You're playing with fire! Before the Phantom EA's were around I tried the basket EA's on a live account. Max drawdown with the recommended settings for 100:1 leverage was 60%, eventually after 3 weeks it recovered enough to get out at a loss of 25%. ...

As you are no doubt aware, living in Malaysia, you can get a return flight to Singapore from KL on Air Asia or Firefly for less than AU$100 inc taxes!

I would, except the Phantom EA's have only been around since I have been stuck in this current basket cycle.

ET2 & 100:1 leverage?

Basket 14 EA System

Me too, and it's been down to less than 50% of my starting capital. After this close, assuming it closes, it will be basket's last trade for me. The swaps start to add up on 14 currency pairs over several days/weeks as well.

Thanks for the tip, this is the first indicator I have programmed, let alone multipair!

Start with a 15min chart and a regression length of 10, then wait a few seconds - like I said, it's a resource hog. It will use all the history data you have, so if you have a lot it will take ages. Instead, you may like to edit it to use a for/next ...

^ No, because it would behave exactly the same. The purpose of this indicator is to have a graphical representation of the GROUP deviations from their (implied) mean. I intend to use it to run along side the original basket_01 and see if the fastest ...

New Indicator — Here is something to play with over the weekend. It now graphically shows the standard deviation from regression for the two groups on historical data. I hope it can be used to determine which group to sell & which to buy for ...

I like the Phantom add idea, but will still persist with developing the indicator I mentioned earlier, as it may still help to decide when to start trading one of the other systems.

Good idea! I'll be interested in seeing if a pattern develops...

I chickened out. As soon as I saw break-even I was willing to lose the 10% profit from last week - I figured it is only putting me back a week.

Nice work, can't wait to try this one out! I have had Skoda_02 running with en ET of 2 and RegressionLength of 96 for approx 22hrs now & it has had 5 equity pops in that time. Maybe it's not sa bad as I thought? Early days though.

Ditto, I think I'm getting close to manually closing everything out. If I can walk away with my original starting capital I will be happy.

Honestly, I would put it down to a lucky start, then Lemony Snicket's.

Hi KingHigh I guess I did note that the two groups aren't necessarily hedged by virtue of their group percentage deviations often being either both negative or both positive - but you put it much more clearly! If there is indeed a positive ...

I had no luck with the EA's and wont be using them on a live account. Skoda_01 has had two equity pops since starting Monday am, but so has the original Basket14_03, and Skoda_02 is sitting at -4% of it's starting amount and hasn't closed a full ...

That is a hangover from the original Basket14_03. If it bothers anyone I'm sure they can figure out how to fix it themselves (yes, even "non-coders").

Basket 14 EA System

I did say they were experimental! Skoda_01's open trades code is completely untouched from Basket14_03. The only change to that code is the selection of whether the entire basket is a buy or a sell, so yes, very strange. I believe Skoda_02 is ...

These versions might fix the divide by zero issue for those that have it. I don't know for sure, because I can't replicate the problem. I'm also using GoMarkets build 226. Although I do have a VPS which has a good ping time, if the speed of price ...
