Just a quick update ..
The FXQU_A1 robot has been very active this week. FXQU_A1_MME has completed over 13,000 trades in 4 weeks and has recovered from earlier heavy position taking that came about from the GBP movement.
Here is an overall snapshot of the four accounts running. This now includes a Live account running on Majors withAxitrader (pro MT4 account).
I will post more results later.
I did notice the 2GB RAM and 2 CPU VPS is averaging 80% to 90% CPU and 80% RAM utilisation - this is a bit high however the core maths engine driving FXQU_A1 is complex and so in some respect its expected.
Its been an interesting past few days. There was a lot of high impact data come out and some big movement in the FX markets as expected news was not forthcoming. There were large directional movements across minors and some exotics and this was evident in the performance of FXQU_A1_MME.
Over the next month or two I will be creating higher risk systems (ie 2x up to 5x) and also a G7 major pair system.
FXQU_A1_MME:
- profit was hit as heavy exotics and minor pair positions were taken and then unwound. over the space of a few days
- currently (relatively) low number of positions are open (approx. 500).
- 10,000 trades completed in 3 weeks.
FXQU_A1_Majors:
- handled the big news items very well.
FXQU_A1_Minors:
coming soon
hi all
I have started to run FXQU_A1 across separate baskets of currencies and will name them accordingly. The existing FXQU_A1 robot running with GoMarkets will be renamed to FXQU_A1_MME .. the MME stands for Majors Minors exotics ie the 26 pairs that this system is running across covers these three baskets.
I have setup an Axitrader Pro demo account as well now .. this one will be the 10 pairs of Majors only .. and so its named FXQU_A1_Majors. Another system will be Minors only - will be setup soon.
I have upgraded the VPS to 2GB and 2 CPU .. handles two instances of MT4 and the heavy calcs of the robot's EA engine easily.
Few points:
1) FXQU_A1_Majors on Axitrader Pro is set to 1:400. Key reason being I am trying to allow a small account of $1000 to be sufficient for this system to be copied.
2) I am running both Go Markets and Axitrader accounts .. GO Markets are looking to expend into the copy trading feature of myfxbook.
3) FXQU_A1_MME: this a high frequency robot .. between 500 to 1000 trades per day across the 26 pairs. Even at 1:300 or 400 you will need to have a minimum of $30,000 for a starting balance.

hi All
the week was wrapped up and the EA is still pushing along. Extract from MT4 report is below.
I am setting up an Axitrader Live account (ECN) and firing up the majors only. I will post the links to the myfxbook results here once done. Currently the math calculations for FXQU_A1 and its 26 pairs is close to maxing out the VPS (1 PCU and 1 GB RAM) so either I bulk up the VPS to 2GB and 2 CPU or set up another barebones VPS (on Crucial). I will see what is best value.
cheers FXQU
PS screenshots from the expert advisor will be posted shortly .. probably not what most expect ;-)
Morning All
with the UK election producing interesting results and the pound getting pushed around heavily I was looking forward to seeing how FXQU_A1 would handle this. Here is an extract from the MT4 detailed report .. still going ok.
On a side note I will looking to fire this up on another broker and not Go Markets - the reason being that Go Markets do not offer copy trading! ... and so at present I am leaning towards Axitrader. I did look at Pepperstone however the number of currency pairs they offer is to limited.
My primary focus is to push FXQU_A1, MT4 and the VPS they are hosted on, to solidify the overall robot's performance ... from there copy trading will be offered - and probably in two groupings: the first will be major pairs only and the second will be a basket of about 20 or 30 pairs ..
that's all for now
cheers

Afternoon ... in line with keeping transparency of the progress of FXQU_A1 here is a pic of the chart from the Detailed Report out of MT4. Also, over the next few days I will try to explain some of the mechanics behind the EA that is FXQU_A1.
enjoy ...
Another update .. FXQU_A1 is stretching out across the 26 currency pairs and hedging is now appearing across the varying timeframes. This is not unusual since the timeframes being scanned per pair is from 20 minutes right up to a day.
Also with the UK election coming up I will be leaving the EA to push through this regardless of the election result and impending volatility.
catch the results on myfxbook here :

hi everyone
latest news ... I have finally fired up FXQU_A1 and fed it into myfxbook. Also I have posted the link for this blog onto my main webpage at www.fxqu.com.au.
FXQU_A1 is a MT4 Expert Advisor that is high frequency across 26 trading pairs at the moment - the number of pairs is customisable and each pair is fully independent.
Some stats on FXQU_A1:
- pushing about 500 trades per day
- scans 70 dynamic time frames per currency pair
- each time frame is phase shifted
- take profit and stop loss targets are dynamically created depending on volatility.
- all calculations are performed at 3 second intervals.
Comments:
my current VPS set up is 1GB RAM with 1 CPU and is hosted by Crucial .. FXQU_A1 is CPU intensive due to its maths so its hammering this setup (but good enough for now).
