pamm qu på Allmänt Feb 08, 2015 at 09:18

So if you invest in PAMM, and bad luck hits, and they have 25% drawdown, can your share be wiped out?Is the large fund AUM protecting your from ruin? Will you see your funds as DD by 25%? Will you see your amount closed out because you could really only get by with 5% DD.???? What is the maths behind it?

PAMM vs Signals på Allmänt Aug 07, 2013 at 11:17

Issue is - for PAMM normally the investor can see but not trade. The account is locked.If attempting a mix of PAMM + signals - you need to allow client side trades but only by the 'signal'. So need a time sensitive key sent.As it is better to do all on server - maybe what is needed is to ensure Risk levels are set for slave PAMM accounts re: max exposure etc. Maybe signals component is overkill. Maybe also allow them to trade freely - as performance is on the signal performance.

PAMM vs Signals på Allmänt Aug 07, 2013 at 10:04

Yes thanks for replies. The issue is worth discussing.There is servers side PAMM - where master PAMM account has linked investor accounts - and all funds are visible and rules are on the server and broker controls flow of money. i.e. I'm not sure i would go with Instaforex serverside PAMM but they seemed to start doing this first I think.(The server plugins are called umam or imam i think)There is MoneyManagers desktop PAMM where MAM software (Boston Tech clone) will also connect to an EA.Again his clients details are seen.And of course there are signals providers.It seems to me that reg b...

PAMM vs Signals på Allmänt Aug 06, 2013 at 09:46

As i understand it........PAMM offers automation and set of rules and sometimes leaderboard. But control of account is with MM - and you need to open an account with a specific broker.Signals offers service with no need for prof licence because the owners of the money are doing the trades. Its quick easy private.Can a MM get 20% performance +2% service fee when selling signals?How can signalor/provider control size the signalee is trading?If you are a MM ought you really only be interested in PAMM?What is it about being a signal provider that people find attractive?

simulator på Förslagslåda Aug 04, 2013 at 15:58

http://www.myfxbook.com/autotrade/simulatorplease add tab for dd i.e. detailed + cumulative plotting for DD - as you do for profit. 3plots+total etc.Maybe also add tab for other dd - e.g. absolute dd + relative dd + open dd etc . Not sure but the ones that show the scary stuff Also - if you join a system that has 599 followers and the system has 20% dd. I worry that a small account would be wiped out - as 5% = 500% in small account territory.Is there a way to show this risk. Something that is understandable?Thinking aloud "You are simulating - so maybe set a figure re: risk" - and ...

hell if it were possible to speed up just 50 I'd be happy

speed backtesting på Allmänt Jul 17, 2013 at 10:14

When you compare backtesting for Ctrade, MT4, FXCM Trading Station, Amibroker - which is fastest?ie. Optimise an EA, three or four indicator deviations , different profit targets, different trailing, with/without filter, something, somethingcombination can be 2000 different runs - maybe 20000 if your taking tomorrow off.......data length can be 1 month or 4 months or more of 1 min barsetc (I thought about avail multicore + MT5 = speed - but exclude this because WINE is not fully multicore)So if you forget about achieving 99% data quality, 1000's of avail indicators etc.If you accept a...

investor password på Allmänt May 25, 2013 at 16:05

These competitions - a long time ago i read about using an ea and investor password - allowing you to preview trades.Is that possible here?

to mt4 or not to mt4 på Erfaren Traders May 13, 2013 at 14:32

autotrading is bestlinux is securemt4 on wine + linux is possibleyet all these other platforms are windowsA java "backtesting" solution on linux is still missing unless you look at CEP like Progress or streambase.A java "trading" solution however, once your system is designed is possible.ie. saw this the spreads seem not too too bad.But the spreads are lazy - does anyone know the best way to get tight spreads using java?I wonder if either these tight mt4 spreads are because of mini 0.10 and micro 0.01 trading (vs) maybe hotspot are widening spread and taking a cut.Well 9 mb...

this site på Allmänt May 13, 2013 at 13:33

I'm not sure why - perhaps it is the look, perhaps the fuctionality - or both, but i love this site.It is as if they have stumbled onto using 'spring mvc and flash' and can do no wrong.Why does this site exist, how do they make money - or even "not for profit" ?Anyway congrats because the contribution to traders is enormous

contest på Förslagslåda Apr 15, 2013 at 17:49

These trades in the contest are huge and defy belief.Is it not logical to place some limits? And give the code re: limits to each contestant.ie. max 100 lots per trade + max 1000 long and 1000 short.as an exampleUnless i am reading the volume wrong????????? Maybe im not reading it correctly100k *10 = 1million100k *30 = 3million <----------- this was a start trade for one contestant. 3.000.000 So maybe that is realisticSo perhaps my suggestion is that 'lots' are easier to read than 'units'

re volume new feature - got a question please. på Allmänt Jan 22, 2013 at 09:53

For all i know a broker may be running breakeven rapid strategy trading at 0.1 lots or 0.01lots (avail to themselves). Makes it look like large volume.Still it is a nice feature and if we all think it is accurate then it may end up being accurate.

re volume new feature - got a question please. på Allmänt Jan 15, 2013 at 08:05

Yowsa this is great.http://www.myfxbook.com/forex-broker-volumehttp://www.myfxbook.com/forex-broker-volume/fxopen-ecn-EURUSD-volume/272,1http://www.myfxbook.com/forex-broker-volume/fxopen-ecn/272Truly great, and results truly surprising too at times.But forgive me, i want to ask.Is it accurate? What is it saying? I think from memory that volume in MT4 was more re: ........... err not sure ...... maybe not "lots traded per tick" but more - maybe just showing activity and not lots within the activity. ???? So is this volume being sourced from MT4 or are brokers providing data other...

who does large volume and mt4 too på Erfaren Traders Sep 21, 2012 at 14:34

Noticed that a couple of retail brokers that do 80bpm.As opposed to 80 bpd at higher levels like icap via primebrokers.This indicates to me they (retail) could do more - lots of trades with low liquidity risks.Think they are via Integral or tradingtech maybe.I wonder about citifx. They have a wholesale arm, but I wonder if their retail mt4 portal taps into that.I wonder who is doing the largest and using mt4 too. (fxcm excluded of course).

is LMAX proper på Allmänt Mar 26, 2012 at 08:28

LMAX is large % owned by a betting shop and maybe also goldman sachs too, and changed their name to LMAX exchange. And i see articles around how they use different more efficient matching and clearing model.But i would if they are a real exchange. The banks to bank feeds seem to be what forex is really about. I wonder if they are CFD's.That they maybe more like CMC and IGMarkets, I am still very wary of names such as fxcm, from many years ago. Not saying that their pro account is or isn't good, but that mud sometimes sticks.Any ideas on this group?
