Great post Dial, this quote in particular caught my eye. Some systems, great systems in fact, have only a few percent, or even lower, of an edge. Las Vegas make billions of dollars on a few percent edge. If a trader takes a system for a ride, say 20 ...

Coulda, shoulda, woulda..... a losing game.

If you want to check the accuracy, go through the trades the EA made by hand on the chart and make sure everything is correct. In the end I would handtest the strategy, and like Phil said spreads can make a system that turns 1,000 into 1,000,000 ...

Questionable Strategy Tester Results.

This is a journal, not a signal service. This is strickly for traders to document their trading techniques, and in this case a trading EXPERIMENT. It has already been mentioned that traders should not trade based on this thread.

Low Risk, High Reward Trading Experiment

Ok, open a chart with an RSI already attached. Open your explorer window on the left hand side and drag and drop your BBands onto the RSI window. In the BB parameters box chose Apply to: First or Previous Indicators Data. See attached. Hope this ...

"Drag & drop" problem

I have no idea what those numbers mean, but their capital increased quite a bit. 750K increase. So if their excess was -400K, then taking into account the capital increase, the excess was really 350K. Disclaimer: I personally think nothing in this ...

Gosh Peter, you made him wait 5 entire minutes for the indicators. What kind of a friend ARE YOU!

Camarilla pivot

LOL, no worries mate. I tend to observe more of the humor in people rather than the seriousness most, if not all, of the time. Anyways back to the thread topic: Get over it!

Broker Complaints …Get over it!

I personally opted for option 3 per Phils post. Not that it's the least complicated, but it "should" be the most accurate. Expect to spend hundreds of hours. It pays off.

Backtesting?

I was referring to his avatar, no clue what you're rambling about, nor do I care to be honest.

Broker Complaints …Get over it!

I think I'm going to print this out and sticky it to my monitor. I'm not joking.

Stockwet, have there been any new developments in that case that I may have missed? Did any legal action arise?

beware newbie..Forex is crazy

I know you're not gonna believe me but the same thing used to happen to me. I ended up just buying the Interbank and everything is great now.

beware newbie..Forex is crazy

Indicators are for the birds.

no more indicator?

LOL. Doesn't that child have cancer by now! I enjoy your humor squat.

Broker Complaints …Get over it!

Aye, great article. I think this is especially pertinent to a lot of systems. After trading them for some time, one can expect to get a feel and actually look forward to these obstacles. Yes, obstacles can mean losing trades, and thus drawdown, but ...

Ah, my mistake, it was six FULL days. That explains everything, sorry I was wrong.

Ok, I'll dilvulge. My millions came from this indicator as well. I actually found it the first day I learned about forex. Do a search on Google for 'holy grail indicator,' you can't miss it.

Beginners have faith! fast progress is possible

Make sure you fully understand. Get an MT4 demo account and place a couple orders. They only have to be like 10 pips away, shouldn't take too long to trigger them unless you're trading during the asian session. Observation is more helpful than ...

When to add spread?

If I were you Tim, and I'm not, I would backtest this strategy for a years period or more. With a 1 hour chart, you could possible have a couple trades a day during ranging conditions, so I think a year would be sufficient. If you can post (or not ...
