PistolDave replied Aug 27, 2008My test results after five trading days — Again, here is an update to my test of the system. This is a variation of nanningbob's system that I am trying. I am using the EAs but, manually opening and closing trades in a little different way ...

PistolDave replied Aug 27, 2008Drawdown? Going from $2500 to $16,000 sounds like a huge gain not a drawdown.

PistolDave replied Aug 27, 2008The top graph is very similar to the one that I had before I started opening and closing the trades daily. It is making steady gains in the balance. A little attention from time to time is all it takes. Looks great!

PistolDave replied Aug 26, 2008It is all becoming more clear to me now. The basic principle would be to let all the trades run as much as possible with the EAs handling the trades, but be watchful and intervene in any individual trade that seems to be getting out of control. I ...

PistolDave replied Aug 25, 2008Excellent trading, Bob

PistolDave replied Aug 22, 2008That's what I was thinking when I said the time when you enter/exit is critical to the profit or loss. For example, you could have a position go against you for 5 or 6 levels and be sitting on a large potential loss. Close the position at that point ...

PistolDave replied Aug 21, 2008Are you now using the laguerre, as you talked about in an earlier post? You said: "I read about the laguerre indicator and after checking it out myself, I was convinced it is a good one, so I decided to compare it with the momentum indicator. The ...

PistolDave replied Aug 20, 2008Hi magictrader, I have pm'd Swingman, the man who programmed a lot of the indicators for this strategy. I asked him to take a look at what you are asking for. Maybe if he is not too busy he will be able to help us out. I don't have any indicators ...

PistolDave replied Aug 19, 2008Let it run? — What you are saying is that you don't actually close out the trades you have open through the weekend, but you just turn off the EA. Are you usually leaving the positions open and letting the EA manage the trades on a pair all ...
