Million Dollar Pips讨论

Just had some trades: small loss of 0.8% at first account, nothing on 2 and 3.

6 trades in two batches, -10 pips total given that I closed the second batch myself with a script as I saw it coming down more, being a cascading stop liquidation. adding to last Friday's -4.5% losses I am 3% down on the month.. Big slippages both Friday and today.

-1.15% in two trades for me

I had considerably less slippage than last Friday (also on another not published account, where I had 7 trades and was positive overall) and think the spike(s) must have been less volatile today. (I did not watch it, though).

3 trades and -5 pips for me, I hope a good spike comes soon.

two trades, both were in profit on 5+ pips, but pulled back, MDP set SL to break even but slippage over 2 pips turned them into losers. sick and tired.

Waiting for the next upswing ...

This year so far is boring. Seems like every Friday is a losing day. Loses for me on all accounts.

MDP is dead. It's over.

Too bad, you missed out on all the profits.............

Every time there is a little drawdown the negative crowd shows up. Never hear from you guys when a profit is made.

Perhaps this is the explanation: successful users stay silenced since their winnings are the others' looses. So I suspect it's better to shut up and keep getting pips. This EA will keep working forever if the algorithm it uses meets the proper built-in condition. There's no such thing as a dead MDP.

I patiently wait till crowds will get disappointed and drop out then the brokers won't get DOSed by thousands of MDP orders, liquidity won't be a problem and those who stay will be happy. Otherwise I need to develop an MDP clone but working with a slightly different timing not to be engaged same time as crowds do. I think MDP's worst problem is its success. But Morrisson made his millions already and moved on with FFM which aren't making any money AFAIK for happy buyers.

I suspect that if you change num orders to a higher level it will trade more frequently. I believe that it will change the height of the bollinger band and enter sooner than most everybody. It could also create bigger losses since it is entering earlier in the spike. If this assumption is correct you will have your slightly different timing that you are looking for.

If I am incorrect in my understanding of the num order setting let me know.

Not really, changing order number will change precisely that, order number, i.e. a number of orders opened. It does not open all at once but uses a concept of channels, adding one order each 5 pips of move after the trigger (touching 3 standard deviation bb), so it increases risk in case of bigger moves, but not the point where the order will be in relation to the price, AFAIK it is always precisely in some 3 pips from the price. Version 1.1.6 used 2 pips and IMO it could be more successful in current markets rather than version 1.2 as later is looking for bigger moves that aren't present this year often.

I think the better trade idea would be to trigger earlier but trail at smaller distance, use much tighter stop loss and look for smaller profits, close out sooner. And most importantly - don't go public with it.

Thanks for the clarification Misty.

Do you know what the effect of turning off stops?

The effect could be you will lose your account and still owe some if once in a blue moon big spike will come against and your broker will deny closing a trade with a market order.
