Hi everyone, As you all know January was a very bad month, same here. The start of the month before all the Interest rates cuts by Fed, was extreamly pleasing, However, very large changes in the market brought my account down to its knees before I could stop it. As many of you know...

Checked it out they are having some technical problem that they are already working on that is causing entery orders not to be canceled. basicly double exposure when the entery open. both fx-auto and fxcm are aware of this it seems.

I Have been Asked to post my portfolio and leverage as it is at the moment so see attached (please note current balance is 4458.38$, so leverage has decreased since opening)

Well I saw one system I was impressed by on FXDD side that, is not on FXCM side http://fxdd.fx-performance.com/Default.aspx?p=1&t=1&paging=1:0:0&sorting=2:1&filter=FX-Trader-FX001 trading Eurusd, they seem to be more picky on entery times, so have only a few trades. But still impressive.

If I understand correctly your excel file your basicly applying Fix ratio at the end of each month. For every 1k gained per system that month you add 10k trade size(40k/trade)?

I made a major mistake, I had the file dating backwards on the excel file So: Peak point: 12/10/2007 16:05 5852.75USD Low Point: 6/1/2007 19:27 1302.04USD MaxDD: -748.8USD final Balance at end of year: 5772.15USD Really having a bad day with my math. so ill stop doing it now. Making...

You are correct, I have ran my testing for you. According to last year these systems do work well peak point, 6/29/2007 5:39:05 AM (if you started at April 15th 2007) was 17325.99USD, With end of year of 8636.40USD. Also noted that Combained during 2007, MaxDD I found was: -3421.367...

Already did, took a reading into it and answered you at "Given up" thread.

Hey I noticed you discussed your leverage of your portfolio, however its not the leverage in your case I would be worried about. Beginning Balance: $2,000 MAXDD: EURJPY -1314 EURUSD -612 GBPUSD -1135 personally I would pull up an excel file of all past trades from April 15, 2007. For...

No doubt that I will need to learn much more into forex, But then again, there are people with more notches under their belt. Beside, FX-Auto wasn't designed for full time traders who monitor them market 24/5. Frankly I do not belive there is a single person that can stay wake that long...

Most of the work, no doubt is based on the system providers, but to me is the most important is to pick the right one, I have worked on my final portfolio for about 4 months and studied about Fx-Auto performance from before they joined forces with Fxcm. which was around april 15th according to...
