Forward-testing is the only practical way to get an idea.

Looser Trading System (Version 0.01-1/3)

The backtester works on EAs where the only currency traded is the one corresponding to the chart it's attached to, and they EA only refers to that symbol via the Symbol() function.

Looser Trading System (Version 0.01-1/3)

I can pretty easily use conventional indicators on all six currency pairs, then wrap some math/logic around them to come up with composite values that drive the long/short bias decision. That's what I'm doing now in version 04. I picked breaks ...

madscalp, I think I could do that. I'm not familiar with WRVIM so there would be considerable development time for me, unless someone has already coded a multi-pair version of it that I can readily use in my EAs.

Looser Trading System (Version 0.01-1/3)

You place it on ANY chart (only one chart) and it trades all six pairs.

My journey with EAs has shown me that it requires mastery of a large body of knowledge to even get close to building successful EAs. If you are one of the rare few who know how to trade profitably, great...but it might take a lifetime to find a ...

Successful Automatic Trading - Like Chasing Bigfoot?

madscalp, you're welcome, you seem to really understand the strategy, as does eTrader, so I'll be looking at your guys' posts to refine the EAs. I believe I'm in synch with what you are doing but I do have my own take on determining long/short bias.

Looser Trading System (Version 0.01-1/3)

I think eTrader has shown the system has potential. Whether it's an "all-terrain, alll-weather" strategy will take time to determine. Here are fresh EAs to upload. Versions 01 through 03 now do not look for a rise in equity and balance to reset last ...

Maybe there's a thread that addresses running EAs in MetaTrader.

The MetaEditor provides a good programming environment, I like it. Happy coding!

The EA does everything automatically.

Close. EURGBP would have to be breaching low, not high.

Good point stevegee58. Not having all symbols shown has tripped people up including me.

Don't put all your eggs in one correlation basket.

Using pairs to confirm moves of others

Quoting myself....well my statement is not 100% true. A same-pair hedge can save your bacon. Let's say you put on a EURUSD short as the market goes strongly against a EURUSD long you opened earlier. The market hits a place where your losing long ...

What's the point of hedging?

I agree so much with eTrader. Correlation among pairs, and confirmation of a single currency's strength/weakness against multiple pairs, are important keys to seeing what the market is doing. I personally cannot do it manually, I MUST use automation ...

Same-pair hedging is useless, but synthetic hedges have their uses, especially when many pairs are involved. One would think the exchange rates of pure synthetic hedges would always stay arithmetically equivalent at any given timepoint snapshot, but ...

What's the point of hedging?

It's an approach that seems pretty obvious, I wouldn't be surprised to hear of others doing something similar. I did not dream up the selection of pairs myself. Trader101, whoever that is, may well be one of the people who influenced the people in ...

First, define some constants to keep your code readable, as follows: extern int Sunday = 0; extern int Monday = 1; extern int Tuesday = 2; extern int Wednesday = 3; extern int Thursday = 4; extern int Friday = 5; extern int Saturday = 6; Now, you ...
