hi
i've been playing around with expressfx for a bit and want to try this experiment. i think posting results will help me stick to the rules of the test.
here's what i plan to do:
demo account, 5000 USD
trading 5 pairs:
EUR/USD GBP/USD USD/JPY AUD/USD EUR/JPY
at 22:00 GMT toss a coin for each pair, heads buy, tails sell.
size of each position 10000
take profit 60, stop loss 40
check positions at (approx) 06:00, 14:00, if positions have closed, open a new one by tossing coin.
close all positions 20:00 GMT and repeat next day.
maintain risk exposure at 4% of account
evaluate next weekend
