I ended the week with +$1600 on just over 8,000 closed trades.
What I’ve started to notice is that even though strategies begin trades at different times and on different days, when they all close at the same time, due to having all the same exit criteria or if the market moves heavily within a pair, strategies begin to open trades at the same time.
So, rather than a single strategy opening 0.01 lots on different days and times, the same strategy will begin opening trades simultaneously across Portfolio EAs and across various accounts, effectively having many 0.01 lots opening simultaneously for a pair. This creates more significant swings than I would like. To try and smooth this back out, I will utilize the New Filter and add random times to each chart, creating windows when the specific chart can open trades.
We’ll see how next week goes. Hopefully, you don’t mind me using this thread as a personal journal… Your thoughts, comments, questions, suggestions, and concerns are all appreciated, as I’ll use these to keep refining the strategy.
