SIAM Optimization Method – Analysis and Forecasting – January 18, 2024
hello!
All our systems are completely open and even multi-currency systems can create their own settings and go through optimization cycles.
We will try to describe all the main parameters affecting the results.
Since the system trades in gold, it is important to have low spreads from your broker. This allows you to accurately enter the market and, most importantly, close at a profit.
If the spread is too wide, large spread protection will be triggered.
Therefore, I always recommend checking which system suits your broker based on actual quotes.
The system has a powerful built-in news filter that is not activated by default.
If you are afraid of a big drop when strong news comes out and have no confidence in the broker, we recommend activating this feature.
To do this, simply press the NEWS ON button.
MQL does not allow slip adjustments.
For example, if the slippage is higher than usual, you cannot cancel the transaction and have no right to do so.
Only brokers can regulate these issues.
Slippage is when prices open worse than expected and profits close worse due to delays on the part of the broker.
Therefore, it is recommended to use a good broker.
You can also return a portion of your commission back to your broker account.
I previously wrote about this on my blog.
In general, I love writing blogs. This short article will help you better understand MQL and its complexities.
I’ll leave the URL on my blog in case anyone finds it useful!
I’d be happy to leave your comments or helpful criticism! thank you !
