wp01: I see 🙂 Still good to have that list when deciding what to run.
Next period will be hard to decide since I try to run only a few systems and with max 500eu dd….few of those for sep2.

@O-jay8,
Thanks for your codes.
I noticed for the HS that positionsize is 0,5. I assume that is correct when trading DFB in GB?
The DD is just the same as ozz87 version (HKD 8.010), with the difference that his version is short and positionsize 1. Same DD must be a coincidence.
Even the 0,5 positionsize should now be working in the non-dfb area since decimal quantities is possible in ProOrder. I haven’t tried it yet.
Trading with decimal quantities possible on ProOrder Live!

Uhh…decimal works of course when it is above the minimum size. In the case of the HS it should be >1 positions when living in a non DFB area.
Hi Wp01,
Its correct, For DFB the min size for HS is 0.5. The same for Nikkei with 0.5.
There are some differences as we noticed earlier already. Copper is 0.5 in DFB as well.
Corn Wheat Soybeans are min size 15 and if I recall correctly it was 20 for CFD in Euro.
If I take your algos, I adjust my positionsize down accordingly.
Here my algos for the commodities
Cotton, Coffee, Copper, Crude Oil
Soybeans and Lumber but I wont trade it.
wp01: Great work with that list. It really helps. Maybe i’ll dare to add HS, Bund and 1 more, depending on the current positions.
On my “big contract” 50k demo account Dax closed a trade for more than 10k EU… 🙂 To bad I wasn’t running it live (small version ofc).
I ran your DAX algo in mini and it is so far 20 % of my profit this month 🙂

How do you do it David? I’m looking at losses for this month. Just like lost month actually. At the moment i have two positive positions in my account and that
is 6 contracts DAX 4H and one position US Basket because i went long outside the algo’s 3x 5 contracts.
Your finance costs must also be massive per month. Mine is already between € 200 and € 400 per month.
Or do you calculate realized and unrealized separate?
Kind regards,
@Patrick, yes I only count realised losses/profits. Most realised profits and losses this month are from August algos still. Though half of my profits this month so far are from the Support algos. The rest from the Swing algos.
The financial costs are closer to 200 € each day. All those interests for all those positions really add up.
By financial costs, do you mean the spread and nightly expenses from IG?
I mean the overnight costs.
Dajvop: Ok! You are IGs cash cow 😉
