I'm not saying Hendrick should take responsibility. I always take full reposibility for my own trades But I shall rephrase the question for you. If I have to optimize every 2 weeks. How should I do that in such a short period of time. Just changing ...

I assume the hedge has no TP so it are the original orders that have the TP hit. If my assumption is correct I think dropping the hedge should be done more intelligently. Say we hit -300 and thats our point we build a hedge. We get hit by another ...

I don't see how a hedge can cause a extra float. Besides the costs for buying lots needed for building the hedge everything should even out AFTER the building of the hedge. When the hedge is build when the float is -300 pips that float will never ...

Assuming thats right there is no use closing positions (that are close to SL) just before news. The news will take the stops out or if you are lucky you catch a spike that hits your TP

Maybe we should do some historical float research. I have no idea how to code it but I would like the backtester to print to a csv file which can be imported into Excel. The EA should run on D1 because else we get a overload of data. The .csv file ...

Question for Hendrick. Being paranoid, I like to forward test settings before I start using them with real cash. That takes a lot of time. Maybe a month. But you plan to release new settings every month. Are those setting well tested or is it gut ...

270 pips not much for 2 days trading? That's $27k/month if trading full lots. Even 10 pips a day is great. Think about the compouding effect....

That's easy with Firebird. But don't be suprised that suddenly it takes back all those millions. I would advise 2 hours looking at a chart with the envelope plotted on it. Set up a chart with a envelope so that 95% of the prices stay in the channel. ...

There are 3 sets of hours. a] What you see on the clock in your home. b] Server time. -> What you see on the chart. c] Time of the market. a] is not relavant. You have to align b and c. 13:00 NY 'stockmarket time' could be 07:00 broker time. Because ...

You mean the text in the top left of the chart? Some times are better than others for opening new positions. The bad times are "bad hours" You can configure those hours in the EAs input window.

Don't believe Hendrick to much. I bet he's just browsing the LearJet magazine to see how many pips they cost. Incl. stewardesses ofcourse.

Could be useful for other things; but it's not what I'm looking for. I want to read those back/forward .html logs. For each trade I want to export open/close price/date to a excel sheet. In excel I want to play a bit with some calculations and ...
