Trade closing day update: London 12:00

Oanda open day 17, ootb, 26 pairs.
6 hit TP = +491 pips, other 20 pairs closed with -198
Result: +293 :clap:

GP open day 17(3 days later than Oanda) ootb, 21 pairs.
6 hit TP = +443 pips, other 15 pairs with -220
Result: +223 :clap:

Edit:
Oanda results skewed slightly, just looking throught the trade history only 23 pairs traded but with 3 symbols traded twice, I think the reason was stupid user error :oops: the account is only on a home PC and I must have closed it after launching the trades and much later the same day booted it up and 3 trades had already closed at TP and it looks like the EA entered those again for about 70 pips gain.

2. Trade day 15, TP 33%

I ended the month with around -380 pips

Here are my trades for June - open on day 7 and 15. Result for the month: +428 pips. The difference between banked pips and drawdown stretched to over +1000 at one time. The markets started to move against me during my day 20 close day but well before my chosen trade close hour, so I closed the position manually rather than risk all my profit disappearing. I shall close the position with a self-satisfied smirk the next time it reaches +1000.

Attached is 'OAM trades analysis.odt' (will open in Microsoft Office for those of you demented enough to use a M product when there is a free alternative).

Not sure how useful the doc will prove but I wanted to look at all the trades that OAM opened, so I adopted this methodology:
  • open an MN1 chart for each pair traded, and note the finishing direction of the chart and any interesting looking characteristic. Draw a vertical line on the candle to show where it started when dropping down to lower time frames.
  • drop down to the W1 chart and note any interesting features.
  • drop down to the D1 chart and pull the trades onto it from the History tab, noting what happened to them and what might have happened to those I closed manually on day 20.
I have yet to draw any conclusions from all this and will have to read it several times whilst looking at the charts again before I do. Maybe there are not any conclusions to be drawn. Perhaps there are fabulous insights to be drawn. Maybe someone can do a better job with the stats than me. We shall see.

Hi

I ran the OAM simulator again to look at the results for June. (ICMarkets ECN demo)

All I changed was the DayOfMonthStart from 2-20. Otherwise it was ootb

Results attached.

interesting... are they average figures over many months including june... or just for june?

my june demo day 16 (ootb, except start hour) was much worse than your +932 simulator... I got -634 (negative)

Hi Padnoter

No the results are not averaged. I just ran the simulator (ootb) and recorded the pips for June only.

I started my June DEMO on day 11 and ended with -584 pips.
All times are UTC Page 9 of 18
