Salve a tutti,

after months of silence I’m finally back to write on the blogs.

I’m sorry about that but as many of you already know, there were things required most of my time and so I had to give them priority over all the rest.

The good news is that I’m back and that I can come back to focus on trading and developing again as that’s what I’m good in

First thing before going forward with the list of important things that I have to say, I’d like to thank all the people that wrote me during that period. I tryed to reply to all of you and you’ve been a great help and gave me the strength to come back now and continue what I started months ago.

So let’s start as time is shot and we have a loooot of things to say and most of all to do:

• Crescendo v1.4 update
  I released an updated beta version a few weeks ago to beta tester and they reported some bugs to be fixed. This version will be a free update for all Crescendo’s customers. I still have no exect date for the release but it should be very near as most of the things are ok.

• Crescendo v2.0 Ultimate
  This is a sort of spin-off from Crescendo. An evolution, with much sophisticated strategy and is going to be Crescendo’s future. I’ll focus on its development in the next months. It’ll be released a the same time as Crescendo v1.4 free update, but it won’t be free. But it’ll have a very special price for people that have a regular license of Crescendo. Remember that Crescendo v2.0 can do the same things as Crescendo v1.4 and much much more.

• Crescendo Localization
  I’ve been asked many times to localize Crescendo and I’m glad to tell you that I also started working on that. First version will be the “Italian” one and I’m sure you understand why. More languages coming in the next months. If you already have a licence, the localized version will be a free upgrade.

• Crescendo portings
  This is another of the thing that I’ve been asked many many times. Crescendo is about to be ported to JForex (Dukascopy) and to FXCM Strategy Trader. We’ll probably port only the “ultimate” version to them.

• PimpMyEA evolution
  Starting from this week there’ll be an updated list of EAs to live tested in the LiveEA section. Some are already trading since weeks and those new ones are some of those that I’m trading live in my personal accounts.
  We’ll also start the “members only” section with forum and “pimped” settings and versions of EAs.
  More things are coming and you’ll see a huge improve in PimpMyEA in the next months. That period has been good at least for thinking

• Review Of New EAs
  Some very good commercial EAs came out recently and I’m testing them both on live and demo acconts. After weeks/months of experience trading it I’m about to writ e a review on them so that you can decide if they can be good for your EA portfolio.

• Trading Strategy Section
  I’m about to start a section about trading strategies. Some typically used in manual trading and some in automatic trading. This is very important for two reasons: first, to understand what works in trading in general and what doesn’t. Second, to understand what works in automatic trading and what not and most importantly why. I’ll probably start with “divergences” and it is a quite common manual strategy that works but that it is very difficult to make it work when coding EAs. This section will be mainly dedicated to those of you that are interested in developing your own strategy and maybe code them (or pay someone to do that for you if you’re not able to do that). Maybe we’ll start a coding service as well… but it all depends on the time we’ll have to do that. We don’t want to sacrifice time for Crescendo and PimpMyEA to additional services.

• Development Of A Set Of Signal Services By PimpMyEA
  We had some new good idea for new trading system. When I say “we” I mean me and a very small group of traders/developers strictly working with me. The new things are very very good and we are all very excited. Some are manual strategies and some are automated so we think that the best way for now, will be realease them as a set of “PimpMyEA” signal services. We are testing them now and in the next weeks and months we’ll start publishing their results and performances so you’ll touch with hands how good they are.

• Development of new EAs
  We are already working in also taking some of those strategies into full EAs. Some are already EAs but we need to make them good for being “public” and some are manual strategies that we’ll try to adapt to an automatic approach. It’s not always ppossible but we’ll try to do that.

• Paolo Papa
  this is probably the most important news and is the main reason for coming back. I’m no longer alone in working on development and on PimpMyEA. Paolo is a very good trader and programmer, he’s Italian also but much better than me with english. He’s specialized in JForex programming but he’s very good in MQL4 as well. So starting from now he’ll be my alter ago. You’ll see me and Paolo working together 100% on everything (Crescendo included).
  There are other people I have around and that helped me in the past and are doing that now as well. Some are Crescendo’s users that are so good that I can consider them as “co-developer” at least for some of the new strategy ideas. Some are real friends that are near me since the very beginning. You’ll know more about them soon. The team is growing and that will guarantee that things won’t depend on me anymore and that you’ll always have someone you can rely on.

That’s all for now. I’m write a lot of things more in the next days as I have a lot of “backload” to take care of.. so be prepared

Thanks to everyone again.

Have a great Sunday and recharge.

A presto,
Andrea
