If this issue could become a real problem I wonder if it would be worthwhile to stop the Beta, insert the new code and restart. Otherwise I imagine you would want to do some more Beta testing if you insert it at the end of our Beta test. Also there may be some other changes that you want to do and it could all be done on the restarted Beta. I don't mind the delay if it would help the cause.
I have .12 on each of the 3 trades = .36
Cheers,
Rod
I completely understand your view, and a part of me wants to do that exactly.
But the thing is, that perhaps this "problem" will solve itself (ie. I have a few pending buy stop orders (due certain reversal signals the EA detected) which you cant see as those are not copied) by measures I already built in the EA. I mean this is a beta test, and there is only 1 way to find out. Else I would be interfering with a strategy which does maybe work (just very aggressive) but we would never be able to find this out which would be a shame. So I hope you do understand from a "beta test" point of view
I do want to make several changes in the EA (as I mentioned before, and before that also a few things), but that would have to be separate from this test. Hence I mentioned a waiting/testing time for this BETA test of 3 months to get at least the major things looked at before going "Gamma" (or Beta.B if you will).
If you are ok with loosing 30% of the $200 (as this would mean I close all orders because I'm not happy and end the BETA test and not wait the 3 full months) then please stay on board the ship which can survive the trip or sink halfway and wait for a relaunch "HansTrend v2 Gamma", if it's too difficult and too hard to watch, you are ofcourse free to leave mate, no hard feelings, I can understand that a BETA test is not for everyone.

No problem with losing 30% of $200. I signed on looking at this as a possible loss, so I will definitely stay aboard.
A point that some people may overlook with this test is that because our accounts are only $200 and .01 is a minimum trade size we are trading at an effective 4x risk. If we were running at 1x then 30% DD (@4x) would only be 7.5%.

HANSTREND V2 BETA 1 - UPDATE
I closed all current orders, as well as the pending ones, because we have hit the 30% mark.
Thanks Rod of letting me know on time
I have been working on HansTrend V2 BETA 2 in the background, with some changes that I will post about in the upcoming weekend.
This includes the changes I already discussed here. If there is ANYONE of the BetaTesters, who would like me to pay the loss, that is not an issue. I'm already grateful for the you guys helping me out, so it's the least I can do until (and if) we reach the phase of "Final". *just in case someone thinks I'm all about money or something, because I'm not.
I already asked a few of you, but you all seem kind to me and not want me to pay anything back. Don't worry about some of you guys that I have given a VPS either. The ones without a VPS, are the ones I gave one, and I will keep paying for it as well, until the "Final" version
For today I want to say, it has potential, and the things that need to change are SO obvious, that it won't be a problem. I'm still busy with it, so perhaps I'm able to announce the changes this weekend.
Again.. thanks!
Hans
note1: please not forget to check if you received all signals to have all orders closed
note2: if any of the betatesters have suggestions (as I'm busy coding it now anyway) please let me know, so it can be discussed hereLast edited by Hans Bowles; 08-28-2018, 12:40 PM.

Dude. I feel ya. You're just realising this now? c'mon.
Nick has repeated over and over again how he went down that "ever promising - never paying" route and after you pay a lot of money and work your ass off, you basically end up with almost nothing.
Manual traders with discipline, edge, and patience are the best way to make money in Forex.

I disagree, i have a profitable strategy with a fix ruleset, and im pretty sure it could be programmed as an EA.
The problem with most EAs, in my opinion, is that they are rather simple and over-optimized for a certain time period (available backtest data).

On a different note, the EAs definitely work but there are not many that can do it consistently over a long period of time. They also need to be constantly adjusted to current market conditions and updated/improved, there is no one EA that you can just set and expect it to perform the same over time. The theory that EAs dont work is just plain wrong.
