Spread trading in Meta Trader - page 10

This is a demo. There are no requotes here (in this brokerage company). There are slippages for the worse.

What is interesting, they are almost the same on demo and on real - these slippages....

However. In my experience in this brokerage company demo and real do not differ much from each other, as long as the real has not more than 2-2.5k USD.

My EA will want to use this, just unlikely to miss orders =\.

 

So, now I analyze tick quotes collected during several days from two different brokerage companies. And at the acquaintance stage I discover a lot of "tasty things" like arbitrage possibilities between these brokerage companies or catching super profitable entries with spreads within one brokerage company. But how it all will work in real accounts...

I guess it will, but worse...

Moreover, a lot depends on dealer.

Some of them like to squeeze their profits explaining that it was arbitrage.


So one option is a basket in one dealing* with the possibility of opening at different times.

It means, for example, to open selected instruments of the basket at the beginning of each 4-hour candle.

*It is possible to run the Expert Advisor in several DTs, and look at the overall result.

Above all, this is the execution of an important principle: do not keep all your eggs in one panties.

Anyway, I am analysing tick quotes collected over several days from two different DCs....


If you don't mind, Fduch, drop me in your personal message the name of the second one.

All arbitrage situations in our kitchens happen solely because of their crooked quote flow, as soon as the DC sees arbitrage, and if it's not a total sucker, electronic trading will be shut down.

The claims that the demo is almost no different from the real with DC, you can only hear from those who do not understand how it all works.

Not only that.

The DC managers are also trained to very convincingly zombify their potential clients about it.

We don't understand everything..... Not yet ...

This is about a specific DC (and don't pretend you don't understand it.)

In 1.5 years of real trading at the mentioned brokerage company, I experienced and fixed my following observation.

When working with small lots 0.01-0.04 and the deposit size not more than $ 1500-2000, I (almost) do not feel the difference between the real and demo (derived bit by bit profit 5 times).

And that's with the fact that both on the demo and on the real, I constantly go daily (mainly automatic) scalper trade.

The same slippage for the worse. The same (sometimes) "hesitation" of the server. And so on ...

Do not consider it an advertisement (God forbid). I've quite often on this forum openly discussed sneaky tricks that I myself have stumbled upon there.

You seemed to want to pat me on the shoulder with an expert look, like - "you still don't understand much, young fella" !

Well, I'm not going to argue with that fact.

Another ignorance of definitions. It has nothing to do with arbitrage and even less with hedging, but playing on correlations between instruments with all the risks involved.

 

I have never said that this is arbitration. Don't look for inaccuracies where there are none.

If I used the word "arbitrage" in this thread for this situation, I put it in quotes everywhere (on purpose - not to meet such a reproach)!

And about hedge. Let these words "It has nothing to do with .... to a hedge" remain on your conscience.

For the given tactic, however, this term is exactly the right one.

For :

Hedging - Wikipedia
Hedging (from English hedge - insurance, guarantee) is a futures position established in one market to offset the impact of price risks by an equal but opposite futures position .....

There is also a version in the form of a script. But its author has already given it for the article in the January issue of Leprikon.

Now manual trading (in Broco and not only) (futures, etc.) will be comfortable enough. Just do not forget that the ticker #I must be present in the MARKET REVIEW window
