Keep with the draw-down so you can learn how to be profitable while you're in it. Personally, I think most trading ocurs whilst in some form of draw-down because of the initial spread on each trade, so it should be expected that draw-down, whether it be big or small is inevitable. I know there is a ...

I didn't notice this until another member pointed this out earlier today too.

The forum has a problem on my end. All posts show they were posted today.

I hope the mods can look into this.

MA's also have plenty of fakeouts too. They seem most effective in the shortest time-frames where the market behaviour/volatility is most noticeable and where scalping is possible in case of fakeout.

When you have a good alternative strategy you will notice that MA's aren't as good as they look.

Don't over-complicate trading. This is all great for research purposes but I can tell you that predicting the future is impossible and any attempt to do so may actually work but your information will always be lagging and delayed, therefore it won't help for making your next move or determining risk...

Does anybody know if MATLAB has forex functions?

I would love to test Paul's theory as well. I do understand the ideas of fixing turbulence using turbulence in terms of super-position and cancellation effects of waves.

What do you think about IFR - Major Positions Summary?

I use this effectively as the catalyst for my custom bot to make an initial start decision on whether to be in long or short mode when it begins trading the day or week. It does seem to work reliably and their information appears to be reliable about the overall trend. I just want to see a show of h...

Michel, You're EXACTLY right. If we assume for a moment that our stop-loss was infinite (i.e. infinite margin), then it is only a matter of time for a trade to swing back into profit before you close it, even if you were to scalp it a pip at a time, therby increasing the number of winning trades clo...

It crashes because you are not managing the draw-down properly. My recmomendation to this program is, make it trade multiple-pairs at the same time with the same logic and you may find that other pairs will support and sustain it during periods in which any given pair experiences problems. This of c...
