FRWC - Fusion V - Alpari v Obchodné systémy Mar 10, 2010 at 10:32

I'd like to clarify that the performance issues I observed were not with Fusion but another EA.I don't know about oversight for Fusion and so far I can't see it, but I do see significant difference in performance when latency is different.

Pipper,jonfxbot doesn't bother me in the least. I understand his ire and I'm sure he'll grow out of it at some point. (And really, I don't mean it in any snide way.) Plus he does represent the disappointment in performance of the EA's which is important. They really aren't performing as implied.As mentioned to carlscott1982 and Irbis, I've been made a little paranoid about what brokers might read here.Okay, here's MY rant.I'd like to believe that brokers are so big that our pitifully small trades are of no consequence to them, but if there are one thousand m...

That's some crazy losses, man.

carlscott1982 and Irbis,Sent you guys PM's on my observations. Future posts in this main thread will be more generic, if at all.jonfxbot,I have nothing more to say to you. However, I sincerely do wish well for your future.

oc92673, are you posting from the same terminal as jonfxbot? lol...jonfxbot, it's really bizarre how you say GmtOffset is not important then in your explanation why so, end up saying it is.I'm quite lost for words.If I were FRWC, I would give you your refund right now.Sigh... I'll give this another go.At no point did I say LMD trades best at Asian hours. I haven't studied the logic. LMD lost most of your money, huh?Observers can note that SuperVolcano trades during the active sessions, avoiding GMT 1 to 5. Straasha, the opposite, when the Euro mkts are closed. Both are understa...

Hi carlscott1982,For your ATC accounts, unless you actively changed your Fusion settings for AutoGmtOffset to False (by default being True), it should auto detect and adjust your GMT settings. It does not matter what GmtOffset is set to as AutoGmtOffset overrides it.Hi Irbis,I found another account which also took a big hit from equivalent HiRider trades opened on 03.02.2010 11:12 and closed on 03.03.2010 16:30. Although there it only opened 5 positions.http://www.myfxbook.com/members/fusionrobot/fusion-v-robot/18386They shouldn't be the same broker as FXPro as their GmtOffset is different...

Thank you again for posting, every little bit helps in understanding the limits. Which broker are you using for this acount?Offhand, the lotsize is too large. My accounts that have anything larger 0.01lot/$1k equity have also blown up. That said, the ones that are trading at this size/equity are also rather lackluster. However, the major thing is is that my trade timings don't match up with yours at all. Hence the question on which broker are you using.Your HiRider trades open on 03.04.2010 02:17 (10 positions) had a loss not at the designated 210 pip SL. Were they stopped out due to hitti...

If you open a demo/live account through their introducing broker, it will allow for the 1:200 leverage, 0.01 lot minimum settings. It's instructed on one of the webpages of FRWC.I do hope that those of you who request refunds, upon compliance of the agreed terms, do get it. Please kindly post if and when you do get it sometime in March.In the meantime, I think it is in the best interest of FRWC to come up with some better settings for Fusion, and reprise their earlier recommended 0.01lot/$1k equity. I find myself working a little too much to set up the optimal settings and I feel this shou...

You do realise that what you posted can in some countries constitute a prosecutable offense, right? Plus that it paints your character in a very unflattering light.Most of you appear to expect instant results, and I don't blame you for taking in all the marketing spiel. But let your analysis of the trades speak for themselves before crying for blood.You've only tested for 2 weeks, and unfortunately on recommended parameters that are less than ideal. Put some effort in and work out how to maximise your money spent and tweak the parameters. And give your recommendations/observations. Fus...

I think it's still too early to make conclusive judgements on the EAs.It's been only about 2 weeks since most of us have started testing. And it's good that the shit hits the fan right at the beginning where most, if not all of us, are demo-ing, allowing us to temper our settings for live trading.Plus they appear to be still working at improving the EA's, which is good.

FAPTurbo v Obchodné systémy Mar 04, 2010 at 16:57

Very nice, thank you for the effort in the testing. Will study them.

Started looking at Straasha, quite an interesting EA. However, I don't fully understand why the RSI for buy and sell are not mirrored.RSI_Buy1 = 31RSI_Buy2 = 34RSI_Sell1 = 70RSI_Sell1 = 64If mirrored (not including 0 on the scale), they would be eitherRSI_Buy1 = 31RSI_Buy2 = 34RSI_Sell1 = 70RSI_Sell1 = *67*.....orRSI_Buy1 = 31RSI_Buy2 = *37*RSI_Sell1 = 70RSI_Sell1 = 64Perhaps it is due to observed behaviour of the EURGBP pair?Main point, to give it it's due, I was initially turned off the the ridiculously large lot sizes used in the Martingale component (WHY does FRWC keep spelling it ...

