Yes, good idea - but really you are the trader and you need to decide at what point to jump ship, which may be well before your alert. As I have said umpteen times before there is no such thing as a 'set & forget' bot. You need to constantly monitor ...

Sixths trading - an EA by macman, Bob and Steve

Well, sure confused me .... The later sixths indis have nothing to do with back testing, but everything to do with being able to input your own look back number of bars to use. If you input exactly the same number of bars that you can see ...

Scoobs, Can't really say I am surprised by this - maybe add a couple of the UK newspapers to your CC list?

High frequency trading is very much a dirty word ATM - url There are senior European politicians now determined to shine some light in the 'Dark Pools'

Sixths trading - an EA by macman, Bob and Steve

Why were you shocked? Basically all posts fall into one of three categories: 1. Positive - Includes an idea, suggestion, some data, useful tip etc 2. Neutral - Usually 'thank you ...', 'I am going to start ...', 'how do I ...' etc 3. Negative - No ...

This is the original version - one running a separate copy of MPTM and the other just closing due to the movement of the 6th's. As you can see MPTM is smoothing the drawdown slightly as well as limiting the profit slightly. Difficult to say which ...

Sixths trading - an EA by macman, Bob and Steve

Nice idea, but maybe slightly missing the point. The design was to maximise on the oscillations which occur around the top/bottom lines - idea being that your trade size increases until eventually profit is taken. The more 'ranging' that goes on ...

Hi Steve, Did you get any further with the dynamic reentrypips thingy - or is it a dead duck ..

Sixths trading - an EA by macman, Bob and Steve

I just add a date code to each version I download, so then I have an automatic version system. For instance a version of The Beast downloaded today would become 'The Beast 101010.mq4' (month,date,year) If there is more than one version on the same ...

Sixths trading - an EA by macman, Bob and Steve

Hi Steve, ATM we set up the bot with a fixed number for Primary & Secondary trade sizes. We could automate this with something like Primary_trade_Lot_size=Equity/100000; or whatever. If I remember rightly Scooby had some good numbers to use. Also we ...

Yes, that is how it is designed, but a recovery system & good MPTM settings should reduce floating drawdown significantly - and profit slightly Just a question of finding the right settings ....

Sixths trading - an EA by macman, Bob and Steve

Hi Steve, Hmmm .... I can see the idea behind limiting trades, but IMHO it may be counter productive. There is a post here url by a guy who has done a nice backtest which shows a clump of trades on GU - as he says "nasty period from ...

Interested to see your findings for sixths settings on other currencies, as until all currencies have been optimised The Beast is running below potential. Cheers -
