Just being pedantic, but the maximum order size on Go is 20 lots, so the order would be rejected. In other news, I've had enough and opened a Vantage FX account today, where the EU spread has been around 1.3 pips all (Aus) day.

You got me excited about this, but today, back at work I find it doesn't work through the corporate firewall. It must be trying to open up additional ports which are blocked. Just sits there saying "connecting" forever once I have entered my login ...

Same deal here. I was watching at the time and it did not repaint. It must just be to do with slightly different pricing at our brokers.

I run two live accounts with Go. They both reside on one Crucial Paradigm VPS. Last night at 4:24/4:25am EST one suffered two disconnects while the other traded like clock work. Each account only had one chart open with one simple EA running. No ...

I don't think it's hedging individual trades. Rather, start with a buy grid, once the price moves goes down by 20 pips start a sell grid. Start a new buy or sell grid as soon as the existing one closes. The new trades open with a multiplier of 1.2 ...

Averaging and Hedging System

I suggest looking into selling options strangles if you are seriously interested in trading without directional bias. You make money whether the price goes up, down or ranges - but you still have to predict the range that the price won't break out ...

Strategies that don't predict future price

The times used in the set files are the GMT times, but the EA uses the server time, so you need to add the offset of your broker. Try adjusting the times on demo and you will see.

Just my interpretation of ATO documents (no links sorry). I can't find anything concrete and every accountant will tell you something different. Even ringing the ATO gives a vague answer, where they basically say it's up to you - until we audit you! ...

Australian tax implications of FOREX gains/losses

Personally I just include the total as investment income, rather than separating them. Unfortunately, if you make enough profit they will force you to go onto quarterly PAYG tax, which sucks when you are trying to compound your account!

Jollyroger: an inside bar auto-trader by SteveHopwood

I tested this EA for about three weeks and it never missed any trades for me. My broker doesn't have any restrictions on placing pending orders though, so that may have something to do with it. I tried the 21 period moving average for a trailing ...

^ I've been with them for about two years. I have nothing but praise for their customer service. On the odd occasion that there has been a glitch (ie. when their trading server went down) my transactions have been reversed on the spot without any ...

Reversi: a dynamically calculated x-candle reversal EA by Steve Hopwood

Reversi just opened a sell order on AUDJPY. This suggests to me that the swap filter is not working. Looking at the code, the following two changes (in bold) need to be made in the LookForTradingOpportunities() module. This will also allow the ...

Regarding problems with the stop losses. Mine hasn't been sending a stop loss with the original orders, but works okay when the trailing / breakeven stop losses kick in. Looking at the logs it appears that it is trying to send the stop losses, but ...

I wont be near a computer to check it until after the weekend (on my phone now). But I think you need to specifiy the symbol & period to keep MT4 happy. Like this: iTime(NULL,0,0) or: iTime("EURUSD", PERIOD_H1, 0)

I don't have access to MT4 right now to check, but I think you need to use iTime[0] for the bar time?

I am currently sitting on a $6000 loss due to my EA not being able to the Go Markets trading server last night. It really couldn't have picked a worse time for me. To date I have been impressed with Go Markets customer service, I really hope they ...

Even though it's an international transfer, the funds are usually cleared in my account in about 3 days - which is faster than a normal international transfer. I did have my fair share of delays, but that was because I was sending my withdrawal ...
