Simple example: Buy EURUSD and Sell EURUSD, that's a same-pair hedge. For a synthetic hedge, you could Buy EURUSD, Sell EURJPY, Buy USDJPY; this is a synthetic hedge because you have Bought EUR Sold USD Sold EUR Bought JPY Bought USD Sold JPY See ...

It appears to me that Pinhead was being facetious.

In this entire thread, you're LOOKING at a big synthetic hedge.

What allows you to call ClearSymbolMarks all the time with no weird effects is the fact that the AllSymbolTradesInProfit and !SymbolMarked checks are redudant. Both are ways to prevent excessive trades on a symbol.

How long are you waiting for new trades to open? Do you understand the entry criteria?

Starting a demo with Phantom14_Add_02_taz to see this for myself.

You guys probably have the feel now for how each new blend of tactics is not based on perfect trading wisdom, just a few tools in the bag that have been proven to work quite often, added to new ideas as they arise. Of course we filter any proposed ...

It's not that specific. Different pairs can present themselves as biggest phantom winners inside of an hour. When one does, we open a trade for it and tag it as already traded that hour. The 01a idea might create too many "noise" trades, we'll see.

As long as all trades were different pairs inside the same hour, it's trading as intended.

You are probably running up against the BidsHaveChanged check, which requires in part that all pairs' bids be non-zero in order to take any trading actions.

But is it one of the six pairs?

Cool, I like to see people trying various things with the EAs.

Since the actions are only taken on minute 0, it's very possible that none of the six pairs are popping up as biggest phantom winner.

Version 01: Every hour, add a trade to any phantom pair that is a biggest phantom winner during 59 minutes of the hour, not just minute 0. Require that all preexisting trades on the pair be in profit. Version 01a: Same as 01, but also reset the ...

That's remarkable, but I'm wondering what can thwart this strategy. What about a widespread reversal where we have too many pairs committed to one direction to effectively go with the new direction, assuming we leave same-pair hedging off the table ...

I would like to try a lot of things before I go back to trim'n'reverse.

Don't know if it was exactly what you were thinking of doing.

Taz's code already had the requirement all previous trades on the pair be winners. The biggest phantom winner/loser criterion replaces the +/-20 pip criterion. It trades all 14 pairs.
