xxl205 Posted September 7, 2010 Report Share Posted September 7, 2010 Monday was US bank holiday, AND a Obama speech was announced in the afternoon / evening europe time. Ok, the news filter did not tell you this, but your eyes on the FF calendar would :) Thus, I had my EAs turned off, because the day came with lousy volatility and I have learned to better keep hands off at those times. Could we possible include a switch in the news filter for banking holidays / white events in FF calendar ? That would be a very nice thing ...

Could be really appreciate..Thanks Well, we all learn. I was testing all kinds or EAs on holidays, and my final conclusion follows : Scalpers need a BIT liquidity / volatility. Not too much, but also not too less. Imagine a boat on the lake. You wouldn't want to run it without any winds, but a thunderstorm also isn't what you want :) so if there is almost no move in the market like yesterday, where should the little waves we need come from ? Thus it goes one way or the other straight, much more tending down the drain. I turn my EA's off on holidays, especially UK/US ones because they are the FOREX markets that are looked on most. America sneezes, the world goes ill. I will also switch off on the last friday before xmas, and continue 2-3 weeks after that. Will demo for that time after new year to see when volatility catches up again. Next US holiday to watch before xmas will be thanksgiving, I guess ... but didn't check the calendar this far in advance at the moment. A switch for that white events in the news filter would be very cool. We always tend to think about the hefty movements, but as said, should not sail when there is no wind at all :) I am beginning to check out new strategies with higher timeframes H1/H4 to trade in a complete different style than scalping, cause I got fed up of that bumps over the last 3-4 weeks in almost all EAs I am / was running. I need to focus more on the longer waves a pair does, because the short ones are really getting more and more unpredictable. I find it very funny that even If I was told from the beginning, the process of realisation took me a while. Patience is what I had to learn, to see the better outcome at the end.

EURCHF does what it wants, risk is being transferred out and in, dunno how to trade this one, not even to speak of how to scalp. Have switched it off on KAIN and MegaDroid. Also, for not only EURCHF but all others ... think of the last two septembers, the one 2008 and last year 2009. Look at the backtests. 2008 was the crash, all gone wild until Nov 2008. Last year it was very bumpy until mid of October, then again in November. Fall is a hefty season ... risks down, eyes mostly closed and hopefully we all make it through :) Edited September 7, 2010 by xxl205 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
expat1967 Posted September 7, 2010 Report Share Posted September 7, 2010 I am tending to more safety as well. I am almost considering to take all scalpers off for this year... See how it goes this month.... E.g. I will switch off all Scalping EAs+ for the upcoming FOMC release on the 21st Sept. at least for 3 days (20st-22nd).

retryll Posted September 23, 2010 Report Share Posted September 23, 2010 Hello, dinj their contributions are impressive, you can tailor-forex volatility indicator http://www.forex-volatility.com To work with version: FOREX MEGADROID PRO XE v1.2 v1.01ee (educated & enhanced)+ bbrain unplugged v11 Version = "1.01ee+bbrv11+fxhB+XE_v1.2"; The idea is to calculate that if there is a high volatility, the robot does not work, similar to filter the news but in this market by adapting to the indicator-forex volatility I appreciate your contribution, thank you very much in advance.

SpacyTrader Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 (edited) I noticed that on fxopen which is GMT+2 many pairs are doing a lot better with GMT. Anybody else noticed the same thing ? The improvement is immense. Edited October 9, 2010 by SpacyTrader Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
expat1967 Posted November 11, 2010 Report Share Posted November 11, 2010 Hi All, still using any of the N1 versions? I do with great confidence. I am using 1.01 for quite a while now, having kicked out EURJPY and set all Newsfilter to skip high and medium news 6hrs plus/minus. Further using aggresive mode as well on the major pairs. Recovery is off. Drives for steady results, though. Brokers matter! I have it running on three brokers using the same setup. Best results on FXCM even on higher up to double the spreads. Trade entries are accross the same... E.g. there is a 20% profit difference between FXCM and Alpari UK as well the win rate on FXCM is higher due to breakeven trades... What is causing this? Not sure yet... From what I have seen this week Alpari is sending more than double the ticks... So, does the more price changes press on the performance? Your experience/results?

SpacyTrader Posted November 12, 2010 Report Share Posted November 12, 2010 I've noticed this too with the asian scalpers. Like FxOpen having better results than liteforex which has a lot more tick activity. In fact in one instance eakain took a disastrous trade on liteforex eurusd that it didn't on fxopen.

SpacyTrader Posted November 12, 2010 Report Share Posted November 12, 2010 Tks but in the case of liteforex I don't need that ticker. It must have a lot more than doble the ticks fxopen has. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

expat1967 Posted November 13, 2010 Report Share Posted November 13, 2010 has someone experience with megadroid 1.30? I have it running on non aggressive mode. Seems to trade only on XMAS or so... Will change to aggressive but giving it a break on news at least within or close the trading session. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
