Hi Petko,

Please see attached screenshot for the calculation of Bitcoin Never lose formula assignment.

Thanks, Nitin

[Anonymous]

Hey Nitin,

I think you did a great job! If you put it in practice, keep in mind that at the current moment, the market is volatile, and the spreads are very high. Usually, if the spread is about $15, I do not use that strategy. Anyway, you get into the formula quickly.

Cheers,

[Anonymous]

Thank you Petko. Right now the spread is around $65 with the broker for Bitcoin so I am personally not trying Bitcoin at this moment.

[Anonymous]

Exactly! Especially with the EAs, it is very hard when the brokers increase the spread, and unfortunatelly we can not do anything about it.

[Anonymous]

nice

[Anonymous]

Just a matter of notice as well , experts for gold on June 2021 are being Label as XAG/USD which is wrong because this its not gold but rather precious metal , shouldn’t be instead XAU/USD for gold ? is there any mistake in the june 2021 update

[Anonymous]

1-Choose a trading broker and open a Demo account to test the Expert Advisors.

Done FXTM demo Account | looking at brokers with various trades instruments (Forex , Crypto , Futures , index) to trade from |FXTM mainly focus on FX only

2-Download the Expert Advisors from lecture 9 and follow the instructions on how to place them on Meta Trader.

Done June 21 EA portfolio , expecting July 21 updates

3-Connect your Demo account with a statistical website (like FX Blue) to follow the results.

Done  used FX blue , quite better than forexfactory.com, FX blue is very useful from an analytical perspective (strategy on strategy) with magic numbers

4-Think of your own rule that you want to follow when selecting the top Expert Advisors.

kept the same rules from training count from 5 trades or above looking at the profit factor equal or above 1.01 but also looking at the numbers of

Win vs Lost trade , I think we should also look for the drawdown percentage  (is it available per magic numbers view ? still looking for it on FX blue )

5-Which is the top one Expert Advisor for you?

on XAG/USD => #57406704 , #57426845

on portfolio GBPJPY M15 => #300003

on portfolio EURJPY M15=> #20001

on portfolio EURGBP M15=> not enough trades yet <5 per experts

Question : on portfolio Expert its easy to remove the entering of new trades from Non performant (according rules in 4) experts in the mql4 code, how to do that from the perspective of single expert ? – I simply  replaced the non performing experts on the charts by the most performing ones.

Automated Forex Trading Course + 99 Expert Advisors

1. Download the Expert Advisors and place them on the MetaTrader platform.

I have downloaded them. I’ve also opened 2 x demo accounts to compare between two brokers I use.

Broker 1: Pepperstone, Leverage
Broker 2: AvaTrade

2. Open 99 different chart windows – 33 for EURUSD, 33 for USDJPY and 33 for EURJPY. All should be on M15 time frame.

I have done so for both brokers on demo.

3. Compile the Expert Advisors and drag each one to a seperate chart and click on OK.

Done on both brokers.

4. Connect your MetaTrader account with FX Blue and follow the results.

I have done so and been following the results every couple of days.

5. Which are the top Expert Advisors that you have selected to use in a seperate account?

After seeing the results from the two brokers on 99, I chose Pepperstone to use for the top 3.

The first time I change was 3 x EURUSD.

Then a USDJPY showed as top 3 from AvaTrade and I have removed the 3 x EURUSD and put USDJPY.

Today USDJPY dropped and EURUSD came up as 3rd. Am now on 3 EURUSD again.

The performances comparing the 99 EAs and Top is attached.

AvaTrade 99 EAs

Pepperstone Demo 99 EAs

Top 3 Demo Pepperstone

Comments are welcome.

[Anonymous]

I like the idea you are backtesting with two different brokers.  The reason the top 3 keep changing is your backtest time is not long enough.  You should backtest for at least 30 days before picking the top EA’s to move to a different account.

[Anonymous]

Thank you Alan. Will wait a bit longer and post an update after.

3. Did you install the EA on the correct chart and correct time frame?

4. How long has it been since you installed the EA?

5. What is the account size?

6. What is the Lot size?

Kind regards,

Hi Course Advisers and Students :-) I’m Aki, Beginner trader and loving the course being offered here!! I’ve learned so much! Thank you!! :-)

Question 1

Which broker did you choose for your trading? Is it legit?
BlackBull Markets is one I’m progressing with for live trading in the near future along with a few others I am in the throws of vetting.

No I didnt but I do intend to do so as can see the wisdom in doing so..

Yes

Question 4

No this part doesn’t seem to be working for me, I have followed the instructions to the “T” turned on Auto trading prior to attaching the EA and all but don’t see any trades opening and closing against my demo account, the back testing usign the strategy tester I did and got really good results after getting the historical data provided here in the course and tools being offered here, I even tweaked the settings to see what kind of results I would get if I changed lot size, TP parameters etc  Am I missing something for autotrading to take place on my demo account.. any suggestions is much appreciated!

Blessings

Hi Aki,

Depending upon which EA you are trying to trade could take from a few minutes to a few days before it will take a trade.  As long as the EA is added to the chart properly you just need to give it more time to place that first trade.

Alan,

I thought that might have been the case but was unsure.. Thanks for the update, much appreciated.

There are no trades opening , i also trialled another ea recently for 2 weeks and no trades were opened with that either , please advise how i can fix this ?

[Anonymous]

I know that Forex.com does not allow trading with EA’s on their demo account but does allow them on their live accounts.  So I have to question if Pepperstone allows EA’s on their demo account.  Check with them to verify they allow EA’s on their demo accounts.

No trade are apen- I get a mesage in the JUORNAL -invester mode [trades are not allowed]

[Anonymous]

Try logging into MetaTrader with the master pw and not the investor pw.

Alan,

[Anonymous]

Do you mean Master Password?

I am using the password that was set when I created the Demo acount

I am not using investor password

 

[Anonymous]

“No trade are apen- I get a mesage in the JUORNAL -invester mode [trades are not allowed]”

The Journal is saying you are in investor mode.  This is why trades are not allowed.  Contact your broker to resolve this issue.  Evidently your broker gave you the investor password and not the master password.

Alan,

Q1 – broker

tastyfx.com (US branched IG.com)

It is legit for US customers.

However, I don’t know whether US customers can use non-US regulated brokers, as those have usually bigger leverages and smaller spreads.  Your advice would be greatly appreciated.

Q2 – demo with the same amount as real will be

yes

Q3 – download EAs

Yes.

However, maybe it would be good to have both EAs and Strategies (pdf / ppt) time stamped, so we know which one is newer in case of discrepancies.

Also, GBPUSD and USDJPY EAs have two entries for SL/TP, where only one is initialized.  I did initialize the other one also, but not sure if I should.

Maybe it would be also beneficial to provide setting files.

Lastly, so far in the course, there was no mention about how to size “Entry Lots” based on account sizes.  Maybe instead of just asking for a number, this field should ask for a multiplicator for every $1,000 in the account.  This way, default value would be working for every account.

Q4 – smiley face

Yes

Q5 – EAs started trading

Yes, I have two EURUSD trades already closed.  The first is for $1.31, the second for $-0.5.  I created $10k demo account, and modified LotSize to 0.01.  Maybe I need to bump it up to 0.1.  I also have a third trade open also EURGBP, but this is down right now at $-15.5.

Would be nice, if you provide some examples for all pairs for one account, so we could adjust it accordingly.

I am super excited to see how it will work!  So far, everything is really smooth.

I have submitted it twice not knowingly as I didn’t see page moving for some time after the first click, and the button was still blue (ready to be submitted).

[Khalid Bhatti]

A 1: IG index MT4. Yes.
