I think for a manual trader a good point to consider -- even though this depends heavy on the trading style and does not mean necessarily that less trades is less screen time. Actually in my 2 examples it would be the same screen time - just other ...

What would you prefer - many or few trades !!!

No this is not what I meant: I meant there could be two systems without any special MM applied which produces over a certain time the same end result in cash. ( actual profitable) 1 trade with 100 000 a day or 10 trades with 10 000 a day But as I ...

What would you prefer - many or few trades !!!

Thanks. Generally speaking a good point for a opposite view of mine. It applies to what I have in mind. (This may not be necessarily in all cases - as I pay only spreads: so 1 trade with 100 000 or 10 trades with 10 000 would mean the same: url ) ...

> Of course there can't be any changes to the system over that time. is mathematician definition right ? I also think you are right. But what I more exactly mean: does any manual trade have by this definition a 'profitable system'. Properly most ...

Do you believe in EA trading?

Basically what we are asking is can a profitable system be programmed and run by a co — nice post mathematician, > Basically what we are asking is can a profitable system be programmed and run by a computer, or is that impossible? I would say ...

Do you believe in EA trading?

Back to program — New configured Bots work nicely (but the market moves also where excellent for this strategy) I'm back to programming. I got some new ideas for a way which might work out better than the trailing stop testing (which is not ...

Admit it - your profits are based on luck

I'm over 3 years with OANDA. Even though there are a couple of things which I find annoying (and it seems that recently there are more problems then it used to be) - until now I can not say that I found any prove of being cheated. All wrong spikes ...

And what is your screen resolution ;-) I use 1680 x1050. Hope your next month is better: isn't it annoying -- one tests all that stuff and then goes live just to see a month differently to start with. On the other hand - it also shows that you ...

Thanks mooselover — Thanks mooselover. I have actually a quite decent Trailing Stop system ( I explained it a bit somewhere in Spud's thread). Problem here is that this are small pips 5-15 but sometimes much more. I have also a decent system ...

wouldn't call that a poor profit for a day: over 3 % ;-) you must use huge positions (doubling the account in 7 trading days) - will be very interesting to see the transaction log.

Well better boring then only losses ;-) Many of my tests (MTF Stochs) show a very similar picture. I saw you joined the long term contest starting on February with me. are you planing to trade the same or test anything new?
