Hayseed, okay, I see where you are going with this. You've not explained what the method is for the drawdown exploitation, but you are probably right -- this may no longer be the right place. Dreamliner, I think this becomes your call at this point. ...

Hayseed, Thank you for your efforts. You have me very curious now though. This demo EA seems to have all the functionality we have discussed in this forum to date. So, I'm wondering what additional functionality you are seeking to include. I ...

The, usually 2, sometimes 1 stranded positions is the cost of collecting pips on the way up to wherever the market stops. If you want to make sure you only have one base position that might get stranded you should consider Timefreedom's Aphid EA ...

Generally speaking, I find lighter colored shorts work better for me ... oh, umm... sorry, I guess that isn't where you are coming from. I guess I hope you just forgot, and will remember... Because the alternative doesn't sound like it's going to ...

Let me give #6 a try here, and Dreamliner can tell me if I've got it wrong. You are in a downtrend and have some number of open positions creating an average entry price. You also have a (large) number of buy stop orders between your last entry, ...

Neal, just a couple of points. First, in your instructions, at one point you say: "Now as common sense would tell us, the EMA's are moving all the time. That's where an EA comes in to monitor them and adjust them till one is penetrated." ... But ...

Okay Neal, I've followed you over to here now. Good luck with the new project!

Hayseed is coding an EA with all of the original rules from Dreamliner, but is adding some twists too. That hasn't been posted yet. The EA that is posted implements the rules for the system that Dreamliner derived his system from. There is a link ...

As I watch this discussion evolve I feel I should point out that my 3 week back test was based upon evaluation at 3PM EST (Aphid rule), and adding a new position anytime the average position was 100+ > the 3PM EST open. Dreamliner is more definite ...

Dreamliner, I'd love to backtest all of January. Would you please ask my wife to let me do it You see, she doesn't even know I'm fiddling with FOREX. I'm trying to win enough to convince her that I can do it. First I have to convince ...

Well, as a very small example check this out. Early this month I had a micro position in GBPJPY of .03, which was holding $1.50 of my margin. That position was held through the close of the NY session and so it earned swap of 8 cents. That is what I ...

You're killing me, man!... Neal is kind enough to offer it for free. I'm as eager as the next guy to see 1.6; but I'm sorry. It is just bad form to press him like this. WHEN it is done, AND IF Neal wants to let us play with it, he will post it. If ...

Well I finally found some time to compute some comparisions between the original method and Dreamliner's rendition. It certainly isn't a broad test. I only worked out trades for the last 18 trading days. I don't know about the rest of you, but those ...

Thanks TimeFreedom, you are right. I originally thought there was a limitation to what time the evaluation is done, but you handle that, and so much more very elegantly. Only one question. In the money management area, you have something called ...

Oh, and another thought rattled around in my brain this morning. I was wondering, what if we were to base the additional positions on something like 1/2, or 1/3 of the 15 day ATR. That way if the market is zooming down, you will potentially avoid ...

Hayseed, I trading through IBFX. The spread on GBPJPY is typically 9 pips. This is significantly different from Dreamliner's OANDA spreads. I'm still trying to determine how that factors with the 10 pip TP. I am considering that it might be better ...
