It really pumps me up that the FPA pretty much bends over backwards to help forex traders caught in a scam. It shows selflessness and sprit de corps. Glad to be here.

I transferred this article verbatim into an EA and it doubled the account on Strategy Tester (5 min chart). I think if I tweak the stoploss/takeprofit logic it could make even more. Check it out... http://www.investopedia.com/articles/forex/08/CCI.asp

Soldiers, unfortunately my love affair with the Double Crossover is coming to an imminent end. It's losing quite a bit in demo mode, I'm missing out on alot of sweet trades, and above all I just don't like, it doesn't feel right. I'm currently working on an alternative, let's see how that goes...

Good point. What if I figure out the average price range for the last X candles on the 1 hour chart. I guess this could give me an idea of what a typical candle would be for the current market. If the "channel" candle is X% larger or smaller than what the average candle is then adjust the...

Congratulations aparsai for your success!!!!

I've been doing some research for alternative systems and I would like you guys and gals to let me know if this makes sense and if you think its a good idea. The Breakout System. I saw it somewhere on the net and it made a bunch of sense to me. Please let me know. 1. Obtain high and low for...

I'm probably gonna demo trade it for a little while longer. I'm sure there is more debugging in the horizon. I'll be careful not to over-optimize it though.

This was the latest trade. I should've been whipsawed but something is going with the logic I'm using. Hmmmm. Nice trade nonetheless.

HOOAH!!! Eastover, NC

First trade of the system. I had to manually exit the position because I forgot to code the Stochastic 20 and 80 thresholds. It's ok though. I THINK I have all the bugs worked out. I'm sure something else will pop up 3-4 posts from now.

Mental note: Do not use OR logic to evaluate more than two operands. You might open more positions than intended. Use XOR (exclusive OR) instead. It's funny 'cause MQL4 nor C have a logical XOR, only a bitwise XOR (^). So I had to change this... if (OpenOrderCondition1 || OpenOrderCondition2...

Hey fellow soldiers. Well here is the EA system this journal will be following. It will be trading on the 5 minute EUR/USD chart using Metatrader 4. * Stochastic-MACD Double Crossover - Entry o Long: Bullish Stochastic and MACD crossover within last 4 candles with...

I am a huge advocate for the use of Expert Advisors. But like Pharoah pointed out, it is a beast that can easily betray you. For example, using the current candle to make trading decisions could exhaust your entire account in minutes or even seconds. Lesson learned: always use closed candles...
