Finally out of the mess...

Well, finally managed to pull money out of FXINDIA. Was it a good broker? Well, they payed. (Perhaps because we didn't make noise on their forums, who knows). Did they do everything against us? Well, after the tricky swap charge they saw we are more stubborn than anticipated and decided to get rid of us and almost banned logins. Thanks to Matt we managed an awesome rate of about 170%... But again, trading on the edge, with more than MT4. The natural exploit of difference in volatility between fo

Trading the Time (part 3)

I just got in my inbox today a nice article about charting the equivolumes, that was published by MQ in their MT4 site. Please click on it. This article is prefacing somehow my next topic, that I wanted to discuss long time ago, about trading the time, part 3. I had no time to finish my posting, so I will post a "part 3" now, just to mention it, and in the future I hope I will find enough free time to post a next episode about charting techniques. That would be renamed to "part 4" or else   The

To Trade or Not To Trade the Time (part 2)

By the way, happy pillaging for 2008!   Well, when talking about the time, there are mainly three schools. Some traders would say that the time is very important. They use candlesticks or bars charts, volumes, money flow index and other tools like that. This category of traders is the largest, and they use manly the price action on their trades, but they consider the time into the equation too. In fact, they use the time "partially". All these methods of charting that I enumerated above are in f

Paper Trading

How many of ye' did paper trading? I mean to take a chart, print it, take a pencil, draw lines, make calculus, place trades, write them in the records... Then later on, print the continuation of the chart, compute profit/loss, see what went right/wrong? And write again the reflections in the diary... Not so many of ye', for sure. Some of ye' would say, c'mon! what the scuppering, we want easy money... Well, me' have bad news for ye'... if ye' never did paper trading, ye'll lose that easy money o

To Trade or Not To Trade the Time (part 1)

Well, since I am participating in some "Automatic Trading Contest" I've learned a lot of things about trading the time. Before I was sticking to my brokers, and never went to others, but the contest opportunity forced me to trade other broker's quotations, showing me at least few strange things. This blog entry is not targeting the scalper, momentum trader, nor the investor, but the medium range trader, like a swing trader, or one that intensively use indicators like Stochastic or RSI, on H4 or

BcLib update - New powerful trading functions

This BcLib issue adds new trading functions: - ReliableModifyTakeProfit() and ReliableModifyStopLoss(), which attempt to place and repair the TP and SL levels , by moving them up or down (take profit, for buys and sells) , down or up (stop loss, for buys and sells) in order to avoid ERR_INVALID_STOPS, which is the only error handled by these functions. The fast functions ModifyTakeProfit() and ModifyStopLoss(), older, simply attempt to do this once without handling any error. - ReliableOrderPlac

BcLib update

Updates list: - Updated code for ReliableOrderSend(), ReliableOrderClose() as I wrote earlier in this blog; - Modified fast Order_**** functions to lookup history , after checking current trades ; added function Order_Pool to retrieve the place of an order: MODE_TRADES, MODE_HISTORY, or -1; - Replaced calls to ObjectsRedraw() with calls to WindowRedraw(). The RealTickValue() function remains in place as a proxy for getting tick values, although MetaQuotes corrected the MODE_TICKVALUE bug since b

Finally found the basis glitch

Since I'm using this strategy, I observe that sometimes the account stays a lot constant, then jumps suddenly. Finally found the catch. Here is also my account status for november 8:   http://img258.imageshack.us/img258/9493/marketineficienciesej2.jpg   As you can see in the first red circle, before Globex shut down hour on Nov 7 , the discounted USDJPY futures was under USDJPY value. During this time, USDJPY moved down. Once the Globex started up, the discounted futures had to come towards USDJ

Forex Quasi-arbitrage Hedge System (nice Sci-Fi story to read)

I thought about this system several months ago. I wasn't able to find a suitable implementation, because I tweaked it to the point I completely screw it up, so I'll put it the way I initially thought it.   Trader's Fallacy: Hey, I can follow that trend and make cash like a pro!   Traders love charts. Perhaps our reason for entering stock , forex or other markets was watching trending markets and simple indicators. The simplest indicator that someone gets in touch with when entering forex or stoc

