@gatoreyefx I think EA's are to slow for that kind of market. Thank heavens I went in there with decent code and speed or my results would look very different.

And here's at least 2 of us who did trade through this and did ok, so it is possible.

Probably just luck @xgavinc .I don't get too many BREXIT's to try my luck on. Sadly. So very hard to build a statistical picture on how I really do on these events. Few more events like this a year be nice, but I guess that would be too easy...Point is though, that I'm trying to make to the rest of the posters here, that if one can trade through an event like this and come out smelling like roses, then NFP and the rest of them just doesn't matter. All you need is well thought out and well designed system. If you can't even handle NFP then there's something wrong with y...

@dkilmer There's actually only 1 way to skin a cat. With a knife. Nothing else works. Some farms in my family, I have a rough idea how skinning works.

So there is at least 1 result. http://www.myfxbook.com/files/theHand/Screen_Shot_20160624_at_1.07.06_PM.png61% for the week so far. Most of it from today. You have to be in to make money.The risk of this is to high for normal trading. But on O one can chuck $100 on it, see what happens over time.

This is a coin toss. You have no idea when you go into it if it will work for your or not. Over time it's a 50/50 thing. Let it run when it goes for you, cut it short when it doesn't.

Let me put it like this, better to be out is to be there with a system that was designed from scratch knowing these kind events are part of the task. Correct trades sizes, functions handling the various problems this can cause, like spikes and wide spread events. Kick outs on major NAV events etc. Just proper global risk control.

It makes a very big difference. I know from my stats when I use to track them most of the moves are on Wednesdays and Thursdays. Miss it and you miss your week. Most of the time nothing happens. FX wasn't like this years ago, you bugger off 1000 pips this way just to go 1000 pips that way 2 days later. It rarely happens now. So ja, the days it moves are important, you have to be there when it moves.

The results will be mixed as always. Some will win, some will takes losses. This is not a 1 day game, as long as I come out with my shirt on my back on the other side I'm happy. On average I should do well. How well remains to be seen. If you can trade through this and come out smelling like roses you can trade through anything. This will be the biggest event for a while, very good test for my methods.

Then you guys have poorly designed systems. I'm going into BREXIT with 18 systems running. A well designed system doesn't feel much for these events. And of course I wouldn't attempt it on MT, just to slow. I don't know how much I'm going to make tonight, but it's going to be a lot. You only get 1 or 2 of these a year. Really looking forward to it. Not that I'll be watching, Asia Pacific region, so I'll peer at the results over a steaming cup of java tomorrow morning.It's really a question of if it's going to be a bunch of whips, or if we're going to...

Made $200 k profit but still nervous and not trust in my self . 経験豊富なトレーダーの中 Apr 15, 2016 at 21:28

@Tombuontien People do make a living out of fx. A few even get rich. I think the best way to handle it, is to consider going full-time once you can draw 12 months or more worth of expenses. Cash in hand in the bank. And keep it topped up as you go. That way if you hit a brick wall you have a year to make a plan. And then you can relax as well, since you're not under pressure to produce. As for guilty, well it might be JP Morgan's money you're taking, or a HFT outfit or even a sovereign fund. Iow's people who don't really deserver to have any money since they're just th...

@mlawson71 One man's freedom fighter is another man's terrorist. Governments launder money at an industrial level and fund freedom fighters all the time. Just look at where ISIS came from. Through CIA, FBI, NSA or whatever security apparatus they have going. I don't even think any modern war has been started by a real event. Bay of Tonkin comes to mind, 9/11 etc.The only scandal here is our willingness to let them. And I think it's important to keep spreading this message. I think the people using these services need medals. And I think we should all use it. If all of us banked...

@shienri I'm the wrong guy to ask about max risk per trade. It's just internet bullshit as far as I'm concerned. I don't trade, I use trades to manage positions. Very different concept.But obviously at $10 a trade you're going to be measuring your profits in cents. The concept I'm trying to get across is that it's not how much you can afford to lose that should determine account size, but rather the technical aspects of the trading account, like minimum trade sizes. That determines how much you should put down minimum. By the way, 100 pips SL on EurUsd and 100 pip S...

And I forgot to mention, all price data comes in to your machine as ticks. So any of the MT functions you call reads local data. There is no delay in getting info. So it's not as if you're sitting in functions waiting for data to come in.So ja, reading empty functions simply doesn't matter.

Fucntions() vs execution speed プログラミングの中 Apr 10, 2016 at 12:25

No, the problem is the internet between you and your trades and MT's server, not how fast your computer can do things. Let's take a big closeout for example, 100 trades. You have to select each trade, close it, wait for the response, then go to the next one, close it, wait for the response and so on. You can do maybe 2 a second. The 1/1000th you use to read a defunct function doesn't even begin to feature.MT 5 supposedly has an asynchronous mode and only tracks single positions, which in theory solve the time issues, but certainly not to the extent where you need inline functions. ...

@BIGBEARBROTHER That's spectacularly bad advice mate. No wonder you lost $5k a month. @shienri Your position size should be determined by your account size, leverage I pretty much ignore since my trade sizes are such that they are a reasonable percentage of my un-leveraged account size. The problem with MT is the minimum trade size is to big for most accounts. At 0.01 lots on 100 000 unit lot size your minimum trade value on EuruUsd would be about $1 120 or so at current rates. If you have a $10k account that's over 10% of your account value. So obviously that's not sustainable. Fe...

The delay any function calling will have compared to how slow MT is, is meaningless. Speed is not one of MT's attributes.
