What's the pattern?

Interesting

The effects of sharing a system is minimal, if anything. You think those big guys are looking on some retail forum to see what retail is up to? They coundn't care less. Retail counts for about 5% of trading volume in the forex market. Also, so what ...

I see. I used EMAs instead of MAs. Fixed it and now I see. Thanks

Here on EURUSD, I see this as a good long setup.

Just doing some backtesting and seen these two potentially epic setups on gold

Glad I found this thread. Reminds me of a system I used to little success. However, with this new knowledge, I'll definitely be revisiting it.

Fair enough. I see what you're saying.

Ah. From what I know, they get it from their respective liquidity providers and provide the best bid and ask prices from a group of providers.. correct?

Well the data is imported directly from the broker themselves, so for EA testing it's much more accurate because it simulates the exact spreads and it's changes throughout the day, swaps, commissions, and even slippage. I trusted it enough to go ...

Interesting concept. No one has made an EA for this yet I see, so I guess I will.
- HimmerJimmer replied Nov 22, 2021
These ideas seem to be far beyond simple MT5 level backtests and such. I thought MT5 tick data was enough but now I'm not so sure. Seems to be the best accurate fit for testing EAs but once again this project seems beyond that.

Not bad. Pretty good and consistent. Running on multiple pairs and tested on tick data shows good results. I'll be forward testing from here

I've done so and it is promising. I'll continue to trade it my way and you continue your way and we'll be profitable in our own way going forward.

Well, we will just disagree here.

Let me say this: I'm not against EA trading. I think it, when done right, can produce good returns. The issue I have with it is that when there's a good, profitable manual trading strategy someone makes and people make an EA of it. Then the EA ...

Well, fair enough. But impulsive thinking can be trained out of a trader. A robot does what you set it to do but in some cases a deviation may be necessary. You may be able to get a very high win rate bot sure. But you can also learn to execute ...

Not trying to provoke anyone. Just stating that in cases such as this, it's more lucrative to trade manually than to try to automate a strategy
- HimmerJimmer replied Aug 12, 2021
Got baited. I'll pass
- HimmerJimmer replied Aug 12, 2021
Because manual trading has a lot more flexibility. Not every strategy is 1 or 0. I can make judgement calls based on factors like news results and session timing based on the previous session's activity or I can form ideas based on my experience ...
