rex68 Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 By the way, how many times did u hit SL for your live account last month? @vikram -- IBFX is an NFA broker, so you would automatically get NFA/FIFO trades regardless of what settings you use. So, typically, you should have fewer losses than someone who can hedge/non-fifo. @rex -- override = true uses the hours you set manually. override = false uses buit-in logic's defaults. Set it to true. Anyway: It is my suggestion to all following this method that you set your "aggressive on" pairs to NFA = true. kudos if helpful ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

murtamad Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 I've been following this excellent Megadroid N1 thread but did not get to try out the modded Megadroid as I could not leave my laptop on 24 hours. I just got my first VPS subscription but it's at the lower end of the scale with only 384mb of RAM. Is this sufficient to run Theozaki's 10 pairs strategy? What's the minimum PC resources that we should have to run Megadroid N1 with 10 pairs? Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noziggity81 Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 (edited) @rex: I've only been live for 3 weeks now with this setup, and ive hit stop loss twice so far with aggressive off for my live account. It should be noted that (as can be seen in my previous post) that my FxPro demo has non-agg SL's for both EURJPY and USDJPY whereas my Go Markets live had only the non-agg SL for USDJPY (irrespective of aggressive trades). So, Go Markets never even took the EURJPY trade. It does depend on your balance and lot size, but one of the advantages of trading theozaki's portfolio of 10 currencies with the news filtering is that you often have several wins in some that negate the one or two losses. For example, assuming I had NFA mode set "on" on my FxPro demo account, I would have had 2 losses of about 85 dollars and 5-6 wins amounting to about 45 dollars, making my total loss around 40. I am curious, however... since there was medium impact news today... I wonder if any filtration for medium/low impact news would be helpful. Although, not every loss can (or should) be avoided. Sometimes you just have to accept that losses happen even with the best of systems. I think the lesson learned here, for me at least, is that aggressive mode should only be used with NFA = true.

forexample Posted July 9, 2010 Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 (edited) After day 2 account at -2.28%. If anything, after a month or three I'll see what if any pairs are worth it. Will update once a week or so, not one for checking performance of these kinds of things daily as I prefer to spend my time studying manual trading.

noziggity81 Posted July 9, 2010 Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 In reviewing my accounts, I am noticing that the JPY pairs are the most troublesome over the past 2 weeks. Almost all losses have been due to USDJPY or EURJPY. Since they only account for 2 of the 10 pairs, I may turn them off on my live account. I am beginning to get the impression that Megadroid pro (N1 or otherwise) is not best suited to the JPY pairs. Just a quick update. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noziggity81 Posted July 10, 2010 Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 It should be noted that all of my losses for EURJPY and USDJPY occured in the 19:00 GMT hour (19:00-19:59). Therefore, I am modifying my trading times for those two pairs from 19-22 to 20-22. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noziggity81 Posted July 10, 2010 Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 Hi Vikram: For now, I have aggressive off on my live account and aggressive on on my demo account for the next 2 weeks. If all goes as planned, I will turn aggressive on on the live account in 2 weeks after further testing. So, in terms of suggestions, Id suggest to proceed with caution at this time re: turning aggressive on. At any rate -- whenever aggressive is on, I would suggest ALWAYS having "NFA = true" set as well!

noziggity81 Posted July 11, 2010 Report Share Posted July 11, 2010 Hi vikram -- I never got any trades on friday, live or demo. Unless specifically enabled MD doesnt trade on fridays. (not sure what the 1.21 settings are since i use pro only). I am, however, switching my demo account over to MD Pro 1.2 XE N1 from 1.01ee N1 starting tomorrow for two weeks forward testing. I do have sunday and friday and month end trading enabled, as well as NFA and aggressive on. Hey Noziggity Did you get the same trade on live/demo account I am switching from USD/JPY to USD/CAD md1.21 no dll NFA True Aggressive Off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noziggity81 Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 Come on guys -- I would really like to hear from more of you. Stop trolling and contribute your results! My demo (FxPro) running Megadroid Pro XE 1.2 N1 (0.1 mini fixed, aggressve on, friday & sunday trading true, NFA true, theozaki's trading hours and news filtering) has fared well today. 9 trades: 7 winners, 1 small loser, and 1 still open in small drawdown. Profit = approx 60 dollars/pips profit today, winners and losers accounted for. The trade presently open in drawdown, wouldn't you have guessed, is EURJPY (again)... continuing to mount the evidence that USDJPY and EURJPY are difficult pairs for scalping with this robot.

murtamad Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 (edited) I couldn't run the 10-pairs strategy with the small RAM available on my VPS, so I'm experimenting trading AUDUSD (cos' Theozaki had good results with this pair) 24 hours on both S1 and S2 with 1.01ee N1, Recovery Off. Probably ill-advised, but I'm just curious to see how it'll do. Hope curiousity doen't kill this cat, not withstanding it's just demo! Anyway, the first 4 trades closed this morning (started last night 7 July): 2010.07.12 07:05 sell 0.08 audusd 0.8762 0.8825 0.8702 2010.07.12 07:55 0.8747 0.00 0.00 0.00 12.00 2010.07.12 06:56 sell 0.08 audusd 0.8758 0.8801 0.8708 2010.07.12 07:49 0.8748 0.00 0.00 0.00 8.00 (Aggressive) 2010.07.12 04:23 buy 0.08 audusd 0.8747 0.8703 0.8807 2010.07.12 07:05 0.8762 0.00 0.00 0.00 12.00 2010.07.12 04:23 buy 0.08 audusd 0.8748 0.8705 0.8798 2010.07.12 06:00 0.8750 0.00 0.00 0.00 1.60 (Aggressive) Open trade: 2010.07.12 07:58 buy 0.08 audusd 0.8741 0.8698 0.8791 0.8745 0.00 0.00 0.00 3.20 (Aggressive) So far so good... but it's strange that S1 had shown a better profit!
