Stickies for the forums in Ящик для предложений Aug 10, 2010 at 16:04

Hi,I realised today that there are no stickies for the forums. Was this a conscious decision?I think we would benefit from some. New users to the site might benefit from stickies such as "What to check before parting with your hard earned money to somebody that promises you millions"

I backtested Cast Iron Man over three years. 2007-2009.I would have done longer but it's pretty intensive and optimising each pair took around two weeks on three years of data.

I'm not sure why it's a benefit to not allow the upload of demo accounts?Demo accounts are indicated as such on here and it gives fledgling traders who aren't trading live accounts yet access to the same analysis tools as live traders get. Which is a good thing right?

Obviously it's good to help other people out, that's one reason for doing it.However another good reason is uncertainty. Even when you know you can make money trading, there is still that little doubt in the back of your mind saying. "What if something changes? What if I suddenly can't trade? What if the markets change? What if the governments do something that stop me trading?"I think trying to get to whatever magic number you have in your mind beyond which trading is just a pastime and not a necessity as quickly as possible is a viable reason to provide services for oth...

Is there anything available for Dukascopy platform? in Ящик для предложений Aug 10, 2010 at 13:22

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.

Thanks for that much appreciated.

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? in Общее Aug 10, 2010 at 07:32

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

Do you have a website or something with more details of this EA?

RWFXM - KINGDOM in Торговые системы Aug 09, 2010 at 10:13

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...
