Hi Rainer... Yes, I let that slide during our time down south - the publishing machines were not high on my priority list! Anyway, we are back in the frozen north so I've just reconfigured some MyFXBook publisher instances on another box. Still publishing the same two accounts. t.

Hi there Kishore,Yes, there has been some challenging times in the past few months, although all things considered the Volatility Trader is doing better now than ever before.June and July were difficult months for reasons that I've already outlined above -- we had some signals tuned to a bear market condition on cable that did not adapt well to the bull that ran from around May 18 to Aug 8, we also had some manual intervention (by yours truly) that reduced profits, etc. These issues have been dealt with and we should not see performance difficulties due to these factors we were dealing wi...

Sept 29/10 quick update:Most of August was spent developing the current signals. These new signals (10 trading long and 10 trading short) are all trend protected (i.e., they are aware of and trade with the larger trend) and are all modeled over 18 months of One Minute back data.They have been running completely unattended since the beginning of September on our accounts at low "introductory sizing". Even though cable's been wallowing around they have done reasonably well, given the sizing and lack of clear trend on cable lately.Stay tuned for more details!T.(And yes, August was...

2010.08.10 VTSS UpdateIf one studies the performance of VTSS over the past 4 months it is clear that something is up... We had two or three months of great performance pips-wise, and since then we’ve spent two months struggling to maintain the balance.What has become clear over the past two months is that the VTSS system needs to be able to deal effectively with the larger trends that are occurring on the market. The new Sequence Set functionality allows our system to control trade entry based on whether or not the larger trend is supporting the direction of the trading signal. So!!!....

VTSS SPECIAL UPDATEThis is a special update regarding the status of some of the trading signals in the main 10 signal GBPUSD set.THE PROBLEMAnalysis of recent signal performance has been done over the last two weeks and it has been found that 6 of the 10 signals (the 6 signals that only take short positions in GBPUSD) have been under-performing. When a per-signal performance breakdown is done it reveals that over approximately 6 to 7 weeks since the beginning of June these 6 signals are responsible for the bulk of the losing trades. Over-all the 10 signals are winning on a ratio of approxima...

Week 20 Trading Update:Week 20 was another tough week for trading cable, with an interesting sharp spike (sans typical retracement) and then drop in the price of cable, which the system is simply not configured (at this point in time) to recognize as a tradable condition. The non-recognizable-by-signals aspect of this type of price action is by intent, as to make the current signals take trades in this case is known to reduce overall profitability due to introducing larger loss potential - it's just one of those “trade-off things”…USDJPY took its first trades this week ...

Week 19 Trading Update:Another “average” week in terms of pips earned, but somewhat below average in terms of overall trading activity (only 16 trades closed.)Week 19 System Update:Due to the imbalance between returns and risk on the old signal set it has been retired. As of the beginning of the current calendar week the system is running only the “new” signal set of 10 signals.On Friday last at approximately 3:00 AM MDT the power-supply in the trading master computer died, leaving all open market positions entirely disconnected from the trading engine and no longer un...

Long-term trends em Negociantes Experientes Jul 07, 2010 at 03:38

Hi Trend-follower.The latest version of our Volatility Trader engine (4.0) can use larger-than-trade-signal timeframes to establish long and short trends. After trends are established, the system allows use of both negative and positive dependencies on trading signals. For example, a long trade signal will be ignored if either the Long Trend indicator is not on or if the Short Trend indicator is on.So I suppose the answer is "Yes". Currently we are modeling new trading signals for the USDJPY pair that are trend compliant.t.VT Signals Service

Week 18 Trading Update:This past week seemed to be just about “average”, if one judges by the pips earned during week 18 and the established average. That said, similar to the situation from last week, there was a set of positions that stopped-out at relatively large expense, which brought down the performance significantly. If we can have few weeks without taking these hits then things should continue up nicely again. As it stands right now, it seems that the system is more or less recovered from the damage that occurred in June and hopefully things continue on where they left ...

Hi Kishore,I might do that for you... I can ask one of our $5k clients if they mind us publishing their results. That said, the results are the same as the published results here -- same wins, same losses, just sizing is 0.05 on 1:1.t.

Week 17 System Update:Week 17 was essentially flat. It was a difficult week due to a set of three positions yesterday that were so close that they looked stop-hunted, which took out around 550 pips of the week’s gains of 500 pips. (In case anyone was watching and wondering about this set, even though the stops looked hunted, they were not: the price action was observed at multiple brokers and back-ends. It’s important to bear in mind that our brokers are STP to the ECN (“straight through processing” to the “electronic communications network” – i.e.,...

Hi Kishore,That account belongs to one of our American clients. The brokerage that was being used for that account decided to offload all American clients due to some kind of pressure from their liquidity providers to not provide unregulated brokerage services to Americans. That is why the account was closed and moved to an alternate brokerage that still supports our American clients.t.

Week 16 System Update:The system has performed quite well over the past week, earning almost 1,000 pips over the past 5 trading days. In terms of market synchronization, it appears that the system may have completed emerging from the drawdown incident that occurred during week 15, due in part no doubt to the help of the new British budget that buoyed sterling today after previous uncertainty going into the UK budget release. Also on a positive note, it looks at this point that with the new signals configuration the average weekly performance of the engine should be generally improved from th...

System Update:Well, it had to happen sooner or later…As was known from the start, 100% winning performance week-over-week is not to be expected. Indeed, the signals design is such that the stops are relatively tight in order to prevent run-away losses, and an implication of this design is that there will be periods of loss. In backtesting of the signals sets we HAVE NOT seen any past periods of balance and/or equity loss when calculated from the first of any given month to the first of the following month. However, we DO see occasional instances of balance and/or equity loss when com...

System Update:The first few days of June have been quite positive, with accounts up from around 10% to around 20% in the first 8 days, depending on client-selected money management sizing.All 19 signals are in full market synchronization now, and the system is running 100% unattended. We are currently fully allocated at the small account category ($5,000 - $9,999), but still have room for a few medium sized accounts funded between $10,000 - $24,999. VTSS will always make room by implementing more trading systems for large accounts over $25,000.Note that if you do want to start an account in ...
