Well, the market never repeats itself, but it sure rhymes...Earlier USDCAD SL was a big long trade in the making, and maybe there were enough events that happend to pull the pair in a different direction, so blame the market. Well, we're in very similar circumstances with the same EA logic on a different pair...so blame us. SL in teh future or not, we're not happen this slipped thru the design cracks.In anycase, there seems to be a missing detection method for such setups and when checking other pairs with the same EA logic, we see some SLs in the backtests before any news filters are ...

Yes, it is a demo account, and that was a glitch from ICM that caused it. One of the trades in the set was reset as the end of day rolled over to the following day.

Our coder was a motivated animal last night and got the time issues sorted out so we'll be up and trading on a 'trick-or-treat' day. Gotta remember, this is still a v1.x product in the making and we want to feel this system can make the right decisions. Anyway, at this point, we're taking the next step to move the concept forward.Speaking of time, the pool of EAs will start trading around 6-9 GMT depending on the day of the week, and the personality of the pair. Most EAs will go back to sleep if no trades are open on them between 20-21 GMT and on Friday the EA will not take any...

Second stoploss on record is an intentional early termination. FOMC was not kind, and the broker SL was not far way. Based on the analysis of the structure around the SL, we decided to take an early termination instead of allowing it to hit full SL. We had the opportunity to do so on the previous stoploss, but chose to allow it so people could see a worst case scenario. Further, we have also found a problem with the time settings in the news system, so there are updates that must be made to the code. So, the system will be offline for a bit. Hopefully we can get it back on by next week.So, wit...

And we finally had our first stoploss. Not entirely unexpected as one was bound to happen eventually. The slippage was pretty nasty on the close though. Got hit for an extra 0.5% loss, but that is just part of it. If a system can't handle the abuse, then it won't survive anyway. So what is the damage.....well, now we are only on track for about a +20% month. Call me crazy if you want, but I just can't seem to bring myself to complain about that.The main thing is, now we have a stoploss on record, and now everyone can see what it would be like in a normal trading situation if/or whe...

The two services we have been reviewing most recently are simpletrader.net and 4xsolutions.com. There are several others we have looked at, and so far, these two have been the best. Unless something changes, we intend to charge $100/month for the Genesis System trade copy service.

We're testing SimpleTrader now with a live account on the back end as one option.The fee would be encompasing of all costs to keep it simple. What we decide on...we'll see how things go.

The recent GBPJPY trade info was a bit skewed due to the fact that there was some issue on the demo at roll-over and open price on one of the trades was somehow adjusted.While we believe there was no issue to the trade, we decided to close it manually when the live real money slave was in profit just to be safe.When we add the new live account, it will become the master and we will keep the demo running until mid 2014. The live account will probably be with a different broker than ICM as we want to ensure good spreads and performance when using signal copy services.This Genesis System will not...

If we don't find and other bugs or lessons learned that can improve the logic and strategy we use to trade, then January (mid-late) looks to be a good launching point

Genesis System in Trading Systems Oct 24, 2013 at 13:37

All strategies are completed and uploaded.Current signal copy functions are working smoothly. Experiencing some positive slippage which is good since that will balance out over time as users use this service.

The US political dance on the debt is done (until next year) and we're back 100% normal on the trades and trade modes (STD now) starting Monday. Let hope we finish the month strong!Going thru the short list of candidates for a signal provider option right now as we have the demo account sending signals to a live account starting Monday. No, the live account is not public yet, we will be getting a clean account to start in November.On a side note, it appears from the US Govt. ShutDown that NFP Friday is next week Tuesday. Given the hand-cuffs Congress has given the Fed with more drama in th...

EURGBP closed at BE (pip wise for the set) so I guess we're all good in the end. With the account flat, I'm going to let the drama that will be happening for certain in the 11th hour of the US Congress go by then restart the demo and put everything back into STD mode.

Genesis System in Trading Systems Oct 16, 2013 at 07:49

Well we've just noticed in our cut-and-paste of common things across the EAs we have put the wrong settings for the EURGBP. That is why it is a demo. Who know what will happen, but if it hits SL, at least we can see if the SL part of the code is doing its job.

Uploaded the USDCAD and AUDUSD strategies for all to see.Ok, well, based on our news ranking system looks like we start trading tomorrow. Why you ask, because, there are limits to everything. We've developed a manual, yet standardized method of rating that is unique to these EAs. Also, the ranking system is a bit different than the news system we use in the EAs.Normally with no obvious stress in the financial markets, we run the EAs in STD mode. When we are in a crisis mode where there is a bit more doubt than normal, we may, as in the case this week, shift things down into CON mode. This ...

Added the GBPUSD strategies. Looks like we might be trading next week too if DC subsides.

Genesis System in Trading Systems Oct 09, 2013 at 07:08

Well, the account is flat again. Kinda glad since they were 4 sells on the AUDUSD and boy the swaps can add up...but, that is what we want to see too.Anyway, couple other points we want to make.1) There are 4 strategies that we made public and will be 100% used going forward on the live demo. The name of the strategy has a meaning: version-strategy-pair-trademode. Strategies are CONTinuation and REVersal setups that it is looking for. In the trade comments, we show the CONT or REV trades, and we think we got them all standardized now. I have about 28 more to do final testing and I will post t...

Genesis System in Trading Systems Oct 09, 2013 at 07:04

Yeah, that viewing pleasure will probably never change when it comes to open trades. We will be putting out the strategies that go back to April 2007 with 99% tick data as we finalize things to give everyone a ranging idea.

Genesis System in Trading Systems Oct 08, 2013 at 15:12

Well, looks like the bugs are out of the system and the collective of EAs are trading back to historical backtests.So what is this thing? It is a combination of 16 EAs running in an account that have specific pairs and structure logic coded in. By now, you can look at the history and see all pairs that trade.Is this a grid? No. Each EA 'can' open up as many as 18 trades each, three sets of buys and three sets of sells, but that has not occured, even in the back test history. Sometimes you might see the same pair many times, but doesn't mean it is from the same EA. One thing that we...

OK, all the updates that we needed to do are in place. Not sure if there will be any fireworks this week, but I'm sure there will be a lot of sideways action until the US gets pass Raising the Debt issue. But this is a demo so we do want to see the 'ninja' effect if we get it on the trades, if they are open.😎

We are looking at starting the live reference ($5K) account in mid-Nov and the demo will continue.We are investigating the signal / copier options first vs. the PAMM (MAM) options. We want to show a 1yr+ reference before thinking about what we do with the PAMM option, as we want it to be different than a signal / copier service.In a fast moving market, or low liquidity time, slippage will happen. Given that we try to keep all trades or basket of trades above the 10 pip mark, we are not too sensitive to the delay vs. a scalper or fast break-out system.So if all goes as plan, maybe as soon as Ja...
