I trade with Dukascopy and it would be lovely to have a Dukascopy upload option on MyFxBook.

So it's conceivable that pending the big news releases the markets are naturally slower on the Wednesday.Checking from the middle of June, the bias for shorts winning is definitely not there now. Some pairs are better long some short.If the system was just trading shorts though it would be in roughly the same position equity wise as it it with both longs and shorts in. If it was just trading longs it would be about $4000 better off.

I ran a quick test this morning on GbpUsd excluding Wednesday trades and it didn't corroborate the obversation over the longer term, so maybe it's just a freak anomaly. However it's very pronounced. It's possible that it's down to news releases. I wonder what day most of the major news releases are.Check out the daily winners profits versus losers losses on the system here.https://www.myfxbook.com/portfolio/cast-iron-man-tradency-feed/42411As you can see, without Wednesday there would be double the profit.I haven't checked the longs versus shorts during the recent bull ...

This is an interesting document - and I'll admit I only skim read it - however it doesn't appear to provide a reason for the statistical observations.I'm looking for fundamental truths here as I believe that only fundamental truths lead to a better understanding of the market. Drawing conclusions simply based on statistical analysis without any firm basis is poor scientific method in my opinion and generally leads to curve fitting your trading model.Here's an example of what I'm looking for. Cast Iron Man Aud/Jpy trades are bad on Fridays. Why is this? It's because a lo...

You can replicate a system with some hard work - depending on the system. You can't copy the trades. What's to stop me subscribing for the minimum of $500 and then after a few months replicating your system from the trades you have taken?

You're going to offer managed accounts for what appears to be an Asian session scalper?Do you have any backtests for your EA? Preferably ten years.Also, I don't see why your history isn't open on here. There's no way to copy a scalping system from a 5 minute delayed update ( in fact you can update less frequently if you want ).You will get more subscribers if you open up history.

I thought I'd take the opportunity to discuss the peculiarities of my trading with my EA and see if I can gather the collective wisdom of any other traders out there. Here are a couple of things I'm noticing from the results from my EA.Sell orders are far more profitable than buy orders. I'm familiar with this as a theory for breakouts. Human psychology seems to be better suited to believing that a break to the downside will go further than a break to the upside. I think our relationship with gravity has something to do with it.However, I'm also seeing that Wednesday is an appa...

Actually, thinking about it, it might be NordMarkets that are the ones to avoid. Nord FX might be okay.
Backtesting using LIVE or DEMO history data?

With regards to optimisation, the one thing to be aware of is that you haven't curve fitted the results. Always ensure that you can get similar results with slightly different settings.Say for example you are using a moving average and you work out that a 34 period MA works the best. Make sure you check a 32, 33, 35 and 36 MA and if you get widely different results then it's curve fitted and your good results are a fluke. This means that going forward the EA probably will not work.Also make sure that you run the optimised settings on there on and check the equity curve to again ensure ...

I don't think it is Dominic. I think it was someone who had just connected the Swiss FX account from his page to follow it. The trading privilege was not verified. In fact I think we might have just saved Ronaldaponte $2000

Rob, if you're talking about people using MT4 trade copiers, I could be wrong and I guess it depends on the way your broker has set up PAMM accounts but I don't think it's possible to copy trades from a PAMM account. The money is in effect transferred to your central PAMM account and your clients have no access to this account unless you give it to them.

This is "Dominic Milan's" latest attempt to promote his FX Super Genius robot.I've now managed to get in to the Forex Swiss account that he is promoting on his website currently.It's an account owned by Alfred Georgeson and the trades that are shown on this account match the trades shown on this account with Forex Swiss. ( screens attached ).This would seem to imply that Forex Swiss are about as bad as forex peace army make them out to be.My guess is that his latest strategy is to keep quiet and wait for people to email him on here to ask about the account and then direct...

There is no such thing as demo and live data for backtesting, as far as I am aware. There is only the one set of data which I believe comes from MetaQuotes themselves.Here are some things to be aware of when backtesting. The spread is fixed at the point you start the test, not quite after the start button is pressed, I think it's after it's finished spooling through the history file. So start a test on a variable spread broker and you'll get differing results depending on what the spread was at that instant. If you are scalping small targets or using small stop losses this can make...

Dominic is currently promoting an account on Forex Swiss on his web page at the moment ( see attachment ). I couldn't log in to this account at the moment maybe it's because it's the weekend.Here's what people at Forex Peace Army have to say regarding Forex Swiss - who I have actually used myself. I found them to have a highly dubious price feed.http://www.forexpeacearmy.com/public/review/www.forex-swiss.com
