[quote=traderumr;11630615]. That is a great idea. I am all for it. Would you be happy to take lead on this and make a post and try to conduct the competition yourself? nope. There is not much leading to do anyway. Been there done that 10-12 yrs ago ...

Your buddy is telling us about his OCD with margin%. I don't even bother looking at that. I just checked. In about 10 live accounts I'm trading currently, the lowest is 5000% and the highest is 168000%. My swaps are usually positive or even. I don't ...

Trading Forex IS my attempt to get out of my comfort zone.

Getting out of your comfort zone

To really find out the answer, if you have spare room on your computer, run the strategy on different time frames in different MT4 terminals. That is if you are really dedicated to your strategy and want to get to the bottom of things rather than ...

Can there be a strategy that only works on particular timeframes?

The term 'Pro Trader' is really ambiguous. So, I'm not going to claim I am. 1- Black swans may actually help a trader who doesn't use SL. 2- Diversify with as many trading strategies as you can. Be simultaneously short and long in your trades ...

Pro traders who do not use SL, What about Black Swans?

Ok thx. I will try this SET.

All your 3 questions assume I have a set file. I have no particular Set file. Just the default with max trades at 10 and SL disabled. Does that make the EA not function properly? Basically, lets take the default SET file that comes with EA. Then ...

Ok I get that but opening 198 trades at same price is not a rule of dynamic grid. If it was and the direction switched, then what? I think grids should have steps even if they are dynamic grids. They should have limits in how many trades make a ...

I suggest to everyone to not backtest ever. Forward test in a demo for at least one month before going real. BTW, IC Markets demo is very generous in making EA's look profitable even in forward testing. It's all rosey with them. It tells you yes ...

opening 10 positions is the limit of first trigger? First trigger should be 1 position, not 10 otherwise it would be termed first 10 triggers. Also, martining to me is not opening 198 consecutive trades at the same price. Otherwise why not make a ...

That doesn't really answer what triggers trades to close in loss. What is the mechanism then if sl disabled? Also, I have set max open trades to 10. Several times the EA has opened one trades and then suddenly opens many within 5 to 10 seconds. All ...

I haven't read all the entries of this thread but If no SL, then what triggers the losses? The only other 2 reasons I can think of are: 1- running out of margin. 2- indicator based exits. Situation 1 can be remedied with a lot of deposit. Assume ...

No. Demo account. After some orders were filled, they mostly hit SL with the odd few that TP'd. The statement says 55 losses and 10 gains. Then I decided to disable the SL to see what would happen but it didn't work. I disabled trailing stops as ...
