FRWC - Fusion V - Alpari in Trading Systems Mar 19, 2010 at 01:58

Update on issue with HiRider Advanced -Under closer examination it looks like it's cosmetic, they have removed 1 of the strategy's in the control's which leave's 4 strategies listed under properties (5 previously under HiRider), however the on chart text still indicates 5 strategies with strat 1 disabled - probably just on omission on code removal during cleanup as they carved that Strategy out, but still not helpful, will confirm when I get official response from support but that's what it's looking like.Jon maybe since you de-compile all the EA's you can get your...

Thanks wilson1My latest Fusion report is attached.I also have HiRider Advanced loaded (released today), will report on findings but quality control is still lacking. Manual says Strat 1 is now best with lowest DD of 13% but yet it is disabled with no way to enable in properties, tried messing with lot size / max lot's to see if there was some trigger to enable but it looks like poor code review or undocumented disablement of Strat 1- neither are acceptable in my mind. Support ticket logged, I'm sure there will be another release soon as this clearly needs resolved if it has half a chan...

Question specifically to Jon (but if anyone else has additional relevant data I'd be interested in their observations as well)What are you seeing as the latest results in your tests of Fusion V 1.21?Additional question - anyone loaded HiRider Advanced yet ? any comments ?K

JonOk - I'm going to be a prick here - please forgive me.Mail me some examples (and the "s" on the end of examples means at least more than one, I'm thinking a just a dozen examples of known unique ea's would be enough to make me eat humble pie) - I say your full of shit on your no original lines of code comment and I'm wondering if your "friends" are imaginary and all that code you've looked at is more bullshit. I have a lot of unanswered questions out too you here that you seem to have cunningly avoided by your retorts. Start walking your walk my frien...

JonGood to know on Dukascopy.Not saying only idiots buy EA's, more so that contrary to your statement of me being dumb & foolish, like you I had my reasons for getting involved beyond the hype, I was also interested in yours - although it may have sounded condescending, I do think your a smart individual (although somewhat frustrated with FRWC :-).As for pretending to be a nice person, I don't pretend, it comes naturally for the most part, most of the time, however, I can be a prick when I feel like it, I can also be ignorant in the true sense of the word (lacking in knowledge) - I...

WillNot sure if you resolved your issue - I have not seen this and I logon most days.Couple things to try if you are still having issues if Jonfxbot / Kerline comments didn't resolve - Firstly to further expand on Jon's point of the original password issued, type your password in the user field to make sure it is actually keying what you believe you are keying, a stuck capslock or numlock key can screw up password entry and you can't tell cause they are normally starred out :-) If it's not correct, fix what's causing the problem.If it is correct, then try another browser, c...

KerlineWhy was the refund with Plimus listed as $599 and not $999 per purchase price ?I already know I'm dumb & foolish, so I just had to ask - right Jon ;-)K

Steve - On Refunds, how did they come up with 30th of March, did they explain ? It looks like 5 trading days per week plus 1 day.Looking at your original post on the guarantee text which is the original language from the sign up webpage, which I believe FRWC have now removed (I do have a copy of the wording and graphics used on entire original page if any needs it), it states full refund is available up to 60 days from purchase.By my calculation 60 days from Feb 14th is April 16th using full calendar not business week which is likely what they will use to close out period, which means those wh...

JonThanks for the mild trashing today ;-)Lots of good stuff in there for me to ponder - I will definitely consider setting up FAP.It also smelled fishy too me in my initial analysis (more so than fusion :-) ) so I avoided favoring fusion for various reasons, but I take your point and certainly worth the time investigating, again, multiple baskets are good.Not the first time I've been called foolish, however, I have you force me to ask my myself if I think back to Feb 15th, who is the fool, the person that spends $1000 expecting 300+% returns or the one who sits on the sideline's and wa...

for those with interest - Here is an update on the combo results I posted previouslyThe files with "closing" in the name have the Trade Manager attached, hedge is activated at 300 pips with 50% lot size close on BE.It is smoothing the line out and decreasing profit slightly but the active trade drawn down can be significant if you add up all the individual active trade draw downs at any one time - sometimes as much as 30% which is unattractive to me.Seeing a notable number of false triggers (approx dozen) on the hedge i.e. 21626641 was SV, the trade 21642560 was the hedge against thi...

