Where’s the popcorn?
Tommaso, you can't provide us with a popcorn smiley, can you? SHF is attracting lots of new people these days and most of them seem to be illiterate, dull or phony. Or all of it.

Most people have more sense than to ask about it. Only an idiot thinks that backtesting has any value. This post explains why viewtopic.php?p=108983#p108983

Bother me with it again and I will remove your ability to bother anyone.

Just being bored, I followed your link above, and stumbled upon this sentence;

Trust me fella, some of them are drawing up their seats and buying their popcorn in anticipation of my eventual explosion, when I finally speak my mind to you.

Nothing has changed in 4 years...

Yes some tool is needed to minimise the risk of large draw down and to stop margin calls.

I enabled a distant 600pip SL and some of the open trades closed.

This resulted in a loss of 800 pips minus some winners
so the account suffered a net loss of approx -600pips today
but the combined trade size reduced to under 3 lots so I'm very happy about the outcome.

You are right but the high time frames will produce less number of trades
and if I were to maintain the same % of growth
I would have to increase trade size so I would be increasing "single currency risk".

Therefore I prefer to trade the smaller time frames so when I get caught in a bad run ( like I'm in now)
I would have many tiny trades open, spreading my risk over many currencies .

Unfortunately my current demo accounts are not doing well and I'm partially responsible for this because some months back I placed additional manual pending orders and some of those trades triggered so I have bigger DD that I would have had should I had left the account alone.

The DD is now much higher than I would have liked, therefore I consider the accounts blown.

I will open new demo accounts and will resume testing but this time I will remove the 1 minute time frame ( I will trade 5M, 15M, 1H, 4H).

On a positive note, my Awesome demo accounts are handing the trade war situation much better than POS and SPB so I have switched my focus to the Awesome EA and in particular on AW-4 which gives reasonable monthly gain of pips.

Unfortunately I recently enabled a distant SL in this account so some trades closed at a loss and messed up my monthly stats. I shouldn't have done this because the AWE doesn't have as many open trades as POS and it doesn't really need a SL.

Hi every one,
Is it posible to make "SIXTHS SQ_mod1.2" to draw PL and PH without to take spikes in calculation, just like "Peak HiLo indicator" do.?

Hi.

Is that what you want?

a few days ago I enabled

Trade1CloseOnOppositeSignal = true (which caused a small loss -50 visible in the screenshot)

This is because we need to protect the storage that has become bigger and I have taken a little more risk because recently I also doubled the lot to 0.02 for all timeframes.

I am very satisfied with this EA!

I believe it would not be bad if we included a strategy that would act in periods when couples are not very volatile and avoid periods of stagnation.

Cozybooks seems to have found a strategy almost opposite to peaky: << I have another live manual strategy that trades on breaks of the sixth lines that is almost totally opposite from Peaky. >>

Hey Donix,

I have been following your account and I see you have recently added XAUUSD to your list of pairs. Are you running a separate ea to manage XAUUSD only or how have you got it set up currently? Also, has your set file changed since your last post? Your account is looking good.

Thank you

Robyn
