Hotch's 25 pips a day

[arabianights]

I have never come across them before Hotch so I dunno if they actually are dodgy, I'm just using common sense and a couple of minutes of research

(They exist and are regulated by BaFin so aren't totally illicit or anything)

Edit: Whoops, just missed it, what's ej exaggerating? Spill the lulz!

 

[Hotch]

...Mr. Dante, originator of pin bars, man of large genitalia (according to elitejets), and all around decent chap...

Keep up!

i read somewhere a while back that its not unusual for retail indicators to be calculated 'wrong' or 'eccentric' to add that bit more excitement to retail trading.

 

[oiltanker]

was she being ironic?

You'd be surprised how many brokers have a miscalculated RSI with their chart indicators.

Keep up!

hahaha well I can't blame that on ej

I was being awfully diplomatic in reporting what she said

 

[Hotch]

You? Diplomatic? That's a first!

 

[Hotch]

4th atm. Done for til next update, might try to pay spread to get std dev down a bit, haven't yet though (bit over where I want to be).

 

[Hotch]

As expected, still 4th. Done for today too. By request, just this week as a statement.

 

[Hotch]

made the extra $6 to get as close as I can to average, all together now:

OCD OCD OCD OCD OCD OCD OCD OCD OCD OCD OCD OCD

 

[wackypete2]

Looking good! Keep it up.
You might persuade me to try one of these things, but I'd probably punt my way to zero in 3 trades or less. Might as well go for broke as long its it's demo money!

This one is more about the consistency than going for the big gains. The top 4 are all on a similar plan I guess. Getting around 1% or a bit over every day. If you can keep it up until the end, you're in with a great chance of winning, Hotch.

What's the easiest way to export that data Hotch (and to display the equity curve)?

 

[Hotch]

Indeed Shakone, I think I probably should of gone for 2%, would of been doing much better if I had realised that they were releasing the updates as soon as they did it earlier, as would have nigh on 0 std dev, guess everyone else is in the same position.

Which data?

if it's the statements try:

I made an EA the other night, it's about 10 lines long. It's poorly written and poorly thought out. It's only on Eur/Usd as I've been too lazy to look at other pairs so far.

If Eur/Usd hits 1.326 I'll be long, (60 pip target, 20 pip stop), it's nothing to do with the competition, just don't want to clutter things up.

EDIT: would of been stopped out, but apparently my laptop restarted or I made a boo boo, so it wasn't taken.

 

[Shakone]

Thanks Hotch. I was hoping there was just a simple way to export the data direct from the Varengold Fox.

 

[Hotch]

cntrl c cntrl v on the statement? Can export as csv on myfxbook.

 

[Hotch]

done. Also got a short on eur/usd from the EA at 1.32997 I think (20 pip stop, 60 pip target).

 

[elitejets]

Read the first couple of pages, saw my name, got upset.
Read posts 21 / 22 and laughed like a drain. If Arabianights said it, it must be true, right?

Well done on the competition Hotchie and all the other T2w's in it. Lets have a t2w 1-2-3

 

[Hotch]

popped up to third, and done for today.

EDIT: Oh, and the EA has had a winner today so that's 1 for 2.

 

[Hotch]

Hit target, got a short on the EA.

Pft, got stopped.
