How Not To Lose All Your Money With A Managed Forex Account

How Not To Lose All Your Money With A Managed Forex Account


How Not To Lose All Your Money With A Managed Forex Account
by Pharaoh

Managed forex accounts present a decent opportunity for those who don’t have the time to learn how to trade forex or enough time to actually trade their own forex account to still make some profits from the forex market. They also open up investors to the triple threat of scam, incompetence, and bad brokers.

The first problem is that there are plenty of managed account scams out there. In some ways, these are much worse than forex broker scams or forex product scams. Managed account scammers usually try to get victims to invest as much money as possible, even their entire life savings. Sometimes they suggest taking out a mortgage on the victim’s house or securing other loans so that even more money can be invested. Falling for this kind of scam can ruin your entire life. As if this wasn’t bad enough, even a legitimate forex account manager can still wipe out your account through incompetence.

To avoid the most common managed account scams, you first must learn to differentiate between a normal managed forex account and a pooled account. In a normal managed forex account, the account is in your name, and the money goes from you to your forex broker. In a pooled account, you send your money to the account manager who is then supposed to pool the money from various clients into a trading account that the account manager controls.

Although there are legitimate pooled accounts under management, pooled accounts are MUCH more susceptible to fraud. Anyone with a computer can create fake account statements. With a pooled account, you can’t ever be sure where your money is. Many of these types of accounts guarantee a large monthly return on investment. There is no such thing as a true guaranteed high percentage return on investment in forex, and anyone offering one is 98% likely to be a fraud. The other 2% of the time, the person is merely an over-enthusiastic idiot. Either way, kiss your money goodbye.

But wait! You have a friend who invested and has been getting checks for the guaranteed 10% monthly return on their investment every month for over a year now. It must be legitimate.

I’m sorry, but what you’ve just described is almost guaranteed to be Ponzi scheme, named after the very infamous Charles Ponzi. It works like this: ...

Adapting position size to volatility

Autoadaptivní obchodní strategie (1/2)



Co jsou to autoadaptivní strategie?

Nejprve se koukněme na skutečnost, proč se vůbec autoadaptivními strategiemi zabývat. Hlavní myšlenka vychází ze skutečnosti, že se trhy neustále dynamicky mění a vyvíjí a to v mnoha ohledech. Jako základní atribut neustálé změny můžeme vzít například volatilitu. Zažíváme měsíce / dny / hodiny, kdy jsou trhy velmi volatilní (tj. vytvářejí výrazné pohyby) a naopak kdy je volatilita minimální (trhy jsou "mrtvé", tvoří malé pohyby, potenciál vydělat je značně menší). Autoadaptivní strategie se snaží na takové situace reagovat a měnit parametry strategie tak, aby lépe "pasovaly" na aktuální charakter trhu.

Jako nejjednodušší model autoadaptivní strategie si například můžeme představit určitý jednoduchý algoritmus, který by neustále sledoval aktuální volatilitu a dle toho automaticky měnil hodnoty stop-lossů a profit-targetů. Je jasné, že ve velmi volatilních trzích je třeba náš stop-loss i profit-target zvětšit, v méně volatilních naopak adekvátně zmenšit, případně zvýšit počet kontraktů (abychom stále mohli vydělávat rozumné peníze, i když se trhy hýbou méně, než obvykle). Svým způsobem se za naprosto základní autoadaptivní strategii dá počítat už to, že své stop-lossy a profit-targety (ale i počet obchodovaných kontraktů) budete vypočítávat s pomocí nejjednoduššího indikátoru volatility ATR (Average True Range). Můžeme si například říci, že náš stop-loss bude vždy 20x větší, než aktuální hodnota ATR v momentě vstupu... více


Autoadaptivní obchodní strategie (2/2)

Martine, jak bys definoval pojem „autoadaptivní mechanická strategie“? Co je výhodou „autoadaptivní strategie“?

Zdravím čtenáře Finančníka. Už se zde nedávno psalo o tzv. walk-forward optimalizaci systému, kdy opakovaně, v několika krocích, optimalizujeme data na určitém vzorku dat a následně ověřujeme na tzv. out of sample datech, která systém při optimalizaci „neviděl“.

Auto-adaptivní strategie pracují na velmi podobném principu s tím, že tento adaptivní proces je již součástí systému. Tak jak přicházejí data, resp. interval dat, tak se systém bez zásahu uživatele sám autoadaptuje pro generaci vstupních či výstupních signálů pro příchozí úsečk... více

Testing Features and Limits in MetaTrader 4

Testing Features and Limits in MetaTrader 4

Introduction

This article allows to find out more about features and limits of Strategy Tester in MetaTrader 4.
Special Features of Testing Strategies on History Data
Some functions are processed/passed without output

These are Sleep(), Alert(), SendMail(), PlaySound(), MessageBox(), WindowFind(), WindowHandle(), WindowIsVisible()
Trading is permitted for the symbol under test only, no portfolio testing

Attempts to trade using another symbol will return error
Lot sizes including initial size and increment step, commissions and swaps should be taken from the active account settings

Before testing, it is necessary to make sure that there is at least one activated account in the list in "Navigator" window of the terminal.
All swaps, margin requirements, expirations, GTC-orders are modeled

Testing is performed maximally closely to trading server conditions. But the can occur some inaccuracies in estimation of margin requirements on cross currencies because of lack of precise information about conversion prices at each moment.
Zero bar of another timeframe for the same symbol under test is modeled approximately

