Thank you so much TS, a honor having a comment from you! Nothing more true than that! I know very nice "systems" much easier than the 1-2-3 and HOLO, even with just two, even one "IF-THEN" boolean statements... and you don't need to look for any ...

Trading is as simple as 1-2-3

Very nice trade Eve, and very nice explanation, thank you so much! I also like very much looking at previous sessions ranges in my trading, and have also found some tricks for getting computers helping me a bit, even when I have no time for being ...

Trading is as simple as 1-2-3

Thank you for your reply Lemercenaire, and be sure: I am old enough not to be "touched" by "defensive" messages. You are also right: being very honest, I did not take the time to read > 200 pages of this thread. In spite of being member of FF "just" ...

Trading is as simple as 1-2-3

Dear Lawnman and MichaelG, THANK YOU so much for your WONDERFUL, exceptional answers, which, somehow, confirm some of my "suspects", at the end of the day. I will be very happy if anybody else (eventually TooSlow in person???) will comment on this ...

Trading is as simple as 1-2-3

Dear people, long lurker here and congratulations for this very nice thread, for the OP and for the discussion. It seems that there is a discussion about a real "edge" here, and I am referring to a wonderful post made by MichaelG that I am quoting ...

Hi people, If there is still anybody interested in these coding matters (advanced object-oriented coding in mql) here around, after all this time... Well, I wanted just to say that I have made some little progresses in the meanwhile, such that now I ...

Thank you so much Broketrader. I perfectly see the difference between the consrtuctor and the Initialize function, now, thank you so much. And, really, your material here is wonderful. I am now looking back to your implementation through ...

Learn New MQL Coding

Thank you very much Broketrader, and apologies for my late reply too. Your thread is really nice and I am going on in studying, using it as "practical examples" while reading the Eckel's "Bible" of C++. I am in the course of an interesting project ...

Learn New MQL Coding

Dear people, I realize that nobody is looking at this thread anymore. But, for those who should eventually find it in the future, as I did, please have some "debug" already done. In post #39, when putting two moving averages together, there is a ...

Dear Brokertrader, Dear Readers of this thread. I don't know whether anybody is still online: I am just so sorry to have discovered this wonderful "course" so late! I am posting anyway for the seek of correctness, while following, one by one, the ...

Hi people, very nice and important thoughts, surely. Keep them up. When writing important things, make it on notepad and then copy-paste them here. Strange things happen much too often... Bye BL

Hi silverpuma, no problem. Each one has his/her own strengths and weaknesses. Go to a casino, find a fair game, one that gives you 50% chances of winning and 50% of losing (that's just a theoretical casino). You have 6 coins in your pocket. At every ...

Hallo erik1. Now the math is no longer an opinion! (though it looks like not many people are interested in it!). Bye BL

Rags to Riches in 10 or 20 Trades - Simplicity at its finest

Hallo meshka! Thanks for the enthusiasm and also for the vouch! No: it's much easier than that. If you have REALLY (really? really? Oh, how I would like to see it) your edge of: p = 66% (you "win" two out of three trades) with a 1:2 risk/reward ...

Rags to Riches in 10 or 20 Trades - Simplicity at its finest

LOL! I hope, at least, that you get that the whole means good news for you! (Given that you have a system consistenly giving you 1.2 with 66% probability... THIS is the difficult thing!) Bye BL

Rags to Riches in 10 or 20 Trades - Simplicity at its finest

Dear erik1, I greatly appreciate you, and I think you are almost surely right about the practical small likelihood of the scenario proposed in this thread. But I would like to challenge your conclusion above, the literal one, also for completeness ...

Hi erik1, thank you so much for this very nice reply. Well: I am ignorant, as I told. I have never seen anything like 5:1 CAGR/DD generated by algorithmic system selection so far. ...Cannot tell you how I would like to! In the meanwhile I am making ...

My progress as a full-time investor & trader

Yes, it does, indeed, mim2005! Thank you so much. The question, IMHO, is now to see, coming back to erik1's stimuli, whether there is an evidence of "such kind of" edges to be stable, and to which extent, along time and possibly across markets. When ...

Hallo FXEZ, sorry for the delay and the very limited time now. No, I refer to the very recent research of Lopez de Prado on combinatorially symmetric cross-validation. Best regards BL
