Why is the system not up to date on myfxbook.com?
[/quote]
Hi Rainer... Yes, I let that slide during our time down south - the publishing machines were not high on my priority list! Anyway, we are back in the frozen north so I've just reconfigured some MyFXBook publisher instances on another box. Still publishing the same two accounts. t.

Hi there Kishore,
Yes, there has been some challenging times in the past few months, although all things considered the Volatility Trader is doing better now than ever before.
June and July were difficult months for reasons that I've already outlined above -- we had some signals tuned to a bear market condition on cable that did not adapt well to the bull that ran from around May 18 to Aug 8, we also had some manual intervention (by yours truly) that reduced profits, etc. ......

Sept 29/10 quick update:
Most of August was spent developing the current signals. These new signals (10 trading long and 10 trading short) are all trend protected (i.e., they are aware of and trade with the larger trend) and are all modeled over 18 months of One Minute back data.
They have been running completely unattended since the beginning of September on our accounts at low "introductory sizing". Even though cable's been wallowing around they have done reasonably well, given the sizing and lack of clear trend on cable lately.
Stay tuned for more details!

It's a long story... but stay tuned, because when I have a little more time I'll explain what's going on and where we stand now with the latest signals that have been active since Sept 1/10.

2010.08.10 VTSS Update
If one studies the performance of VTSS over the past 4 months it is clear that something is up... We had two or three months of great performance pips-wise, and since then we’ve spent two months struggling to maintain the balance.
What has become clear over the past two months is that the VTSS system needs to be able to deal effectively with the larger trends that are occurring on the market. The new Sequence Set functionality allows our system to control trade entry based on whether or not the larger trend is supporting the direction of the trading signal.......

VTSS SPECIAL UPDATE
This is a special update regarding the status of some of the trading signals in the main 10 signal GBPUSD set.
THE PROBLEM
Analysis of recent signal performance has been done over the last two weeks and it has been found that 6 of the 10 signals (the 6 signals that only take short positions in GBPUSD) have been under-performing. When a per-signal performance breakdown is done it reveals that over approximately 6 to 7 weeks since the beginning of June these 6 signals are responsible for the bulk of the losing trades. Over-all the 10 signals are winning on a rati......

Week 20 Trading Update:
Week 20 was another tough week for trading cable, with an interesting sharp spike (sans typical retracement) and then drop in the price of cable, which the system is simply not configured (at this point in time) to recognize as a tradable condition. The non-recognizable-by-signals aspect of this type of price action is by intent, as to make the current signals take trades in this case is known to reduce overall profitability due to introducing larger loss potential - it's just one of those “trade-off things”…
USDJPY took its first trades this w......

Week 19 Trading Update:
Another “average” week in terms of pips earned, but somewhat below average in terms of overall trading activity (only 16 trades closed.)
Week 19 System Update:
Due to the imbalance between returns and risk on the old signal set it has been retired. As of the beginning of the current calendar week the system is running only the “new” signal set of 10 signals.
On Friday last at approximately 3:00 AM MDT the power-supply in the trading master computer died, leaving all open market positions entirely disconnected from the trading engin......
