    I GIVE UP

    Dude, I used that before and AMP was like "bitch, you better stop" https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/what-is-this-guy-talking-about-amp.367291/

    I GIVE UP

    Lol I remember. Same shit happened in MT5 and I suggested a timer and you said no. My god, maybe MT5 is not the issue all this time :banghead: How could a simple concept in my head be so hard to program properly. I think the issue is also these devs program in DEMO environment. They don't see...

    I GIVE UP

    I checked the MT5 terminal to see a different view of the trades, and found the issue: Basically the sequnce should be this: buy or sell stop entry set limit target cancel other order set reverse order So the time difference betwen 4 (3+1) contracts entry and the first target hit (just on...

    We use the same AMP's version. I doubt it's that, but yea i need to look a the log and figure it out. But still, I need a damn dev I seriously envy those that can code.

    I GIVE UP

    That's what I'm afraid of. I thought i could jsut let this run for the week and not worry about it. But I do work 9-5 and I just happen to be at home early and checked this. I wish I could trade this manually but I can't becuase of the session and short time frame makes it impossible. QT has...

    I GIVE UP

    Yes, when it gets to 10 micros, it would just transition to emini. I don't scale at all. It's all in and out, but of course market sometimes break those lots out when they execute. It's a simple stop and reverse logic. When price moves fast, the algo should work still. What annoys me is we use...

    Stupid algo fucked up today. I don't even care about the profit cause I just got lucky. I feel like giving up at this point https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/i-give-up.375995/#post-5856852

    I GIVE UP

    I have to retrace every step and try to figure out why the hell it left that long order open. But why would it not work on my platofrm and it does hers? This could've went the wrong way and I would probably break some shit

    I GIVE UP

    I don't understand how a simple fucking algo with simple rules can have intermittent issues. Today I ran my algo as always. I just so happen to check the platfrom on my VPS, for no reason. Maybe it was intuition or some higher power made me check. But anyway, instead of the algo closing out the...

    Index trading course where can I find a good one?

    Forget a course. Just open a chart and use your God given intuition and figure out what the price is doing. Now do that for 3-6 straight months and you will naturally gravitate towards certain patterns that are repeatable. You're actually in a good spot since you're brand new. Keep that biases...

    On unrelated topic, if you are using Quantower, do not use download link that AMP provides. They advertise all features available for AMP customers, which is not true based on the link they provided. If you use the AMP download link, you will see these features: But if you actually just...

    Your post does trigger a thought that I have when talking about risk in general. The way I see risk is not based on individual trades (like how much risk i need to put on a trade). I see risk as a whole from the perspective of risk of ruin (probability of blowing up). Every strategy will have a...

    Well that's a balance chart, not equity. So I'm not averaging down trades, but i do widen my reverse (stop) and target and also adjust the position to recover (not quite martingale, it follows a sequence after few reverses fail). But I do emphasize consistency over the large inconsistent profit...

    Also keep in mind that during my MT5 implementation, I encountered so many issues that forced me to trade manually at certain times. I switched over to QT sometime in May. So the 'jaggedness' is also due to algo errors that I had to deal with.

    Yes, there are some position adjustment rules I built into the algo. My assumption is that when it gets into a range after sometime, it would breaktout eventually. So I have a sequence count as to when it increases that position size to take advantage of that breakout. It happened couple of...
