I'm not sure what "system" you are referring to, but my response to Simihouse was regarding his version from a few posts back. Basic mathematics is at the very core of his system (and can be used to show how it will not turn a profit).

Three Pairs Hedging

The shape of the hedge monitor would parallel the movement of USDCHF, not EURCHF. I cannot. I do not see how you could possibly get profit from simultaneously buying and selling 1 lot of EC. IMO, your current system cannot be profitable in the long ...

Based on your screenshots, your SSB basket had a net Long position of approximately 0.46 lots USDCHF and your BBS basket had a net Short position of approximately 0.46 lots USDCHF. Didn't you notice that your basket total profit lines perfectly ...

MB Trading Futures - Introduction

I have a script that uses M1 data for all 23 major pairs my broker offers. The memory "hit" for this script is around 1 GB when my "Max Bars in chart" setting is 500000 (It loads 500000 M1 records x 23 pairs into memory). When I reduce to "Max Bars ...

What to do when MT4 is using a lot of memory?

Bad and/or missing data. I tried again using my MBTrading demo account. Initially, the data was incorrect. So, I waited a few minutes, removed the dashboards from the charts, and re-attached them. Then everything looked ok. Sometimes you need to ...

You are correct. I do not know why it differs from trader101's pairs as defined on page 1 of his thread. The dashboard was made a while ago - might have been an oversight or there may have been a reason for it. Looking at Orest's indicators, he has ...

Hopefully this is what you are looking for. Sometimes two pairs can switch several times in a matter of seconds...leads to quite-a-few alerts/emails.

Please keep posting. I can't get this image out of my head: you sitting in front of your PC, red-faced, horns coming out of your head, pounding on the keyboard, irate at MBTrading and the rest of the forex world because you just can't get no ...

I love these comments about negative posts not including "proof". That is laughable! There are at least 3 backtest indicators that clearly show the trouble spots of this strategy. The mathematics also clearly shows how a basket can get into drawdown ...

Attach to any chart. Profit numbers deviate slightly from Squalou's indicator...I think we calculate profit a little differently. Screenshot shows 3 variations of lot sizing. Parameters ------------------------------------------- Set "edtOpen" to ...
