Ok, but an offline chart does get updated forming the bar/candle. I'm not an indicator guy and certainly not a coder, but I think it's weird that I have seen indicators repaint in live charts which didn't do the same in offline charts, even when I ...

Repainting: live vs offline charts

I trade through IB and so I am not interested in EA's. Trading through IB has some advantages, like spreads and regulatory things, and some disadvantages, no EA's, no basket stop (only for individual pairs), little added commissions, no alerts or ...

One thing, over the backtest period between sept 3 and oct 25 I counted roughly 14000 pips on the 12 basket, uc and gc reversed. Minor adjustments to the original system regarding entry and exit. The same period with basketchart adds more pips ...

There are some gaps in the data that has to be worked with using the basketchart and don't have the same gaps when I scroll back with the basketv6, any idea?

Is it using a stop to BE move at 150pip for the 14pairs basket?

Still Basketting

Right! Look back just a little further then the last weeks and see what's the w/l ratio, that will do. No strategy is perfect, no trader is. Only MM and logical judgement will help you survive in the markets we have seen today, no matter which ...

Guess the 560 pip stop is a hard stop and in most conditions you're long out and in a reverse trade before this hard stop is hit. Professional or not, yesterday/today is something that's happening once every four years. I am experienced enough to ...

Since we trade both long and short movements, just as the set-ups tell us, we don't know if all things are in sink until we have confirmation afterwards. Meaning, now we have a short, tomorrow a long followed by a small short and a massive long. MM ...

This, or something similar ... wait for fall back from the first momentum that triggered the change in direction and get in as soon as momentum gears again.

US elections, does anyone has to really tell you that it might be of any influence, maybe a traders own responsibility? When looking at both yesterday's long and even this morning's long, both trades were to be set at BE after reaching 150 pip ...

For this moment you do have a point, but there has been a few occasions in the last two weeks that resulted in large spikes and fast swings. Two weeks of trading is not enough to judge a system. Change stops to BE after you made a nice ride to make ...

costs of trading 12 vs 5 pairs — I have read briefly through the last pages and have a little contribution to them struggling with the costs comparing the larger and smaller basket. What I have seen, going through 2 months of data, is that ...

Platform time doesn't make a difference. Below are two charts using the standard url settings. The first is taken from jfd live, the second from fxopen demo. Just a little different, minor data difference, but not as a set-up.

Looks ok in settings. Close and open mt4, maybe your data is corrupt. Sometimes, updating in a offline chart stops without a reason or shows gaps etc. Don't know if this problem also relates to the basketv6, but I do know that it happens with other ...

There was a nice possible 5 min re-entry, not that I took it/ trade that.

No buy here.

Ok, I see.

Now, let's stop getting off topic. Tomorrow will start a new day of trading and I am in. Would be nice to see, share and explore the trades with others, so we can compare and discus about exit's and whatever.

Ok I see. Fxcm is a regulated broker, so that makes sense. Have to say that the average spread you mentioned, kind of scares me of. In the other hand, regulation is something to look after, when choosing a FX broker.
