Which trading platforms are you programming for? You don't actually need an external API like random.org for that. That's more for high-security applications. Almost every programming language has functions for generating pseudorandom numbers. That ...

Couldn't the input values required for the script be obtained directly via some Darwinex API? That would eliminate the need for manual input.

What isn't entirely clear to me from the PDF. 1) It says the initial stop loss should be 20 points, but on the other hand, it says you should always close a position at a loss of 10 points. So why not just use an initial stop of 20 points? 2) It ...

If the system executes an order every half hour, it's not truly random, but still interesting. I'll code the system according to the rules mentioned in the PDF and run it in a separate demo account. That gave me also an idea I'd heard about before. ...

Tried looking at a GBP/USD 1-hour chart with an FVG indicator on it. I don't know, but based on that I will hardly be able to trade, as this doesn't really take into account the time I have available for manual trading, nor can I somehow foresee ...

Thanks for sharing. Yes, that's amazing. I also saw a study somewhere about a random trading system that delivered consistently profitable results over the long term. Unfortunately, I can't find the link anymore. However, I don't intend to try out ...

Well, it was already profitable for the 4 weeks before I started switching the portfolio to DAX, NASDAQ, and Gold. However, the drawdown was significantly higher when I was still trading the five indices, including the FTSE and S&P 500. I was told ...

Yes. For the ORB Strategy, I’m not waiting for a pullback. Orders are placed immediately on touch of my high/low ranges as defined by time and will continue to trigger until the end of the day (22:30 UTC). Overall I start to believe the real magic ...

I now understand the basic concept of FVGs and will start testing it manually and exclusively for GBP/USD from tomorrow, for the time I have available (first 4 hours of the London or New York Session). I will try to identify FVGs on the 1-hour chart ...

Yes. I simply wanted to show two trades I made today using the ORB strategy I've been implementing so far. It's obvious that different approaches lead to different results. - Did I follow my strategy as described and tested? - Yes - Did I adhere to ...

Thanks. I looked into the FVG Unicorn Method, and it seems there are many different variations. Generally, the FVG methods appear to be better suited to higher timeframes, which raises the question for me: would I even get enough signals if I were ...

Yes, that's true. You might be better off there if you have specific questions about quantitative trading. However, you'll probably find less help there showing you how to generate a repeatable minimum income from trading that you can live on and ...

Here's the result of my 10K challenge that I attempted in June. Back then, I had no fixed system or plan and relied solely on gut feeling. It actually went well; after 49 days, I was at +8.2% of the required +10% in Phase 1. Unfortunately, I then ...

Looks good. You could potentially risk a little more per trade without jeopardizing the maximum drawdown, in order to speed it up. I will buy a 100k Challenge in the next few days and try it out again.

My FTMO trial account. Looks good so far, I'll now try another challenge with the ORB system. This time probably for a 100k challenge. So far, I haven't found a solution for Future Props that would allow copying from MetaTrader 5 to NinjaTrader or ...
