Pro,

any EA writers out there should be able to code an EA to test this against historical data. The EA could easily include semi-martingale (optional) for a max of X-number of mart entries at Y-pips in the hole.

I worked with a group of guys for about 6 months on EA's. We tested all kinds of settings and finally had a GREAT setup that successfully made it through 2 years worth of data!!

A couple of guys went live in Dec/Jan. Margined out in Feb/Mar!!!

I was demo so I only lost time.

Man, Ive got to better refine my entries.... I missed a perfect trade by 4 pips.
I'm noticing this has been happening a lot if I don't use the Z-line as entry and go for "invisible" sup/res instead.

why not risk 1% per trade and make 4x your risk each day ?

or 2% per trade and make 8% a day

risking it all for 2% is crazy


maybe it takes 3 months, 2 years or 10 years but there will be one time it moves against you and drains your bank


Appears you did not think first.
And missed a large part of the post........The money NOT wanting to be risked in the market is UNDER the mattress.

Get a grip, ea's can't think/feel/or adapt on the fly.

es,
I love you man.

You've been the center of many a topic between my wife and I, and she's usually NOT on my side.

I know they can't think/feel or adapt on the fly. There is no adapting in a 10 pip or Margin-call plan. The ONLY thinking is in the original buy or sell.

An EA can easily test this method since in a trading simulator, you can invoke the buy or sell (the only chance you get to think in this plan) at the appropriate time!

10 pips or margin call, run it again and enter the market at a different time.

Buy this time, instead of sell.

The purpose of the EA is not to trade the system, only to check out the viability of your MM scheme.

You have a MM idea that can be easily back-tested, that's all I'm saying.

Your dead wrong.
Sorry, Answer me how the hell an ea can know at what type of momentum or speed price moves to a certain level...or how it acts just before it hits a level.
Or best of all, you think an ea can read market sentiment? Does an ea have any s**t idea what is going on in the geo-politcal arena?
Does an ea know if the market is in a trending environment or has been ranging for days/weeks/months?

No, No, and Nope.
An EA will NOT back-test a discretionary trader with any accuracy at all.
Try it on momo/50% re-trace and see what happens.

The ONLY THING you had in your original MM idea that was DISCRETIONARY was the WHEN you made your order. After that it was 10 PIPS or Marginal CALL!!!!

I SAID you can use an EA to BACKTEST whether your MM idea is worth a s**t OR NOT!!!!!

I didn't say ANYTHING about using an EA to trade.

To BACKTEST YOUR MM IDEA!!!

I didn't say a f&#*g word about using it to ENTER the trade.
