OK the market is changing but then you adapt the EA. It is like for manual trading. If you don't adapt your manual trading it will fail. So do you say that manual trading doesn't work? No because you will adapt your strategy with the market ...

Do YOU think EA's work (POLL)

Yes I fully agree with you. It's true that the name Expert Advisor is not well chosen (I never thought of that before) as it is only a stupid executor. Anyway the stupid executors are very useful nowadays when many things are built by machines and ...

Do YOU think EA's work (POLL)

Yes but you forget that also a lot of people are able to blow up their account without the help of any EA. ... So in my opinion it is not up to the EA but up to guy who makes the EA. if he looses manually, the EA he will make will probably loose as ...

Do YOU think EA's work (POLL)

Yes, at least up to now... I have 1 EA that I consider working and I am confident with and one that seems to work but I am more cautious with it and I keep it on demo only and we will see in 3 months or so. As I see the following questions coming I ...

Do YOU think EA's work (POLL)

Yes exactly, personaly the EAs that work for me are on H1.

Do YOU think EA's work (POLL)

I don't think it is incompatible (except if it is a black box) because usually the systems are not blackboxes but just a defined strategy that has been implemented. The time spend for the actual coding is very small compare to the time of analysis. ...

do automated trading systems work or...

I voted yes because I think it works. Of course not in the way that you let it run for years and just let money coming because of course the market conditions are changing and then you need to adapt your strategy. Automatisation is just a way to be ...

Do YOU think EA's work (POLL)

I have not read the book you mentionned from Daryl Guppy, but I guess it is mainly for the guppy (GBPJPY). It may be the trading system with the multiple moving averages used as the channel. There is a web site about it, but I think that it may be ...

Great books for trend trading

So, you want the Holy Grail and in addition you want it for free. Why would somebody who has a profitable system (I don't say the Holy grail but a profitable system) would give it for free to you? Any good reason?

Holy grail trading system wanted, or nearest thing to it!

Pablo, this comment was for Davidke20 for the results he published, not the values of the bands

Big Mt4 Bug

About your results with Stoch1.2 for instance I would be very careful because 30 trades is not statistically significant (setting aside any MT4 bug). In my opinion 100 is a strict minimum. And if you use already only the year 2005 you will see that ...

Big Mt4 Bug

In my opinion a daily goal in pips is only for scalpers. Personaly, I can be on a trade for one week. So you can imagine that a daily goal doesn't mean anything. For me it would be more a monthly goal. But a goal for me doesn't mean that you stop ...

What is your daily pip goal?

It depends what you mean by reliable. If you mean trustworthy I am afraid that the combination trustworthy / microlots / egold is a bit contradictory. The reason is that it is in general the worst brokers that will offer the biggest facilities like ...

Who's you favourite for live MT4 broker?

I would say that in theoy the latest version shoud be the closest to the reality. A way to check is to replay your forward test as a backtest and check which version gives the same results. If you have very different results between two versions it ...

I would like to "restart" this thread because I am thinking to open an account with fxlq through one of their IB. I don't agree with the first post, the fxlq website looks ugly and is not informative. And if you send them emails they don't answer. ...

Anyone using FXLQ?

Even if you start with 0.1 lot it doesn't work. after 10 losses in a raw you will end up with more than 200 lots ! I let you figure out what your capital should be to open 200 lots. Anyway there are plenty of different versions of martingale Ea in ...

Martingale EA. Almost can't lose!

Yes, at least it's not 1 / 1 / 1 otherwise you are only partly edged as 1 lot with the different base currencies doesn't have the same value. So you have to do some math using the ratios between the different currencies.

Three way Hedge

As I understood, you cannot open an account if you don't fill the "Intermediate trader" form because they don't want to handle the segregated accounts.

I also contacted them to ask about the fact that as an "Experienced trader" your money is not protected according to FSA rules. They answered that this rule is important only in case if Alpari UK goes banckrupted. But I think that is just one one ...
