Salve a tutti,

I’m finally back home and already back to work coding the ideas I had during those days of vacation.

Soon I’ll release Crescendo MM(a)XI edition (MMXI is 2011 in roman number) with a few important improvements. In the next days I’ll start publishing something so that you can be updated on that.

But let me recap a little Crescendo’s 2010 Live account performances:

Gain: +175.12% (+13937.42$ or 13260.6 pips!)

Total Trades: 497 (382 profitable  or 77%)
Profit Factor: 2.41

Month by month Profit:

Feb 2010: 6.06% (from the 22nd)
Mar 2010: 20.80%
Apr 2010: 21.92%
May 2010: 27.54%
Jun 2010: 19.44%
Jul 2010: 16.96%
Aug 2010: 8.99%
Sep 2010: 12.18%
Oct 2010: 11.30%
Nov 2010: 18.01%
Dec 2010: 11.93%

Monthly average: 15.79%
Daily average: 0.53%

This is what we’ve done this year. I’m sure that next year will be even better.

So Happy New Year to all the Crescendinos and may the 2011 be the most profitable year ever!

Buon Anno,
Andrea

A quick post just to say that I’m about to leave for one week but I’ll be online a few hours a day to try to answer some of the most urgent comments and emails.

I’m about to leave now in a very few hours. Later today I’ll reply to some of the comments that I red this morning.

I agree with those saying that I should keep things separated. Sincerely I didn’t expect suck a feedback. I’m trying to organize for keeping this blog dedicated to Crescendo and have something else for more general discussions about automatic trading with reviews, etc. As soon as I came back from holidays I’ll start a new blog with more general discussions. That for now. And thinking about the forum. There are pros and cons and for now the cons are still more But I’m working on a new project that will surely need a forum section and hopefully I’ll start it in the very next few months. Can’t say much about that but I’m sure that you’ll love it.

Thanks again for your trust in me and in what I do. It’s a great gift and I hope to be worth it every day

Merry Christmas And Happy New Year to you and your families
… Buon Natale e Felice Anno nuovo!

Andrea

Salve a tutti,
here are a few FAQs that can help you solve your problems with Leo Trader:

My Leo Trader keeps crashing
Going back and changing the inputs seems to upset it but removing it from the chart then reattaching should be trouble-free. The EA runs in an infinite loop and when you break the loop with F7, MT4 doesn’t seem to treat things the same way as when removing and reattaching – no idea why that should be though.

Crashes can also be due to the fact that you are applying it to more that one chart per CB receipt.

My Leo Trader does not authenticate
same answer… remove and reapply making sure that you putted the CB Code in the “ReceiptCode” option field.

What do risk, MinLotSize, MaxLotSize and Equity limit settings mean
Risk sets the lot size or the equity percentage used to open orders. If you set it to a value higher than 0 it’ll use that lot size (for example 0.07 lots).

If you set risk to a value lower than 0 (like -5) that means use a N% of the equity (if you set it to -5 it’ll use 5% of the equity).

The MinLotSize and MaxLotSize lot are used in case risk is < 0 and the lot size is calculated automatically.

EquityLimit… when equity drops below the specified % level (Ex. 30), the system won’t open new trades.

How can I buy the Leo Trader Pro for USDCHF/USDJPY?
Here’s the link: http://www.leotraderpro.com/LeoTraderUJ.php

Do I have to apply Leo Trader to all the pairs traded or only one time for each receipt?
YOU SHOULD APPLY IT ONLY ONE TIME FOR EACH RECEIPT. SO FOR TRADING EURUSD/GBPUSD OPEN JUST ONE EURUSD CHART USING THE FIRST CB RECEIPT NUMBER.

FOR THE ADDITIONAL USDJPY/USCHF OPEN JUST ONE USDJPY AND APPLY TO IT WITH THE OTHER CB RECEIPT.

Do I have to apply it to a specific time frame?

No the time frame is not important. You can apply to any time frame.

… more FAQs will come.

Ciao,

Finally, the time has come. We talked about neural networks and how they can be used to develop automatic trading strategies. We had the chance to see a live account trading the latest, and so far, the most successful one.

A presto,

Salve a tutti,

in the past I’ve been asked if it’s is my intention to port Crescendo to other platforms. The answer is Yes.

The platforms I’m thinking about are FXCM’s Strategy Tester, Dukascopy’s JForex and naturally MetaTrader 5.

It’ll take a little time so probably the ported versions will see the light only in the first months of next year. Fortunately I got a few friends that are experts on those platforms that will help me in that so the process should be faster that having to learn in depth them all. But as I know myself I know that I won’t say that a new platform version can be released until I’ll have 100% the control and understanding of it

Anyway… for those of you using JForex (Dukascopy’s platform) there’s a short way to do that while you wait for me to port to it: the MT4/JForex Clients Bridge.

What you have to do is install a software that bridges MT4 with Crescendo installed to the JForex platform. So every trade sent on the MT4 platform is then replicated into the JForex one. I tested myself and it works very well once you’ve done the initial setup. Also performances can be even better considering that spread are lower on Dukascopy than on the average MT4 broker.

The setup process is not very easy, but very well documented. Here’s a list of resources to refer to learn the whole process.

The whole process with software needed to be installed is detailed here:

You can also find a video tutorial here:

and the second part here:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Va_L5-THqEA

This can be a solution with those of you that want to run it on their Dukascopy account while waiting to have a JForex “native” version of it.

I have to thanks Paolo for giving me such informations and helping me with JForex. An also Jean-Marc for a lot of things and FXCM Strategy Tester stuff. MQL5 I have to learn myself
