I am regretting putting up my trading performance at the start of the month. No sooner did I publish it than I went into a big drawdown. I tried some trades later in the month though they turned out to be losers as well so I took a break from trading and had a fairly [...]

Years ago when I first got started with trading I did what everyone does which is experiment with lots of indicators, sometimes they give what appear to be good signals, most of the time they’re not really anything to write home about.
I think I may have found a use for them, by using an overbought/oversold [...]

No sooner did I put up my trading performance for the last couple of months than I managed to wipe out last months gains!
My latest thoughts about filters are to only trade when both sides of the trade are at extremes (one is overbought, one is oversold, that way they should come together a bit [...]

I have a strategy which I’ve been trading/testing for a while now with pretty good results (still needs some fine tuning). I’ve been trading that strategy and only that one (I don’t have a lot of time for trading). I’ve been thinking recently damn I wish I went short on the AUD, GBP and EUR [...]

OK, so you think you’ve got a great strategy and it works great, you’re raking in the cash and life is looking up. Then something big happens and you go into a big drawdown waiting for the mean reversion.

I’m worried that my EA won’t be approved for this years Automated Trading Championships.
I was told that multi currency EA’s would be manually approved after registration closed. After registration closed I received an email stating that my EA had errors (zero division error). I sent them an email telling them the only reason this would [...]

If you’ve read some of my recent posts you’ll know that I’ve been rushing to get an entry in to the ATC 2008.
Well, the time has almost come and I’ve decided to enter my multi currency EA which has been around for a little while now, it isn’t perfect (far from it) and needs to [...]

I’ve been testing (very small amounts of live money) a strategy that seemed to be basically foolproof. Today I realised it isn’t!
It’s a mean reversion based strategy which is mean reverting, though unfortunately there is some creep in it which changes the status of the mean reversion without the position coming good.
I was trading it [...]

I’m currently rushing to get an EA (Expert Advisor) finished for this years automated trading championships.
In my live trading I’m using/testing a strategy which appears to be producing very nice profits. I was hoping to enter an EA based around it, however it appears the less flexible lot sizing makes it substantially less profitable than [...]
