Thread: Frostys Daily Trades - 100/40 1D EA method

Interesting idea really. I am just using the fundamental 100 on all pairs. As I mentioned previously in this thread, I'm running the 100/40 on 8 pairs along with bastardv03 (with AWE turned ON) on the exact same 8 pairs. Exactly the way is usually opened by them, but frequently they open transactions in different directions. AWE utilizes a different procedure to receive it's signals. It doesn't matter that much frankly, the method behind them is exactly the same when it comes to just how many lots to open, the stepping, etc.. .

Also, doing fairly well again. I let it go while I slept and I am up another hundred!

Closed down to the week. On the page, you can view my current standings. Attached is the graph for the whole time that I've had the account (roughly 5 percent of those trades are not with this system).

Doing VERY well. 67% growth over a half and a month is QUITE good. I am very happy to say the least. Keep in mind that I took $900 in profits about 2 weeks back (and an extra $25 fee on this).

I calculated my daily development and found that I'm averaging $53.13 a day, which gives me a 3% average daily growth rate (based on the original investment, this doesn't compound). Of course I do better and I do worse, however, this is the average. Not bad.

Hey frost

have you ever think about using the MM alternative? Using 0.1% start instead of fixed lot?

Looks interesting.

I've considered this, but I have a plan laid out that is quite specific, so I stick with 0.01 lots at the moment.

I'm down to $1,159.43. I lost about 50 percent of my account on Monday and Tuesday due to currency pairs failing to retrace, reckless greed and trading. I've been accustomed to making gains every day and I've been running too many pairs. I must be sticking to my $50 a day target, not wanting to go it behind. I am still up complete, but this still stings. It is ideally a lesson.

This crazy Shit is going to finish soon! (I expect I simply made my residue)

It seems like things do today, but I'm staying out before I see a couple of days of adequate, 'ordinary' trading. I'm still doing the 2k to 60k challenge, but I think I'll be beginning with a bit less than 2k

Normal, wonder if we'll ever see again. I am doing Ok with my accounts and'm up for the last 10 days, but I am confronting decisions every day to keep or let a trade move. It utilized tot be I did very little of that but currencies are whacky. I was up over 200 dollars yesterday and was doing some work in my computer so I said, I am right here, I can watch it while I am working. Well, dang if the EUR/CAD didnt move 200 points in roughly half an hour and all a sudden I am facing a situation that is very terrible. Well, there goes a days work just like that. Even I let the greed factor get to me. I been in good shape and could have closed out with my 200. I am up again today about 80 and it looks like another day but I have got to stay from the USA session. Fantastic work, I believe we can observe the system works using a market very well but man this volatility is currently keeping the continuous growth thing from occurring. Down and its up now.
