The OP mentioned that his EA is trading nanolots. That's 0.001 lot = 100 units, or 1 cent a pip. So, we need to divide your figures by 100... that's not nearly enough for the poor broker. ; ) Especially if the EA is break-even or better.

It's not about lack of correlation. HKD is a managed floating currency, not a free floating one. The "managed" part refers to The Hong Kong Monetary Authority, de facto a central bank. Allowed fluctuation band against USD is between 7.75 and 7.85, ...

Spot on. Gold is more volatile than most currency pairs (majors and crosses), including GBP/JPY. And silver is typically nearly twice as volatile as gold.

Actually, retail trading of precious metals has been readily available for quite some time. Oanda, for one, has offered spot gold and silver against USD for about 5 years, since early 2006, as I recall, and added gold and silver against JPY last ...

Maybe basic, but certainly not silly. The original order was apparently based on relative currency values. That's no longer the case. Probably a good thing, considering the frequency and ease with which AUD, USD, CAD and CHF cross above and below 1 ...

What currency pair(s) are you using? What tools do you use for your backtest? If your system really has an R-ratio (avg. win / avg. loss) of 5 and Reliability (% wins) of 25%, then it's already an exceptional positive expectancy system, with a ...

Yes, your understanding is generally correct. It is that simple, at least in forex land. You call $5K loss in the first 6 months "huge"? Nah, you're probably doing better than most new traders, in any developed country... Back to taxes... let's be ...

I'm curious which part of that quote you selected you don't agree with. Your post doesn't tell us that. Here's the quote, once again: You don't agree with that, in what way? The answer to your question is 1 - ((1 - 0.5) x (1 - 0.8)) = 90%. And...?
