Topic: Dear Popov or some experienced-A 5-min FX deal for Daily EURUSD Chart?
Hi folks,
Here is a generated method that doubles an account each year, tested on 3 years of fxsb data, and is so simple it seems to be one of those "5-min fx" deals? (i.e., no auto-trading nor 24/5 chart watching!) Correct me if I'm missing something.
Question on how this generator does "stuff": It says here "Required margin: 100.00 USD for each open lot", does that mean a mini each time? How can it be a full lot each trime for only $100 per newly opened full lot? Has to be a mini, right?
And down further below is this statement "Indicator Slots
The slots show the logic for the long positions only. Forex Strategy Builder automatically computes the proper logic for the short positions." What is this? Confusing. It says logics only for Longs, buuuut, it says too it will compute shorts, huh?
Please help with answers if anyoner can, and help see if this can be applied.
Thx! Jerry
