waldorfxt Posted October 5, 2010 Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 Found this in the code above, looks like it uses eurusd, euraud and audusd , there is no mention of eurgbp or gbpusd in the mq4. Either they have a new version that uses different symbols or there advertising is misleading. string gs_eurusd_144 = "EURUSD"; string gs_euraud_152 = "EURAUD"; string gs_audusd_160 = "AUDUSD"; string l_symbol_96 = gs_eurusd_144; string l_symbol_104 = gs_euraud_152; string l_symbol_112 = gs_audusd_160; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waldorfxt Posted October 5, 2010 Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 have had a quick play with the code and have made it so you can change the 3 currency inputs it looks for, give it a test and see if it works http://www.mirrorcreator.com/files/1RWAWPGS/TRIANGULAR_PRICE_CORRECTION_mod.mq4_links cheshire 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manganate Posted October 5, 2010 Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 You will need a very fast connection, zero slippage and near-zero spreads to profit from arbitrage. Quote When mind lingers in one place efficiency is lost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conglo Posted October 6, 2010 Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 The code is full of bugs and errors, forget it. The principle of triangular trading sounds good in principle but does not work in reality. While three symmetrical pairs will maintain a certain type of balanced relationship, in reality each pair can move a great deal the others. A simple analogy would be while 3+3+3 = 9, 1+3+5 = 9, 4+4+1=9. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

⭐ musketeer Posted October 6, 2010 Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 to backtest multi currencies it needs *very* special techniques... and they are absence here so, forget about BT and trading arbitrage - it is possible even w/o super-duper fast connection and zero slippage and zero spreads... ... my 2 cents Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manganate Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 (edited) to backtest multi currencies it needs *very* special techniques... and they are absence here so, forget about BT and trading arbitrage - it is possible even w/o super-duper fast connection and zero slippage and zero spreads... ... my 2 cents Good luck if you can do it; but there is still leg risk. Also: Triangular arbitrage opportunities do not happen very often and when they do, they only last for a matter of seconds. Traders that take advantage of this type of arbitrage opportunity usually have advanced computer equipment and/or programs to automate the process. In today’s Forex market, the chances for triangle arbitrage are getting rare. Even if there is one, it last only for seconds. Thus for profiting from triangular arbitrage traders need advanced trading systems, programmed for automated trading. Taxes and fees may also reduce the profit.

Both times the account was blown. Feel free to do another medium term test and prove me wrong however.
