Okay, I converted my 2 Gb of RAM to a 1 Gb RAM drive, and kept 1 Gb for the processor. The results were unnoticable. I have to admit, I was very disappointed. I thought the delay was caused by MT4 accessing data from my HDD. Evidently there is a lot ...

Supercharged MT4 Backtester

I need to correct my post 1. There is improvement. I am convinced converting my 2 Gb of RAM into a RAM drive will speed up my backtester considerably, as the delay is likely due to HDD speed limitations.

Yeah Merlin, perhaps a thread on limit orders would be appropriate. I think there is a demand for the more advanced topics such as these. Particularly the mechanics of execution. Some of us need to know every nuance of what happens "under the hood."

FXTradepro: Strategy using a “Semi-Martingale” Position Sizing

You have to use stops. It only takes one bad trade to kill you. The Robinhood EA is a great example. From collective2:

Drawdown or Stop Loss

Well that's kindof the idea. The primary goal is to collect the daily rollover premium of GBPJPY, which is much higher than the negative rollover of the swissy. Your long and short are cancelling each other out as you collect swap. When they ...

Sorry to be a wet blanket here.... Hindsight is 20/20. Your system is not robust for all types of markets... IE) you only took long positions in a carry trade GBPJPY market. How much higher do you expect GBPJPY to go? If it starts falling, you will ...
