Had the luck to watch the full series of videos yesterday evening - great stuff ! I hope, you'll find a way to keep sharing you information.

New to Profitable Trader in One Video Series

I recently sent that request to support and this is the response: Seems, that more members should ask for MT5 integration into trade explorer.

Can You add an MT5 account to your trade Explorer

I agree, but unfortunately, all attempts to lower DD lead to significantly lower profitablity.

Maybe your're right and I'll pick up this idea again in future with a fresh approach and mind. For now, my ideas around RMI + inside candle have not proven to be enough an edge to be successful long-term.

Hi faatkumo, no, I dropped development on this system, as I regard this as an dead end. Just watch, how Ryan is struggling with this system recently, trying to intefere with manual trading. Currently I'm working on a manual system, which allows me ...

Hi Ezzy, do you mean technically ? You just have to compile the mq5-file, then it should work. Regards, Oliver

I've been working for a while now on v2, but honestly, I coudn't get to a setup, that I'm confident with and that I would go live with. Some of you may have noticed, that I stopped running v1 after a big DD end of last month. I tried a lot of ...

I have already implemented some ideas into v02, but the testing cycles take a lot of time, even on MT5 - work and family as well... But I hope to release it soon, as v01 is currently going into a deep DD.

Hi thjw, I recently changed from MT4 to MT5, and I'm quite happy with it - especially about the possibilities of multi-currency-testing and performance optimizing. But the most challenging part is indeed the order handling. If you share the souce ...

Hi Skat, yes you're absolutely right - the max. DD was quite high, I already commented on it in post 13. The critical number in your screenshot is "Deepest valley" under Equity section, which means 40,8% floating DD. I'm currently working on v02, ...

Hi Ryan, I understand your arguments. But I also think, you have a considerable number of loyal followers, including me - maybe you should consider to continue with your videos, but open them only to a selected community. Regards, Oliver

The REAL Traders Video Journal, 3-5% per month as a US trader

One of the baskets in my portfolio, that on USDCAD, went against me, when the CAD news was released. But as the risk on each single pair is low and the volatility filter did it's job, the floating DD never went beyond 3%. Moreover, there was a hedge ...

Hi Cliff, here are some thoughts: I.M.O the original settings indeed do not work very well for EURGBP H1. Try to find more conservative settings, where the entries are taken not too early within the price movements (buy lower, sell higher...). ...

I fully subscribe to the last 2 paragraphs ! Presenting this system without laying a ready-to-use-package on the table encourages people to create their own way of using the system. This is clearly shown by the different approaches evolved in this ...

Update for Version 1 after 2 months The EA recovered fairly well from the huge DD in July. We're now at +13,5% balance growth since start 2 month ago with no more significant DD in August. As those price movements, which caused this big DD were ...

Very good summary !

Some thoughts on EAs and automated systems

Thanks for your input. Especially the idea of getting some pips back in ranging periods sounds smart - I will give it a try in my next tests.

You bring up an important point with your calculation. Without doubt, the RMI-inside candle entry improves your odds of having a good starting point for the system. But we should not forget to focus on the moment, when we have to face a big drawdown ...

Thanks, Rmk90, for bringing up this idea. It has interesting aspects, although not quite the way you intended in your first post. My current thread ( url ) deals with a counter trend strategy, which uses a stop-loss-secured grid, when the positions ...

Since martingale burns accounts, why not do the opposite?

If you have no coding background, I would recommend to start with MT4 for several reasons. It is easier to learn, there are by far more tutorials (e.g. Jim Dandy) and third party products available. My decision to shift to MT5 is based upon its ...