Open = correct Open, Close = correct Close, Low = min (Open,Close), High = max (Open,Close), Volume = final Volume (false)
Instant Execution mode is assumed to be used in trades, being processed without slippage
Processing orders, Open/Close without slippages
Testing stops after StopOut
Weekly, monthly, and irregular timeframes are not tested
The deposit currency can be changed, but conversion prices are set, and the current available ones are used
There are still no delays in execution of trade operations

A setup delay is planned to be introduced in processing of transactions
Account History is fully available, and it does not depend on settings
If other symbols and periods are actively used, it is desirable to download them to all possible depth
At every-tick modeling, tester pumps all necessary timeframes for the symbol under test independently
Using of MarketInfo function generates error ERR_FUNCTION_NOT_ALLOWED_IN_TESTING_MODE(4059), however, correct information about current prices for the symbol under test, about stop level dimensions, about point size, about spread size of any symbol being present in the quotes window is provided.
Special Features of Optimization Process
Nothing is output in the journal (either Print() function)

This was done in order to accelerate the testing and save disk space. If complete logs are output the journal files will need hundreds of MByte.
Draw objects are not really set

The objects are disabled in order to accelerate the testing.
"Skip useless results" function is used

In order not to garble the table and chart with testing results, the possibility to skip very bad results is used. This function can be enabled in context menu of "Optimization Results" -> &quotSkip useless results" tab.

Backtesting v MetaTrader 4

Backtesting v MetaTrader 4

Zavřít MT před zavřením pozavírej všechny grafy a smazat vše z adresáře MT4/History/adresář brokera
Potom stáhnout 1M data např z alpari http://www.alpari-idc.ru/ru/dc/databank
Otevřít MT - Tools – Option – Charts – Max bars in history = 99999999999999, Max bars in chart = 99999999999999
V MT: Tools → History center a do příslušného páru naimportovat data z alpari
V MT: File – Open Offline – vyber timeframe, který jsi právě naimportoval
Otevře se ti graf, přetáhni na něj z Script → Period Converter a v inputs zvol periodu v minutách postupně až po nejvyšší timeframe, které chceš testovat

Tzn. Pokud chceš testovat systém na 1H přetáhneš poprvé period converter a dáš periodu 5, pak ho přetáhneš znovu a dáš periodu 15, pak zase znovu a dáš 30 a nakonec 60. Tím se ti vygenerují všechny ostatní timeframe, nižší timeframe potřebuješ pro správné dopočítávání. POZN: před dalším přetažením period conv. si zkontroluj, že ten předešlý doběhl, to uvidíš dole, v záložce expert se píše něco jako Total writen records …. Nebo nějak tak. Pak teprve přetáhni period conv. Dřiv ne.

Pak už jen stačí otevřít backtester a začít testovat, ovšem po každém novém importu nezapomeň zaškrtnout recalculate.

- pokud je zdrojový soubor (tedy ten s příponou *.mq4) umístěn v adresáři experts i přeložený (zkompilovaný) soubor tam není, nedělá to nic (žádné výsledky), přestože v roletce Strategy Testeru je název EA zobrazen

- v adresáři Experts tedy musí být soubory dva - se stejným názvem a různou příponou. např. MACDsample.mq4 a současně i MACDsample.ex4

- pokud tam nejsou, může to být tím, že se spouští Metaeditor samostatně. Pak ukládá na adresu, ze které byl spuštěn, dokud to není změněno příkazem File>Save as>Název adresáře

- takže poučení: vyplatí se zkontrolovat, kam Metaeditor ukládá přeložené (zkompilované) soubory - předejde se tím podobným překvapením

Korelace (z lat.) znamená vzájemný vztah mezi dvěma procesy nebo veličinami. Pokud se jedna z nich mění, mění se korelativně i druhá a naopak. Pokud se mezi dvěma procesy ukáže korelace, je pravděpodobné, že na sobě závisejí, nelze z toho však ještě usoudit, že by jeden z nich musel být příčinou a druhý následkem

How to add an Indicator to MT4

How to add an Indicator to MT4

How to add custom indicators to Metatrader 4 Charts

How to add an Indicator to MT4 - Step By Step

1) Download the MQ4 and EX4 files into your C:\Program Files\MetaTrader 4\experts\indicators folder
2) Close your MetaTrader application (assuming it’s currently open … Ignore this if the application hasn’t been launched)
3) Launch your MetaTrader application
4) On the left hand side, look for the “Navigator” window
5) Under the “Common” tab, look into the “Custom Indicators” directory
6) Locate the indicator which you have just downloaded into the folder stated in Step 1
7) Drag (Click and drag) the indicator onto the chart

If you only have the first part of the indicator i.e on file you will most likely need to compile it.

1) Double-click on the icon of the mq4 file to open in MetaEditor
2) Find the indicator in the indicator folder on the right hand menu-click on it
3) You’ll see the source code in the upper window
5) Click the ‘Compile’ button in the toolbar
6) If all’s gone well, you should see ’successfully compiled, 0 errors’
7) Any errors will mean there is a problem with the coding. The indicator may still work but it depends. All official standard indicators will not have any errors. The errors usually come in custom indicators
8) You should now be able to add the indicator to a chart in the usual manner
9) If you have compiled the indicator and it still doesn’t show up in the custom indicators list then you may need to restart your platform

How to add indicators on metaeditor MT4


1) Copy the MQ4 file into C:\program files\\Experts\Indicators
2) Double click the mq4 file which will bring up metaeditor.
3) On the top tool bar of metaeditor, click the Compile button.
4) Make sure you get an Ok in the "errors" window.
5) The indicator will be available in the Custom Indicators section of MT4

you "compile" the mq4, then the ex4 will appear
If you already have the Ex4, then it will go in the same directory as we put the mq4. You will not need to compile the mq4, you should just restart MT4
