Back To Forex!

I’m so looking forward to start trading my favorite market of all time again, FOREX!  I have my many neural net models to update for sure but this time I’m going to test out some automated systems, aka robots, as well.

I’ll probably go back to trading the London market open using a breakout strategy if its still viable.  I like that strategy alot because I’m usually asleep when the trade is entered! LOL!

    Hey,

    While I understand the NN side of it- what do you use for automation of your NN models?

    ie If you’ve got a RapidMiner model, what sw do you use?

    Any suggestions?

    –Q

    Quarrel: In the past I used Rapidminer to build the NN Forex models and then generate my daily BUY/SELL signals. I would then plug in the orders by hand in bucket acct at Oanda.com.

    Now I’m looking for an automated forex NN system of sorts to that I can tweak to my specifications and have it do it automatically.

    Hi Tom,

    I’m doing exactly the same as you and going to create an automated trading system but based on Genetic Programming rather than ANN’s because you can learn more from it and it seems that there could be some evidence that GP is marginally more effective.

    Anyway, going back to the automation – many brokers e.g. FXCM and Alpari are offering access through MetaTrader which is a Windows fat client application. MetaTrader has this facility to plug in your own automated traders using it’s built in language MQL4 so this makes it fairly trivial to trade automatically with at least a few retail brokers.

    You can read my efforts on blog (link above), but I’ve previously used a similar method for index trading through spread betting (see http://andrewwhaley.blogspot.com) so I’m optimistic that it should produce some very good results.

    Anyway good luck with your NN’s and your automation.

    Andrew
