Change your broker. Find one, like MB Trading, that charges commissions. I have been with MB for a couple of years and have found them to be honest eventhough I am profitable with them. Their prices are better too. I must admit I have only had an ...

Obviously profit %age is important but so is Lowest Margin level as I don't like to see it get too low on a consistent basis. Thats why 2a and 3bx look nicer to me. BTW is your 3bx you last gave P/L for this one: Ph_AddSix_03bx_CL_TH_PS If not can ...

Phantom 6 System

I suspect that many professional traders are as useless as the general public and that they really don't have any magical systems that are kept secret. In any normal distribution you'll get those that do well and those that don't. I have no doubt ...

the way the big players trade?

Thanks Toothman. I think I probably need to spend a bit more time understanding the MT4 language....

Phantom 6 System

Thanks for the post. I've also been testing Jag's EA but haven't been doing so well with them but I'll persevere to get the settings suitable for my accounts. The same still applies as far as testing is concerned. Its a shame MC is so full of ...

Phantom 6 System

Thorn, thanks for the sensible reply. I've been doing my homework and think I now understand much more of the logic and maths behind these basket EAs. I've also been testing a few out, including the Jag EAs which have been a bit problematic. ...

Phantom 6 System

Well, that's what we call 'sods law' !! No sooner had I posted and V2a opens a trade on one of my accounts. Finally, after 2 days of trying. Possibly its because I'm used to MC's Phantom EAs opening trades all over the place and perhaps Jags' are a ...

Jag's Phantom 6 System

I've tried 3 versions of this EA but haven't been able to get any 'real' trades placed on 3 different accounts, all of which seem to offer the pairs necessary. I do get the Phantom trade details appearing but the EA never makes a real trade. I've ...

Jag's Phantom 6 System

I agree. MT4 was built specifically for brokers to steal money from their clients. One day a good book will be written about the FX con. But that's not to say the tables can't be turned, at least temporarily....

No, not arbitrage, although I've done that too. I've also done bookmaker/bookmaker/Betfair arbitrage and that did well for me for a while but the bookies soon restrict your bets and it becomes a waste of time quite quickly.

Art Phantom EA

Hahha. One of the reasons I'm looking into other possibilities is that the edge I have enjoyed for about 3 to 4 years on Betfair is slowly evapourating. This is happening because as time moves on, any marketplace will become more efficient and also ...

Art Phantom EA

Metacoder, you're response sounds like you interpreted my post as confrontational when it certainly wasn't meant to be so. I genuinely wanted to know what the mathematical foundation was and that's all there was to it. Just because I'm successful in ...

Phantom 6 System

I've posted this on a couple of other freds about the subject but havent had a reply as yet. Being a very successful gambler with my own automated Betfair algorithms and a reasonably successful part-time FX news trader (which I'm about to take more ...

Art Phantom EA

I've put this question on the Phantom 6 System thread too but thought one of you guys may also be able to answer me.......... Being a very successful gambler with my own automated Betfair algorithms and a reasonably successful part-time FX news ...

Basket 14 EA System

Being a very successful gambler with my own automated Betfair algorithms and a reasonably successful part-time FX news trader (which I'm about to take more seriously), I'm interested in the mathematics of this system. I can't quite understand the ...

Phantom 6 System

Perhaps I'm being dumb but I've read the entire thread and have tried both APF and APFEU over the past 6 hours without a single trade. I have an MB Trading account and although sometimes I get the window flashing with Buy and Sell trades appearing ...

Art Phantom EA

Hanover, I've been away doing other stuff for a while and even playing with EAs and the like. I'm now totally convinced that FX cannot be walked forward only by looking at the past, which is what 99% of EAs do. I'm also pretty convinced that for me ...

Plot News indicator (version 3.0)

Thanks for that. Yes, MBT have been having problems with their MT4 demo but they tell me the live version is very stable. I've been trading with them for 2 years or so using their MBT Navigator platform and find their system extremely good. I use ...

Recent Strength indicator

Love the indicator as it was exactly what I was looking for for a while. However, it seems to appear in my Custom Indis without a problem in my demo ODL account (and graphs as expected) but, although I've tried every which way, I can't get it to ...

Recent Strength indicator

Hugely successful trader eh ? His spiel is convincing....yet his forum links to a blog where he's just another chancer flogging a mentoring course for a mere $700.....pull the other one jacko baby......
