I dislike dealing desks too. And martingales are tricky ones.

Yeah, I know about the 2 slot limit and how it can seriously cripple especially a system based on martingale.Thought demoing there is no problem since there are no slot restrictions on demo accounts.But that´s the reason I´m still open to ideas and looking for other brokers. I thought about FxOpen micro account too(a true micro account, penny for pip that is). Will be open to suggestions...

I am rather new to forex and trading in general but it seems that backtests(at least 90% accuracy) are only good for finding out if EA is any good in the first place and see what kind of effects different changes in settings do. If they seem to work as intended then they are worthy of forward tests :)Forward tests are used to confirm backtest results.If EA survives or manages to achieve something other than utter failure on demo account it should be TESTED on real account. Preferably with very small capital on micro account. This is the real test of any EA.So in general I think one should appr...

I am aware of these statistics. That is the reason why I am testing and researching.I believe that far too many of those who have lost money in forex have just plunged into it without proper research or guidance -> this I call stupidity.Some have done their homework and still lost money -> this I call streak of bad luck.Some have had success, even with smaller capital -> these people I haven't met 😁

I'm still searching for a good grid or more accurately just about to start intensive testing so can't give you anything on that yet.I'll first backtest to filter out really bad ones and to see promising settings and I'll then do forward tests to see how those will actually work. Then I will have to combine them all into one system and forward test that. I will update how it goes :)

Long story short:for a few months now I've been looking into forex. It started probably in the same way as with most people -> how to get a little more money.I stumbled across articles about forex and so on. I started to learn about forex, brokers, indicators systems and all that. I learnt about MT4, EAs, 'holy grails' and vendors. I found and devoured review sites(about brokers and EAs).I must say that last few months have been very interesting. I've learnt a lot and found out that I still know very little. But most importantly I found out what I want out of forex(I suppose...

Have you thought about or tried using a system where u have 6-10 charts open and 1 of those is on high risk settings and others are on a very low risk settings to bank the profits of the risky pair? I read about this idea on Forex-TSD.eg.9 pairs with low volatility and 1 high volatility pair. The moving pair(could use micro grid?) is to make profits and the stable ones are there to 'bank' the profits in.If the moving pair hits EP you'll lose at most 10% of account(if EP is at 100%). If it makes profit -> other 9 pairs baskets get bigger too(since all use account balance to calcu...

I'm asking this since you have been testing around with this so I thought you might have some information on this 😄It just seems unlikely for it to work as intended with a smaller basket.

Yes, I understand that one can have several more baskets if the size of basket is smaller. But doesn't that increase the risk quite dramatically? Of course profits can be higher too but risk is getting intolerable I think since the smallest lot is still 0.01(on micro).I have not backtested B3 at all so I can't really say how these settings effect so I'll just refer to manual.Because the way B3 trades the recommended(from manual) basket size for micro account is $500($239 is the actual value but to be safe it's rounded up and doubled) and by using LAF(multiplier, 0.5 default) th...

Thanks, I'll have to focus studying those settings.It reads in manual that you should use about $500 per open chart on micro account for B3 to trade "safely". So on a $2000 micro account you should trade only on 4 charts(each on 25% portion which gives us $500 per currency pair). Have you played around with this / noticed anything that confirms this?

Could this kind of option be added? So when you look at open trades you can see how they have changed since previous update? Maybe shown with colors(green/red) or with up/down arrows or something like that.Feel free to add to this idea...

I just have to say I feel that when trading with these kind of objectives it's foolish to trade with fixed lot size. Easier for sure but trading with percents makes it a lot smoother.As I see it you strive for 10% gain every week(a huge gain btw).e.g.Starting balance 1000$20 pips X 5 days a week1 = $100 (100pips x Pip Value)= Balance $1100That's a 10% gain. If you traded with 10% gain each week(lot size likely varies every trade) you have a very different profit curve:10% for week1 = Balance $110010% for week2 = Balance $121010% for week3 = Balance $133110% for week4 = Balance $1464In ...

@fxgym - Session is 19 to 5 in GMT. More conservative session time is around 20-23 in GMT.@kissaki - the relevant settings can be seen from the report page. Others settings are very much broker and currency pair related and should(must!) be optimized.I cannot stress enough that this strategy has been run in optimal situation! Result may and WILL vary.

This is called Dragonpips. It's a commercial EA, so you won't be getting it from me by e-mail.The cost is rather high so if you really want it there are places in the 'interwebs' where to download it for free. Just look for them. I do not recommend it(for copyright issues, you know the stuff) but it's your choice.This strategy run here is optimal case. Very likely that this will not run the same way on a live-account.
