Surprisingly mellow movements, 5-7 pips

Note current Egyptian turmoil, window coincided with President Hosni Mubarak speech

No BK logic, skirting on thin ice. Drop just at exit.

Why don't you trade real account?

I use v15 on real accounts, definitely not v11. I have manual oversight for certain events and while the trades are in play. With certain movements I can decide to lax the dynamic SL logic, something I'm working on now for the next iteration. Proving to be more difficult than anticipated but I'll plug at it until I get there.

The demos here I just let them run purely on the logic to see how they would perform by themselves.

Nice looking charts Raiden,

Would you care to share anything about the strategy or logic you are using? Scalping? Short term profit, etc.?

Curious why you trade USD/Yen I can't get much action out of this pair technically.

 Have you looked into Euro Yen? I see a lot of traders have luck with the pair as i do. It correlates well with 15 min time frame in terms of certain technical indicators, and if using a momentum system as i do the moves are usually extended enough to get in and get some profit before things turn. Just curious about your thoughts here.

GL with trading and development.

Wayne

2011-03-11 'Black Swan' event, massive 8.9 Richter scale earthquake hits Japan about 3.5 hours back.(0630 GMT) JPY strengthened across the board insanely. Had it happened in trading window, v16 smart SL logic would not have caught it. Test to failure for this. Implement 3rd layer hard SL logic.

2011-03-12 Coming out of the trading week and programming mindset, it just hit me that the comment above comes off as rather mercenary in light of the tragedy and loss of life. One can sometimes get too entrenched in work.

Sentiments aside, look for infrastructure plays. Steel and sand probably. Going to hell one trade at a time. Sigh...

2011-03-16 (1715 EST, 2115 GMT)

INSANE movements.
GBPJPY -530 pips
EURJPY -430 pips
AUDJPY -390 pips
USDJPY -320 pips
CADJPY -330 pips
CHFJPY -220 pips

USDCHF -170 pips
GBPCHF -310 pips
EURCHF -200 pips

AUDUSD -100 pips
GBPAUD +130 pips
EURAUD +170 pips
AUDNZD +160 pips
AUDCAD -120 pips

Another 'Black Swan' in a week, and this time smack in the middle of window plus after trades opened. Great data obtained. USDJPY hit fixed SL. EURGBP got out in profit. Velocity filters prevented recoveries and re-entries. System quite robust as is.
Add another current bar velocity filter to be safer.
Consistency above all.
