Slopey Peaky Bob

Post by MurphyMan »

The only point I was trying to make was that the basket percentage trailing stop thing was working properly for me.

I was only on FxTestify for a short while because I was having a lot of computer problems, now solved. Plus, my wife got a new knee, which cut into my screen time. :uff: It was a demo account, because I do take some manual trades, therefore my live account wasn't eligible for RXTestify.

My live account opened in February and as of today I'm up 71%. I explained some of my manual trading and how I got through the DD here: http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3 ... 30#p163940. I don't think I've taken any manual trades in the last three or four weeks. Next time we go into that nasty DD situation I'm going to try some hedging, as Steve described a few posts up.

Here is what we look like today. The red line is the balance, the yellow line is the equity. Currently trading at $1,500/dollup, so now I'm trading .03 lots. Risky? Yes. :roll:

I know that this forum is about Forex trading but trust me to understand that there is nothing more important than the health of those that we love.

I am really happy that your wife got the new knee that she needed. This is brilliant news. :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :party: :party: :party: :party: :party: :party: :party: :party: :!!: :!!: :!!: :!!: :!!: :!!: :!!: :!!: :!!: :!!: :!!: :!!: :!!:

Hi All.

Just wanted to chime in with some positive results with SPB, currently my EA of choice

I have been running SPB, version 1T along with the previous versions since early june 2018.

I must say this the best "set and forget" EA I have ever used. I have been running on live a/c and demo so the results listed below mirror pretty much my live a/c except I have been adding cash to my live a/c to get the threshold up to at least 4G to alleviate margin issues (due to number of trades open) as opposed to drawdown.

I have not interfered with this demo a/c at all and continues unabated. Started with a $3000 balance.

As the chart shows very little drawdown and the weekly % gain, as listed, gives a good indication of steady progress.

The only change I made was modify s/slope to 1.5 and peaky to 30 min,trading all pairs, that's it.

I have just increased lot size on this ac to .02 up from .01 to see what affect it has going forward. Just really appreciate the steady progress it has made and love the fact that on most weekends all trades are closed and we start from square one at the beginning of the new week.

Thanks to all for creating a little GEM, its a YES from me.

Cheers

Andrew

Why bother posting when all you are is one of the lazy leeches? It is not as though contributing to the project is difficult. You are supposed to be someone that less experienced members are able to look up to, so how about stepping up and delivering on that mantle. Or are you merely a leech and I can remove your valued status from you?

I am unimpressed.

Will look at FXtestify and work with that in future, rather than post results here.
