The code in my EA is designed to manage two trades. One trade is for the regular take profit. The other trade is for the opposite AO. Entering during a 'stale' signal is a problem. I just need to add some "one-function-is-not-true-for-previous-bar" ...

Which EA are you using?

Generally speaking, how far back do you look for a swing? Because I'll try to code in a detection loop into the EA to look for highest/lowest points in a specific range.

Here you all go. Feast your eyes on this. This is a more reasonable equity curve for the same EA using proper lot sizes.

scaling in trades I can understand. The turtles did that very well when volatility was considerably lower. To be fair, if you reduced my lot sizes to a more reasonable 5 lots per trade MAX, with a standard 3% risk, I'll still end up with 900k to 1 ...

My EAs are smart enough to open/close trades using the appropriate bid/ask.

This graph is a 6 month period. Not quite scalping. Average sl/tp is 30 and 140 respectively. Trades last an average 20-30 mins. And, yes I do have tick data for two years. Cost me a small fortune, but it's proved accurate thus far when it comes to ...

I would imagine the answer is similar to my personal style of playing poker. You can't win a hand unless you play it. And at the same time, you have no idea whether or not the cards dealt to you are going to be good or not. When I play Texas Holdem ...

Probability approach to trading

Ash designed this system to be as automatic and non-discretionary as possible. Now, what I'm about to say is really against the current trend, but sometimes I feel is necessary: Ignore the S/R levels. This system was designed presumably to take ...

shadowninja, I would imagine that the author wants a guaranteed (risk-free) 10 pips a day. My thinking being that if you can guarantee 10 pips, then no need for risk management, and you can bet the entire account.

Any system that generate only 10 pips/day?

What's wrong with a traditional moving average?

To borrow from a number of other systems: It's clear that this pin bar can be used for entry. Location can be found generally by using some form of zig-zag indicator, and overall trend from any traditional filter like 200SMA, RSI, etc. I'll whip up ...

Any pin will do?

I can't write EAs which can guarantee 10 pips a day, but I can guarantee an EA which never has losses. How? Simple. Don't trade. The short answer is: None exist. The long answer is: 10 pips a day consistently every single day is damn near impossible ...
