No, the biggest loser is found in the exact same way. I was talking about the confirming logic for deciding to cut and reverse the biggest loser. Confirm14 looks at specific confirming pairs, whereas Basket14 allows any pairs to act as confirming ...

I'm glad Confirm14_03 is working well for you. Maybe its specific trim criteria works better than Basket14 for choppy action.

MaxTrades is only to limit the number of initial trades, not the add-ons.

I found a bug in Basket14_Add. I fixed it and reuploaded to the first post.

No trimming, only adding. I guess I thought reversing a trimmed trade, which we currently do, would be about the same as trimming and adding to a winner. I want to see what happens if we just add to winners.

Yeah and as I think I about it I believe it will open trades about as often as Confirm14 trims... I didn't think that one through as well as I could have. Version 05 should be more viable. No solid idea if it will increase early profit taking (of ...

Folks, keep in mind it's a 500:1 account, that's why the high min equity level. Minimum equity levels around 300% should be quite safe. I came up with settings that keep us around 200%, pushing the envelope a little. As you test you can tweak the ...

Frazer, you might want to try Basket15_Add_01. You asked for something like this a while back, I believe. Every hour it adds trades to winning pairs. The adder lot size is one tenth of the normal lot size, or the smallest lot size if one-tenth is ...

My own testing showed that it would trim once in a great while. The problem is that the confirmation criteria are too specific to be useful. Lately with Basket14 we've been seeing trim action with no satisfactory equity pop because broad-based ...

Gaps don't matter much with a basket like this. Highest overall drawdown, can't rightly say. Frazerd keeps much more data.

We partially explored such a concept using "phantom trades". This eliminates the need for a separate demo account. We can take snapshots of exchange rates at a given time, pretend we have opened trades even though we did not, then track how our ...

When I'm in a heavy development phase, I am always trying new things. The "confirm" line of EAs is too specific in its confirmation criteria, I don't like it. With the Basket14 series, I'm looking at different ways to improve entries so we come into ...

That's a lot of trims Frazer! Do you have ExceedenceTrigger at 2?

Make up my mind? I said nothing contradictory. The fact that you read some contradiction into my statements reveals some cognitive dissonance on your part, and is probably a huge impediment to your trading. I explain on this forum exactly how I ...

Thoughts on 50:1 Leverage

All right, so now I'm sure a few of you are looking at balance and equity drawdowns and wondering if the EA will get you to a fresh equity pop at some point in the future. Thoughts? Emotions?

Only because eTrader used that timeframe with the Looser strategy, that's the only reason. As all signals are based on past information, it's mighty difficult to declare any signal "true" or "false". Bigger timeframe indicators CAN uncover a ...
