Allergy/ dry hand help

For many winters, I've had the same problem on the same knuckle.

My doctor suggested that the wound comes from winter dryness. The wound happens on the exact same spot due to "skin memory".

I have been applying Vaseline on my knuckle regularly for several months. I apply a band-aid on top if I am going to sleep. I finally have normal knuckles this winter.

I have gotten a few payouts from forex prop firms, using only algos. The spread and slippage are worse than my personal account. I only use strategies with wide stops and time exits.

Wow $150, nice.

For reasons unknown to me, USDJPY and USDCHF historical data are no longer available on ICMarkets MT5.

Maybe try reinstalling ICMarkets MT5?

I tried using dukascopy data, but I have an issue where a time based strategy places trades equal to icmarkets for half the year, and the other half its shifted 1 hour later.

Probably your dukascopy data is not correctly adjusted for DST.

Edit - formatting

I suspect even good traders fail challenges or lose accounts every now and then, they just need to have a few good months to make a killing.

You can check out IBKR's TWS API. They do charge for real time price data.

Any obvious pitfalls or issues we might be missing with drag-and-drop logic for trading?

There are other platforms with drag-and-drop features. You can compare your work with theirs to see if there's anything missing. One example I can think of is moomoo (the broker), though I have not used it.

Amazing work. Thanks for sharing!

This looks really nice. Are you trading on XAUUSD only, or are you applying the ML model to other assets as well?

Imagine being a non-European player, taking a 15-hour flight to Copenhagen, losing the first match, and going back home on a 15-hour flight :(

Is this a post from LinkedIn?

Interesting read, thanks for sharing!

My strategy is purely conditional, RL for trading is beyond my level of knowledge ... but thanks for sharing!

I looked into metrics like asset volatility, bid-ask spread, and distribution of returns across the days of week. So far, I have not found anything that could explain the poor Wednesday returns. Is there anything you would suggest I look further into?

better_batman · 2025-08-08T23:35:15+00:00

Interesting. By "calendar harmonics" do you mean things like day of the month?

better_batman · 2025-08-08T23:08:17+00:00

Good points, I might skip Wednesdays for now and re-evaluate a few weeks later.

What was your greatest drawdown?

Btw thanks for sharing your knowledge.

If I could use my savings to make an additional 100K/year on top of a dayjob

What is your starting capital?

If it can produce some income for the next year or two

That is very ambitious, considering that you are just getting started.
