Pip Monster Alive And Well
It’s official! My “Pip Monster” automated trading strategy is working gang busters. Backtested it for months now and it’s consistently giving profits. Not only that but I’ve got it running against all major currency pairs.
So far I’m taking it slow though, more testing, and only focusing on a couple currencies at a time. Today the EURGBP currency pair is giving me some juicy profits. I love it!
It’s Official… I’m using MetaTrader 4
While the markets were flattening today after the non-farm payroll report due to Easter Firday, I installed and started to customize MetaTrader 4.
I’ve had far too many problems with Forexyard….
As much as I like the ActFx platform, it uses alot of memory and is somewhat buggy. It’s a shame, I really enjoyed writing indicators and strategies for ActFx.
Here I come Metatrader 4
So far, so good. There are some quirks but no crashes! And the memory usage is far less than ActFx. A quarter of ActFx actually, and I’ve got more charts open and dozens of indicators at my disposal thanks to the Metatrader Community.
ActFx Pivot Points Calculator and Indicator
Here are a couple strategies to calculate weekly and daily pivots. The results are displayed in the log and also saved to text and ini files.
PLUS
There are two pivot points indicators to read in the results and display the pivot points.
When you install be sure to extract to C:\ and leave the folder names in tact. All files should extract to C:\ForexCurrencyDayTrader.com\
Weekly Pivots use dotted line.

When you add the indicator be sure to change the instrument name to match that of the chart you’re adding it to. for example for GBPUSD you would change Manual to GBPUSD.
Forexyard Problems Continue…
It’s been a slow trading week for me. The problems with Forexyard continue. Forexyard Support and ActFx are looking into why live data is delayed… This is crippling… To make things worse I caught a bad case of the flu. First time in many years. So I’ve not touched the trading station in days.
Forexyard Trading Station up to 10 minutes behind live data
This just adds to my frustration! It appears that my “live” trading station is up to 10 minutes behind real data… Without warning… And Forexyard support has no idea what is going on. I also don’t feel that they are really trying hard to solve it despite the gravity of the situation.
I’ve reinstalled ActFx… cleared cache… tried 4 different computers… demo systems are just fine of course (as far as I can tell) but the “live” trading station is not working.
Forexyard’s response… “We’ll send you an email Monday”.
Wow…. I reported this problem yesterday and again today and this is the urgency.
Trading Station Hung Again…
This is starting to really annoy me. My Forexyard ActFx Trading Station hangs. It looks like live data when in fact it’s several minutes behind and I’m unable to place trades. The java station works fine… If it continues I’m going to have to look for a new broker and maybe switch to MetaTrader…
More ActFx Crashes
Another disappointing trading day… well if I could only trade. ActFx has been crashing for the last 3 weeks and today I’m totally dead in the water.
I’m really starting to think about switching over to MetaTrader…
171 Pips in 30 Days
It’s spring cleaning time and that goes for my Forex Trading Stats as well. Time to clean up my strategies and systems and focus on the year ahead. Now that the Vancouver 2010 Olympics are wrapped up it’s time to focus on putting my trading on steroids.
February was a slow month for me… I slept through some good trading opportunities, my computer crashed a few times, and my strategies needed some tweaking. No more excuses, time to kick-ass and get pipping!
ActFx Custom Indicator – G3 EMA Cross Over Strategy
The G3 Indicator is a spin-off from the S3 Indicator and introduces an ActFx first: A Triangular Moving Average that changes color based on the status of an EMA cross over.
This indicator is based on a trading strategy I learned as part of a Forex Course taught by Currency Connect and have adjusted a little since.
It’s best used on the 1hr chart. When EMA 13 crosses EMA21 upward then you have a buy opportunity and the triangular moving average turns blue. If EMA 13 crosses EMA 21 downward then the triangular moving averages turns red. Incomplete and therefor inconclusive crossovers turn yellow.
