Hey guys, merry christmas to you all I've worked a lot on this EA lately and was not able to upload a stable version before. You will now be able to chose: -The main strategy (Entry on stochastic crossover/double MA slope ...

I am afraid that what you won't find a "neutral" basket of 6 with under 10 pips each. You have to lighten up one of your criteria (either the spread range, either the degree of correlation, either the amount of pairs. If I were you I'd be looking ...

Best tool for finding uncorrelated baskets of currency pairs?

I didn't code any custom indi to visualise, it is all internal (I set the RSI last values as an array and calculate the MA on this array) however if you want to visualise it, simply add an MA to an RSI window and you'll have it

I'll do it tomorrow with additional volatility filter as well, so you can either trade sessions or high volatility.

Thank you Gumrai, I just saw your code, thank you very much!

Coders, Little Help with my EA Please :)

You're right buddy, hence as I said I usually backtest using tickstory's data to get the 99.9% modelling plus raw spread. The trick to avoid here is is curve fitting, but optimisation can be done proper and people claiming backtests are full BS are ...

Martingale is On by default but you can turn it off in the sets! Btw your test quality is even worse than mine and starts 5 years ago, unless you have really good computing power I'm afraid none of us will be able to run a good set optimisation for ...

I have 2 accounts atm, a Pepperstone Razor from which I trade the most (news & scalp), and an FxOpen ECN NZ that I tend to find less reliable. How about your account setup?

Why aren't traders who straddle the news successful?

Hi Embo, Unless you're trading a million dollars on an institutional account I don't see how you could possibly trade this much and at the price you want as the liquidity drops in the direction of the spike, but to answer your question, I personally ...

Hey smikester, You're right, and that is something I advise anyone to do: for CPI/FOMC/NFP/Unemployment releases, have look at how the market is trending daily (reflecting expectations), and how it did historically. However this is a wise speech, ...

Why aren't traders who straddle the news successful?

A good broker, used along with proper money management/sl/trailling strategy will get you through the risk. I met several prop traders working for institutional fund making loads. But just like any other strategy, 90% of traders cannot stick to the ...

Why aren't traders who straddle the news successful?

+1, hence if you surfed the wave enough next to the big players there is no reason to stay in! (i.e.: right now GBPUSD got back to the pre-news price) Much love

Gey Hops, why didn't you abandon ship after hitting the resistance instead of setting 100 pips tp? ahahah
