Drolph replied May 21, 2019This is a big letdown for many people here I would guess. There is no excuse for revenge trading. All the chatter about the motivation is useless. NO ONE knows how quotes are developing based on a single trade. Matter of fact. No discussion. You ...

Drolph replied May 21, 2019The question you have to ask yourself is: does a company you can trust up to now and which does a fair and decent job starts to scam you just because of a change of regulation? Everyone has to make a decision on his/her own here. But the focus on ...
Vantage FX Kicking Us Out
-
Drolph replied May 21, 2019Based on my experience you are right. All the fiddling with grid distance values and hedges did not work out long term for me. The focus should NOT be the grid itself, as it is only a tool. The edge has to be something else. You have to find ...

Success with Martingale & Hedge - Possible?

Drolph replied May 9, 2019Basically I would say a backtest won't get any "better" using meaningful data plus slippage to produce a backtest. The default MT4 backtesting tool leaves out most of the negatively influencing parameters. But to put speculations aside I fear you ...
How does one get a good backtest?

Drolph replied May 8, 2019The problem is the default backtesting tool of MT4. It is interpolating 1m data which is useless if you have to rely on true tickvalues for sensitive systems like scalpers for example. Still most people use it and waste their time on results ...

Drolph replied May 6, 2019On the flipside an EA will NOT work longterm if it does NOT pass a true 99,9% tickdata backtest of at least 10 years including a slippagesimulation (there are only paid solutions here) with excessive values to cover these broker specific ...

Which broker offers highest swap rates?

Drolph replied Apr 20, 2019Truth hurts, right? It is outdated in terms if content and information - not time of release. Another example of selective perception. You are posting wrong information plus spaming them in a wrong thread (this is ESMA, not ASIC here) while the ...

Ava scamming?

Drolph replied Apr 19, 2019It depends on your expectation and demands. It is not a bad choice to avoid a misconception here. But there are things beyond the visible and based on "specs" comparable parameters when working with a broker. It is not only slippage on the execution ...
