Thread: EA made for long-term profit

I really don't know

not sure what were you thinking, but you shouldnt be amazed about the lack of interest, really.

Fact 1. You made an EA that seem to work for you
reality 2. It's not right for share, not available... cloudy reference just even to the notions behind to attempt manually trade something alike
reality 3. You admit the forward data insufficient yet, and need a bigger account to be able to follow it... back for reality 2, curiosity killer, huh?

Blackjack, or bingo, or jackpot, as you desire!
Only whatever you won, it isnt interest!

Hm, so it's not interesting for you if I do not share it? And yet one complete page of fundamental description isn't enough (appear post #1)?
If you're interested in more detailed thoughts behind it you should only ask me some questions regarding it. Or would you anticipate simply to send the code for free (or perhaps even sell it to you for 100 $)? I really don't want to do that because there is too much work involved to simply devalue it simple. You have to understand that I can't give all of the details to you.

Appears like an interesting system and profitable so far. It would be difficult to offer comments without watching the EA run in real 19, or make comments. Just looking at stats doesn't tell much except how it performed over a definite period. Not the workings. Since you aren't supplying the EA (and that is the best, Im not bashing you for this), it's difficult to observe the EA's strengths or poss.weakness when there are any. As you did mention martingale, that that can cause some pause for traders.

As you did mention martingale, that that could cause some pause for many traders.

Hm, I guess you are right as you set it like that. You can't really comment taking a look at stats.
I was only hoping to maybe open any questions and discuss them. I also supplied the link where trading can be seen.

I shall leave this tread independently for some time and see what happens.
Likely I will rather start a new one in Commercial Content forum later on because im thingking about opening a PAMM account. The time will tell.
Thx

I believe you got it wrong.
I gave a general answer to your general question concerning what the reasons may be behind the lack of interest in your thread.

Personally, I have read through the overall idea behind submitting you, and found that really it's similarity on something I work on, especially a limited/soft martingale approach, which controls the risk. But I am no EA person, know nothing about programming can provide you no questions regarding those.
As for the cash management and the martingale facet, as well as 'no trade' time periods I think we could probably might have a chat favorable to both

Looking at your trade listing in the explorer I attempted to get an idea how the EA works. I can make a guess. Seems you open multiple trades at same level occasionally with equivalent lot dimensions but some distinct. Some were .01 other people .02 or even .03. If the price moves against you, you add to the place with bigger lot and exactly the same. Guessing this is the martingale egy and also the unknown is the way you decide on the pairs and the initial lot size to use? Most trades were closed at a specific level for a little profit or loss. I believe your profit goal is little and you rely on a win rate to profit. Like I said its difficult to tell from closed trades but when I had to guess, I believe that is some type of grid trading platform employing a modified martingale for lot sizing? I could be totally wrong too.

No problem, especially in the event that you have any ideas in your own we could definetly both gain on that.

Actually you are very right Pairs and initial lot dimensions are not picked randomly. Everything this EA does is calculated dependent on 10yrs history, so for each pair and each timeframe it has different settings for initial position (and size raising scale with each next position). You'd be astonished how much pairs and timeframes are distinct one into another. That's the reason I feel that no EA could be succesful if it uses the same configurations for various pairs.

I run a modified grid trading EA myself so it was a logical guess. It run on pairs so perhaps we are baking the cake that is exact same with recipies? Plus your trade record was very close to what mine was after 2 months. I do not use any martingale however or any hedging (U.S based). I know this limits my profit a bit but limits DD as well. Some people are not fond of these type of systems since you sometimes have to carry down some bait. However, if you're smart about it and prepared to shut trades that are losing out not, and when needed hold forever like grid progr, they could get the job done. I am 3 weeks into a 6 month intended demo and doing well with it. Will go live if its still very good at demo's conclusion. You appear to have a well laid out program and a robot that functions as planned. Best of luck and continued success.

Your EA functionality is looking great... congrats ...
May I know from where and how you got the good quality tick by tick data for 10 years?
