I was in a hurry writing my previous as I thought I had a victim coming, but he has changed to Thursday.

There is also this in Bruster's PM:
I've also added back in the single sided complex closure. This is part of the original system, but as before, I've put this on a user bool because I don't know yet whether it gives a benefit. At least now it's working correctly! :yahoo:
The input is AllowSingleSideOffsets. Is this what you were after, Pat?

Curious where this will end.

V 1j is in post 1.

The code-testing craptest froze instantly, going into an endless loop where it was trying and failing to close a trade that no longer existed. I have removed the code that might produce this loop and the craptest is proceeding cheerfully.

It's the leaky toilet. It wiped out a demo where I was trading 0.01 lots per $1,000 as successive partial sl's were hit.

Live, I am just 150 pips DD with no cash concern at all because of my tiny lot sized. There might be a message for us there. :yahoo:

That is probably pretty standard today. The toilet leaked to international standards.

I have just funded a tiny live GP trading account for a much loved former victim - minimum deposit $500 AUS. By a happy chance, the funds did not arrive in time for trading today, as I intended setting RnR loose on it hoping for the best. Had I been able to trade the account today, I am sure it would now have only $400 in it. :oops:

I will let you guys know how this account gets on when I do finally manage to set RnR on it. For sure, the former victim is definitely trading with funds he can afford to lose. :lol:

I did not actually blow that demo I was talking about earlier, but the repeated partial emergency closures had a dramatic effect on the balance - and would have been a sickener had I been a noob depositing $10,000 for the first time.

Leaky toilet markets happen. The art is surviving them. Here is what today has taught me vis a vis RnR:
  • trade only one pair, and a volatile one at that. My recommendation is GJ. I could be wrong.
  • trade a maximum of 0.01 lots per $2,000 of balance
My conclusions may change with experience. We shall see.

I shall be heavily over-trading my former victim's account. It will make rapid progress if I am lucky; it will blow up quickly if not.

In the meantime, the fun craptest I am running at the mo has turned his $500 into $1,221,841,906 and it is less than half way through. I get a bit hazy after 6 digits, but I think this is a billion plus some odd change of a hundred million or two. Not sure this is entirely realistic. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: It is good fun and hey, most billionaires started out with somewhat less.

... from what I can see I think $500 will be a risk ..$2000 just maybe enough. I have the same dilemma because I want to put this on my GP main account but I feel it's safer on cent account for now despite the high spreads.

On the back test scenario.. try starting Jan 2016 with GJ ... unfortunately it paints a less favorable picture than starting 2015 or earlier for some reason... and I don't understand why given the nice strong movement this year?

Gosh. Really. Wow. I never thought of that. Thank you for filling me in.
