Partial close on the strength. An alternative method that can help to smooth the equity curve is to fix the profit at the first sign of strength. If you are in a trade and the market gives you an unexpected profit, take it (I use 1.5% or more profit for this rule for the day). This approach allows you to immediately capitalize some of your gains. In part, this may take you out of some trends too early, but it will also be a guarantee that...

[info_block align=”right”]Торговля фьючерсами в терминале МТ4 почти не отличается от обычного трейдинга. [/info_block] Большинство начинающих да и более-менее опытных трейдеров даже не подозревают, что самый популярный терминал MetaTrader 4 позволяет торговать не только традиционными активами – валютными парами, металлами, акциями – а еще и фьючерсами.

[info_block align=”right”]Эффективное управление сделкой может потребовать от вас разбития сделки на несколько частей. Это означает, что вы частично закрываете позицию, и возможно даже перезаходите ранее закрытыми частями.[/info_block] Для достижения стабильности вы должны уметь адаптироваться к изменениям на рынке после открытия сделки. Держать и надеяться на то, что цена дойдет до вашего тейк-профита, – торговая стратегия, очень далёкая от наилучшей.

Практически каждый день появляются новые платные и бесплатные торговые роботы, которые впечатляют доходностью и вызывают желание быстренько заработать.

What is HFT trading? High-frequency trading or HFT trading is a special type of robotic trading, where transactions are conducted literally in fractions of a second. HFT-strategies stand out among others because their main income items are market making and arbitrage. The main point is to exploit the speed advantage - a faster transport channel between the trader and the exchange reduces the time to send a request and receive a response. In essence, there is an arms race, where some algorithms fight with others for the right to win a few fractions of a millisecond. As a consequence of HFT-algorithms many big players began to underestimate profits when putting positions into the market, and the littering of the stock market led to...

[info_block align=”right”]Идеальный вариант – первоначальный депозит уже выведен, и робот продолжает торговлю только на заработанные средства.[/info_block] Каждый начинающий трейдер слышал ужасные рассказы о торговых стратегиях, работающих по принципу Мартингейла, которые могут быстро заработать и также быстро слить депозит – буквально в течение нескольких часов. Более того, тематичные сайты буквально завалены роботами, построенными на основе принципа Мартингейла, усреднения, выставления сетки ордеров и прочих «пересиживателях». Однако, со временем, начав разбираться в механизмах рынка и поднабравшись опыта, многие трейдеры обращают внимание не только на высокие риски таких экспертов, а и на их повышенную доходность. Как удержаться от соблазна и не попробовать? Да очень…

The use of a grid of orders in trading on the foreign exchange market is popular. Many trading strategies and robots are based on this principle and are also called grid traders from the English word "grid", which is translated as "grid". In this article we will consider the general concepts of grid trading. What types of grid of orders are there? There are two types of a grid of orders in trading: static grid of orders with a fixed step; dynamic grid of orders. Why do we need a grid of orders at all? A grid of orders is a twofold way to trap prices: In this case a net of orders is laid out at a certain distance from the current price. Such grid is called static with a fixed ...

Traders all over the world are struggling with the task of creating an indicator that most accurately describes the current market situation, such a trading grail. There have been many attempts, but one problem remains unsolved to this day - it is the lag of signals. The indicator lag usually means the situation when after receiving the entry signal we notice that it is more profitable to open an order earlier at a more attractive price... What affects the indicator lag? There is no perfect indicator. There are market insiders who receive signals with the minimal possible lag. Ordinary traders analyze the actual price stream, so there is some lag in any case. One of the main factors influencing the indicator lag...

This year I visited ShowFx World in Kiev and I would like to tell you about the speech of Tom Hugard, one of the most successful traders in a very large hedge fund. I should point out right away that in this article I'm going to quote his words as I understood them for myself. I've realized once again that success in trading is determined by psychology, not by strategy. It's nice to hear another confirmation of my opinion from the lips of a professional of such a level. *The slides used in this article are taken from the author's presentation. Principles of 2% successful traders The first, most important principle that guides successful traders, is to buy the strong and discount the weak. What is this...

Hotkeys are present in almost all modern computer programs, allowing the user to greatly accelerate their work. The MetaTrader 4 trading terminal is no exception and it has more built-in hotkeys than you can imagine. Hot keys moving through the price chart Let's start with the most common keys - "Up", "Down", "Right", "Left". They can be used to easily move on a price chart: "Up" or "Left" keys move the chart to the left; "Down" or "Right" keys move the chart to the right. Using these keys will replace the usual scrolling of the mouse wheel that most traders use to move on the chart. For faster movement you can use...

