FXQU_A1 v1.89 vs v2.20

June will finish down for FXQU_A1 Quartz which is v1.89 of my fx bot.  The latest version is v2.20 and this has a more advanced and accurate set of algorithms to measure and act on volatility. 

The large single direction of movement during June caused the losses and v1.89 has limited ability to handle this.

V2.20 will continue to be tested on a live account for now.. Unfortunately nothing beats live account testing..

FXQU_A1 ... big moves

Been a while since I posted.   June is turning out to be a negative month with large moves in the EUR based pairs and also JPY.  Strong directional moves with low levels of noise or swings has seen Quartz retrace and its Max DD popped over 10%.

Quartz is using v1.89 of FXQU_A1 whilst the latest prototype is using v2.17

Its worth noting that I have demo accounts with exactly the same setup as a live account and the trades are different.  Goes to show nothing beats using a live account to do final testing.

I am still looking at given the robot more ability to make decisions in the markets as seen in the last few days .. particularly in measuring volatility.
