Even a monkey can win at forex :) - page 2

Found it on the web:

"Communists had the idea that man was a fractal of the monkey.

I think that on the contrary, the monkey is the fractal of man.

 
Alexey Volchanskiy:

Trailing at breakeven will close profitable trades, losing trades will be closed by the tester at the end of the run.

Note the percentage of successful trades

And if instead of trailing SL switch on trailing TP, the percentage becomes the opposite.

For purity of experiment, all buy trades should be closed at Sell and vice versa. And the trawl is removed.

But even if we manage to get accustomed to "earning" in such a way, we won't be able to apply this tactic in real trading.

And if instead of a SL trawl you include a TP trawl, the percentage is reversed.

For the sake of purity of experiment you should close all Buy when you click on Sell and vice versa. And the trawl should be removed.

What is a TP trawl? We cannot adjust it for real trading.

With my settings from the 2nd post the minimum SL trawl starts from 30 pips, which is at least 2 times the average spread, so the difference between the real and tester is minimal.

What is the purity of the experiment, again? I only know one word - profit. I've got enough theorists here without me ))

 

just pushing buttons, or even playing orlando, the monkey will certainly be able to do it.

I agree, but as for winning, no.

It is necessary to repeat this experiment a thousand times, and then the real mate expectation will be found out.

And it will not, of course, be the winning one.

In this form as now the experiment looks ridiculously stupid and naive, although the man seems to be intelligent and educated.

If not trolling of course. Or maybe he is just slowly going mad, anything is possible.

Stanislav, stop drinking, New Year has passed)). I clearly wrote in the first post -"The essence of the game is simple.
 
Alexey Volchanskiy:

What is a trawl TA? Describe the algorithm plz and why it is needed.

Same as a trawl SL, only trailing TP price. Why is it needed is as complicated a question as why is a classic trailing stop needed ;)

I was only talking about the practical side.

If the monkey is trained to look at quotes at such speed and make buy or sell calls in time (and it will surely succeed if you feed it after each profit), then it will not be possible to move it from tester to real, because the quotes will move in real time (and not accelerated X times) and it will click rarely, reflex will not work and the monkey will stay hungry.

It's when we test and evaluate the same thing, rather than claiming a gut check (click on buttons) and actually testing over-sitting with a trawl.

A classic trawl reduces MO, i.e. it makes almost any system worse
 
Комбинатор:
classic trawl reduces MoD, i.e. deteriorates almost any system
The classic one, which is in the terminal, is not viable at all. The trawl at breakeven allows at least fixing some profit. I close using system signals that are similar to open signals - price change rate. However, for insurance purposes, I use the switchable trawl Breakeven with a real SL. I usually switch it on when trading on news when the price changes within a wide range and the signals due to speed of price movement may not have enough time to be formed. Then a trawl with real SL is useful.

Don't you think that if we pull the TP after the price, the point of TP will disappear? After all it will never work when pulling up ))

Trailing stop with SL is another matter, it will work on price pullback.

 
Alexey Volchanskiy:

Don't you think that if we pull up the TA after the price, then the point of the TA just disappears? After all, it will never be triggered by pulling up)).

Trawl with SL is different, it will work on price pullback.

We are pulling in the wrong direction. Behind the price, not away from the price.
