Thanks, results look nice
Although i have to make a comment on this one: On average you lose 1900/87 = 22 points per loser. Let's say you risk 2% of your equity on each trade. So in those 11 years you make 6200/22 = 282 times whatever you risk. ...Trading Gold - An End of Day System

Either get a broker which enables you to trade WTI on mt4 (i know markets.com for example does), or get a live price feed from internet and read the data from there. I believe Excell has some api which allows to get data from yahoo finance live. ...
indicator based on WTI and USD Index
- esquire replied Jun 20, 2011
Don't know if that makes any sense, it's for one incredibly hard to measure (what's a trend and what's not), and i think all trends are more or less independent. Currently still like the "close half at x pips & let the other half run" idea. Yet the ...

paulbt38, i think you shouldn't use recovery with this strategy. It's not designed for these kind of systems where you are trading everywhere in the market. Recovery is usefll when trading the boundries of the markets, where the odds of return are ...

A fascinating read for all

Try testing it before that, start somewhere in 2008 & watch the equity line going down. My point is that the couple of trades that do make this profitable (check your equity line, it will show you 5/6 steep lines up) are insignificant, and could be ...
EUR/USD Moving Average Cross EA
- esquire replied Jun 19, 2011
Tested it. It does look good in the last couple of months, 5 or 6 very profitable trades made up for all the losers in that period. But if you go back to the period before 2010, this strategy is a terrible loser. I think those couple of good trades ...

Thanks fxdaytrader_
Any good results to far with the ea? Tried to make something similar some time ago. The point with ichimoku was (for me) that it gave far to many false signals to make something profitable from it, and it's hard to try ...Ichimoku Kinko Hyo EA v1.1

Anybody still using the EA RR put on here some time ago? I left it running for 2 weeks in some corner of a VPS, and check it's results every now and then, but i love it! Get's rid of the losers quick, and let the winners run. The only thing you have ...

Jollyroger, can you tell me the precise method how to trade? If i know what to do i can mod the code (which only needs little adjustments, thanks to steve

Fixed the problem i guess, please try out this one. This makes sure dayopen = price at 6 GMT. Just had to add the parameter gmt_offset, which is the offset of the broker (so the mt4 platform), so NOT of the local computer. Sorry, didn't know how ...

Thanks a lot for the explanations. The setup was indeed on EURUSD at 15:13 GMT. No news as far as i know, the trade just was a short retracement, after that eurusd went up again. After +/- 25 pip drawdown it went back to the entry price, but i guess ...

Thank you very much for that. But i still don't quite get how you determine the exact moment you enter a trade. For example the pic you just posted, why do you enter there and not for example a couple of bars back (where there already was a 2 bar ...

First of all my compliments, you seem to really nail the market here
About your mm: why don't use more than those lots? Your biggest losses seem to be just 10/15 pips, with such losses you can afford to take bigger lots and still risk relativly ...Zerolag MACD
