Hi,

I’m testing the Ctrader_V02 posted by barnix with the following setting:

EQUITY: € 2000
lots A 01
lots B 01
lots C 01
lots D 01

ALL BASKET PROFIT PIPS 50
BASKET 1 100
BASKET 2 100
BASKET 3 100
BASKET 4 100

Is it correct? or better reduce to:

ALL BASKET PROFIT PIPS 25
BASKET 1 50
BASKET 2 50
BASKET 3 50
BASKET 4 50

Could anybody explain me, please?

Thanks

I've got two versions on forward test now, one martingales, the other has binary lot sizing.

Unfortunately, I put both on a $25,000 account which is half the recommended size for the 0.05 core-lot size they use and consequently, the martingaler gobbled up all the available margin in yesterdays downturn, allowing no more trades to be opened. Luckily(!) the account survived and the martingaler closed its secondary positions today - it has increased account size by over 10% in little over a week, the accrued swap-interest contributing a not insignificant 0.54% so far! The Binary EA didn't have enough margin to open its second secondary positions, had it, it would also have closed it's still-open secondary positions at a nice profit.

Conclusions - same as before. Martingale is dangerous when left to its own accords but there's no denying that it can deliver the goods when things go right. The Binary EA is up about 1% but hasn't 'booked' any profits yet...

@vtam, just wondering did you ever include a martigale-over-ride in your testing - say, once it opens martingale level 4, switch to 'safe-mode'?

I definitely think this has a lot of potential. It just needs to not keep opening positions when things start to look 'hairy'...

Ctrader close Basket1 and Basket2.

Hi,

TimeFreedom I’ve seen that on post 126 you’ve done some backtest, where did you get the indicator at the bottom of the picture? Could you share it? I’m trying to optimise the basket for a minimum drawdown of the equity…..really tedious work! Excellent thread and compliment to all, especially to vtam for the excellent idea.

Ciao

Hi,

Just a question to Barnix, I’m checking the thread “Trading Gold/USD “and I must say that you are from another planet, a real genius!!! Would it be possible to use the same technique that you use for the “DJI Breakout Forecasting Signal” for the Ctrader? Opening the long on the crossing up, and opening the close on the crossing down?

Carry on with your work…it is really fascinating!

Ciao

SuperLuz,

You can find the indicator here: GoldenMoneyTree.com :: View topic - SPRTN PseudoHedge Ideas and Testing
