Brief Comments: 1) I now have two live (IB) accounts running on FTM (Rev06)I have used all your settings with my exposure set at 150%. I will go to 195% when you indicate that you are happy with the portfolio. 2) I have spent a lot of time ensuring that I now fully understand/ appreciate the implications of the various settings. That I can now set up my accounts to "suit my trading appetite" Using your calculator certainly gets the trade sizes spot on very quickly once the multiplier settings have been adjusted accordingly. 3) Question please: Is it possible for us to be advised as to how FTM closes off trades. i.e is it based on MOO and if so over what time period ? The reason I ask this is that all my entries were very good but the exists a bit disappointing. In brief my results for my first two sets (Mon & QVCA) FTM trades on two (2)PCs are: PC1 - Unrealized P&L for both trades on 17th was $78.56 Un & Realized P&L FOR BOTH TRADES ON 18th is $46.74 Diff between 17th & 18th is -$31.82 PC2 - Unrealized P&L for both trades on 17th was $36.70 Un & Realized P&L FOR BOTH TRADES ON 18th is $20.37 Diff between 17th & 18th is -$16.33 I do realise the implications of opening / closing trades with MOO. I also realise and have the comfort of seeing the positive results of all your extensive testing. That in another circumstance the closing trades may well be more favourable.? However and in ending I fully understand / appreciate that this could be confidential data and therefore would not expect to be advised. Appreciate as always your work and the input / advice of all members. Thank you | |
