Account Balance for the ArbCalc

[SVP]

Currently validating minimum balances to use the ArbCalc without
riskign a margin call.

1. $100 is too little, only one trade was accepted of three, one close
out immediately with a loss, the third not accepted for not enough
money.

2. $250, all three trades accepted, testing in progress, post the
results later.

[SVP]

Also had an account with $500 .

Results of the $250 depleted the account, thus $250 is too little for
a succesful trinagular arbitrage trade

However, $500 initial balance permitted the three trades and closed
out in 20 minutes yielding a gain of $35. An account with $500 may be
the minimum
recommended aaccount balance to trade a single triangular arbitrage
trade, that is 3 ccy pairs.

A $1000 account balance is the preferred account.

Live testing coming....

Mt4connectivity fails when I try to run Arb calc, but it works fine
with raptor

[SVP]

What error are you getting? What steps are you performing that causes
the connection to fail?

Thanks,

This means that the Broker does not support that currency. Unlike FRF,
4-REX, FXNewsHunter, FXTrafiker, where you would attached
the EA to the currency chart that you want to trade, the ArbCalc uses
3 currency pairs. ArbCalc does not have the requirement to
attached to only the curency trading as you will send 3 different
currency pairs. Each time you attached the ArbCalc EA to a different
you
create a separate session with a unique Magic Number. It is this magic
number that the algorithm uses to distinquish when the selected
arbitrage
combinations have breached the minimum profit set. The ArbCalc obtains
the quotes via MT4 DDE communication and when the broker does not
offer a currency selected, there is no DDE communication for that
currency pair.

There is no easy way to only provide the currencies selected by the
broker, so all currencies were provided (after registration) that were
identified in the Triangular Arbitrage page and in the help dialog on
the ArbCalc.

What I do before opening the ArbCalc is list the currencies on the
Market Watch panel of MT4 and identified the possible arbitrage
combinations listed in the
arbiotrage combination list. Then I keep this llist next to my trading
station when making my selections.

I will update the manual with this information above.

Hi, I guess the problem arises becuse i do not have cadjoy on my platform. But all I see is is USDCAD, CADJPY next and USDJPY Last, how to include other pairs?

[SVP]

Register or create a test account with InterbankFX, FXDD or Forex.com
has those pairs.

[Shiva FX]

I have been using Interbank fx How to include other pairs?

[SVP]

By registering from the ArbCalc dialog. You may want to wait until my
live testing is
complete as updates are forthcoming.

Okay, thank you.
