I commend your efforts, but running EA's for specific dates / times and hoping for good results will not work in live where the spreads and trading enviroment is somewhat different (slippage through delayed execution, outages, freezes, etc). Ideally ...

Best Trades With "Floting EA"

Hope you're all getting on ok. Seems that way. Remember what gramps used to tell you... empty vessels make the most noise. Focus on your trading and it will pay off in the end. Need a ton of patience in this game. Don't let others test yours, the ...

"AUSSI" my thread and anything I want to put here

The first thing a broker and liquidity provider will do is to ensure you cannot make a riskless profit. This means you have to have an edge somewhere. As someone who has the missing 90%, I'll check back in a few months and see how far the followers ...

Soul's Thread

No offence intended if it came across that way. If you are keepung the losing trade fixed and re-applying the winner with a stop loss you will eventually make a loss in costs. It doesn't matter what price does you will be ground down in the end. If ...

Soul's Thread

A simple test of any idea for me would be, how much would it make from a 100 point drop and a 100 point reversal to the same point? In this case the answer is nothing but a whole heap of trading costs. Commission, spread and swap. Maybe I'm not ...

Haha yeah you ain't kidding, life certainly not a bed of roses. I've got a level down in gold around 1662 just ahead of QL4, just something I'm working on. Still don't trade alot of gold, too used to the turtle EURUSD lol. Last few days I can see ...

"AUSSI" my thread and anything I want to put here

Hey, new thread, poor old Aussi must drop in to say hi. Now then, much needed skill oft not talked about, working your way out of a mess! If you can do that, makes trading a hell of a lot easier on the mental state. Takes a shit ton of practice but ...

This is one of the brutal truths for sure. Execution environment. Swing trading, leg trading, short term or whatever people call it is certainly one way to defeat some aspects of that.

The brutal truth of day trading

I don't know. It's a bit like asking a builder for advice about building something without knowing what it is. If you are using the Metatrader stack to execute your trades then you have always got to worry about the Virtual Dealer Plugin. This is a ...

FIXAPI in LD4. Bypasses MT4 bridge

The brutal truth of day trading

what do you think? The brokers themselves had to be STP/ECN. But t is the LP's behind that take the order, none of this B-book stuff. Been ran out of town on just about all of them. This was some time ago, so I'm not crying. Moved on since then.

The brutal truth of day trading

I had a pure statistical approach coded in C++, it worked fantastically well on the DAX and DOW for a few years until its "alpha robbing" properties came to the attention of the LP's filling the orders. Their blanket response was to delay order ...

The brutal truth of day trading

What do you mean when you say "a condition that exists within price that is independent of the market itself"? Does it mean that if you were to reveal that idea to this forum, the "market" could not act on price to close out your idea? What do you ...
