Model quality is 25% because the EA runs on the 1minute chart. Compounding results are just for fun; hence, look for my fixed 0.1 lot results by sorting under maximum pips won.

Nice results, is this your own EA?
I actually prefer to see compounded results, providing it's with a sensible risk percentage. You wouldn't be trading 0.1 lots once you had built up your capital. 11:15, restate my assumptions: 1. Mathematics is the language of nature. 2. Everything around us can be represented and understood through numbers. 3. If you graph these numbers, patterns emerge. Therefore: There are patterns everywhere in nature. |

Yes, this is my own EA. I started the design with fix 0.1 lot trading to determine the true drawdown. There is a saying - the poor take more risks than the rich. The rich are more into protecting their capital.

Could you explain to me why using a fixed lot size gives a better indication of drawdown than using a fixed percentage risk of the account please? I've never come across this before.

Hi - Very impressive results. Can you tell us a little about your strategy?
Looking through the trade lists, you seem to take trades at certain times of the day, and always close them at specific times - e.g. 17:00 / 18:00 / 20:00 etc. Haven't looked through all of 800 odd pages of trades, but this seemed very interesting and very precise and fixed entry points - i'm thinking that you may not use any advanced indicators at all... |

I don't think that the conventional wisdom is correct regarding a fixed percentage risk per the account. Let's say that you have two trading systems one with 6,000 pips drawdown and another with 2,000pips drawdown. If you use 3 percent risk on both systems then the system with 6,000 pips will guarantee to blow up first. Let's say that you have a trading capital of $5,000 for each of the trading system and 1pip =$1. The 6,000 pips drawdown system will blow up because the trading account cannot withstand a 6,000 pips drawdown. Your second account will easily withstand 2,000 pip drawdown when you trade with a fixed lot. In fact, you can trade with 1pip =$2 and it is still OK. Once you go to 1pip =$3 then you will risk blowing up your account. The risk should be calculated based on the drawdown of the system and not a percentage of the account. Let me know if this makes sense. Learn how to trade manually first before you start coding! |

Hi daCoops, You are very observant. I don't believe in indicators. If indicators really work then all the programmers in the world will be millionaires with their forex trading programs. My trading programs are based on the one hour chart and always open the trade at the beginning of the hour. If you go to lower time frames, you will experience lots of noise.

Let me know if this makes sense. I'm fully behind you there and I generally use Kelly Criterion to help give me an idea of the percentage risk that should be used for each strategy. I don't use it hard and fast ( that would be silly ) but it allows you to see which strategies warrant 1%, 2% etc. I feel that using compounding gives a better idea of how the strategy would be performing at all levels of equity. Once you've made a fair amount of profit on a backtest, opening a 0.1 lot trade would be a very small fraction of the equity. Fixed lot backtests are useful for getting the figures to feed into Kelly though. It also looks as though the percentage calculations for MyFxBook strategoes seem to work more accurately without compounding. My guess is this is how they intended it to work. 11:15, restate my assumptions: 1. Mathematics is the language of nature. 2.

Totally agree, indicators are a waste of time for trade entry. They have some uses for other purposes. 90% of the EA developers out there are using them ( they obviously dress them up as genetic based algorithms or whatever the latest pseudo scientific fashion is ) and that's why they end up selling their EA's for $97 instead of trading them live. 11:15, restate my assumptions: 1.

Are these your results from this year? 2010 pretty rough it looks like.
