This won't work, every MA system gets hammered when the market does not trend. If it was as simple as this everybody would be rich. I read a 'expert' on this site proclaim MA systems as 'the most reliable', don't believe a word.

Requesting MA EA's

Stopped chasing systems, learned to trade properly.

How did you make your comeback??

If you test a EA on a 1min timeframe, metatrader has no data for what happens 'inside' the 1min candle, so it generates semi-random fill data, trading off this 'filled in' data produces scapler EAs which generate huge profits (as it tends to be more ...

5min Bollinger breakout system

1. Both, but if your data is messed up it won't matter, what version of MT are you using. 2. Tried adjusting it, same result. Suggest you read this ( url )

5min Bollinger breakout system

Two problems here, 1. The EA is trading of the in-bar data, this renders the backtest completely invalid. 2. When I try it on alpari data it totally bombs, linear equity curves like the one in the first post are signifigant of messed up data (the ...

Started with 10K, 2% on each trade. Data from 2004 to present (used the Alpari M1 data).

Honest answers please! Are you successful trading on Forex or not?

Weird! it doesn't work!!

Honest answers please! Are you successful trading on Forex or not?

Would you trade this system? New system #2.

I don't understand your point, AutoDesk will obvously make more money selling AutoCad than using it. The people who I have been lucky enough to talk to who do successfully auto-trade seem to have no trouble attracting capital. BTW I'm not blaming ...

Do You Buy EAs or Indicators from ebay?

Selling a money making EA for profit is an oxymoron, if you truly have a profitable EA you can make vastly more money using it than you ever could selling it, therefore in conclusion no profitable EAs are ever sold, quod erat demonstrandum.

Do You Buy EAs or Indicators from ebay?

Trading/Surfing

Remeber, these are opinions, not facts, systems may work for some people. But I would contend that people who are successful with sytems are also applying the experence they have built up over time, even if they don't realize it. I ignore ...

Trading/Surfing

Someone (a non-trader) was watching me looking at a chart the other day and asked 'what are you looking for?'...I thought, how do I explain this? I then had a little epiphany, 'I'm trying to figure out what everone one else is thinking', instead of ...

Trading/Surfing

I'm getting there, still f**kin up sometimes! I have about a 60% hit rate on my position trades.

Trading/Surfing

Your story sounds exactly like mine I found that going to higher timeframes helped, I made a rule that I would only check charts two times a day 1. London open 2. When I get up. I know how it feels to think your missing out on something if your ...

Lack of discipline.
