Discussing the article: "Forex arbitrage trading: A simple synthetic market maker bot to get started" - page 2

 
Beware guys! it does not work. Whatsoever "Synthetic pair" this guy mentions is not even being used in the code. The EA provided is just a straightup GRID BOT. On a backtest, It works well, until a massive crash happens due to margin constraints.
 
Anzer Tan backtest until it crashes massively due to margin constraints.

EAs that are published in articles or posted in CodeBase are not profitable. This is an axiom and everyone needs to remember it once and for all!!! The main task of the authors of articles is to give information to readers for thinking and analysing. If the reader understands the topic of the article and knows how to program, then this reader can use the author's developments in his own Expert Advisors. What is not clear here? If the reader does not know how to program, then he can use the author's developments or ideas to place his order in Freelance. It's so obvious!!!

Good luck and good luck to everyone!!! )

profitable or not is the result of a combination of trader+technical means (Expert Advisors including).

in articles and codebase there were a lot of sensible ones, but the further you go, the more false ones are, which will help neither the trader nor the developers in any way. arbitrage of currency synthetics is one of them.

The key word is "used to be"! ) But not now.

... I coded it into the EA...

Hi. Very interesting, what have you programmed into your EA? I would like to know the details.

I have to say, this guy knows next to nothing.


double commission = PositionGetDouble(POSITION_COMMISSION);

The value is always 0, and it's clear from here that he's here to cheat on his fee. 😂😂😂😂

There are great content on the code base. Especially the library sections. Like best part of the code base.
