I FINALLY found a hourly strategy that works on all pairs I trade - I didn't think I would ever find one - I have been looking for one at least couple of years and this is better than I ever hoped - and once again pretty simple one (but not ...

Systematic trading

Probably because it looks so useless (It can be even lower tf) If you want to hear my opinion, it's wise to forget martingaling and focus on finding multiple systems that work on different markets. That way you will have a very nice combined ...

Best place in the world to trade from?

I was just wondering if this is just experimental (simulated) stuff or real world, slippage + spread tested material. Great to hear that this is working for you.

Optimized Risk vs Reward Equation

Twoblink, That's quite interesting, I have been thinking of doing a bit similar work in the past with decision trees using evolutionary algorithms - my plan never was to have safe version, more kind of optimizing alpha. I would however tie every ...

Optimized Risk vs Reward Equation

Wouldn't that require that the price movement inside the original order [meaning between original SL and your exit position] to be in some way non-chaotic?

Optimized Risk vs Reward Equation

One thing might be that I always ignore sunday bars.

Volatility Adjusted Stops

How long backtests have you done? How were the results on 1 min data? Can you post 10 year graph? I understand if you don't believe in them but it's still relevant to many people (including myself). One year of results doesn't tell that much really. ...

Fulltime247 - Managed Account (Nice Profit,Low Risk)

Here is my version from last night, it's written from scratch (I had my own bollinger bands implementation so I just took the stdev calculation there). They definitely are not the same, there are some clear differences.

Volatility Adjusted Stops

Aren't you basically talking about keltner channels vs bollinger bands? That would be the easy way to compare the exit points visually. Very good question however. I have to do some studies myself too. This is interesting link related to this (if ...

Volatility Adjusted Stops

In fact my strats have worked, they just haven't worked as well as before. I assume it's because there has been much more high volatility whipsaw periods than before - lower "trendiness" even though I don't have any formula to measure it. I assume ...

Wait until you have been doing the job you are planning to do for about 10 years. Then come back and re-read this post.

Isnt a service career more satisfying then trading?

Yes, lots of orders at that level. Not a big surprise is it?

EURUSD

Please don't let this thead to turn into argument about whether a market is random or what exactly randomness is. There are already a few threads about this so they are a much better place to discuss about this. For example this thread is almost ...

Strategy of losers

Because it's not true. I always like to link to this book (free, downloadable) when people claim that market is random. url

Strategy of losers

Just noticed this thread - I want to point out something, EURUSD has not been the pair it used to be last 9 months. Long term (~10 years at my tests) at least with my strategies EURUSD is by far the most profitable pair. However this of course ...

Strategy of losers

Because testing is what sucks in metatrader, charts, trade statistics and such are quite okay.

Systematic trading

Well I already have a working trading implementation ("EA"). Yes I probably pay a bit more on commission at the moment but at this point, I'm happy with what I have and it works. In the future I probably code another trading implementation but I'm ...

Systematic trading

Well it's more of a vice versa, I was using mt4 before I built my own framework and believe or not but almost all the traiding apis there are on brokers are quite horrible and far from easy to use. With mt4 I'm at least able to switch brokers when I ...
