FXQU_A1 v9.17

Some decent results the past week however I am looking at implementing blended money management.  At the moment each single bot controls many individual systems however I am will attempt to let the bot control the money management or risk management from overall approach. That means outcomes and trade decisions from each system will influence every other system the bot controls

FXQU_A1 v9.07

Still going.... V9.07 was deployed to two demo bots. It contains a special auto decay algorithm for reducing the take profit and stop loss levels

FXQU_A1 v8.41

It continues.... Latest update v8.41 was deployed last night.

FXQU v7.16 and sports trading

I have deployed v7.16 across several bots and will see how they go.

In the meantime I have looked at automated sport trading using betfair and BetAngel.  I have created a bot that trades 24 x 7 on horse racing and greyhound racing. At present the Bet Angel platform is not overly reliable as it routinely misses steps to close out trades prior to the races starting.  I will attempt to introduce some stability in this.

FXQU progress v6.33

A lot of work is going on in the background despite little posting here. The latest version is v6.33

Several models going through prototype testing on live and demo accounts

FXQU Fractal Regression v6.09

The signal triggers are now using fractal regression to determine areas of pause in direction.   Testing of the live prototypes are occurring and some refinements are likely.

Looking to get a few weeks results before posting

FXQU SuperS v5.82

A new version of the bot was deployed across three accounts last night.  The original v1.89 signal trigger logic has been used again but with different candles and a refined money management system.

New synthetic timeframes that are pip minute candles are being utilised.. These are time price squares but not the same as used by Gann.  In a dimensional measurement they are time price containers...

Many other features however too many to list... New results shortly

FXQU_A1 v4.43

I have included some new velocity and acceleration algorithms in the signal detection and money management code.
This has been deployed to some accounts for final testing... V4.43

Fxqu v4.36

Latest version v4.36 was dropped last night.  It contains an amended volatility calculation that takes spread into account.  Recently with the GBP volatility on brexit it has become necessary to capture these spread fluctuations.

FXQU_A1 v4.01

Version 4.01 was deployed on the 14th November.. Ie last week.  The restriction on take profits was removed and the trades are now allowed to hit their TP and SL targets

FXQU_A1 v2.59

V2.59 was deployed last night.  It contained a minor change to the risk management coding.

No there changes.  NFP tonight and so it will be interesting in any case

FXQU_A1 v2.57

I have deployed v2.57 across all bots except quartz.  It contains an updated stop loss and take profit adjusting algorithm that greatly reduces the number of changes made to TPs and SLs

FXQU_A1 v2.51

I have updated the risk management code for the prototype bots.. V2.51 is deployed across several accounts.  There is also two tiny timeframe accounts in testing - these cover synthetic timeframes from 2 to 5 minutes. Spread and commission now play a direct part to the profitability of these settings.

FXQU_A1 v2.47

Latest version v2.47 is deployed across all demo and live prototype accounts.  Quartz is excluded.  New features include a smarter risk management algorithm as well as a new adjustable hard stop loss.

Lots been worked on in the background. More to follow

FXQU_A1 v2.39

Stops were taken out last week and this was a good outcome considering the carnage on markets.

Quartz is still positive overall but August looking likely to be a negative month.

V2.39 has been deployed to a live prototype account for testing

FXQU_A1 v2.36

V2.36 is now running on 3 accounts.. V1.89 quartz has not been upgraded as this is the primary account with 8 months of history.

The robot has evolved into a highly active machine that combats spreads, low noise trending and news events.  I will continue to refine the bot and upgrade the prototypes as needed.

Mid July

No new versions deployed this month to the prototypes.   I am still investigating better ways to build on my current volatility measurement algorithms- all conventional methods are useless.

I have switched one of the demo accounts to look at timeframes between 30 and 60 minutes... Less than 10 minutes appears to be the borderline at which transaction costs eat any profits made due to the high frequency.

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.

FXQU_A1 standard deviation

It's been flat couple of weeks overall for the robots.  Watching the behaviour of the bots I was keen to capture a better measurement of volatility since this has significant impact on the calculations.  I have now introduced using standard deviation into the code to measure the volatility and deployed the new version across all bots except quartz and graphite.  I have also brought FXQU_A1 majors and A2 majors back on line - these are demos.
