By optimization you probably mean curve fitting? I have read the the most robust systems are actually not too much optimized. the simpler the more robust they are. I wonder, when will you go live? been coding for years.

aud/jpy looks like showing similar double top to nzd/usd. I am long and locked 110 pips +0.5% in case I am stopped but I'm starting thinking if i should close and go short. probably not. will wait for real signal on this one. will check on new daily candle after midnight.

what do you mean by equity? unrealized or realized gain?

Steve, the more the better. you do not know how far the market can go. Trend trading in this regard has complete sense. what i am doing is the opposite to guys who let losses run and grew fat tails. Their balance looks good until they blow, but in my case I am trying to great my floating equity by getting on trend and let it run and go along by locking profits until I get stopped at profit. I am looking to get as much as I can.

moved stop on nzd/cad and got stopped. went short 2 more pairs: nzd/usd it is still speculative trade but very convincing double top and the test of trend line and cad/jpy is a signal according to the method nzd/jpy.

actually it is not so funny. I used ot trade MT4 oil, ECN spread paying 1 pip for each transaction. Those guys were making more money than I was when i was making it :) now, they almost always delay execution on MT4 and open trade at worse price. MT4 in this regard simply cannot be compared to Oanda.

Oanda is the best. New trader can trade a little bit while learning without losing bankroll if any. Oanda has unit based structure which allows to trade even $20 as if it is $100 K

guys, the point is that it is trend following. Taking few pips is not a goal, the goal is to get on big trend and ride it. You are right though. I have to learn lessons and avoid same mistakes in the future. it also comes to taking trades as signal generated. i missed a few last month because had doubts about pairs I had never traded before. They are in big trends now.

Could not sleep tonight. Thoughts of trade management mistakes taking partials and closing trades manually and not taking few signals which turned big winners. Eur/Aud is the biggest would be winner. 1200 pips now from my entry. Did not take aud/nzd thinking there is triangle on weekly. I already got it. in this kind of trading all signals must be taken without any thought. Stop loss is ATR based which is smaller, more losses but R:R is drastically improved for winners. All trades are taken out by market which means I move stop and let market decide. The case in point I closed e/u short. Good...

hard to understand what you are doing Steve. have you bought before moving stop down or you sold and moved it to BE?I think exact targets not always work. I was planning for 25 pips but had to close for half. price just did not go there.

bought wheat and corn yesterday. all trades but one turned green and floating equity is more than I lost. not taking no profits of course. if things go my way will lock full size profits. http://www.myfxbook.com/files/Chikot/trades_futures_6I.JPGbiggest worry are NZD trades. stuck therebetter not to think. i am taking signals and do not worry, cut losers, let profits run.

http://www.myfxbook.com/files/Chikot/eurusd_5_min_Nq.JPGexpected 2:1 on this. was 1.5:1 but never got to target, may be will but it's too slow. I expected a good stop run on this. took long tome so closed 1:1 R;R and was slow to react to add second half

why? it's better to take a loss. it looks like e/u. from my experience they are going for break of that trend line that formed over past few days lows. i do not mean it is going to be broken, I mean there is a good probability price will go to break it. you know, Steve, the smaller your loss the easier is to trade back it. ok, I start looking for opportunities.
