"Predict" Experiment

Recommended Posts

Hello Everyone,

 

I have created an account called "Predict" as the counterpart to the "Coin-Flip" experiment that is to be found here

 

http://www.traderslaboratory.com/forums/forex-trading-laboratory/16846-lets-try-experiment.html

 

The parameters for the "Predict" account will be the same as the "Coin-Flip" using:

1. One trade per day, Trade only EURUSD

2. 2% loss and 2% target

3. Account is USD, Leverage 1:50

4. Entry will be after market opens at 09:30 EST

5. Trade will close at 5pm EST same day

 

Except ofcourse the "Predict" account will be based on our selected predictions.

 

I need a few volunteers to provide guidance and predictions for the next day's EURUSD market. Everyone is invited to participate. Please post your predictions by noting

 

Direction, Reason,Entry Preference (if any),

 

Let'e see whether "predicting" or "random guessing" of direction gains more pips after 4 weeks.

 

The first trade will be taken on August 5th, 2013 as the "Predict" entity in the Forex Trading Contest found here

My prediction for EURUSD for Monday is up as daily price is above the two moving averages and the stochRSI is pointing up. I would prefer to enter somewhere between 13140 to 13215ish.

Day 4:

 

Opened Long 09:37 EST @ 1.3363

Closed 17:00 @ 1.3378

 

I stopped tallying the pips as the +-% are found in the contest thread

http://www.traderslaboratory.com/forums/forex-trading-laboratory/9303-traders-laboratory-forex-trading-contest.html

 

EURUSD is now forming a double top with swing high of June. There is nothing that says it is going down. I will look and what it does with the double top in the morning. Still leaning up.

Day 5:

 

Opened Long 10:09 EST @ 1.3362

Closed 16:56 EST @1.3339

 

Closed a little before 5pm as it is Friday as I did not want to miss oanda's platform close.

 

It is looking like EURUSD might pullback a little here. Monday might have a little more pullback. I will wait and see what it does Sunday evening.

Day 6:

 

I was thinking Friday that the market would pullback more, but near NY open it appeared that EURUSD had already pulled back overnight and was at a support level, so I went long

 

Opened Long 09:35 EST @ 1.3288

Closed trade 16:55 EST @ 1.3298

 

Thinking more up tomorrow.

Day 7:

 

In the morning I saw that EURUSD had moved down overnight. It is near a support level but does not look ready to move up. My prediction yesterday was for a long. But the market state is facing down. I put in a sell order and waited. After an couple of hours it did not look like the market was going to give me a trade today. And the Coin-flip counterpart is expecting a trade every day for comparison. So seeing that the market was near a support level I took a countertrend trade.

 

Opened Long 11:58 EST @ 1.3245

Closed trade 16:40 EST @ 1.3263

 

I lucked out today. We'll see by morning if EURUSD will keep this slide down or ready to bounce up.

Day 8:

 

EURUSD at NY open looked........sideways. Inside day. Overall on the daily it still looked up, but in a pullback mode. So what to do?

 

Opened Long at 09:40 EST @ 1.3260

Closed trade 17:02 EST @ 1.3253

 

What a day! Were this a real money account I would say stay out. Tomorrow hopefully EURUSD will give a hint of where it wishes to go to next.

Day 9:

 

When I looked at EURUSD early in the morning it looked like it was in sideways consolidation after moving up. So I thought there would be continuation of the upmove and intended to go long at NY open. But right before the open there was this huge down bar with the news. What to do now? I continued with my original plan

 

Open Long 09:43 EST @1.3234

Closed trade 16:55 EST @ 1.3345

 

I have no idea what happened except that I lucked out on that trade. It was a beauty!

 

It is the kind of trade that makes one look brilliant eventhough one had nothing to do with it. LOL

 

It should have a pullback at some point and hopefully allow another long trade tomorrow.

    • @sxiqxx, Well done on making your first post a promising strategy. @everyone, post up if you want this coded into an EA. Although I switched to TradeStation, I still have an active MT5 demo with MetaEditor. I can code it without referencing object oriented programming which should be retroactively compatible with MT4. Let me know...
    • Please allow me to retort (in jest): RESPONSE 1 : Get a job supervising others where you're in control of performance reports and ride those others 100%. This makes your performance 100% with little to no effort.   RESPONSE 2: Feel free to piss off your boss but stay nonviolent. When the side effects of his viagra and testosterone boosters cause him to physically assault you, you have the legal upper hand. This can result in a boatload of trading capital.   RESPONSE 3: Feel free to have intimate relations with your boss if she finds you attractive. Rest assured that mum's the word because once again, you have the legal upper hand. This can also result in a boatload of trading capital.   RESPONSE 4: Don't be fake friends with any enemies... unless you need information from them. Being fake friends with everyone will cause you to become an empty shell of a person with no direction in life.   REPONSE 5: Get your boss to become reliant on your performance (really, just the performance of your subordinates), and then plan an "overheard" conversation wherein you fake an interview with another potential employer. You'll probably get a pay increase or a promotion.   RESPONSE 6: If you can give your 75% percent to a project, give 50% and rely on your legal upper hand(s). Learn to write trading algo's during your other 50%.   RESPONSE 7: Take all of the office boys out to nightclub where you merely sip soft drinks on a weeknight. Upon your return to the office in the morning, inform the security guards that all of the office boys are intoxicated. Your boss will love you for it.   RESPONSE 8: Never try to prove your client wrong or find faults in their processes, but do secretly collect their information in case you jump ship or "someone you know" decides to start his own company.   RESPONSE 9: Never stay in a firm for too long. Instead, use your ill-gotten capital to exit the rat-race and start trading.   RESPONSE 10: Trading pays more than your career. Interpersonal skills are now irrelevant. Use your technical skills for trading. Never stop learning and keep updating your technical skills.😁
    • There are a lot of trading strategies like elliot waves, wyckoff etc so we need to apply those who best suited to our need and are understandable too.
    • Scalping can be good during the high volatile markets however the new traders should be careful while entering and exiting the markets too quickly since they can make losses as well. If the broker support news trading we can make most out of the scalping in my opinion.  
    • In my opinion these candlestick charts are more easier to understand as compared with the other charts.
