The Forex Duck v6 con 2 is one hell of a conservative duck. Made me 22 pips in 12 hours so far :lol:
Do I have to use the default settings or change something to get better results?

Conservative? This week I've got 600 pips banked and another 1,800 currently in drawdown.

I'd say that's about as conservative as Jeremy Corbyn!

Then what am I doing wrong? I only turn on the correlation filter, everything else is default.

My 6.2 demo with correlation filter = true has only banked 21 pips so far. Floating loss is standing at around 1,000 pips.

3. There are options softer, as trader689 says. You can use v3 with correlation true or the v6 conservative v2 version. In any case, you can reduce the spread and the number of pairs.

José Luis
Duck v3 allowed currencies or pairs to be excluded from trading but this feature isn't available in v6. Would it be possible to reinstate that facility? I think it could be helpful in managing risk.

So I guess with v6 con 2 the correlation filter needs to be turned off like José said in an earlier post.

Regarding the v5: Banked 665 pips with -200 pips actually floating in the last 24 hours. I could definitely live with that.

Jose,

I have been demoing Forex Duck V6.2 with some success.

However, there are things that I would like to try in order to improve the strategy.

Would it be possible to have the option to input our own TP and BE for each trade?
As I had some trades today (CADJPY) that would have made a lot more pips with a BE of say 25 and a jumping stop (MPTM can be used for that).

Also can I request we have an option to not allow trading on a pair which already has a trade open? I have been experimenting using ALR to recover losing trades and this option would be useful.

Thanks

My half-weekly resumé:

Began using the Forex Duck v5 (correlationfilter=true) around 68 hours ago. Actively running on my PC around 40 hours. Made 1122 pips with no drawdown and a max of around -500 pips floating.

Thanks José!
