In my case the magic number needed to be different as I was using two different chart pairs thus wanted only the equity of my account to be the basis for the calculations. I found that there were conflicting issues with the EA from triggering the trade.My understanding is that the EA and the magic number is used to connect specifically each other, there maybe circumstances where using the same magic number on a set of "triangulation of pairs", but I am yet to look into this. I have tried triangulation before on an EA but that allowed for multiple buy and sell pairs. I am not an expe...

As a small update I have been monitoring the trading for the last 12 hours and now only realised that I did not change the magic number on the second chart.Hopefully this corrects the no-start issue and the real test of running two pairs on the EA should start in shortly.

I have decided to try an extra pair, this may or may not work so I will test this for the week. The EA is based on an equity calculation for entry and exits so theoretically one will start from the "base" equity and depending on the price movement being either negative or positive the second would use that figure to calculate its entry, whenever that is. However, what does need to be observed is if the exit is based on the entry calculation or current which I think it will be thus meaning the EA will either place me into considerable risk if the movements are too great either way tha...

USDJPY Trial and Error på Trading System Dec 03, 2020 at 13:37

After 1 month of trial and error I have decided to stick with my custom EA starting this first week of December.As suggested in my goals, daily of 5% gain with ~25% weekly without saying.It has been a struggle to fine tune a real account but I have not lost thousands or even hundreds, whilst I climb slowly back up to $50, which I am sure I will see by the end of trading on Friday and I have forecast that I will "break even" by 31 December 2020, this being $150 balance that I really started to test my trading account with.I will be leaving this account to do its thing for 12 months.

So I manually closed out the live account positions as you'll see that the markets had a substantial movement in the other direction and in doing I went from $221 to $24.63....I am going to trade manually now to get my account to $200 again.

Currently my Live and EURUSD demo accounts are the only ones not using the v1.10 HMA EA whic I will activate once the TP's are met.Screenshot attached of backtesting results for v1.10 with an account starting with $200 USD. A reminder that the drop in the account at the end only represents that "cut-off" of data which there are open trades, hence why I don't see much of an issue with the overall results.

I had an interesting start to the week where now again I am waiting for the rebound to make a small profit which I am confident that this will happen - as per the attached screen shot.This is using the HMA EA indicator and I have had to change back to manual mode and placing my own TP's just to cover myself. The other accounts I have "played" with the settings which I am feeling more comforatble with now as backtesting (MT4 strategy tester) is different when you have a live account and in all, I have got a good EA now that I am going to run for a few weeks like I did with Corti 2...

The "Magic"of using fully automated EA's.Trial and error but at least risking a very small account has helped me tweak a few settings for next time.

HMA EA-Live på Trading System Nov 02, 2020 at 11:31

I did try to load Corti EA again at the start of the trading day but was unable to get the right settings again.As the name change suggests and description, I am now using the Indicator EA with only one fx pair. It has some suitable settings now after a bit of testing and optimising over the weekend which should see some interesting results.I have also loaded 4 demo accounts also in my portfolio using the HMA EA, fx pairs named in the profiles.

Start of the week and new start to the month.It is generally accepted now that many large companies and orgainsations take a less risky approach during the week before and during the US elections through a liquid cash management strategies. In saying this, many don't actually halt trading altogether but more so exit out of positions that maybe volitile during these weeks and keep the stable stocks / trades.My strategy is to trade with the potential movements with pairs that are cointegrated having smaller variances thus catching the sideways movements and not worrying about top and bottom ...

Finally traded my way back from a -$158 equity with a small profit waiting for a new start next Monday 2 October 2020.

2 weeks later and almost there. US markets just opened so hoping to restart next Monday.

About 45 minutes until NY opens. COVID news in Europe has affected the markets so hoping to turn the account around today / tonight.

HMA EA-Live på Trading System Oct 28, 2020 at 08:34

There is about 30 minutes until London opens and I have decided to manual trade my way out which may see me make a bit more than the average using the automatic trading. The strategy it to close out each position at $1.00 in profit.Will see what happens at the open today if there are some revesal in the direction.

Not much of an update but was hoping that the market reversal would have been more linear, however I might get close to breaking even by the end of the week, meaning the getting to the level of my initial deposit / trade start of $150.Still not sure if I swap to manual mode soon to close out the trades once they hit 0or a small a profit or wait for the EA to 'kick in' after the target is met.Have been trialling the demo of the indicator EA with mixed results as during the backtesting over a 2 month period it did take awhile with the settings as posted earlier to make a reasonable virtu...

As a quick update to the Corti 2.22 issue, MasterCool66 advised that the setting for the virtual group to start needed to change which I have done so and is now working.Whilst I wait for the live account with corti 1.3 to breakeven or make a small profit I am happy to say that I am reasonably confident that I can re-boot 2.22 and continue the good stats on the live account.

HMA EA-Live på Trading System Oct 26, 2020 at 12:40

Whilst doing some research I stumbled across this EA through YouTube.I haven't had any time to try this but looks interesting.This is the instructions link but does not seem to have part 1 included, however the other parts explain enough to understand what it does.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lNt8PNrRKGs&ab_channel=PatrickCofflinCredits to Partick Coffin

Latest update on live account. Hoping to be able to start Corti 2.22 again this week.

HMA EA-Live på Trading System Oct 26, 2020 at 07:30

Starting the week with a slight market reversal which is promising news but would see that this trend would need at least 3 days of this direction to even break even.Screen dump of recent backtesting results but draw down has incresed.

This particular EA does not allow for backtesting so I spent 1 month testing on 8 demo accounts with different settings. As I accidently closed the EA and was frustrated I loaded the wrong EA, version 1.3, not 2.22 and now in a waiting game for the market to swing around so I can start version 2.22 again.Yes, I agree, backtesting is fundamentally important where possible.
