Pekelo, So by this logic you are saying that the market has a memory therefore what happened in the past is relevant to what will happen in the future. Is this what you are saying here?

If you're rolling two die and you roll double sixes 10 times in a row what are the chances that the next roll will be double sixes?

maninmoon, I would say the market I trade on behalves significantly different than spot FX.

Yes these are all intraday.

If you write your own stuff I would say sim-trading may be worth a shot. Back in '04-'05 I had experience with a few different banks allowing one prop firm in particular to sim-trade their FX feeds with the firm's custom software. Of course they knew there was sufficient capital behind them...

BR, thank you for clarifying. I have no clue what systems traders do. That is exactly why I commented on your thread because I do not know what is going on. Just a little hobby of mine, talking about things I don't know about. Anywho, adding different exit criteria is different from...

BR, The idea of a filter is flawed from the get-go. Essentially when people try to implement filters they are attempting to "filter" out bad trades while keeping good trades. Unfortunately it does not work like that. Any "filter" you apply will end up taking out good trades as well and in...

No trading on 4/20?

So you're currently running it with no stop loss in place?
