The curve looks really pretty but I assume this indicator repaints the past as I tested it inside an EA and the results were not what I expected by looking at the curve - ea's are pretty good at testing because they calculate the indicator values as ...

Peter schiff was right on some things but what is really disturbing is that his clients lost money even though he was right on some things- url Btw, I agree with schiff that the us will face a serious meltdown but IMHO it will happen only when ...

Dooms Day Prediction comes true !

Just open trades every 1 min bar with equal and low sl and tp (for example 10 pips) and statistically the method must lose because of spread. edit: Example loser attached, this is loser even on daily. Good luck. (Alpari = 5 point version, change sl ...

Looking for the Worst EAs

I'll share some interesting research that I have not shared anywhere before: one of the most effective initial stops [for my daily breakout methods] is 2 day atr. When I trail, I use donchian trails, I usually trail last weeks low and I also use ...

How you place your stop loss?

Ronald, If you want to see my version of the exactly same kind of indicator, feel free to check the following indicator. What I did differently was that I also added the time element ie, I don't just paint the levels, I use the time axis as well (I ...

Dynamic colors?

Haven't posted for a while, I have not been trading EURUSD (too much ranging).. But now I'm back trading because yesterday was a nice setup. Look where the last bounce up was ("pin bar" yesterday). So now we might go up or penetrate down or range ...

EURUSD

Thanks blackmage! I'm mostly looking for fresh ideas, not specific implementation ready algorithms. Would you think that the magazine would be of any worth in that sense? Technical implementation side issues don't interest me very much (I understand ...

Dreamliner said he did "visual backtests". There are lots of possibilities why visual backtest might not be accurate. I coded an EA just as I always do to validate the results for some method. IMHO Coding an EA is crucial because only that way you ...

Simplest Daily EMA Cross System

I don't even understand how a gap during normal trading hours would be possible [at forex] because market is so liquid there are always counterparties for your stops. Gap would mean that for some reason all the liquidity would suddenly disappear or ...

The One Nobody Talks About

I made an ea to test this method (I like simple), results for majors / 20 years (1990 - today) below (alpari data 00:00)

Simplest Daily EMA Cross System

My methods are longer term so I don't need shorter term data - I test on daily bars. I use 1 min data for validation (alpari has 1 min data since 2004+ or something) but just to validate that 1 min data gives me exactly or very close the same ...

Do you believe in EA trading?

Massive drawdowns are not something you must have if you use decent risk levels but you are correct that there will be periods of even years that will have a quite flat/slightly descrending profit curve. It all goes down to how much you want to risk ...

Do you believe in EA trading?

If a method works, then it works. Period. No matter what the market conditions. It's all about simple profit vs loss on the long run. If you have more profits than losses in the long run, the ea is profitable on the long run. Simple as that. EAs are ...
