Some claim this is Combo ripoff, but Boris says its actually ripoff from his company. How can one know who is copying from whom.seems he had this tfot availed before Combo, they been around long time. In discussing fakeability with myfxbook, if there is two green checkmarks atop it is un-fakeable. Myfxbook gets info directly from broker, and even the acct amount, you can talk with them yourself, I was given satisfactory evidence to this fact by myfxbook.Also I've seen the balance curves of the AlpariUS follow my ibfx & Finfx-micro, even as trades have happened.

Why is this not doing forward test?

Expert Advisor TFOT in Trading Systems Feb 18, 2012 at 21:35

Scottshay, Boris did find an ecn with lowest initial deposit of one Thou, its fxopen. He recommends to most closely be like his AlpariUS Pro which requires $10K deposit. I'd be interested if you start a site or forum with your kind of deeper looking & insight.

Scottshay, I have 8mo 5min backdata test using live$ MT4 terminal data, it's been following both my TFOT on ibfx and Finfx-micro and also iticsoftware's myfxbook charts. While they don't track 100% trade-by-trade, the balance curves seem to track. If you want the report email me, batchj at earthlink (dot) net. I too feel the backtest must mostly follow live$ forward, so far this seems to be the case, but I worry some now as I don't know if Euro or USD is getting too enturbulated for this EA, i.e., "its better days over?" I been watching in this manner for a few wee...

Boris, well......it was recovering, now not so. I fear TFOT's better days might have passed due to the ongoing crisis with Euro & USD, would it be possible to find pair of countries that have stable economies and "mold" TFOT to quite a few years of backdata on that? Finfx yields 6-1/2yrs of 1min data for most pairs (as one example of data available). Those interested in this say "yay".

Expert Advisor TFOT in Trading Systems Feb 16, 2012 at 15:03

Let me guess, you also bought it around holidays like I did. As Boris pointed out to me, there was also drawdown around June '11 as you'll notice on balance chart for TFOT's myfxbook. Aren't you also getting a slight beginning of a recovery?

Expert Advisor TFOT in Trading Systems Feb 16, 2012 at 00:59

demo acct are useless, they are smoothed over & different than live quotes. If you read my recent posts you'd see I threw in towel on expecting trade-by-trade replication of trades, that is live to test replication hopes. TFOT does its thing on NFA or not NFA, only way I found is to compare % equity changes live with iticsoftware's AlpariUS acct, and I see it generally follows in performance, which has been of good relief from frustrating over. It's kind of a slight magical let-it-be approach to following performance, was hard to let go of my engineering-like microscope to its...

Forex Combo in Trading Systems Feb 15, 2012 at 02:16

Hi Mellyforex, some say TFOT was a copy of Combo using only 2 of the strategies, others and author at iticsoftware say they are the originator copied from, but whatever the case, go to members/iticsiftware and checkout the over one year +300%/yr performance, hands down better than Combo (I'm not a rep, just a buyer). Its more costly, but looks worth it. Fxopen has a $1000 min deposit ecn, good place to have TFOT run, albeit for now I came in less and am at ibfx & Finfx-micro for the time-being. I bought TFOT just before Xmas, so its in a bit of a dd, but its now recovering like itics...

Expert Advisor TFOT in Trading Systems Feb 11, 2012 at 14:50

Demo accts are useless for tester or live as it is a broker smoothed-over version of live quotes. I used a live acct at ibfx and over 6 month period prior to December tfot did fine in test, doubled the acct @ 5% risk and dd not bad. Now I'm running live$ on Finfx micro and ibfx and since prior to Xmas these have generally followed tfot of iticsoftwares on AlpariUS, not by trade-by-trade but by general equity win/lose path curves. Currently it seems like it is returning to recovery, hopefully the market doesn't have too much more of these instability periods, but even if it does, I feel...

Expert Advisor TFOT in Trading Systems Jan 31, 2012 at 18:52

Meant by "similar" that since my having & running on holidays to now it is doing similar period of major losses.