I just checked the latest HiRider manual and they have updated it with some explanation of LotRiskReductor and the risk exposure."WARNING: LotRiskReductor = 5 does *not* mean that your maximum potential loss will be 5% of your account - it means that 5% of your available margin will be used to open a trade. Depending on which currency pair you are trading, you could lose more or less than 5% of your account. Also, be aware that if you specify a risk percentage which results in a lot size which is too small to trade then the EA will use the minimum lot size allowed by your broker e.g. the ...

Yes, I quite agree, we shouldn't be working this hard to get a product to function. An expensive product no less. Had I started out using this EA, I would have given up on EA's completely.I'm the kind to persevere but I'm beginning to lose a little patience. $999 is a little offputting for the kind of performance received. They can make it a little better by upping the service but so far, it's a little lackluster. For one, I still don't know why the dll's with these EA's are signalled as viruses when other commercial EA's can get by. It's frustrating whe...

FRWC - Fusion V - Alpari v Obchodné systémy Mar 03, 2010 at 22:43

I think they really believe they have winning EA's and are striving to deliver some kind of genuine product. Just that they've had a rough starting week.However, I do feel that their literature is grossly inadequate. And that it takes us, their customers, to figure out how to use their product in an effective way. Their pdf's are too rudimentary and lack proper notification of the full risks involved. Possibly even to the point of breaching some regulation.Well, these last 2 weeks are a real trial by fire, and I hope they persevere and manage to deliver what they strive to do. And ...

I finally figured out why on some of my accounts, Super Volcano would not trade. If your starting equity is $1,000 and your leverage is 1:100, and you set LotsRiskReductor to 1.5 or less, the very first position will be calculated as 0.0099, which is less than the minimum 0.01 lots required to open a trade.As a refresher for some not in the know,LRR = 1.5% of available margin,Amount to use to trade = USD 1,500Equivalent GBP = GBP 993.52 (1.50979 fxrate)1st position lotsize = 993.52/100000 = 0.0099 lots (<0.01 lots, therefore, does not open)Might be a reason why they require to use FXCM UK&#...

Thank you for posting your demo, irbis.eafinder, it looks legit. From what I can see, the martingale component of Straasha kicks in after a loss by opening limit orders which do not have SL/TP. You can compare with the earlier trades. The lot sizes are identical (9,13,17,21,25,29,33,37,41).However, something about the settings in Straasha might be different. I can't comment further as I didn't test it.irbis, could you tell us if and what you changed for Straasha? We can learn from each other.And irbis didn't over-extend the lotsize, trading the recommended 0.01lot/$1k. It is a litt...

FRWC - Fusion V - Alpari v Obchodné systémy Feb 28, 2010 at 18:30

Yes, that was my intention too, to allow the trades to scale accordingly. How else can I go for my year-long yachting cruise, and come back to see the EA still chugging along at 0.01 lots? Haha...I hazard a guess that Maxlots is as what it states, the maximum open lots possible. For DecreaseFactor, I don't know, I suspect it's the same as LRR. I gave up my initial observation that it reduces the next position by a factor when you pointed out something to the effect that mt4 probably would not differentiate a trade event and a next trade position within an event. (Makes sense!) Every si...

Hi zornjaso,I agree with you, my bad on assuming you leave trading to the logic of the EA's solely. It just sounded like it. And I think we were posting at the same time, such that you might not have seen my earlier post on the lack of SL for Super Volcano before your post on setting a conservative lotsize. My point of contention was that, regardless of having conservative lotsize/equity, without a SL, Super Volcano still has a chance to clean out an account.And to be frank, the statement below did make me feel that you were dismissive of the process of understanding."If you do that, ...

FRWC - Fusion V - Alpari v Obchodné systémy Feb 27, 2010 at 22:45

At the risk of sounding condescending, why would you want to swallow things wholesale?If you are already leaving the logic of entering and exiting your trades to an automated system, at the very least spend some time understanding the money management side of it.If I didn't bother to analyse, I wouldn't have come to the conclusion that LRR does not set a SL for Super Volcano.We already don't know how Super Volcano exits a losing trade. And the default settings have no SL set. It's not "safe and profitable trading" to letting an algorithm decide whether your a/c is wip...
