This is why I find all these trade competitions to be a waste of time. The yearly EA competions that MetaTrader runs, and the individual contests the different brokers run are usually won by someone using an EXTREMELY aggressive luck based betting ...

Is a return of 4500% possible? Alpari contest.. (Brainstorming)

I was NOT suggesting adding the alligator to the system. I was simply using it to demonstrate that OTHER indicators that perform a similar function ALSO give the appropriate signal at the appropriate time to the indicator Squalo has created for this ...

Unfortunantly, as with most systems, you have to place some kind of arbitrary number to some variable. I find this system works well enough on EURUSD m15 with the 30 pip CZ. Without some c Ultimately this system/indi looks to be a new take on the ...

I can understand ForexHard's position; All too often on these and other forums someone will post a solid working simple system and not even a day later other people are suggesting changes or adding new indictors to "filter" trades. I "try" to avoid ...

As far as I can tell, Squalo made it so you can input those numbers manually. You can set whatever levels you want, unless I'm misunderstanding the settings.

Tools for forexhard's Stairstep Breakouts system

This looks kinda like the "Avenger FIBO" that someone here recently, same principle, just keep martingaling until you win. Honestly I think someone needs to post a link to Renko charts every single time someone posts a martingale system, as IMO they ...

Kevinator's M5 retracement strategy: an auto-trader by SteveHopwood

You mean scan all Six pairs from ONE chart window? or do you mean simply trade all six pairs? Because as far as I know its simply a matter of adding the EA to each pair on its own chart, so you can already do what you ask.

Bah, nevermind... Went over code again and reread strategy, ignore this as I was confusing a trade exclusion section for a trade trigger...

Pippo: a Murrey Maths retrace auto-trading EA by SteveHopwood

So am I the only one the EA didn't take any trades for last night? As far as I can tell there should have been several trade setups across the pairs I'm trading, so it strikes me as odd it didn't take a single trade.

Another bit of Martingale lunacy

Yeah, I've never been able to get a decent modeling quality with MT4 and mostly use its back tests for the same thing you do, to check of the trading logic is sound. Still I'll have to forward test the EA on a demo account for a while, as if what ...

Ibuks breakout reversal auto trading robot by Steve Hopwood

I didn't see anything in his system rules that would imply a trend having anything to do with the trade setups. Which is why I left them out of the recap / simplification I posted earlier. Defining a "trend" has and will always be a pain in the ass, ...

Finally, on another note, the balance line you use (Blue Line) from the alligator is nothing more the a 13 Median MA Smoothed with an 8 shift. For the sake of keeping things as simple as possible for the explanation of the system. file What your ...
