He is still trading. He got caught in a central bank manipulation, as we all have. The stops just need to be tightened to avoid catastrophic draw downs. It is probably a good idea to be very cautious now as currency wars are taking place and central banks are debasing their currencies ahead of the anticipated U.S. QE2.

The BOJ will continue to weaken its currency over the next several weeks. Their exporting companies are not making enough if any money with the yen at its current level. Therefore, the USD/JPY will rise and the GBP/JPY will rise as will other yen currency crosses. This will continue until the market catches on and then the yen could become higher than it is now.Google TranslatorБанк Японии будет продолжать ослаблять свою валюту в течение следующих нескольких недель. Их экспорт компании не будут получать достаточно, если деньги с иены на его нынешнем уровне. Таким образом, пара USD / JPY буд...

Forex Overdrive in Trading Systems Sep 22, 2010 at 15:19

The results displayed on myfxbook.com look very good. Do you have plans to release a new EA which reflects the combination of Overdrive and Revolution? An adjustable or tighter stop loss would be appreciated as a 328 pip stop loss could result in a margin call. A very low percentage of account equity would have to be used per trade to withstand a 328 pip stop. Can you control stops with risk settings? It would be educational to review results based upon the various risk settings. You surely have a winning strategy.

Arbatov, I just want to give you some words of encouragement after the large draw down. You have a good strategy as you have proven over the past two months. It is not necessary to achieve huge profits of a thousand or thousands of percent within a year to be successful. If you will tweak your trading strategy to reduce risk and yet have good returns, it will pay very well in the long term. A good return with Forex is 10% per month. If you achieve 50% to 100% per month consistently, you will make yourself and your investors so much money within 3 years, that you will not know what to do wi...

Forex Overdrive in Trading Systems Sep 20, 2010 at 17:09

I have been watching this robot for a few months on bestforexrobots.net and Forex Tool Shop, and now, myfxbook.com. Yes, bestforexrobots reflects a 328 stop loss per the EUR/USD, but overall results are not bad. The account is currently in a fairly large draw-down. This robot could blow an account, and in fact the balance did go below zero in testing at bestforexrobots.net Forex peace army reflects profit at something over 5% per month. I don't understand the difference in profit from so many sites and brokers. If the developer is running this EA in combination with another, for myfx...

The daily chart reflects what appears the formation of an extinguishment candle, CCI: 280 at peak, now 236, (an historic high since chart begins in April 2010) Stochastics: 95, RSI: 62 (another high for period). It may roll over. I too, have been caught in a Central Bank manipulation on the JPY. It is best to exit when the candle pierces the moving average lines against you; especially when a parabolic sar forms in the opposite position to yours. The bankers trade the 4 hour time frame. They have been in this long position for a while, now; lets hope they let it wind down. If you are t...

PinPoint Wizard EUR/CHF in Strategies Sep 17, 2010 at 03:04

Yes, its possible. I had a lot of fun trading this pair during the Asian session, years ago. The trick is a lightning fast execution and ECN. Steve, please let me know when you release the final version. And, thank you for your contributions to myfxbook.com

Their customer service is great. At the time I was trading they were changing their platform over to a new version and it had bugs they were trying to work through. The indicators would dissapear or the colors would partially or all change to yellow. There were some requotes during volatile markets.

Interactive Brokers in Brokers Sep 16, 2010 at 03:09

Some of the tightest spreads in the industry. IB has an excellent reputation, but it is not for the new trader. They neglected to tell me they shut their platform down at night for maintenance. Since my programmers wrote a program to specifically trade on their API, this was a major disappointment. So, it is not for automated trading, until they can get around this issue. Also, the API kept disconnecting. A real bummer. If you trade manually and have your own platform or are willing to lease one of the platforms they offer, this could be a good choice. They offer trading stocks, opt...

Not bad at all. I had good experience with them running EAs on their Meta4 platform. Spreads are reasonable, not the best, but not high either. Choose fixed spread for safety if you are trading with EAs. No complaints.

Oanda in Brokers Sep 16, 2010 at 02:51

Excellent Broker. I had a program written in C++ specifically for Oanda and Interactive Brokers. API plug in works seamlessly, excellent spreads, good customer service, and I like the platform. Just wish they had MT4 so EAs could run on it. Their API fee is high ($600 a month) but the cost is offset with lots traded. Still, the API fee makes them less competitive with other brokers that use Meta4. Their platform would go down from time to time, but the API stayed connected. Good people.

Just noticed myfxbook has reviews for Brokers under the Reviews tab. MB Trading is listed there.

FXCM in Brokers Sep 15, 2010 at 21:50

I don't know what happened to FXCM. They were a good FCM back in 2004, but after being away for a while, I opened up a new Boston Technology account with them. The account opening was somewhere from strange to smooth. One person would tell me I did not have an account with them and another would find the old account. Transferring from the old account to the new account took a few days. Now, trying to sign up for their free VPS has become an ordeal. After two weeks, I am about to ask them to send my money back.

Excessive requotes.

I notice results are much better with ATC Brokers than with the others. It appears V22 is running with all the brokers but with different results. ATC Brokers and Fienex Group, Turtola, Virgin Islands, UK have significant differences even though both are ECN brokers with similar spreads, though ATC has slightly lower. It would be interesting to hear what this is attributed to. Also, some of the active trades involve different pairs amongst different brokers; "Why is this?" Has anyone tried MB Trading, another ECN?

JPCfx (ECN) in Trading Systems Sep 15, 2010 at 18:42

Nice record of trades. The GBP/USD has always given me headaches and it appears to be up to its typical unpredicatable nature from what I see in your September trades. I am fairly new on myfxbook. How do we know which FCM or Broker the trader is using, and how are the trades verified? I see two posts for one trader on myfxbook, one with results of several thousand percent returns and then another for the same trader with double digit returns for the same time frame. ???

Arbatov PAMM Insta in Trading Systems Sep 09, 2010 at 02:23

Arbatov, Don't worry about your English. I worked with some associates in Russia and Belarus and tried to learn Russian. It is very difficult to learn the language in a short time, and I never learned to write in Russian. So, it must be equally difficult to write the English language without many years of study and practice. For you guys who don't believe me, try writing answers to questions in Russian.

Greetings Arbatov,Congratulations on the success of your trading strategy this past month. I would like to invest in your PAMM account. Could you advise how? If you change Futures Commissions Merchants (aka Forex Brokers), Dukascopy probably has the best reputation in the industry. I visited your beautiful St Petersburg a couple of years ago and was very impressed with the architecture and layout of the city. The Hermitage was incredible as was the Cathedral of SS Peter and Paul.
