Yeah, I took a pretty big hit with the EUR movements today. I'll be fixing the problems next week I hope. Back to Square 1 this week, I'm afraid.

Frosty's Daily Trades - 100/40 1D EA method

NanningBob is right, use the tool, it's very helpful, but lets keep this thread on the 100x80 topic so as not to make things confusing

100 x 80 EA oh boy

I failed to mention, I'm trying to work out about 4-5 different settings for different currencies. Each setting would attempt to cover 80% of days on each specified pair. So, a 200 spread setting would only work on a very few pairs. I wrote the ...

Here are the spread levels I'm looking to find settings for: 200 pips 250 pips 300 pips 450 pips 600 pips I'm looking to balance the reward:risk ratio along with the Max Down Draw and profit. Take a look at this setting:

NanningBob, take a look at this. Something interesting happens with the below settings, your reward is greater than the risk (4:3) Max Draw Down is in absolute value to make things easier.

What are the settings you are using? ie, what's the multiplier set to and whats the max trades set to?

I'm currently using Bastardv04 with AWE set to TRUE and FUNKY set to TRUE. Basically, it's designed to follow the trend using AWE on a 4 hour time scale. Still using: Multiplier: 1.5 TakeProfit: 100 Pip spread: 40 MaxTrades: 8 Or, the '100x40'. I'm ...

I made this little spread sheet to help folks (mostly me) very quickly and easily do the math and see what the changes are when you adjust the multiplier, take profit, pip spread, and max trades. I hope this helps. PS. 'Coverage' shows you what the ...

100 x 80 EA oh boy

To quote a favorite fictional character: "never give up, never surrender" The 100/40 method is sound and in the long run you will come out ahead. I've slightly modified it and now use the bastardv04, but it's the same concept, just different signals.

Frosty's Daily Trades - 100/40 1D EA method

Yes! Sorry for the late reply, life has been rather crazy lately. I'm currently running 7 pairs and going for a daily goal of $25 instead of $50. Once I get the account back up to arround 2k, I will open up a few more pairs and shoot for $50 a day ...

As you can tell, I've been rather busy for the past week. Hence, I have not been posting much but I am still trading and keeping the live stats going. I closed all of my trades last night with a small profit for the week and after about $50 drop due ...

Frosty's Daily Trades - 100/40 1D EA method

Bob, I've looked at the same issue. From what I can find, the only way to do it when you are using multiple EA's is to use a DLL and pass variables to it. That's beyond my talent. They are supposed to be giving us a fix for this in MT5 when it comes ...

From the way I understand it, they have very minimal control. They (like most other forex brokers) offer retail (stuff to us) using other, much larger brokers that we don't have access to. Hence, they pass down prices and spreads and probably add on ...

Honestly, there is no 'normal'. Almost every week, you will see something that has you scratching your head. The current US market crisis is being felt with greater force around the world. Great Britain is having serious issues as well as most other ...

And here I was, making a few bucks and then WAM!! Alas, I need to stay out this week it appears. Moves are just too big for little ol me.

here we go again. Seriously, I need to drop the GBPJPY, it's going to send me to an early grave.

Is This My Holy Grail EA :D

bob or salon, could you give me a run down of the logic behind how you are using the pivot points? It's apparent that going past both R1 and R2 or S1 and S2 is bad, but I'm not totally clear on exactly what your 'rules' are.

Is This My Holy Grail EA :D

preliminary tests show that the current solution works in this version. Looks like I had to REALLY simplify things in the EA. give it a shot (demo) to see if it did the trick. So far, it's actually doing what it's supposed to do for me. the next ...

Currently, the 100/40 EA is designed to make money on the retrace. If it's buying in the trend direction the majority of the time, it doesn't make as much money. This is something I have captured as an option in my bastard ea. But as bob has stated, ...
