I think your development would be faster and more efficient if you posted your EAs or indicators, so those more experienced could comment and give their opinions. There are some very experienced and bright people on the forum but by keeping your ...

21 Currency Pairs vs 7 Currencies

Personally I've always thought the concept of 'trend' was pretty much meaningless. 'The trend is your friend' is a delusional statement. The problem with looking back at patterns that have been created historically is that they lure you with their ...

Have you found that there any indications that this is going to happen or is it like most of what happens in FX, that its random ? Are there any similarities in the type of markets when it occurs ? Or is there a way to invoke a more dynamic MM ...

Thanks Jag for clearing some stuff up.

Thanks Indiana. I'll take a look to see if I can modify the code. My 4th test was a loser. After a number of false starts and having to change dates I ended up doing a 2 month period in 2009. The end balance was $42K with the equity standing at ...

Another live basket closed at a profit of $100 on my $10K MB Trading account. I seem to be getting about 1 a day. Started another Dukascopy backtest using a 4 month period in 2008. Will take 14hrs ! Just using Equity line which make things a lot ...

In your experience what sort of MM strategy do you think would work best ? I'm getting to grips with Hopwood's MTPM and could get that set up to try it out.

I left my third test on overnight but there must have been a data glitch and it stopped after completing 87%. At the time there was a loss of $987. Thanks Jag for the heads up re P/L line. I'll uncheck that. Now, in another post I did say that if ...

I'm doing the testing on 3 month chunks from the beginning of this year. My current test is just 2 months though. I do have visual mode on but the equity line is always squeezed to the top of the graph space because of the P/L line at the bottom. If ...

Second test complete. Opening balance $50K. Profit $10,400 Commission $216 Turnover $11.9m The Dukascopy test reporting is complete rubbish because I need stuff like lowest margin %, max drawdown etc but they dont seem to give anything like that. ...

Yes, I've had one basket open and close using my Add6_3bx I'm using a lowly fixed $100 profit before using the CloseTrades EA on my live mini MB Trading account which has about $10K in it. Because I'm getting good tests with this EA I'd like to try ...

Yes, I realise that there's no central exchange but I would have assumed that someone at some stage has collated all the possible avenues to the FX market and has a reasonable guide as to the amount that is required to move the current price. ...

Amount of money to move the market

As you said yourself tho Saidar, its best to be accurate. There's no point in testing if the accuracy is in doubt. Just started another 3 month test with earlier dates. Jag, d'you know if there's any basket money management EA like Swiss Army Knife ...

Thanks for the info Viv. V useful.

Just finished my first historic test which took around 3 hours. Tested last 3 months data. Sadly the Dukascopy report isn't quite what I'd hoped which could have included drawdowns, %age P/Ls etc like we're used to in MT4. Anyway, the big numbers ...

Thanks for the feedback Blud. No doubt like many others, I've tried thousands of indicators and EAs but generally speaking I really do think the FX market is pretty random, except for those times that are close to news releases. That said, I suspect ...

Trying to create a Gartley Pattern EA

My fault. I didn't realise the '+' button was there to add instruments.....They dont appear to have much documentation on how to use the backtesting functionality. But its going now..... While I'm here I must say a big thank you to you for all the ...

Not having used this indicator before and not really knowing much about Gartley, my main question is 'does this re-paint ?'
