Before we get started I think it is best right now for you all wait until the weekend before connecting to the new copier. On Friday I will send you an update and to take a look at the current tests we are running. And then over the weekend you can connect and be ready to go on Monday.
This is a video recap of the note below:
I did some expanding today and have added the following instances to the platform.
We have the instance explained in the video Major updates to Calculated Returns named here as Instance 1.

These are the variations of Calculated Returns I am running.
I am running each of those instances on separate accounts to test out what are the best settings for us.
Good news. Instance 5 overnight looking awesome.
My money was on instance 5 performing best. Why? Because it is using a mixture of the USD pairs (& JPY) and non USD pairs. The USD pairs and non USD pairs tend to perform with an adverse correlation. By utilizing the best time for each of these set of pairs to run and with a favorable risk to reward I think it sets us up nicely for the strategy to run. Also, it kinda hedges us on days when one set (USD or non USD) performs better than the other.
That is not to say this are the most ideal settings (best set of pairs). Or an improvement of instance 5 such as adding into this mix an adverse risk to rewards trades between 11:00-14:59 (like how I clarified the time now).
Now that is only one day. Nothing to be too excited about. But in making the updated it is definitely the settings I thought would perform best. And we are not looking for 3-5% a day. An average gain of 1% would be outstandingly amazing and average gain of 0.5% would be a super great success.
