Myth Busters the Forex Edition

This is simply because price has no mass, thus no momentum. The principle from Physics you are referring to has no meaning in forex, otherwise the previous candle direction alone would already provide an edge, which it doesn't.

Are you referring to the conservation of momentum? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Momentum There is an indicator to measure this price "momentum"

stop hunting the little retail trader is a myth. Why would they want to move their whole market only to kill the $200 stoploss of Joe Sixpack and nobody else? What is with all the takeprofits and pending limit entries of all the other lucky traders ...

Oanda - Saved Profiles

This in itself would not be necessarily a bad thing IF the optimized settings of the EA would continue to work (profit factor > 1) at least for a certain amount of time and re-optimized / modified versions would be available on a regular basis.

How to avoid forex scams

I can already imagine how the code looks like, even without having ever seen it, only judging from comments the OP made in other threads: The EA is a simple martingale EA and the programmer will be happy if his email address won't get spammed with ...

Hidden Code in Code

No. Like in the real market It simply won't fill your order. You can not insist on buying or selling at Price X when in reality the market price is Y. In backtesting the backtester is the market and it will dictate the prices and fill your orders.

Your System is based on fitting a model on a regularly basis and then let it run forward for x days? profit > 0 No, thanks. The topic of this thread is "Optimizing every x", not "who has the 1001st "secret" martingale system"

I haven't seen one so far. And it also doesn't answer my question.

Optimizing every x days/weeks/months - empirical evidence?

This forum is full of people (including me) willing to share knowledge. This is the purpose of a forum, isn't it?

findmanu, what was the most promising strategy so far? (this is the shortcut, i dont want to write another 1000 EAs myself )

This is strange. I have never seen such a strange behavior in the tester. could you please post the optimization plot of the same optimization from the optimizer for comparison? Maybe you accidentally clicked "genetic algorithm"? In this case it ...

magic shift

Use bar numbers instead of time. Have you already tried ObjectGetValueByShift() with a negative shift? Functions that also might be useful are iTime() and iBarShift() for converting times and shifts into each other.

Trend Line Future Value

Just out of curiosity: This is the most bizarre programming request i have read for quite some time. Why on earth would someone want to use the indicator that you just posted in source code form, written by someone else ("I dont know how use the mq4 ...
