Before leaving indicators and mt4, I used Fisher transforms. Fisher transform should not repaint after the candle closes. When in doubt, just use mladen's indicators from the forex tsd. Just google "mladen fisher transform" and you should be able to ...

My Most Accurate Indicators

Hi abokwaik, Something occured to me which I thought I could share. It is slightly out of the box, and I haven't seen it on the thread yet. It might be interesting to test robots in the contrarian mode, i. e. if the signal is to sell, it should buy ...

Need4Speed Scalping

Oanda is IMHO great because you can specify arbitrary trade sizes, you can for example play with well calibrated baskets (which is cool for martingale buffs, which may want to be very close to the perfect triangular hedge), and you don't need a lot ...

Is This Kind of Thing Typical at Oanda?

I have good experience with Oanda. Have you checked some other broker's mt4 - you can apply for a demo at some other broker, for example fxcm, and check whether there was a compatible spike? If there is none, you have a good argument on your side. ...

Price is everything

You are likely to lose your 700 dollars if you start trading live. Instead of demo, I would suggest opening a 20$ Oanda account and trading with 1-10 units (0.0001-0.001$) until you find your way. Cheers, k

What is the best broker for beginners

This was something we used to call transient and recurrent zones at the Similarity thread, now proudly standing in the Recycle bin. I made some ugly code which did the statistics for it in mt4. The problem is of breakouts from the range, when large ...

Leftovers at the dinner table, re-testing opening levels

My impression is that this system is going to work incredibly well during trends. However, a slow week will ruin most of the profits, and this is what happened this week. The only pairs with a significant trending action on D1 during the last ...

HA_Rider (A Robots Lab EA)

Also note that in the backtests there are periods of significant length where ea is losing money. If your forward tests were of short period compared to the backtest time, it could also be that it is coincidental, i. e. that the current market phase ...

Looking for experienced traders/coders to explain backtest result

Some of the best threads are in the commercial section or in the trash... k
