Client $6k 1x risk Varianse ECNpro Diskussion

FxMasterGuru, do you feel liquidity and normal spreads have returned back to the market now? I see over the end of December period performance suffered with these factors...

It was unfortunate for this client to double up his account risk just days before the massive DD, which was obviously due to Holiday season related low liquidity and lack of 'big players' on the Asian session markets. Probably those 'big players' were already playing on the plush ski-resorts of Aspen, Davos and St. Moritz at that time... Lesson has been learned for next year.

My steady 1x risk REFERENCE ACCOUNT gives a more realistic picture of the strategy's performance at an A-booking pure STP/DMA broker: https://www.myfxbook.com/members/FxMasterGuru/robosniper-1x-risk-reference-account/1883830

In summary: December was closed with 8% gain and January is already up with +4% profit.

To answer your question: Yes, Asian session liquidity and the 'big players' (whose footsteps the strategy is following) seem to be returning, although slowly. In regard to spreads, I have not noticed major changes at my broker over the past weeks, except for the (22:00:00 GMT) daily rollover related spread spikes which were more frequent in early and mid-December.

Thanks I am just wondering if should turn my other EAs back on yet or wait till next week... cheers mate

Thanks for your sharing constructive insight! 😀

If you had read the above post of mine carefully you would be aware that my strategy has been profitable each and every month since August 2016. But apparently my post was too long for you read...

Anyway, I see that you have just re-registered with a different user name on MyFxBook, and one of your first actions was to attack me, which means that you must be one of the scammers I have put out of business...

Grid Trading.....
This trader is desperate to minimize his losses.

This desperation can lead to further losses.
Try to control your emotions and things will be fine gradually.

that doesn't mean grid trading necessarily. It's just 2 open trades on the same pair simultaneously. If I saw 5-6 trades opened at the one time maybe, but not 2 trades...

Thanks for your observations.

Based on back and forward test results - ON CERTAIN PAIRS, like on AUDNZD - the EA performs better by dividing the STANDARD position sizes into TWO PORTIONS.

As you have failed to notice on your posted screenshot the AUDCAD trade size is 0.87 lot. This 0.87 lot size would be the STANDARD trade size of the AUDNZD trade, too.

But - based on the above principle - instead of trading it as a WHOLE 0.87 lot on AUDNZD, I have DIVIDED IT INTO TWO SEPARATE 0.43-0.44 lot orders. In summary: the total exposure on both pairs is EXACTLY THE SAME. So there is no 'desperation', but SMART POSITION SIZING.

Capice...?

I am against GRIDS and MARTINGALES and I have been pinpointing such deficiencies in other strategies for years. Why would I do the same exact thing and displaying it publicly...?

@daily5percent AGAIN:

Please ASK FIRST before showing off how ignorant you are in reading and understanding Trade History correctly.

P.S. Nevertheless, you would be right about 'GRID' if I used the same lot sizes on AUDNZD as on AUDCAD.

This is the account of an investor who had DOUBLED his RISK SETTING just before the Holiday Season drawdown. His timing was really unfortunate and so this account does not reflect the true nature of the EA. But I have not deleted it as ''it is life'', showing ''Murphy's Law'' in action when RISK SETTING is increased too fast.

My personal CONSISTENTLY 1x risk REFERENCE ACCOUNT is the real reflection of what the EA does. This REFERENCE ACCOUNT was profitable in December at +8% and it is already in profit for January at +4.75%:

Also, my ICM account with the same EA has closed August, September and November in profit when I moved my funds over to VARIANSE due to excessive slippages and spread increases noticed at ICM, probably due to their virtual dealer plugins interfering with the EA. Being B-booked by ICM (i.e. they take the other side of my trades in-house) their desperate 'virtual dealer plugin' revenge is understandable, even though not acceptable.

@profixtr AGAIN: I am puzzled by your malicious statement... Apparently you are a newbie who registered just a few days ago on MyFxBook, and it was a pretty bold action from a newbie to attack the most Vouched member of the MyFxBook community with such a blatant statement... So for that reason: ''You are fired!''

@FxMasterGuru

Come on guru. you can call it what ever you want but it is GRID... GRID... GRID.

You gotta admit it. You don't know how to trade. You are losing your clients money and giving some bullshit type explanation???