Expert Advisor TFOT in Trading Systems Jan 31, 2012 at 18:50

My TFOT with smaller Finfx-micro acct is doing similar to this TFOT on AlpariUS larger acct. So I can't give comparative eval of how it fairs compared to larger Pro acct.Anyone here running TFOT on an fxopen $1000 Pro acct? Or just a smaller acct somewhere? Would appreciate your feedback and/or hooking-up to myfxbook. Thx, Truly, Jerry B.

Forex Robot TFOT - eurusd, usdcad in Trading Systems Jan 25, 2012 at 16:32

When I was running both around holidays it looked like some strange behavior going on, so I opted for just eurusd. I felt back then it may be some odd interaction of both chart EA's using one .dll. not sure if such feeling is conclusively true, but now seeing this 17% dive with Boris' setup, hmm. Of course, there has been 23% ddd for eurusd by itself so who knows 'til this is run for awhile. My TFOT is on eurusd only, and due to volatility and holidays its only "keeping its head barely above water". Like I say on eurusd-only-TFOT discussion, fxopen's-$1000-ecn sugges...

Expert Advisor TFOT in Trading Systems Jan 25, 2012 at 16:13

5% seems like nothing for drawdown, take a look at dd for eurusd by itself, 23%! Its supposedly meant for how it fairs on the long-run.

Expert Advisor TFOT in Trading Systems Jan 23, 2012 at 15:16

Does anyone here run TFOT on a smaller acct? Mine is $670 on Finfx-micro.It may be that TFOT is good for only Pro big accts like AlpariUS-Pro as opposed to whats told that it be good on any acct. I've run mine for a month on Finfx and haven't gotten anywhere yet, albeit there was holidays covering half the time. Boris does admit there is quote + spread differences, guess meaning it most likely won't do as well. He says he will think about putting a Thou w/ TFOT at fxopen-ecn, he found this broker as lowest deposit ecn, .....says they may do. Perhaps more of you can either encourage...

Expert Advisor TFOT in Trading Systems Jan 22, 2012 at 04:18

I will run TFOT on eurusd for free on your $1000 real fxopen.com account for certain number of months. Yes, I bought TFOT on holiday special. This is approved to do and promote by Boris. I would set-up MT4 with your trading password, this would not allow me access to your account, it only allows MT4 to trade on it. We could start your trading at smallest level to play it safe if you like, believe .01 lots instead of "usual" 5%. Reason I'm offering is to see how well best lowest-deposit-ecn-broker does with TFOT. It's not been long period of time my Finfx-micro or ibfx has be...

Thx Boris for your hard work.

Expert Advisor TFOT in Trading Systems Dec 08, 2011 at 00:28

Jolly good. Doesn't this combo pair report look smoother than eurusd alone? Thats why it be good to see if Borys can add usdcad "to the mix" as you suggest.

Expert Advisor TFOT in Trading Systems Dec 07, 2011 at 23:31

Just found it too, Boris uses the muitli reporter software to combine the two separate tests, link to that software is atop that report url: http://iticsoftware.com/experts/report/TFOT-eurusd_usdcad_1999.htm the increase of profit isn't the point, as when running both the lots on each would be smaller, the main thing is smoother ride....see relative dd, just a little over 2%.

Expert Advisor TFOT in Trading Systems Dec 07, 2011 at 22:58

I "second the motion", because iticsoftware site shows the two pairs back-tested ok, and as diversified combo live it could very well be even smoother less jagged equity curve.......albeit .........eurusd all by itself isn't anything to complain about.

Expert Advisor TFOT in Trading Systems Nov 29, 2011 at 01:21

I talked with myfxbook thoroughly and find if both green checkmarks atop a myfxbook acct then it's impossible to fake, broker acct, deposit $ balance, trades, authority to trade, its all confirmed. Boris was most amenable to fixing one red checkmark that showed for a moment, it was just investor password difficulties. So happy its "back on track" re: evidence, as it be a bad waiste if such good EA didn't have it.With the positive news on this discussion board and 100% proof of results on myfxbook, I 've decided to try to save last few hundred I need to purchase when its ...
