OK whatever. I have respect for everyone here, especially people who can back up their claims about positive expected trading results with actual evidence. I never claimed to want to integrate myself somewhere, but yes, I understand that this is a ...

Correct! Btw, I just noticed that your EAs were made with a builder. At first I thought it was from some commercial EA vendor. My requests for changes to it have therefore been resolved. I'll let it continue to run as an experiment and I'm excited ...

My mindset is fine. A simple definition of a system is that it is 'a complex whole; a set of things working together. If you read through my posts about the dividend trade, you will find that i asked for help of what could be missing to make this ...

Yes, I'm not actually looking for an EA either. As I said, I mentioned this dividend trade because of the simple rules and mechanical/structured process at certain times. But so far I haven't seen any way to regularly generate a certain minimum ...

Thank you for your words. I agree with you. Even though it may have given the impression that I view trading linearly. I don't do that. I know there are ups and downs and no certainty of a guaranteed result. I have been a self-employed entrepreneur ...

So far neither you nor the other "good people" here have been able to show me a single solution to my problem but a lot of empty words without evidence. I'm not primarily looking for friends here, I'm looking for solutions to my problems. When I ...

Stock indices always go up as long as economy grows and corporations earn more money.

I think that's good. Anything in trading that outperforms buy-and-hold investing + inflation and costs is. What is being done here as hedging and averaging down doesn't quite suit my style or what I'm actually looking for, but if it's profitable and ...

I think my psychology is that I look at things as emotionlessly and soberly as possible and that I am simply looking for a realistic way to be able to live from trading in the long term and, if necessary, to be able to save something for my pension. ...

OK. Maybe, but I think if you want to make a living from trading for longer than maybe a few months, you should approach it a little more professionally than "it'll be okay somehow." With this attitude, you might get a salary at the end of the month ...

Thanks. So the EAs are not completely random and are optimized as a result of your backtesting on the M5 timeframe. Understand. Optimization is tricky as it can easily result into curve fitting. I can recommend to always do a second backtest on some ...

I have it running on an ICM demo account. So the trades are opened without any logic in terms of time, money management or direction? I've read about some experiments like this in the past where trades were entered absolutely randomly, but I don't ...

EAs are running now on the same pairs and timeframe. Just can't find any parameters for determining position size/risk. On USD/JPY it has already opened a trade with 0.01 lots. I use a 10,000 euro account. Let's see, will share the results next ...

So if I understand you correctly, you keep adding orders as long as the trade continues to go against you. You say "big bank, small lots" but i don't know what that means to you in percentage terms. In case of the CAC trade, can you let me know your ...

Will take a look. You should consider a prop with these stats like the other user said. If you can keep the dd under -5% daily and -10% overall and still be profitable with the EAs running on a server (not even costing you time). That sounds like a ...

Just noticed that it is already Thursday and the ex-div trade with the expected 1.91 points for FTSE is already over. I am getting old... I can't see a gap on the chart? Looks like if anything my 1:1 trade would have been lost. Probably another ...

FTSE with a 1.91 dividend adjustment for tomorrow on IG. So far my live results on the dividend strategy are: 08/05/24 FTSE | +1R 15/05/24 FTSE | +1R 20/05/24 CAC | -1R Only 1 buy order after the Gap with a fixed 1:1 RR. Not sure about carrying the ...

Are these your EAs or some commercial ones? Sorry, i haven’t followed the topic from the start. I mainly started to read because of the dividend strategy. Hedging, having multiple orders running all the time and even over multiple markets isn’t the ...

Yes, I agree with you. There are a lot of charlatans. Say +2% per month at -1% risk.
- lddd replied May 22, 2024
Have you considered a prop trading firm? I do, but without even finding one strategy that is likely to at least generate 1-2% even that isn’t any help.
