This is a stellar piece of work - well done. If I could change one one thing it'd be change 3D to 2D. FX settles on t+2; if there's some fuckery, this is the timeframe I'd expect it to operate on.

Takes some cahoonas to be able to not only spot but keep your nerve through the swings THT but if you can and do, fair play.

Can Forex Be Treated as a Long-Term Investment?

The reason? It's hard. Right now, USDTRY is a big trend, but carry outweighs the move, so hot money is parked in turkish banks. In G7, short GBP/JPY is probably the strongest but you need to be an expert in timing. They're not clean macro signals. I ...

Can Forex Be Treated as a Long-Term Investment?

I love this. Absolute insanity of prop firm rules but you played it perfectly.

I don't know how these limits are set - by changing the options in MT5, the MT5 demo account has an unlimited 1m history at least - going back to the 80s, not that I want that much. I've also got a live a/c but not experimented to see if there's ...

Python data pull might work better - all I know is through MQL5, I came a cropper with corrupted or missing data. I'm working with a bigger dataset though - both in instruments and time, and in a given week 2 or 3 pairs will corrupt and need ...

are you storing the data? the first proper step for me after building a the chassis (it's a bloody big dev) is a proper data store. I'm about as excited about this as having a colonoscopy because any mistakes will cost me days in the future. I'm ...

Seconded. Shout up anyone. It's next on my list.

I thought he was dead, so in that sense he's every bit the messiah. Saw him nearly 20 years back spinning some biblical nonsense about how a candle looks like a banana cut into slices. It's boggling in the age of AI that people don't just test for 2 ...

Sit all 4 of your 'buttocks' down...

Hi Friel, they're not concerns, I've just never seen a single EA with proper regime conditioning and there's a good reason for it. Not to tell you you categorically need it either, because the only thing you need is solid out of samples and decent ...

What is a good EA for you?

good find this. It’s almost unbelievable they’d create a programming language and make input such an ordeal but they did. Ive been using arrows for up and down and it sucks

MT4 / MT5 Trade Manager

It's a bit more subtle than this. Theoretically yes, an EA could be programmed to handle regimes. In practice, never. The proper pipeline for all-weather algos requires a huge pipeline. Some elements are interchangeable but FX wise you'll likely ...

What is a good EA for you?

So I parked this for a while because I realised two things; one is that retail will never be a primary market, and two, to make it really viable for B2B other than keeping MT5 out the equation, I'll need to materially improve hourlies. What I've got ...

FXV trade decisions

Oh I see, no that's one ST found. I did consider sales but honestly, doesn't make commercial sense (v high effort to low reward) so either it'll be B2B or nowt.

I know. I went through blood sweat and tears to improve it by 30% against ADRs.

Yep very similar in output. The big money in these forecasts is in accuracy or rather, specifically reducing transaction costs for large corps which is where my time's at at the moment but spot-wise, you're trading what I found - the extremes are ...

Quantitative Trading

No ML! Re straightforward ... depends on quality. Relative vol (x period over y) dead simple, forecasts vs actual very tricky as it's a long pipeline.

Quantitative Trading

I get it. I'd spend some time interrogating GPT on why it's sensible. Once you get it, you'll be unshakeable as to why and see why it's pretty much standard everywhere outside of here OFC. By way of example, the easiest separation is vol- ignore the ...

Ha you're rare. And totally agree. There's a breakout strategy somewhere here with people trying endless permutations to try and find the "works everyday" combo. They will never find it because it doesn't exist. You're supposed to gate but the memo ...

Quantitative Trading

Not at all - I mean I wouldn't use ML at this stage. Algo-based regime ID as a base, any fancy ass stuff can hold. Strategy/signal on top. Not the other way around. So your measure of success isn't alpha, it's does my ID encompass all conditions, ...
