IE: today's losers were GJ and AN... both near support and both looking like it wants to keep going down... well see how it plays out. The rest of the trades were good... and turned out good because of the fact that the spikes occurred near ...

Hey Max, I been looking at the beast thread and looking at the graphs of the trades. It looks as though the best opportunities lie with the CT trades from the sixth indicator or the TMA one. If price is outside the gold area AND TMA indicator AND ...

i agree but maybe longer term atr average might work better then tight ranges wont affect lot sizes so much unless its over a long time few months

Guys check out the AAPL stock chart... does it resemble a dog? url Jag

EURUSD

You should normalize your lots with LotDigits when you adapt the lot. On brokers that don't support 0.01 lots you will get errors. Jag

I had no trades from last fri until now.. I keep upgrading to the latest bot aswell. The time to trade is ok... shows green but the checks to open the trades are more strict I guess... Looking at Max's mt4i looks like there are trades being ...

Sorry Scoobs, I know that you know what you are doing but I simply just wanted to clarify what happened as it affects us all in the end instead of assuming that slippage was not a factor. I think the key info is that you have drastically different ...

Sixths trading - an EA by macman, Bob and Steve

Were all the orders filled at the same time or were they at different times? If slippage occurred then maybe it is the timing of the trade that messed it up. If slippage didn't occur but they got placed on different bars then you know that price is ...

Sixths trading - an EA by macman, Bob and Steve

Hi Max, Although you're probably right I was thinking about probability and statistics to recover from drawdown. That's what it is... the market is random and we merely put ourselves in a position to get an "edge" for profit. If we know the trend ...

Nanningbob V5: Steve Hopwood's auto-trading robot

Max, Also with the sixths trading that Steve wrote (the beast ea) the recovery lots are bigger(2x 4x) but after say 400 pips hedging helps with the death trend that stops you from getting the margin call from a lingering trade that never closes out. ...

Max, Why do you want the news text content? Some of the versions will let you filter what currency the news event belongs to.. aswell as importance and time and whether it is an all day event or a speech... thats all you need. I don't think you will ...

Think fundamentals... wouldn't this increase your chance of hitting homerun? When it moves it sets trend for rest of day. If you play NY or London open it gets reset again on next London so smaller chance to hitting a homerun that spans multiple ...
