Forex Hacked-Alpari UK Tartışma

rsmereka posted:
The Forex Hacked developer recommended settings and lot sizes are suicidal IMHO. I noticed much lower DD with PS 21, Bst 1.7. I was originally running with max orders 12 but reduced this to 9. The only other thing I am doing which most do not is I have allowTrending on which will cause Hacked to dump the entire basket at a loss if things get too hairy. That is why you see the occasional day (5 so far on this account) that closed at a loss. No way 3K is enough even at 0.01 lots. I am using 5K per micro and have been getting good results. There are a number of people on Pipcop that are also using these settings on live accounts...

   In this case, backtests via MT4 is non-sense.
You work with a static moneymanagement. For a meaningful backtest you have to adapt the start lot. As Rick do in a Live-Demo. (every 5k + 0,01).

that's why i did several backtests with different lotsizes -> https://bt.hmja.de/ <- to find the max dd for each lotsize in the past 3 years. so i know for every lotsizie the balance i need.

my conclusion: on audnzd i need for every increase of 0.01 an amount of ~ 3k €.

why?:
0.02 lot - max dd: 4.325€ (required balance: 6k€, to be safe)
   -> https://bt.hmja.de/forexhacked_gom_AUDNZD_20090501-20120430_maxtrades11_0.02lot.htm
0.03 lot - max dd: 6.587€ (required balance: 9k€, to be safe)
   -> https://bt.hmja.de/forexhacked_gom_AUDNZD_20090501-20120430_maxtrades11_0.03lot.htm
...
0.05 lot - max dd: 10.883€ (required balance: 15k€, to be safe)
   -> https://bt.hmja.de/forexhacked_gom_AUDNZD_20090501-20120430_maxtrades11_0.05lot_14k.htm
...
0.10 lot - max dd: 21.928€ (required balance: 30k€, to be safe)
   -> https://bt.hmja.de/forexhacked_gom_AUDNZD_20090501-20120430_maxtrades11_0.1lot.htm
and so on...

so i increase the lotsize by 0.01 every 3k€, my account is growing.

if i made some mistake in my thinking, then please let me know.

and now compare this to cable:
0.01 lot - max dd in the past 3 years: 19.274€ (required balance: 25k€, to be safe)
   -> https://bt.hmja.de/forexhacked_gom_20090501-20120430_smereka-settings.htm

so for a lotsize of only 0.01 i need a balance of ~25k to survive the highest dd over the last 3 years. what the fuck?!

To result from this case, you also see that you never be sure, if you start in a drawdown phase. As we see in the backtest, you must have, by working with a static lot size, at least 50k to survival the dd.

relating to cable: yes. that's why i don't use it.

That's a good test, makes much more sense then any other tests I've seen.
Have you done the same test using GBP/USD? What about version 2.5 default settings?

(once I learnt to control the draw down)
