Forex Shocker

Re: Forex Shoker

 

Regarding JadeFX and slippage, it definitely does happen. I typically run a demo platform side-by-side with my live platform in order to check fill quality. A few weeks ago prior to the upgrade, I had a Forex Shoker 1.1 USDCHF trade that executed on the demo platform, took 4 pip profit, and closed the trade. On the live platform it suffered 10 pips of slippage on entry, causing the trade not to hit T/P, eventually causing trade to hit S/L. Of course, I was away from the screen at the gym while this was going on. Grrr.... Anyhow, the most disturbing thing about the whole issue was that the record of the trade was erased from the journal in my MT4 terminal. Usually slippage is minimal, but I wanted to lay out what you could see in a bad case.

 

The reason I opened up the GoMarkets account was in order to run side-by-side with JadeFX in order to evaluate their STP execution versus JadeFX ECN and how it impacts my overall cost of trading and profitability. Just started with them in January so nothing to report yet.

 

And there is no minimum monthly volume for JadeFX, as they now charge a commission. Rollovers are bad though, if you are going to swing trade/trend follow and hold positions overnight or for a few days. They are not as bad as MB Trading, but they are not good, which was another reason to step back and try to evaluate which brokers is best to run my scalpers from a total cost perspective.

Thank you very much for sharing your experience with JadeFX!

 

I just want to clarify the followings:

 

Do you mean 10-pips of slippage on entry 1-pip or 10-pips with 4-digt broker?

 

Is JadeFX STP or ECN broker, please? And does it matter whether it is STP or ECN broker?

By 10 pips, I mean 10 pips equivalent to 4-digit broker, or 100 on five digit. So, that much slippage was definitely a "shocker" so to speak!

 

JadeFX is an ECN; data feed is unfiltered so can be very jumpy. Good for scalping (as long as super bad slippage doesn't get you), but I will not use for position trading. GoMarkets is my first STP, so still difficult to compare Shoker performance between the two.

If you are going to hold positions overnight, MB Trading is not good. They charge rollover on both sides of the transaction and the rollover rates are about twice as high as you would see elsewhere. The commissions are OK, but the rollover hurts. I have traded with them prior to them getting MT4 and I will not trade with them going forward. There are better ECN/STP brokers.

Re: Forex Shocker

 

I'm really not sure what to think of Shocker,

On demo it is working amazing.

I went from $5000 to $60000 in 4 months, then down to $30,000 again

Since then it has recover and gone back up to $92,000. This has taken a total of 7 months.

But when I use it live, it is never as good,

Trades don't close as quickly, and I end up hitting more Stoplosses.

I've been able to make money with it, but only by babysitting it a lot.

I'll keep using it. But it does not perform anywhere near as well live as it does on demo.

Re: Forex Shocker

 

Here you go uploaded shocker 2 again.

This one should work, it works fine for me (won't backtest usd/cad thou. I've added a different money management where you can just imput risk % instead of agressive true false. I prefer to keep maximum trades on this ea to 1, because double sl will really hurt the account. Other than that it shows promise but it does trade during rollover period (17est, 0gmt) which means some brokers will not take those trades (mb trading for example has bad oe first 15 minutes after rollover period). Here a pic of a backtest i did for usd/chf (one of the few pairs for which i don't have a decent ea yet) Its 9% dd at 20% risk would be 6% at 15%. 100% a year is decent enough from this toy.
