    I might have missed something, but I thought you only had one strategy. What's the difference between the 10?

  2. For each of the 5 currency pairs I am trading, I use 10 minute strategy that was "discovered" specifically for that pair.

    In addition, each of the 5 currency pairs also has a 4 pip range bar strategy developed specifically for that pair as well.

    Giving a total of 10 strategies. My 4 pip NZD and AUD strategies seem to be the under-performing strategies. With NZD being a chart almost straight down.

    So you are basically using the same system, just with different configurations? Or you let your system just "learn" a different strategy, that is, the system is the same, but applied to different assets it exposes different behaviors?

  4. The strategy is "learned" for each pair. It is far more than just different configurations.

  5. One thing I find interesting. I am trading 5 currency pairs (eurusd,gbpusd,audusd,nzdusd,usdjpy) with both long and short and on 2 different time frames. I would imagine the overall system was somewhat diversified.

    However, if I pull up a chart of EURUSD from July 17 (when I launched) until now. It looks eerily similar to my PIP return chart. Seems to be a fairly strong correlation.

    The best explanation I suppose is the USD. EUR,GBP,AUD,and NZD all have similiar charts. However, none match up to the PIP chart as well as the EUR does.

    None of the individual strategies match that well to any of the above. Its only when all 10 strategies are added together that I see this similarity.

  7. Here is the updated PIP chart from this week. The week was going very well until Thursday. It took a pretty bad beating and ended week nearly flat.

  8. Here is the chart if I remove the 2 worse performing strategies.

  9. Here is a very interesting observation. This chart contains only my range 4 strategies. Clearly they are not performing well. It may be time to abandon the range strategies and retrain using a different timeframe.

  10. Here are the results for just the 10 minute strategies.
