Experiment 7a

This experiment took place from 7/18 through 7/22.  We set out to test the DMA versions in different operational modes.  It was supposed to go for two or three weeks, but towards the end of the first week, news of the latest greek rescue package prompted some losses.  I’ve always recognized that these EAs are susceptible to news events, and I thought it was about time to address this weakness.  Experiment 7b will be a continuation of 7a, but trading will be suppressed 2 hours before and after medium and high importance news events as defined by dailyfx.com.

The experiment was designed as follow:

Where:

A = Entry at PN>0.2, exit at SL/TP (2SD) or PN=0
B =  Entry at PN>0.2, exit at SL/TP (2SD) or PN=-0.2 (opposite entry)
C=   Entry at PN>0.2, exit at PN=-0.2 (opposite entry), no SL/TP

e = Positions will close (expire) 2 hours after entry if not closed for other triggers
n = Positions will only close from SL/TP or PN exit triggers.