Drawing the line : First trading month

Well, a yield of 41% surely beats the hell of the Barclay's Hedge Fund Index   http://img222.imageshack.us/img222/4685/tradereportoct26ou2.jpg   This result was at a DiscountedBasis value of about 2 points. I have to mention that starting from morning of Oct 25, right after Globex respawn, the DiscountedBasis indicator, which was working at -5...-3 for about two weeks jumped around 0 and is averagely positive, meaning that the 6J future (direct quote) is slightly underpriced, compared with last

Quiet Scalping

Here is an implementation for a scalping strategy for a quiet market. The strategy was posted by adraz on vamist.com, and as he said, it is not his original one, he got the description from the web, he tested it and it seems to work. After few discussions, he also posted the original (English) material here. As the copy/paste is from a 2-columns PDF file, it could be some mixed texts, but you can get the right point.   My friend ener made a first implementation, which I modified to use fixed lo

Trading report for Oct 17, 2007

You're right Andi, I have kinda forgot posting results...   http://img81.imageshack.us/img81/7180/tradestatus1710xf6.jpg   After a jump last week from around $150 - $250 now it's consolidating in $300 - $350 area. The time it happened the DiscountedBasis indicator jumped over 0 ; generally it's negative (-1 to -7, average -3 to -5), except for the unhedged hour when Globex is shut down.

BcLib further corrections needed

It seems when I inserted the MaxPasses parameter in ReliableOrderSend and ReliableOrderClose they became really broken. Last correction solves the issue, however there is still a bug:   Examining the corrected codes of the functions: copy from here and replace in BcLib.mq4!   int ReliableOrderSend(string symbol,int cmd,double volume,double price,int slippage,double stoploss,double takeprofit, string comment="",int magic=0,datetime expiration=0,color arrow_color=CLR_NONE,int MaxPasses=0) {

BcLib (and many others) update... discoveries, bugs and mistakes

Last week our fellow TradeLover from the forum (who is also a contestant in MetaQuotes Automated Trading Championship 2007 - let's give him an for that) made a shocking and very disturbing discovery: a tick is not quite a pip in forex (we even argued for that, but he was right - never take anything for granted)   Running a simple script like this:   int start() { Print("tick size= ",MarketInfo(Symbol(),MODE_TICKSIZE), " - tick value= ",MarketInfo(Symbol(),MODE_TICKVALUE)); return(0); }   what

UK Aug CPI Falls To Lowest Annual Rate For 30 Mos

LONDON (Dow Jones)--U.K. consumer price inflation fell to its lowest annual rate for thirty months in August, casting further doubt on the need for any more interest rate hikes from the Bank of England this autumn.   The Office for National Statistics said Tuesday that annual CPI inflation was 1.8% in August, down from 1.9% in July.   The rate was also just below the 1.9% level expected by economists surveyed by Dow Jones Newswires last week.   On the month, the consumer price index was

New kids on the block: Currency Futures, Islamic Banking and Spot-to-Futures Arbitrage

As I promised to my readers, I am returning with an article about the "new" currency futures contracts introduced by the non-NFA regulated brokers. Together with arbitrageable commodities, currency futures prove to be some of the most valuable contracts to be found in a broker's datafeed.   1. Basics of Currency Futures ======================   Currency futures are the standardized, transferrable version of currency forwards. Currency forward contracts lock in the price at which an entity can bu

Eurozone Trade Surplus Narrows In July

LONDON (Dow Jones)--The euro zone's trade surplus with the rest of the world narrowed in July from June, but export growth remained strong despite the strength of the region's currency. The 13 countries that share the euro recorded a surplus of EUR4.6 billion in trade in goods with the rest of the world in July, the European statistics agency Eurostat said Monday, narrower than the figure reported in June, but well ahead of the EUR1.1 billion surplus recorded a year earlier.