IrbisI agree on first point as things stand.Not so sure on second point with the word 'random' though, for sure it's performance is abysmal compared to marketing, and significantly under at least my expectation, although bug fixes and config changes appear to be improving that on FWRC second attempt (there were 2 at least an additional releases of Fusion after the original release). Flawed feels a more accurate word :-)That said, my cups still half full - I view it as a work in progress, if it takes six months to eliminate the bugs or optimize the code to avoid the big losses, I&#...

Wilson 1Similar experience with new version & settings - I did not converse with them but keep an eye on the download / lab section - their notice of updates suck, but I know this now and regularly download EA's, check filesize and apply to MT4 even if filesize is same as they are working and updating some of these even though they are not forward about notification of updates changes etc. (LMD is now 1.09 last time I checked)Attached are my latest results for Fusion V 1.21 (without Trade Manager) as FYI this was set up Sun Night / Monday EST.I think the settings on this one are slight...

Fill or KillThanks for the advise - I appreciate it, I do have other money in similar Money Managed scheme with "Professional", don't want all my eggs in one basket so EA's seemed like a possible avenue and it's stimulating given my background :-). I will take a look though, never hurts to have multiple baskets :-)EA's are not my primary money making strategy, but I'm willing to take methodical approach to higher risk opportunities (EA's are IMO) with smaller amount of investment capital.On the stop loss exit - I was thinking more along the lines of the Hedge ...

IrbisDue to poor documentation by FRWC it is not apparent how to turn HiRider strat 1 off, LotRiskReducer, may influence this strategy's in play, but it's impossible to tell without the EA's source. I suspect it doesn't and just manipulates it's entry decision and exit point on all of the HiRider Strategy'sCouple of options to think about - A - Run fusion, turn off EA's 1,2,3, & 5 and then use the granular control in Fusion Strategy 4 (which is HiRider) to manipulate the HiRider strategy - default with latest version is HiRider strat 1 = False I believe. There i...

jonfxbotI hear your position :-)Understand, I'm not defending FWRC, I'm just trying to be objective about where we are and the options those who bought have. And to clarify my ethics (not sure why you used that word here) - Let me be clear for anybody reading this forum next year or the year after when FRWC open things up again - DO NOT BUY IN UNLESS FRWC HAVE RESOLVED THE ISSUES DISCUSSED IN THIS FORUM AND OTHERS, THEIR PRODUCT ROYAL TRADER DOES NOT WORK AS ADVERTISED YET. (Royal trader includes Fusion V, Supervolcano, HiRider, LMD Currency, to name the main EA's not working prop...

Also for those with interest, I found this post from Jeff over on forexmachines dot comUse it for what it's worth but there are some interesting setting variations here to be tested as well as some alternate trading strategy here i.e. One Robot does not always fit all so maybe you just have SV or the SV portion of fusion turned on on your account when things are going sideways - again just things to consider that I don't hear many people discussing / testing - I'm going to set something up to play around some of this on the weekend - if it looks interesting I'll post findings.-...

EarlI understand your position, and hence my PS to FRWC at the end (Yes they do read the forums ;-) ) However I'm not going to wait or rely on FRWC coming up with what is overdue - some of these EA's while not where they need to be are, are pretty close, there are 3 camps here IMO, those who cash out, those who hang on to see what happens, and those who work out the bugs or find work arounds to make it work for themselvesSome of the demo's I have are still positive, just nothing like FRWC return examples / hype - I personally never hoped for 300%, I'm happy with 15% a month mys...

I see a lot of bitchin' and moanin' here :-(To Steve's point above we are wired for success and not failure so I can understand with some of the initial published account results and people's one or two demo / live account results why that might be.But - In poker, you play the hand your dealt or you fold - and this watershed will occur soon (Look on the bright side, at least here with a fold strategy you have the chance of a refund if you followed FRWC guidelines :-)For those still in after the refund period expires, forget about the profitability, that will take care of itsel...

For those of you with your cups half empty, something to cheer you up a bit - this attachment has been running since Mar 3rd with the latest versions available on that date of HiRider, Neg Corelation, Cobalt & SV. (Although net isn't much above initial investment, open trades typically end up in the black so you are getting a snapshot here)In general with regards to the total Royal Trader package, LMD, HiRider & Fusion have most promise IMO - the issue is not the robots making money (look past the forest and check your Gross Profit numbers), the issue is stopping the losses.I have ...
