Hi MultiLion and thanks, again, for sharing your EA. I manually closed 9 or 10 open positions with a net profit over $500. I chose not to stop/start the EA. I just closed each trade using another EA running on another PC. In your opinion, is that ...

Thanks for taking the time to tell me about the EA and for warning me about trading it on a live account. In spite of your warning, I am trading it on a live account as I feel playing with demo accounts is a waste of time and I'm prepared to take ...

Your EA is currently sitting on about a $350 open net profit on all open positions. Is there a way (in the EA) to have a "basket" TP? Of course, I realise that I could manually close all positions.

I've been running your impressive system for the last 12 hours on a live account with a modest net profit. Do you have any documentation available? Specifically, can I delete a set (2 pairs) by just erasing it's entry in the parameters? Or do I have ...

There are two different EA's recently posted. Have you discovered bugs in both of them?

Can someone give me an idea of trade frequency with "ZScore Diff 3pairs" using the default parameters? I'm running it on four live accounts including Tickmill, where I thought the low spreads would help. After 18 hours no trades. The default is ...

Hi Jason, I have to respectfully disagree with you. While using a VPS near your broker will reduce latency when an order is placed. There will be a lot of additional latency between you and the VPS as far as quotes arfe concerned. This is easy to ...

While you did some good work on comparing spreads, the examples are based on one instant in time. Since you couldn't possibly snap the spread on all three accounts at EXACTLY the same time, I don't think you can count on your example being ...
Best Broker for Extreme Scalper - When Spreads Matter
- ChuckNZ replied Jan 5, 2015
Ouch... this topic gives me a headache!! As a few others tried to explain, you can't compare quotes from one broker with quotes from another. If broker A has a wider spread that broker B, broker A's bid will always be lower than broker B and their ...

I did a lot of work in this area and posted EA's and other tools to this thread as well as a couple of other related threads about a year ago. Just curious how traders are getting on with this correlation "stuff", especially the "three-way hedging" ...

The answer to this question isn't as straight forward as it may seem. You need to be looking for a good mix of the following: 1. Low spreads 2. Low commissions (if any) 3. Minimal transaction time 4. Minimal requotes 5. A minimum deposit requirement ...

As promised, here is an update to the EA I created for this thread I am attaching a zip file containing the EA, an indicator and a DLL. The DLL sends a fake tick to the EA once every second to make sure we don't miss opportunities in the pairs we ...

Hi guys and gals, I've put another 80 hours or so into the EA and hope to release it Monday or Tuesday. There's only a certain amount of testing that I can do on weekends (without live data). Whether all of this work has potential to make us money ...

Thanks to those of you you realised that my post #697 was total nonsense and you were polite enough not to tell me so. It wasn't an April's Fool joke. It was meant to be serious. But, I now realise that it has nothing to do with reality. Each of the ...

That's EXACTLY what AutoDirection does. Rather than trade BBS or SSB (as coded in the early versions), AutoDirection calls an indicator to determine strength and weakness of each currency (EUR, USD, JPY, etc.). Using that information, it then ...

You can run ten sets per EA instance. If you use AutoDirection = true, you can use an undocumented parameter called AddOn. AddOn is a number (1000, 2000, whatever) that gets added to the Magic number so that each instance has its own range of Magic ...

I have a "hint" for those trading the TriangularHedge EA. The thought came to me while trying to get some sleep... something I don't do very often. As you know, the EA trades ten sets and can make money as long as one of the currencies (usually EUR) ...

Disappointing rusults for me. How about you? After 24 hours and lots of trades, using AutoDirection has underperformed running without it. Fewer profitable trades and higher drawdown with AutoDirection = true. Perhaps I should consider using it in ...

Somewhat urgent upgrade..... With AutoDirection set to true, you will have seen cases where some of the sets aren't being traded. This happens when no discernable trend is in place (according to the indicator). A problem arises when a set is already ...
