i like this post better than your previous one. esuffw spoke clearer still though

There are no secret patterns and there will never be one

not a problem. nice post. personally i was hoping it would be longer. your posts so far emit an air of proper understanding and sincerity, and not just blind-faith in hocus pocus and fluked past results. very nice.

There are no secret patterns and there will never be one

i'm calling you out on this! 1. if a pattern / indicator is used by enough people with big $$$ then yes it could become a self-fulfilling prophecy... so why isn't it? which leads to... 2. who says the 200 MA is huge to the 'big boys'? 3. the fact ...

There are no secret patterns and there will never be one

yup. that was probably the best way to phrase what i was trying to say. spot on.

Should I throw in the towel after being in the negative for 10 years?

i've said it before, but the 'doctor' analogy that gets tossed around is terrible. doctors / 'professionals' don't sit in a room for 10 years trying to re-invent the wheel. they spend 10 years of dedicated productive study lead by people who know ...

Should I throw in the towel after being in the negative for 10 years?

i'm not sure where exactly it is... but for a 'no more bs' thread my bs detector is kicking in hardcore. i have a feeling we have a 'blind leading blind' situation here. there are some interesting ideas and all, but i wonder who is milking the forex ...

No more BS - What have you learned?

yeah, i guess so. i'm saying if a 'trading system' or strategy or magic or whatever HAPPENS to work in both stocks and forex it is not because they are the same... because they are not the same at all.

Do your trading systems also work on stock indices?

chalk and cheese. when was the last time a currency got delisted and disappeared forever? what about any stock (excluding indices)? abundant leverage possibilities coupled with the unlikelyhood of a currency pair ever reaching zero make foreign ...

ive got 500 to spare. weeeeeeee

It is possible to be rich in FX!

and you are wrong. Dues : if i could 'like' a post it'd be yours right there.

Trading success relative to your income ... a POLL

It is time for JohnnyBSmart to JohnnyBQuiet. You aren't adding anything of value here. Give a decent argument against something, or give nothing. Just admit you are in love with Turveyd and be done with it once and for all so we can all get on with ...

set the date + 1 from where it typically starts you from. check journal. set back one day. check journal. set back another day. check journal. my guess is that the 3rd time you do this you will start seeing errors while the first 2 are clean

dont know what is going on dude. something hokey is happening or you have set something incorrectly. check the strategy tester journal and see if it is complaining about anything.

you said you figured out how to download the history and had done so, so what has changed since then? the last thing i can think of is you keep changing timeframes. if want to backtest on m15 then download m15, set the timeframe in the tester ...

VHands Trading Simulator

my guess is this is a case of not having history scrolling back a few days setting a start date way before this date thinking the ea is starting at where i scrolled from, which it is but only because that is the only data it has to work with now you ...

i have learned that i can not look at a chart for months, decide to open up mt4 strategy tester with vhands, backtest a strategy on a random set of days from a few months ago.... very very easily more than double the account over those few random ...

No more BS - What have you learned?

I am sure there is another book somewhere that I got cheap but don't care to go hunting for it just for a list... but the others i can see right now are : The Art Of Trading - Tate Adaptive Analysis For Australian Stocks - Radge The Zurich Axioms - ...

Purchases you have made to help you trade:

because you didn't read the thread and / or manual. you MUST pause the strategy tester to set off any form of order management through the vhands objects on the chart. not pausing causes vhands to go mental as each tick the strategy tester generates ...

you probably havent actually downloaded historical data... havent opened mt4 for months so forget exactly where it is, but have a poke around the menus up top and you will find it. vhands backtesting is just like any other EA. you specify the ...
