EAs WITH BRAINS - Aritificial Neural Network Trading. in Programming Mar 23, 2014 at 15:32

You can checkout my blog (http://mechanicalforex.com/2014/01/neural-networks-in-trading-building-a-powerful-trading-brain-with-several-nn.html), there are many other posts as well on the subject (you can use the search bar to look for other articles on my blog). I have built many NN and other machine learning implementations using constant retraining, etc. I generally use the FANN and Shark libraries for the building of machine learning strategies. With our programming framework it's very easy to build complex, constantly retraining neural networks and live trade them on MT4/MT5/JForex/Oan...

Backtesting solutions in Programming Jun 09, 2013 at 19:22

Hi Guys,@beren: No problem :) I understand where you're coming from. There is no trial because it's very hard to give a "trial" for something that you get open access to. If I had a free trial for 1 month then people could just "get in" take the F4 source and then simply avoid joining the community. You should consider that all our trading framework solutions are completely open source (meaning that you have access to all the code), so it is impossible to give a free trial (as if you get it, you have it forever). This allows you to do whatever you want with the prog...

Backtesting solutions in Programming Jun 04, 2013 at 01:15

Hi Petays,Disclaimer: I am the owner of Asirikuy, in charge of developing the F4 framework. I just happened to come across this post by chance :) Let me say a few things about the characteristics of the F4 framework:* Developed in ANSI C and Open source (the code is fully available to you so you can modify it in anyway you want). You can always code any functionality you might need.* Front-ends developed for MT4/MT5 (Available now). Oanda REST API (the free version they will release next year) and JForex front-ends in developments (not released yet)* Trades natively in MT4/MT5 through an EA t...

Important - Auto Update Issue in General May 31, 2013 at 02:52

I just wrote an open letter to Metaquotes: http://mechanicalforex.com/2013/05/an-open-letter-to-metaquotes.html, which I wanted to share with you. I bet many of you feel the same way

Important - Auto Update Issue in General May 30, 2013 at 13:35

mmm... well myfxbook can also pay for proxies http://proxybonanza.com/ which would allow for added security/control

Important - Auto Update Issue in General May 30, 2013 at 13:24

Myfxbook should, they can route their connections to MT4 servers through free proxies, thus eliminating any possible filtering that Metaquotes might make on their servers. If they have 70K+ accounts, they can route them through 100 free proxies, having only 700 connections per proxy which if they divide evenly amongst brokers would result in no disconnection issues (I believe). Worth a try at least.

Important - Auto Update Issue in General May 30, 2013 at 12:58

I suggest myfxbook implements the auto-update feature through internet proxies. Choose a random proxy to update each account, this should get around all the problems from Metaquotes attempting to block large number of connections from a single IP or the myfxbook IP addresses. You can get a list of free proxies here: http://hidemyass.com/proxy-list/.

VPS Land in VPS Services Aug 19, 2011 at 12:13

Hello Guys,I used VPSLand from 2007 to 2011 and last month - tired of what must be the worst customer support in the world - I decided to quit. I experienced countless reboots, unexplained downtime, arrogant attitudes, etc. You can read a longer review of VPSLand I wrote here: http://mechanicalforex.com/2011/08/open-letter-to-vpsland-a-review-of-a-long-term-customer-using-vpsland-for-trading.html . Long story short, do NOT use these guys if you need reliability for your trading,Best Regards,Daniel

Request Invitation Link on API in Suggestion Box Jun 22, 2011 at 14:13

Hello Guys,I would like to suggest the addition of the Invitation link to the API so that a person can build a table which has dynamically updated private links. This way the showing of results online without making results public will be far easier :o) Thanks in advance for your attention!Best Regards,Daniel

Cent accounts showing up as Cent accounts in Suggestion Box Apr 28, 2011 at 16:30

AccountBalance() will show balance as it displays (so in a cent account it will show the balance in cents and there is no way to tell they are cents and not dollars). However different brokers usually assign cent/real accounts to different servers so it is a simple matter of myFXBook recording which servers are real Vs which servers are cent in order to label accounts appropriately. I think this would be a fine addition although further verification would be needed to confirm that brokers do not manage both account types on the same server.

New Publication Method - Outstanding! in General Apr 26, 2011 at 20:49

This feature is absolutely amazing :) The most important thing is that this means that myfxbook has a direct MT4 API. This opens up the door to direct trading with MT4 servers without Metatrader (which would be amazing).

use mt4 investor password to download our data in Suggestion Box Nov 28, 2010 at 12:59

Wouldn't it be possible to do a "weekly update" option using just investor access ? You can easily update accounts once a week (even once a day) by directly accessing broker servers. The weekly update option could even only work around market close so brokers wouldn't mind the additional traffic. Certainly this would provide a very good option for those people who do not need to have constant updates but just a general daily/weekly updated overview without the hassle of setting up an EA/FTP publisher. What do you think ?

PinPoint Wizard EUR/CHF in Strategies Jun 07, 2010 at 14:47

Hi Steve,I just want to leave a short post here to warn you about the many flaws inherent to your testing results and some ways to get around them. The first and most important is the general lack of execution parameters, since the strategy tester does not take into account spreads,liquidity, slippage, etc, you can be easily overestimating profitability by several orders of magnitude. The second problem is related to one minute interpolation errors which are most likely the cause of the major part of your profitability. If your expert does not explicitely enter or exit trades on the close/ope...

=Tiger 2 EURUSD= in Strategies Jun 06, 2010 at 21:36

Hello Everyone, I absolutely agree with Elkart, myfxbook will now become a very dangerous place for people new to automated trading systems, managed accounts, etc since most new traders are not aware of all the things that can be done to make backtesting results show incredible, unrealistic results. More over, the authenticity of the backtesting results cannot be verified in anyway since the statements can be modified before uploading and this also puts people at an incredible danger of being ripped off. As Elkart said, this system uses control points and has absolutely no modeling validity, e...

Ayotl No.2 FXClearing EUR/USD in Trading Systems May 17, 2010 at 17:09

Hello Civfan,I am glad you have noticed the open trades :) In fact this recent down trend on the EUR/USD has triggered the opening of some very profitable trend following trades. The power of Ayotl does start to shine as big trends develop. Hopefully we will be able to cash big time on the rest of this move,Best Regards,Daniel

Portfolio Invitations in Suggestion Box Mar 24, 2010 at 15:57

This is something I have been thinking about and wanted to share with you. Currently the invitation system requires us to generate separate URL invitations for all the private trading systems we want people to access. For people like me, who regenerate these invitations frequently, it becomes quite tedious. What I suggest is a feature which allows the generation of a single invitation for a whole portfolio. This would allow us to regenerate invitations for a bunch of accounts and allow access to several accounts without having to generate many different URLs. I hope you guys like it an impleme...
