I coded my own variation of the Recent Strength indicator for this very reason. My aim is to integrate it into my Expert Advisor. My main concern is reliability, data integrity and availability. Oh, and also assessing relative strengths and ...

Trading profitably using Recent Strength

The Xogee one which recently replaced the metatrader mobile platform. If need be, i guess i'll jump ship if it means going back to MetaTrader mobile.

I just ordered the following: The Evaluation and Optimization of Trading Strategies, Robert Pardo The New Trading Systems and Methods, Perry J Kaufman The Way of the Turtle, Curtis Faith Trading in the Zone, Mark Douglas High Probability Trading, ...

I think the fields of Data Mining and Machine Intelligence (both of which contribute tremendously to medical research -- genetics, etc) are often overlooked. Given time, I think the level of automation will increase. It would seem to me most ...

Can be automated trading be profitable?

The only thing keeping me with GoMarkets is that I'm new to trading, and haven't been doing much as of late (I'm trying to remain disciplined and stick to learning).. Also, I haven't tried any other brokers so thus can't make any comparisons. Apart ...

Thanks for the EA. I've recently made my own that works on EA crossovers (generic so you can specify the periods), where it checks both higher and lower timeframe. It's good to be able to get some further ideas..

Yet Another Moving Average Crossover System - The EA

I'm not too sure on the regulatory powers of ASIC, so I can't comment too much. But, I will say I'd prefer them to have *some* regulation rather than none. In addition, the complexity of technology and the way in which there is a serious lag in the ...

The biggest problem I've found with attempting to find some good forex books, is that often the reviews vary so much.. It's really hard to find something that has consistently good (overall) reviews.. I'll check out some of the recommendations here. ...

What's stopping you from doing both? That's the approach I'm taking. As a programmer, I'm finding it better to learn programatically as that's how I'm used to things. At the same time though, I'm not committing myself to any fully deterministic ...

I've basically just worked my way through BabyPips. At the moment, I'm going through Chris Lori's course which seems okay. He seems reasonable about it, and doesn't hype up ridiculous returns/profits. I'm looking at getting some books in strategies, ...

Which FX Trading Course/System is Good for newbies?

Nice work. It will be good to have technical indicators, drawing tools, etc.. That way I can be a bit more confident and open trades from my phone, not just manage them. EDIT: oops. this is iphone, not Android

MetaTrader 4 for iPhone is Under Development

I'm only new to forex, but a lot of the reading I've done has emphasised the need to develop a solid, consistent trading plan and stick to it.. Isn't this the same as a forex robot? (which would also help take the emotion out of it).. Or is the case ...

I'd definitely be interested. Although it's been a few years since I've used Eclipse, I know I'd much prefer it over MetaEditor.

Hmm, this is a bit of a worry. I haven't personally noticed the massive spreads others have, but I'm concerned. I joined GoMarkets as I'm Australian, and like that they're regulated by ASIC. Can anyone suggest any other brokers that fit this ...

Yea, I was thinking of coding external DLLs, however my main concern was the extra overhead incurred by marshalling/unmarshalling. So far I've taken a pseudo Object Oriented approach whereby I treat each include file as a class. Functions and ...

Idea/Strategies for Modular EA Architecture

Thanks for the feedback. I'm hoping by making it modular, I can add/remove strategies easily. This way, I can test different combinations, etc. I suspect relying on too many strategies (or perhaps the wrong combination of strategies) would result in ...

Idea/Strategies for Modular EA Architecture

No, developing an EA. I didn't say anything about what timeframes?..

Idea/Strategies for Modular EA Architecture

Even on a real account, I find it east to make stupid trades with small lot sizes.. When I trader larger sizes, I tend to have more success.. I guess it comes down to discipline.

20% per month. Is this possible?

As I'm new to trading, my target at this stage is only to break even, then maintain consistent profits (not have my account go up and down like a yoyo).. So far I've been reasonably successful. For me, forex is just an interest and learning ...
