This account is running my self-made EA, “YenMastX”, two years in the making (and still under minor development). I was going to run both my EA and Primeval 2.1 on this account and then separate the 2 EAs on the charts. I will do this IF I continue to run Primeval. But at this point I feel it may be better to just trade Primeval 2.2 on Primevala’s managed account and run my EA here. All profit growth at this point is from my EA.

It’s easy to tack my EA as I am running only Euro/Yen and latter will add Pound/Yen (two pairs that Primeval does not trade). So, in short, look for the separation of these two EAs in the future.

My trading privileges cannot be verified by ATC as they cannot (or will not?) allow this due to their servers being unnecessarily taxed as they claim. I don’t like it, but I do like the speed and dependability of execution with ATC, so this is the more important issue.

Cheers

Looks good so far. Do you plan to sell the EA at some point?

Frustrating night. I have a 'breakout' feature that should have caught the move up in EuroYen. Checking my journal i see it did not work at all. I will have to get with my programmer and find the bug. I also cut the EA off 1 hour before ADP (ADP and NFP are the only times I will cut EA off as potential volatility is too high) my goal is to keep DD to a minimum. Shot myself in the foot today.

Hey Damon,

Thanks for the complement. Let’s hope we can both keep are charts looking sexy in the long run. We always hate the down times, but it’s the ability of an EA and/or a trading system to recover profit lost that is the basis of a true sexy chart here, right? Focusing on what pair(s) or strategy(s) work best for you is hopefully a key to success.

Fight the good fight


Hi Wayne,

If you are interested you could open a managed account at my brokerage, as much I would hate the competition :) I would love for my clients to have good investments, and not all their eggs in my basket. One basket is not diversification. I would also like to diversify myself. Most of my clients are friends and family so this would be greatly appreciated.

My Managed account just took a massive hard stop draw down, after investigation it seems that money going in and out of my account screwed up it's logic (Actually froze it's logic as it was outside parameters, I did not have this same drawdown, in my personal account in the same brokerage. A very hard lesson learned as I could not have learned anywhere but in the PAMM account.

If you are new to PAMM, put in code that resets logic when balance changes. This is what I have had to do to never have a logic freeze again. Mine previously would look for change if trade happened, if no trade happened it would not check balance.

I am very embarrassed about my graph now. My hard stops are not meant to be hit, they are for very VERY bad case scenarios like a war breaking out. My real stops hidden and dynamic so brokers don't hunt them. I hope you can avoid my mistake.
