Marusha 2010 Discussion

hey , what EA is this, is it for sale?

i like your system... what EA are u using?

This expert is not for sale. After the Contest we will make a decision on the sale of the expert. The expert trades with us since August 2009. We are very pleased:)

I shall buy the adviser, say his price? 😎

nice EA, share it

Man, even if this WAS a live account I would have been thrilled to close out those MASSIVE losing positions and take the ACTUAL profit (equity) it HAS made!!! Not many (if any) EA'S can quadruple an account in less than 30 days, OMG!! Perhaps this EA can be improved by including either a hedging feature or an anti-hedging feature.

Anti-hedging feature: if the EA makes a trade in a certain direction and the pair goes in the opposite direction close the losing position and open a new trade in the CURRENT direction. Ride that wave and take profits. Then, wait for the wave in the new direction to come back around to the same close out price as the LOSING trade and reopen the trade again at the original losing trades' close ... this time in the correct direction.

Traditional hedging will generally work fine (especially when it doesn't cost you any extra against margin ... if it does you need to change brokers) as with most major pairs the daily up and down movements will enable you to take profit in both directions eventually ... if you're not too hung up on drawdown (DD) that is.

I'm curious, looking at the history of the trades ... was it a manual override that caused the large lot size trades? Or did the EA see something it was programmed to detect and it took a few disproportionately large risks with the HUGE lot size bet on it's own??

ForexInvestGroup, I really hope you decide to share your EA or at least talk the person who developed it into sharing it with us. I know it's JUST a forward test but at least they are still better than useless back tests, lol! Good luck and thank you for placing it's progress up here for all of us to drool over, I mean, see how great it's potential is ;)

Backtests are essential for every trading approach..

 I would always prefer an EA with solid 10 y backtest over a silly risk taking EA w/o any solid history.

What I mean is back tests don't tell much without a something resembling REAL market conditions. So, a forward test is somewhere in the middle in that it does have the moving prices and trends but not the other things like slippage and requotes. With a back test, there are no 'market conditions' per se. I would never start trading a robot on a live account based on a promising back test without first testing it forward on a practice account, that's all I meant.

О! Поздравляю, Игорь, Ваша популярность на этом сайте растет ! Так держать !!! 😎

Equity = 41%.... period.😎

,

This expert is not completely finished model. We own the already completed a model expert. But in the contest we can not put it. The volume of lots has been increased by the expert as he saw the critical drawdown of the deposit. And he went on micro lots. The system uses three types of trade. When he has accumulated lots of micro sufficient deposit to exit from the drawdown, he will do. But I am afraid that the end of the competition will not have time. Need a more active market.

Yeah, looks like you're gonna get a margin call..

Free margin is currently 87 467%. And the expert will not touch the large lots. When is the best situation, he will close the grid of large orders at no loss. Margin calls will not. But the first big chance of me already flies 😑 .

woo, men is this a kind of margin call?😐

Прежде чем высоко прыгнуть, нужно низко присесть, финиш рядом.

:(

the problem is not squat, but vtom that 2 minutes before the end of auction now all quotes and charts for exactly 1 minute only on EUR / USD and in 23-59 again, appeared all but unprofitable warrant system were removed. And in 23-59 advisers continued their work. Free money was USD 7000 on what is there to talk or stopout, margincall?

With this issue we turn to the broker or the organizer of the contest.

проблема не в приседании, а втом что за 2 минуты до окончания торгов исчезли все котировки и график ровно на 1 минуту только на EUR/USD а в 23-59 снова появились но все убыточные ордера были системой удалены. А в 23-59 советники продолжили свою работу. Свободных средств было 7000 USD о каком тут можно говорить маржин коле или стоп ауте?

С этой проблемой мы обратимся к брокеру или организатору конкурса.
