Social Trading Contest
I haven't been very successful so far in this contest, winning a single prize in four years. But after a long period of trial and error, I think I finally came up with something that seems to work. I finished 12th in August.

I ended up on 9th place in last week's c…

LATE FRIDAY AND SUNDAY OPEN

  • Friday NY sessions are not that volatile normally. If you only trade the NY sesson, take your day off
  • If you have orders open on Friday, it's wise to close them unless you are a position trader. You don't want to be caught by a big gap on Sunday open due to speculations or an unplanned high impact news event that occured during the weekend

GBPCAD TARGET ACHIEVED.

Hello traders this is Manoj89 , I am trading on supply and demand levels not using any indicator or oscillators I want to share one of my successful trade which is GBPCAD. I planned to BUY it because price was in demand level where demand exceed supply level and price also made new Higher High so it was high probability trade which was offering (1:2.8[b]) RISK REWARD which was good deal.See the chart before taken entry.

RESULT

Social Trading Contest - question about the rules

My previous post and Dukascopy's answer:
CommunitySupport 25 Jun
About ductus's result - it is not a bug. He indeed copied orders from nothernwave but their amount was changed by him before they were executed.
Today news provoke me to ask 2 questions to Dukascopy:
Could we consider that in Social Trading Contest changing the amount, SL and TP manually (what ductus did in May and June) is a legal strategy?
If the answer is yes, don't you think that Social Trading Contest is going to t…

Thank you for your observations. Such practice doesn't contradict with the current Rules but we are not OK with it. So most probably the next month will be launched with a bit modified Rules. Stay tuned

Trading is dangerous but a good trader if deprived

Dear Dukascopy Members,
My name is Kiran Karnati. I will tell you about my problem in this beautiful poem
Sun shines but the inhabitants exploit
Moon circumference the dwindling light
In the person there is a indwelling spirit
No one can deny the opportunity to any one
My Indians are awkward
They are awkward because they want their leader to come and beg in the streets
But do you know this leader if the need arises will be ready to die rather than Beg
My Indians are not prepared
But th…

interested Nihad
but it s on TOS mm  which programme language you use for ?

Nihad avatar
Nihad 13 Jan.

ForexSpeaker Glad so you find it. On TOS you can only ThinkScript,the language on TOS. ThinkScript has one pro and one. The pro is the its very very easy to learn,there I used it to create on the spot indicators (its called Studies on TOS) and  entry and exit signals (strategies). The con is you can use recursion (historical candles) only in the backtesting mode, you cannot deploy a strategy that uses recursion in LIVE mode.

ForexSpeaker Therefore, I only get the Pro of it by visualizing my trading logic, and then collect the pieces of logic on another.  Hope this answers your question

ForexSpeaker Am glad you are. My strategy is only possible with Genetics and Event-driven (functional)  programming, Genetics can be deployed on Java using JGAP, while Functional programming can be used in JAVA 8 Lambda expressions. This makes JAVA my ultimate choice, Dukascopy platforms are based on JAVA frameworks and they are on my top-10 tier 2 brokers, making them the ultimate choice for my algorithm trading, the reason am here in the first place.

Problem with Social Trading Contest

I want to address the following problem in Social trading contest:

- in my subscription to oscbox - the trader got margin call on 17th of June and he is flat from then. At this moment I had around 30K loss from this subscription. After that my loss started to grow to around 190K and from monday the trend rever…

And another question - if look at ductus profile in Social trading contest you could see that he earned 1473K from northernwave subscription and at the same time northernwave have 35K profit in Trader contest.

Is this some serious bug?

I can't confirm what you said about your subscriptions to Eltjon and oscbox, they are looks fine. Please double check

Thanks for your reply.
I checked again my subscriptions - 2 screenshots at 04:53 UTC this morning and at 06:01 UTC.
Despite that both providers were flat during this period the profit from Eltjon subscription was changed from 28,45K to 18,47K and the loss from oscbox subscription was changed from -31,57K to -23,19K.
