The answer is fairly straightforward. Banks, hedge funds and possibly even brokers run arbitrage against futures prices and each others spot pricing to ensure that any large deviations are corrected in a few microseconds. It is also liquidity ...

Real or Algo

haha not like you to throw cow shit about in forums Digs, although I have to say you are really funny when you do. The guys icon says it all. I don't ignore anybody as a rule, but in this case I make an exception for him. Keep the dukes up buddy ...

I think I get what you are doing. A suggestion might be to take a partial loss on an instance in order to close several trades and replace them with one trade of a combined size, say 0.10 amounting to $-30. Sort of like a pressure release valve on ...

Opinions and Experiences with Hedging and Martingale

If he used Martingale in some of those instances I think he would be a fool. I don't think he's a fool. But he can answer what he does, if he wishes to reveal. I would think twice about doing that.

Opinions and Experiences with Hedging and Martingale

This is not how it looks to me:- 1. Trades are opened by EA, has to run all the time, basket add requirements might be in Asia, London or New York 2. Looks more like scaling/averaging to me, but not as Martingale (potentially would blow up). You ...

Opinions and Experiences with Hedging and Martingale

Dig, With what you are paying in commission alone, you should be thinking about setting up your own brokerage. You would recoup the cost of that inside a week with what you are saving on commission that you're paying to someone elses outfit. Give it ...

Yeah. I've been on the end of a few of those probes lol. I'm always going to buy support and sell resistance, whether it be daily, weekly or quarterly levels. Just need a bit more practice on the hedge and flip thing. Unlike you, I can't always ...

It's very kind of you mate, but with eurusd you can take an hour to think about what the fck you're going to do next, last time I traded gold, you probably remember falling off your chair lol, wasn't as I imagined it to be. At S1, next thing it's at ...

"AUSSI" my thread and anything I want to put here

Yeah well done, I thought you would cover quickly and flip anyway. Working on my scrambling a bit before I take gold on, moves way too fast for my style. Brain and finger coordination don't work that quickly lol.

Presume you are getting in on this... balls of steel. Under alot of stuff, but I can see the reasoning. image

No problem buddy. If you're old school and want to do it manually, here's the way I do it. old TF mins / new TF mins * MA period e.g 1: render a 60min 200 ema on a 30 min chart = (60 / 30) = 2.0 * 200 period = 400 ema on a M30 chart e.g 2: render a ...

Bro, I got your email, been a little busy of late. I quickly adapted this indi which might help you. It allows to draw any MA for any of the standard timeframes on current chart, such that if you change timeframe, the MA drawn will retain it's scale ...

"AUSSI" my thread and anything I want to put here

Yeah actually what you said there makes sense, hedge it to kill it near even rather than trying to get a profit out of it, yeah that makes way more sense to what I'm doing, then just re-enter better on the next shot. Thx for the (cattle) prod ...

"AUSSI" my thread and anything I want to put here

I get in early, rather do that than not get in at all. Am trying to fiddle with positon to readjust it, usually end up getting fcked up the butthole afterwards lol. Probably best leave that well alone then.

"AUSSI" my thread and anything I want to put here

Evening Dig. Do you do your scrambling to get into a better position or to get out of a bad one, or both? Any pointers appreciated, not urgent if/when you have time. Can't beat starting in the best position, but not always possible for me. All the ...

lol retired from systematic trading quite recently, from professional programming a while ago, but chart trading is just getting going. I'm full time at this now.

Damn right sir Digs. Still on the EURUSD for now. image Well done all. Seeing some good stuff.

"AUSSI" my thread and anything I want to put here

Digg, you are literally your own dark pool. Sending prayers to the family. Have a good one mate.

"AUSSI" my thread and anything I want to put here

Let me give you some advice. You are wanting to accept less profit whilst absorbing more risk. Without any regard for the way the market moves you are trying to impose a method on it that smart money does not use. This is the road to ruin. Pick a ...

How can I get martingale/grid with few tweaks to EA?

Jees, Unless your broker account is *guaranteed* STP, this will happen. If the account is ECN, that does not mean that the broker is not market making. The only way to be sure is to have an STP account. I'm sure you know all of this already. Sorry ...
