What is the average holding period?

What kind of annual ROI do you expect now? And do you continuously compound your profits? (Risk a % of account per trade, rather than a set number of lots/contracts).

Wow. Do you use the same strategies for every stock/index/Fx pair? (Not sure what you trade). Or do you get more specific for each thing you trade? Do you use backtesting? Do you think it's possible to try a strategy in the present and judge it based on just a few days/weeks/months? Do you...

Did you decide on just one algorithm? Or do you have multiple? Do you prefer mean reversion or trend following?

What was your main source of knowledge for improving your strategy? Was it trial and error all the way? Or did you consult with others for more rapid improvement?

How convenient that that's my current broker!

If I'm going 100% algorithmic, the main difference I see between Forex and stock indices is that the indices always trend up over time, whereas the Forex pairs can be more cyclical.

External investors?! Wow. Do you need any sort of license for that? I'm gonna guess that you do.

They do give a general rationale. Sometimes quite specific. They just won't give enough so that I could reproduce their code if I knew how. I never buy anything that uses Martingale. For me, it's 100% automated or nothing due to my lifestyle.

Is there a way to buy/purchase more backtest Forex data? Through MT4, all the brokers I've seen only go back about 5 months on M5 data. I'd like decades if possible.

Thanks.

That's constructive! Am I able to read this for free? I'm about to take off on a flight and would love some reading material to pass the time. I had already almost decided on mean reversion, and I'm looking mostly at currency pairs right now because I believe they are most appropriate for...

Thanks for the constructive input. Do you not understand the logic of starting at basics and going from there?

I'm starting simple on my first Expert Adviser strategy. If the price of a certain currency pair has gone up over the past 3 weeks, then I will buy. If down, I will sell. I will set the SL and TP at equal distances and based on the ATR. This will be a daily candle. I intend to modify this...

Damn. You can't even sit on it.

I can imagine him underwater for 30 minutes thinking... "So this is my new life on the run"

Kind of reminds me of something you'd see in a James Bond film.... Until I heard the scooter only goes 4mph. Then it's just kind of comical. I can picture him emerging gasping for air... The cops are laughing like "did you really think that would work"

Wow didn't realize it would cost $800/year.

Do you not use AutoTrading? If so, do you know the type of coding language it is? Do you know where I can find that platform? I just downloaded the 64bit platform from Multicharts.
