Peaky on Steroids

Post by **SteveHopwood** » Sun Aug 06, 2017 5:07 pm

Here are my live, M1 4pip TP trades from last week:

---------------------------------------

I have written about how each cycle will conclude eventually, but that 'eventually' might take a while. Look at these:

That first trade was a filled stop order when the market broke out of the trading zone from a peak low, then sank back again. The subsequent three I set when the market formed a new peak low and were managed downwards if the market continued to fall.

There was a big push upwards last week, and the trades were nicely brought home by NFP.

It all took a while - the initial trade was right at the end of May. Happily, the swap was positive.

Combined, the four trades added just shy of 1% to the account balance, but took a lot of patience.

Correction of my previous post: I raised my TP from 4 to 5 pips. Watching 3 trades going in profit of over 4 pips and then , horror!, seeing them reverse just short of 5 pips. ALL three of them. This must be a warning from the FX-Gods. So back to 4 pips TP to ease my mind.
Secondly, I removed EURNZD and USDJPY as their combined 13 trades brought only 1.3% of the total profit, and thus preventing the more profitable pairs from opening orders.
Let's see what happens. Follow the progress with my login & pw in my previous post.
Cheers,

Hi Steve and everybody...i am demoing peaky on steroids for some time with no problem at all and want to try it on nano real account and get this issue.

In the info panel there is some problem with SWAPs, every swap is shown as ZERO, every possible trade is shown only LONG.

If i try to change trade only positive swaps to false no change at all.

Any help for me? Thanks

Most probably due to the lack of historical data with newly opened Empty4 platforms...

over what period? could they have been more profitable in a different month or week? maybe?

I have a limit of 3 open trades max. , so every low-profit pair trade could be possibly preventing a trade from the higher profitable pairs to open. Not sure what the results will be, but worth a try in my opinion;

The M1-4pips setting seems to work also in ranging markets !

It works beautifully in a ranging market where we can get the same trade several times.
