This is very interesting stuff. :thumbsup: Keep it coming!

Will you be providing an automated trading platform or API anytime soon?

Adamus, I look at the daily and H4 time-frames, but my systems trade from 2 & 15 Minutes. As for the EURJPY - My systems are both still short and I'm still long. I'll exit my hedge when: a) Price closes below support/above resistance. or b) One of the systems exits its position.

I only hedge my systems on the odd occasion. Like today on EURJPY my systems were both short, so I entered a long in my SB account (which is looking good so far). My systems are still short EURJPY.

Yes that's me. I have a journal, but haven't bothered posting to it recently - nothing has changed and it would be a bit boring to continue it. Since adding a second strategy based loosely on the first, it's just been a matter of monitoring and doing the monthly resets. I have a full-time job...

For trading purposes you don't need the most expensive 3D triple X rated graphics card. I would recommend you by a mobo with built-in graphics and get one extra graphics card (most mobos only have 1 PCI-e slot). That should be enough to support your 3 monitors. Form factor is only an issue if...

Yes I'm still around. Like you I have two systems running at the moment and they are both profitable. Its just a matter of monitoring them and resetting every month. I also have a discretionary account that I use for hedging against my automated trades, if they are obviously on the wrong...

Hi Adamus, So what's your situation right now? You have one or more automated trading systems running now, right? Are they proving to be profitable? What kind of % profit are you making on a monthly basis? You're now talking about starting discretionary trading on top of the automated...

Most indicators tell you what's already happened not what's going to happen. I would suggest that you start by plotting Support and Resistance on daily charts. With practice these levels will jump out at you as soon as you look at charts. S/R and price with give you a strong foundation for...

Re: Optimising Saviour001 - known unknowns That's exactly why I decided to go with a half automated solution, where I change the parameters every month to match the market characteristics. Otherwise the system is not always going to fit and can only result in excessive drawdown.

Have a look at VMA aka Vidya.

Yes you're right. I skipped to stage of forward testing on a demo account and paid the price. The initial backtest results were good and I was too keen to get it running live. Another lesson learned. :)

I ended 2010 with a small profit, so I'm not too disappointed. However November and December weren't good at all, mainly because I pushed through my second system into production before it was ready, hence some some heavy loses. I think I've ironed out all the bugs now, so roll on 2011...

Last month was my first real loss. It wiped out the gains from the previous month so I'm break-even for the last 2 months :( . I've now finished writing my second strategy, which seems to compliment the first, so I'm confident I'll have a more even equity curve going forward. Let's see how it...