In the world of financial markets, the modern trader is increasingly using trading robots, entrusting money management to a cold-blooded program. However, many traders note that the results of EA trading in the real market differ significantly from the results of testing on historical data, and in a negative way. Often, due to the above-mentioned reason, the traders blame the broker for a special "faking" of the market situation in order to lose the deposit in real conditions. In order to dot all the "I "s and cross all the "t "s, let us analyze why the results of testing and trading by Expert Advisors are not always identical and see how to configure the test trading robot in such a way as to reduce the difference in the results. №1. Taking into Consideration Slippage and Spread Extension In the Strategy Tester completely...

In spite of the fact that scalping is one of the most technically and psychologically difficult types of trading, it has long enjoyed well-deserved popularity. Naturally, EA developers have not missed scalping either. Nowadays lots of free and paid scalper robots based on different principles and trading strategies are available to traders. Some advisors trade only at certain hours, some trade all the time. Some EAs work better and some work worse. However, as a rule, a scalping Expert Advisor shows profit for a certain period, after which there is a period of slack and a series of trades with losses. The implementation of scalping strategies in Expert Advisors often reaches the absurdity, which leads to...

Automated trading using trading experts has long gained wide popularity among traders. However, robots have one peculiarity - for their correct trading it is necessary for the terminal to be running around the clock. Naturally, a constantly turned on computer is, at a minimum, uncomfortable, so VPS servers are used to trade robots around the clock. Almost every broker provides its clients with VPS servers. There are also many third-party hosts with the same offer. The only difference is the required price and quality of the services provided. But I don't think many experienced traders know that you can connect to a VPS server directly from your MetaTrader 4 terminal. Connecting to a VPS Server from the MetaTrader 4 Platform

Every trader knows that the MetaTrader 4 trading platform is periodically updated. Of course, there are positive moments in it, but today let's talk about the disadvantages of such updates. With each new version, MetatTrader 4 becomes heavier and more demanding to computer resources. And if a trader uses the built-in strategy tester for testing indicators and trading Expert Advisors, the "weight" of MT4 can reach 10 GB or more. The high demand for PC resources creates a problem for traders who use VPS servers for testing Expert Advisors, reducing the number of terminals available for installation on a server. All these problems lead to the fact that the trading terminal often hangs and slows down, taking up hard...

We've been running trader contests on our websites for over 4 years. During this time we have cooperated with different companies, tried many variants of rules and prizes, experimented and searched for the perfect contest for everyone. Being in fact a bridge between a broker and a trader I wondered what was the most successful contest. In order to make the topic more interesting, I asked companies and traders - our regular contest participants - questions about what it should be, how it affects trading on real accounts and whether it is worth participating in contests at all. Let's see what happened. Why brokers do or do not do...

New Year's holidays are approaching, and most traders are preparing to end the trading year, counting profits and losses. The time of thin market is coming - the time of big profits and lost deposits. What is a thin market? The classic definition of a thin market suggests that it is a market with a small number of participants, low volatility, low trading volumes and, as a rule, wide spreads. In simple words, a thin market is a time when the basic law of supply and demand is almost non-existent in the market. Liquidity is lacking because there are very few buyers and sellers, so any trade with more or less decent volume forces the price to overcome the number of points for which at normal times it was...

Almost all traders use technical indicators in trading. On profile resources there are more and more new indicators - modifications and optimized versions of classic tools, compilations, brand new developments, etc. Why do I need to test the indicators? Often, it is hard to find out the efficiency of an indicator at first sight. Certainly, every trader has ever met such indicators. It is especially true for arrow indicators that show a signal for entering the market, but after a while they redraw their data. The programmer can look through the code of the indicator, but what should a non-specialist do? Test the indicator in real time? Long and sometimes costly. And here the MetaTrader 4 Strategy Tester comes to the trader's aid ....

It will hardly be a revelation for anyone that arbitrage advisors can help to earn impressive profits with minimal risks on the currency market. Nevertheless, not everything is as simple as it looks when you first get acquainted with arbitrage. Arbitrage Expert Advisors: Inter-Broker and Inter-Exchange Arbitrage What is meant by arbitrage and why is it so profitable? There are several types of arbitrage systems, but there is one principle underlying them: we learn the value of the price we see in the terminal some time earlier. That is, we open a position knowing in advance that it will be profitable, because we have information about where the price will be in some fractions of a second...
