but I don't like it. It was a fast market, but not that fast, if I can remove all my acct info from my screen recording, I'll post the video of the trading.

MB Trading Futures - Introduction

Slippage — MBT is beginning to worry me, as I stated in my response to Quant, their order matching cannot keep up with fast markets (at least from what I can 'see' on Desktop Pro). Also, seems like a new ~150 micro lot trader was on today and ...
