    Is back-testing EA's fair enough?

    If You're asking me then it doesn't matter. The whole point of the systems I mentioned was *not* to have any trading logic. The only thing those 'experts' do is knowing the past and knowing the exact entry and exit points where trades were good. If You know the past You can create a perfectly...

    Is back-testing EA's fair enough?

    Recently I found 2 robots that were extremely curve fitted (unfortunately I don't remember the names). They used the most extreme method: when backtesting they used a custom data file with the exact times when to open and close trades :) They were quite profitable in backtest but had no real...

    Wall Street Brokers withdrawal problem

    Compensation Hello, I have to share some good news. As I already wrote earlier I received my money. Recently I was contacted by a WSB representative in email. She asked me for what kind of compensation would I accept as their apology. We agreed that I'll receive USD 250 on my trading...

    Is back-testing EA's fair enough?

    It seems that You do not trust EAs. I have seen many kind of 'holy Grails' too but I believe that good EAs can be developed. I like the above mentioned order. There are brokers which provide cent-based accounts, it might be a better choice than nano-lots.

    Wall Street Brokers withdrawal problem

    Hi! Thanks for the info. I doubt too that they did use an UK bank, however I did deposit through MoneyBookers which is UK based. I read that forum post and did contact Hellenic Bank last week but got no reply :( I'll try the CYSEC way. I'll keep You updated. MikKi

    Wall Street Brokers withdrawal problem

    I had a chat with them in incognito. Here is the transcript. I was using the name Frank Brown. I found out that they might store funds in UK or in Cyprus but couldn't get it exactly. I don't understand many of the support's answers. Do You? It seems weird to me. ----- Nick: Welcome to Wall...

    Wall Street Brokers withdrawal problem

    Exactly. It was deducted from the trading account but not yet sent to me. And they admit this which is good but still I can't spend the promises in the shop :) I'm digging into the details more...

    Wall Street Brokers withdrawal problem

    Thanks for the tip, I'll try. Actually I lost all my remaining money on that account due to my fault (pshychology?) so all I have is the pending withdrawal which is USD 2000. It is not on my trading account nor it is anywhere else I can see.

    Wall Street Brokers withdrawal problem

    I did my deposits using MoneyBookers. Unfortunately they won't complete withdrawals using e-currencies only bank wire. My previous withdrawals were sent from Hellenic Bank (Greece) if I'm not mistaken. I already wrote them an email asking about Wall Street Brokers but got no reply. If You can...

    Automated Trading

    Yeah, I know this and I did know it. It was just hard to find the real and possible DD info. Actually the possible DD (stoploss level) is not indicated anywhere. If You're lucky You can find it in the textual description. Getting wiser and wiser... Now I'm using only strategies that have...

    Automated Trading

    Tradency Hi all, I would like to share some experiences I have with Tradency. There are quite a few strategies and many of them are profitable. However, You have to be very cautious when choosing strategies for Your portfolio. I was using 5-7 strategies for 3 months with a profit rate of...

    Is back-testing EA's fair enough?

    Just to be a little more precise: bactesting calculates commissions if You run the backtest with an active account which has commissions. At least it does for me. Also, backtesting includes swap fees too, however, it will not be explicitly present in the statement (it's just included int the...
