BB or anyone experienced with FE,

I've been running FE 2.1 since 2 weeks on a live account with Trade Fort using Long Cycles and had around 3.5% profit.
today I activated Short Cycles as requested by TE, I have now a level 15 basket formed on the EURJPY which brought my DD to 22%.

I don't know what to do!!!
was that normal? and any suggestions please.

Thx.
Maybe someone can answer PierreN ,for he seems to be forgotten!

I have no live account at the moment so I don't know about your basket,but still it can happen!

regards,
Philipe

Thank you Philipe.

Pierre,

You weren´t supposed to activate the euro pairs on the short cycles.
That´s why you have such a big drawndown.
I would activate freeze after take profit for that pair and hope for the best.

Hi PierreN,

the basket seems to be fine. It formed on my TradeFort account too (just lvl 13, not 15) and is still open. My instaforex account did not form that basket at all.

According to the post he made earlier with a link to his myfxbook, he use grid/matingale himself lol  ;D

The myfxbook is a link to demo on reticolo and that is agrid based system. Hyped as a basket grid trader and internally hedging and therefor safe according to the developers. All I wanted to show here is that even with all the hype of "new system, new paradigm" that also this robot has it risk. You should be grateful for me revealing my account as a learning process for all instead of making fun. It says more about yourself.

Read this >

I can not believe it. 4 stars to an EA that uses martingale in its trading logic. And the threads are full of blown up accounts. Raters must be gamblers and not traders.

You are the one making fun of folks using grid/martingale but you use them yourself according to your profile.

Sound like you have something to sell us? what is it?

I'll update my profile on that. I have traded martingale, never made money so will not touch it. Only grid systems I use are kangaroo or volatility factor that have a limit on grids open and a hard SL.

I leave you here. Tried to find some more info from vendor website about what makes envy so special but the website seems down.
Trading should be boring otherwise you are loosing money.

no offense here bearbull, But I think a 90usd(Remembered the deposit now) account used on the old settings with FE 2.0 (Which was used when the Trading point account was opened) (Might be 2.1 not 100% sure) was a little risky.

Its my personal opinion.

I also saw 1 account blow 1 day, and FE deposited more money into the Trading point account the same day so it wouldnt blow.
After that, the total deposit matched up with their requirements.

Guys,

I activate my FATPScheduler 30 minutes BEFORE the US Sessions opens on US Friday and turn it off 30 minutes AFTER the Sydney Session open Aussie Monday.

Never had a blown Short doing that.

the scheduler on my EURJPY was put off on Monday 23:30 and I am using TradeFort Server which is GMT+2;

maybe I should wait 30 minutes after Sydney open on Monday as you said.

Thank you.

That is your first mistake to think Envy uses a Martingale system.

I love to read myfxbook statements. When I see lotsize increases, it is a warning sign. Or when I see a huge basket close of 80 lots. When I see a system start with 0.01 lot eventually opening trades of 16 lots I do think this is what everybody on the forum calls martingale. I am just stating the statement of the forexenvy live account on my fxbook.

Trading should be boring otherwise you are loosing money.

Fair enough,

Envy has good potential only if its handled correctly thats all we are saying. Majority of guys here are finding the best way to MM and operate envy. Im one of those who messed up and lost instead of making profit. I knew the risk, I knew I messed up and only have myself to blame. Forex is risky regardless of type of trading.

Anyway you will find alot more info in this thread, much more than their website.

Thank you.

Also check your starting time, my #15 level basket started on Friday 18h00. Since it's 3.0 demo, I just left the short-cycle pairs continue trading to see what will happen with NBP.

No big gaps, so nothing learned except to make sure to really close the short-cycle pairs over the weekend.... :)

I'm finding with 2.1 that HV long-cycle with 3x lotsize gives the same result as 2.1 HV long- and short-cycle, but with MUCH lesser DD.

I'm leaning toward that more and more at the moment...

Got to be the dumbest example I've seen in a while. And again, read the damn thread.

You will only become successful in your trading when you look first at what do I stand to loose.

The answer is very relevant, cent accounts are needed for martingale if you are on a low starting balance. Cent accounts have very low income as an account type for the broker but still very high operating cost. The only reason they are out there because brokers know from history they will get blown.

The envy myfxbook accounts have shown spectacular profit. 100% in January 2012 alone. However DD has been 50%+. I read in the first few pages how we all have to be careful by the EA developer. However DD and profits raked in show a quiet aggressive trading style. Who follows the vendor and who has is clearly thinking and has done back test and understands really the trading logic and the risk they are taking.

We all wanna get rich but forex is and stays a zero sum game. There are winners and losers.


I didn't start trading only yesterday, so don't tell me about shallow crap about selling the house to trade.

Learn more, think more, before you critic. And end of day you just wanna walk away, that means you started out wrong. Admit it and move on.
