Neptune for live trading

DRohde

Hi everybody, Has anyone had success updating Neptune for live trading? I have tried almost everything and it performs great during the entire optimization period, regardless of whether it is 6 months behind or 12 years, but as soon as I move outside the optimization period, it delivers really bad results both in the short and long term. Any good input?

Hi, Dennis, I would start by reading the Neptune handbook.

You will find that some of the currency pairs will perform well with fresh data, and some pairs will show poor results, the optimisation and backtest results are to simply improve your odds when you trade live. You will need to be an experienced trader to use automated trading systems to manage the trades opened by the cBot. I would not rely on any automated trading system in the retail markets to manage your trades 100%.

As this strategy uses trend indicators you may consider turning the cBot off during sideways movement and back on during trends, also, news events may cause trades to close at a loss, so its best to use the news event manager or manage your trades during high impact news events.
