Added topic Forex.com screws EA traders (allegedly)
Ive been a client with this broker for some time and pretty happy.. until now. They decided to replace 'instant' orders with 'market' orders.. whats the difference you ask? Well an instant order allows you to preset all of your order parameters

Added topic Control Points backtesting model
The drop-down menu in the tester terminal describes the control points model as "a very crude method based on the nearest less timeframe". What exactly does that entail? How does it work? Comparing results via the 'every tik' model and

Added topic "Is this profit worth this drawdown?"
Looking at some optimization results , I asked myself the question: Is this profit worth this drawdown? Placing the results into a spreadsheet I figured a simple ratio of drawdown (in cash) to cash profit would more meaningfully describe which result

Added topic What is your personal drawdown tolerance?
Just wanted to get an idea of what others consider to be an unacceptable drawdown. To me, when I look at a testing result, anything above ~20% is a deal breaker, however, losing even 20% of your account, I would imagine, would be psychologically

How many of you manually intervene with your robots? Clearly there are some limitations to a strict set of trading rules.. I have a very good system that I use on a live account but there have been times when I looked at a chart and knew that the

Added topic MT4 Optimization: Stepping Parameters Simultaneously
Can I have multiple parameters stepped simultaneously during optimization? For instance, if I check the optimization box for 'ParamA' (start=0;step=1;end=5) and also for 'ParamB' (start=0;step=1;end=5), its going to do a run for [ParamA=0, ParamB=0]
