I have also tried the find a system that hemorrhages money and take the opposite trade and the same thing happened to me- they still lost money.

So its not just newschool who cant code. :lol:

I think what causes a mechanical system to lose money is two things.
1) exits, which are hard to code, and
2) filtering bad entries, which is also hard to code

G. (glad to see someone can use RSI)



The point is NOT that you guys cant code.
It takes a hell of a trader to turn on an ea and make consistent pips.
But this trader KNOWS exactly when to turn it on and EXACTLY when to turn it back off so it doesn't self destruct.....LOL

An unsuccessful trader will NEVER be able to trade an ea without it eventually cratering. Too many variables.

And you've both stated that you've tried.......and failed....get the picture.

So because YOU couldnt do it doesnt work?

Well I left engineering university to code and test Forex strategies for almost 1 full year now, working on the computer each day for 8 hours. I had to rack some debts to pay rent/food since all my time was devoted to trading. So if you don't want to take my word, its your loss...

My mind is pretty clear on what EAs can do now. I think the only way they can be more successful than a human, is on pure mechanical systems, wich are high-frequency or scalpers. Exactly the approach Kreslik has taken.
A discretionary strategy like the MZ can be automated and be positive, but I just dont see the point since it will be way more successful if traded manually (I tested it).

Pro youre right about knowing when to turn a bot on, and that why I use them for entries when I see the setup I want on the horizon.... It can enter where I want, set my stops and then send me a text to come check out the trade ;)

newschool, I think the point of a bot is not necessarily to be more profitable than a manual trader, but to be profitable enough to give the trader some (ideally all) of his TIME back.

I wonder what OBV would look like if calculated using CC as 3 candle CC often yield a longer series of same colored candles...

I have been drawing the boxes from the OBV extremes as shown in the picture below.

It is hard not to look at this indicator...

That said, using the same alignment as your CC should work just fine. I am still working OBV into my strategies...

mine are drawn to coincide with the CC's, rather than the other way around.

I should have it finished later today.

OBV sure did nail the March 09 S&P low. There's value here. Thanks MO for showing us this.

Will someone on this board please answer me a couple questions.....???

First, who in the hell is buying after a 200+ pip move straight up?

Not suppose to be the heard and "chase" price.......yeah right.
Most times I do and it reverses Immediately draining my account,
Soooooo.

Not suppose to reverse against "trend".
Most times I do, and it Buries me.

See how price comes back below support, then it comes back a couple times to support, then it won't even come back for a re-test.....WTF?
And that's after price has moved THAT far......

How?

I've about had it!

Help please.........!!!
