What just happend??? dans Général Jan 16, 2015 at 12:11

Liquidity got pulled from the markets so there was nothing to close your position against. That's why you didn't get a margin call. Best regards Steve

This is going to take many brokers out of the game and the effects will probably cause some changes in the way the market operates. Best regards Steve

Keltner has a slip parameter, whether it's using or not is a different matter. Certainly it should introduce a spread check. That would have helped yesterday and I think should really be a standard feature in all EA's to prevent trades opening in situations like this.With regards to Wildprofit. It depends on your broker whether they chase the loss or not. Some have T&C's that state the don't chase deficit accounts. I suggest you check yours. Even if it doesn't the chances of them successfully chasing you for it depends on your and there jurisdiction I guess.Best reg...

You can be certain that any adjustments will be in the brokers favour.There was no warning, SNB said it needed to be a surprise. Stop losses were not honoured because for a while there was no liquidity. The market makers pulled out.There are some traders saying they called it, but law of averages would dictate that some people would be right in their guestimates.Best regards Steve

Yep. Most stressful trading day ever.Best regards Steve

People often don't agree with each other. As long as disagreement is done in a civil manner I don't mind. I am sometimes abrupt and present things as facts when they aren't so I can understand I rub people up the wrong way. My wife has been trying to knock it out of me for years. :)I think the way that the liquidity providers work is that they prioritise liquidity to the brokers who provide them with the largest client base. So therefore the larger brokers will get the liquidity first during such events. In this case though for a while there was no liquidity, nobody had a clue what...

It's down to individual broker feeds, some of them locked out entirely during the morning which affected the ability to open and close trades. I'm pretty sure that individual brokers would have also been showing completely different prices which would have triggered trades for some and not for others.This morning was literally a game of roulette.Best regards Steve

Sorry to hear that, I think today was more a game of pot luck than anything else. I for one have two other completely wiped accounts with other strategies. If it's done anything it's cemented my opinion that a portfolio of different brokers/strategies are the way to operate.Best regards Steve

KeltnerPRO - Jared dans Systèmes de Trading Jan 15, 2015 at 12:40

You can't really blaim Keltner for a black swan event. I've spoken to several of my brokers in a frantic last few hours and they all said liquidity providers pulled the feeds. I still have positions opened with FXDD that they won't shut on Chf pairs.The account blew simply because it was impossible for the trades to close. I myself have two blown accounts, but also some account s with good profits.Best regards Steve

Caesar 400% EURUSD dans Systèmes de Trading Jan 15, 2015 at 11:39

My caesar account did, still trying to figure out the fallout on my other accounts/strategies. Going to be busy for a few days I think.

Haha, how the hell did Caesar survive that! Nice work. Brokers are going to be unwinding Chf related orders for weeks.Best regards Steve

The owner of the robot doesn't disconnect the EA during December and January as evidenced by the account - why would he suggest others do?As Vladrac stated there are varying opinions on the matter. I backtested the EA and the only periods that I avoided are the week before and the week after, i.e. the two week period that a lot of people are on holidays for. Backtest data supports this decision. I also mentioned that if you look at previous histories both volume and ATR indicators do not support the commonly held belief that you should not trade in December and January. Maybe the Ea author...

I'm commenting on two EA's at the moment. Keltner which I own. Rev trader pro, which I'm following as I was considering buying it and so was doing due diligence. You know what, I retired once from analysing commercial EA's and providing my input on them. I think I'm going to do it again. Signing out. Good luck!Best regards Steve

Facts can hardly be described as negative shit, except by people who are trying to conveniently ignore them because they conflict with their desired view of the situation. Look, at the end of the day, I'm just shining a light on what might be some crap that people are possibly going to stand in. If you want me to go away, I'm happy to do so.Best regards Steve

REV Trader PRO REAL dans Systèmes de Trading Jan 08, 2015 at 14:15

Here's my view on things. Just to sum up.Rev trader pro does work but is not as profitable as this account shows due to manual manipulation of the trade history at a server level, which was done to over-egg the cake for marketing purposes.With regards to brokers, that's a separate thread in it's own right and a large discussion. The only thing I would recommend both from a trading perspective and a broker perspective is diversify. Best regards Steve

REV Trader PRO REAL dans Systèmes de Trading Jan 08, 2015 at 12:59

I'm not sure. I'm not claiming the EA doesn't work, over a period it seems to work. However people are purchasing based on an understanding of a performance level which I'm not convinced is there due to spurious trades in the history.Here's a link to the NZDUSD price feed using Synergy FX MT4 for 11/12 December 2013, with the trade entries plotted for the three NZDUSD trades. Trades which appear both on MyFxBook and on the account statement.http://c2n.me/3a4Ii57.pngNow while I'm not 100% sure about the timing of the trades due to possible daylight saving that may affect...

REV Trader PRO REAL dans Systèmes de Trading Jan 08, 2015 at 12:16

No it isn't an independently run account. It's just a link to Doug's statement. Which again has the contested trades that are allegedly due to a MyFxBook issue. I'm not claiming the EA does not work. It clearly does, as so many people state. However the veracity of it's actual performance has to be doubted due to apparent spurious transactions in the historic statement. i.e. It's not as profitable as you think it is.On top of this, if the transactions are spurious then the legitimacy of Synergy as a broker has to be doubted as I've had it confirmed from Ethan that t...

REV Trader PRO REAL dans Systèmes de Trading Jan 07, 2015 at 16:46

Good stuff, thanks for putting the statement back. It does of course raise the question of why the MyFxBook trades that are due to an upload problem are the same as the trades on the MT4 statement.Best regards Steve

REV Trader PRO REAL dans Systèmes de Trading Jan 07, 2015 at 12:29

I'm not saying it's a fraud, nor am I a doubter. All I'm saying is that the JL trader post raises some interesting queries. My own due diligence confirms that there are some issues with the historic trades, these should be considered and the reason for them addressed. If Doug was to disconnect and reconnect the account then the issues that occurred with MyFxBook should hopefully disappear.However here's another thing to consider. JL trader flagged that the trades were the same on the statement published on Doug's site, which would rule out a MyFxBook issue.http://i2.wp.com/...

REV Trader PRO REAL dans Systèmes de Trading Jan 07, 2015 at 10:03

Easily solved if the problem was a MyFxBook issue. Delete the account and reconnect it. That should solve the problem and shut up the doubters.Best regards Steve
