Hello Adnan,

I am a subscriber to Trend Tracker. I am looking for a place where i can see your trades, and how they align with mine. I know on the signal pages that i subscribe to i can see that info in their profile. Where can i see yours? When i goto your signal it says i am not a subscriber which makes sense as i subscribed to your EA. Thank you.

Hi,

Signal subscribing and EA renting or purchasing are different things. Please not e that by renting EA/purchasing EA does not mean your trades will be synchronized 100% with my signal. It is how you use EA in your MT4.

Hey amiddup,

my pleasure, I wish to continue providing useful information like this on occasion.

In the past I looked at Adnan's live signal, he started with 5538.89$ and 0.10 lots.
I divided that figure by 10 so 5538.89$/10 = 553.889$ for 0.01 lots.
As such I assumed having 500$ balance to start with is a good safe balance.

It actually worked for me and to this day I have been making a lot of profit but I realized that there were days where I exceeded 500$ draw-down and any beginner would have had a closeout. This almost happened with Pedro Gomes' live signal, he started with 500$ as per my recommendation and as you can see on his equity chart he came down to 89.95$ before barely recovering from that, can you imagine the amount of guilt I had? During all this time Adnan already mentioned once or twice that he recommends 1000$ in the forums. And I agree, however these last two months were brutal and we had some of the worst draw-down in history as you can see in Adnan's live signal.

I decided to write down the worst draw-down during live trading of each instrument and use that figure as their minimum recommended balance. I had AUD/USD open since September, it closed today, it reached down to -453$ draw-down. By doing this over a long period of time, looking at multiple signals and revising/averaging the numbers on occasion I hope to establish a maximum draw-down amount for each instrument.

The idea of having 5 instruments on your account is that any instrument that exceeds their expected draw-down can borrow money from the other instruments that aren't in draw-down. Adnan's figure assumes that this is always possible as it's very unlikely all 5 are in draw-down simultaneously but $453 means one and a half additional instruments can no longer trade. My figures were designed to lessen the borrowing and any user-error lot increases without realizing the amount of draw-down possible on the instrument. Here is an example:

Adnan's 1000$ (5x 200$): The user may think about increasing USD/JPY to 0.04 lots now that they achieved +600$ (3x 200$ more) so 1600$ balance only to end up with -1600$ and a margin close-out as they were not aware of the draw-down this instrument can achieve.
Henry's Figures: The user may think about increasing USD/JPY to 0.04 lots after achieving +1200$ so 2450$ balance only to end up with -1600$ but have 850$ equity remaining and the other instruments continue unaffected with the required minimum balance and there is still plenty of room for emergencies (which would lead to another revision of the minimum balance here in the forums).

As for the (favorite) flags, that's because they tend to recover quickly and are the most profitable and make the most trades with the least draw-down.
As for the (5 pips target) that's because I once figured out having the entry strategy close at 0.20$ caused it to spam profit all day long, as EUR/AUD is the best instrument decreasing the target will cause it to close sooner and faster so many times it far exceeds the few 10 pips target trades in profit. It's a bit of an experiment to try if you already reached 0.04 lots on it.

Hi, why EA don't run ?

Carlo

Hello Adnan,

May I ask, what is the adjustment adjustment to micro account?

You should see Bitcoin right now. It's dealing with a "bubble" meaning it will go up like crazy and then *pop!* it may drop to 0. Sadly people aren't aware of this and are spamming the system with so many deposits and long orders it can no longer keep up. As of me writing it's already 228188 unconfirmed transactions behind. I don't even want to know how many people are going to lose all their money soon...

And yeah, Bitcoin is going parabolic now; but no way it's a bubble ;)

I'm trying to reach you, what is your email or skype?

Henry, what's happened to your signal?

Is anyone else out there getting the biggest drawdown they've had yet, or is it just me?

For everyone: Be careful about the update to 3.5, my partner's EA settings were reset to default values including the magic number, so make sure all your settings are correct. I am waiting until the weekend before updating.

Hey amiddup,

I made a 50 units short on Brent Crude Oil back when it was 55.105 per barrel as I assumed it would drop again, instead we've seen an increase in price because of OPEC's fraudulent attempts to increase the oil price by having less inventory, other oil exporting countries agreed and they all signed a contract to do the same. Oil is at 69.443 now and my trade is -€600.47. That's been causing the large spread between my balance and equity. I have been depositing 125€ whenever needed to balance out the draw-down and also slowly get to the 2500€ balance needed to safely operate my account on the current SAAD TrendTracker settings (as per my balance recommendations). I am also placing 25 unit longs, wait until they are positive, put a trailing stop on them and immediately place another 25 so I am profiting huge amounts during this time and once oil goes back down I only have to worry about half the draw-down from my remaining 25 unit long.

As for the sudden spike down to 35.17€ equity, that didn't happen, that's just MT4 misreading my signal again, some weird bug with Oanda my broker, like all the +1000€ equity spikes in the past:

I think we all just came out of the biggest draw-down, not entirely but mostly. Have a look at Adnan's live signal (specifically his equity throughout October - November. It's the same for me of-course just harder to see because of the oil trading).

Hi Henry,  thanks for your in-depth reply.  I assume that large DD is also why I cannot see your signal when I click on the link in your profile - like Adnan's signal when it went missing a few weeks ago too?

I've been taking a look at Adnan's signal too and notice that his DD is only at around 16% at the moment.  With mine at twice his, I was starting to get concerned!  again, it's reassuring to see that others are at around this level too.

Lets hope your manual long trades work out for you!!

Adnan, your signal is available for free, that's awesome! xD

Especially because that's usually impossible to do on real accounts:
