Forex Contest FXCM dans Concours Nov 26, 2014 at 00:21

Mr Jason Rogers, Thank you for your answers. However, do you know that myfxbook's track records can be completely hacked and modified? It's very simple, modifying the ftp file of MT4 which is linked to the myfxbook server updated every now and then. In other words, I can put 50000 lots on 1 trade if I wish, this will be displayed on the myfxbook, as well as the result and myfxbook will replicate this impact on the charts and numbers. But Mr Jason, do you allow 50000 lots at once on a trade? I believe the limit is 50 or 100 in general for any forex broker on 1 trade at a time. I know th...

PAMM accounts for non licensed money managers ?? dans Traders Expérimentés May 29, 2013 at 16:24

But wait, the broker might have a licence, but the money manager does not always. In that case who trades? well it's the unlicensed money manager = you accept funds and trade investors funds. So.. i know some countries like france where this is completely illegal. Now once again my question is still left unanswered.. I'm not sure it's 100% legal if not properly done. Thanks

PAMM accounts for non licensed money managers ?? dans Traders Expérimentés May 02, 2013 at 19:54

Hey guys, So, I was looking into opening a PAMM account soon however I noticed that PAMM accounts in brokers such as Alpari can be opened by basically any trader ! The problem is : if you are not a licensed money manager by your country's regulator, managing other people's money even through your broker is normally illegal ! In my case, i'm in france and my broker FXCM told me all people doing that are totally being illegal since you should be registered as a money manager, cta or whatever.. So my question is simple : 99% of people on myfxbook are illegal? How come Alpari and some ...

Calculating the systemic risk of a EA before demo/live launch dans Programmation Apr 30, 2013 at 20:52

I see.Well, when manually trading a specific strategy you do trade on several pairs up to about 20 pairs max right? So i don't see why a succcessful strategy could not be traded with the EA on multiple currencies... :)

Calculating the systemic risk of a EA before demo/live launch dans Programmation Apr 24, 2013 at 15:18

You said import into myfxbook ? Is that the strategy tester or how can myfxbook help me i'm not aware of this function..Also, adding drawdown with drawdown and profits with profits is not correct. SO your method can not be used if wanting to have a profesionnal backtest. Let's say you have 2 currencies in drawdown at the same time, you cannot just simply add the profits that wil result afterwards because those results are based on single currency drawdown and not taking in consideration the other currency's drawdown which means your money management should have changed but here in ...

EXCEL file or system to calculate drawdown of EA on multiple currencies ? dans Programmation Apr 23, 2013 at 12:06

I'm looking for a way to cumulate drawdown of backtesting at X time with profits at X time in order to evaluate the systemic risk of the EA once ran over several currencies. MT4 only allows backtesting on 1 at a time which is not helping to know how the EA should react once trading on several currencies.If anyone has a excel file, a program anything, please share and let me know ! thanks

What is acceptable level for annual drawdown compared to performance ratio? dans Général Apr 22, 2013 at 00:05

Hi everyone,I'm currently working on EA's and i'm studying the drawdown compared to the performance annually. My question is simple : what is the industry acceptable level for drawdown compared to the performance in terms of ratio?I heard from a pro once, annual profit % has to be at least twice more than the annual drawdown. If you have any details concerning profit factor too and average win to average loss ratio , anything is welcomed. Thanks!

Creating a built in system of multiple EA Strategies dans Programmation Apr 14, 2013 at 13:56

Hello everyone,As I am currently working on automated trading strategies i'm working on regrouping about 2-3 strategies in one single EA. To be precise : I have 3 strategies with each a 1% money management. I want to build one big system that regroups each of these 3 strategies BUT will only trade with a 1% money management (althougth it has 3 strategies trading).So, the way i see it would be : cutting a 33.33% of that 1% to each EA right ? Is that possible to do and is that a good idea? However, I have also thought that the most profitable strategy should have a bigger money management al...

Calculating the systemic risk of a EA before demo/live launch dans Programmation Apr 14, 2013 at 13:49

Hi everyone,So, i am currently working on multiple automated strategies and will launch some of them in the near future. My problem is : How can you assess the systemic risk of 1 EA performing over multiple currencies when in your backtests you can only see what would have happened on 1 currency? Let's say my EA trades on 10 currencies. How can i know that the total drawdown at X time will not be superior than my total profit at X time? If in the backtests it's saying for ex: 20% drawdown and 100% profit. If you apply the consecutive loosing trades multiplied by the number of currencie...

Metatrader memory usage problem when backtesting dans Programmation Mar 29, 2013 at 10:44

Hi everyone,I backtested some EA's for the past 2 days and now MT4 ate more than 10 giga of my free disk space. I'm left with no free disk space. So how do you manage to produce good quality backtests with this issue and how do you delete the data stored after the backtest is finished?Thanks

How to increase the profit factor ? dans Programmation Mar 24, 2013 at 16:26

Now I would like to know a few things : -What exactly the profit factor measures ? -What can we do to increase this ratio ?-What profit factor ratio determines a "profitable and stable" EA ? I heard anything above 2 is good.Thanks !

General question about EA dans Général Nov 11, 2012 at 13:50

simple Ironman, 90% of EA's don't work in live. If you look at the details of their trades, they are mainly scalpers and a couple pips aren't enough sometimes to even pay the spread ! so ridiculous. When their not scalpers (because if they are they are of no value to me) then once again, they might work for a month, maybe 2 because market conditions are great and designed for the EA to work BUT after that what happens? EA might crash or strategy might not be as profitable as we thought it could ! SO bottom line is : EA's work for certain market conditions, some work very well b...
