Forex Shocker – Updated Version 2.0
Posted by admin in Latest News, Product Launch on November 5th, 2009
Developers of Forex Shocker have launched an update 2.0!
Forex Shocker 2.0 has been vastly improved from version 1.1 in these ways:
1. The trading algorithm has been modified for much greater
profitability. Our backtests for this year show that Forex Shocker
2.0 has improved profits by a very significant percentage over the
previous version. Using the exact same money management setting of
“Aggressive” in our backtests, total net profits for 2009 were
increased in version 2.0 over version 1.1 by the following amounts:
EUR/USD 100%
GBP/USD 273%
USD/CAD 159%
USD/CHF 150%
EUR/CHF 346%
EUR/GBP 148%
2. Forex Shocker 2.0’s advanced Neural Network (NN) algorithm is now
coded inside a separate file called NN.dll which will take trades
according to the many variants of the market. This NN.dll file should
be placed in the same “libraries” folder as the shocker.dll (now
renamed Shocker2.dll).
3. One manner in which profitability was improved is through
implementing an optimized trade closing algorithm. If a trade is
taking too long to close, using optimized probabilities as coded in
the NN.dll file, Forex Shocker 2.0 may now close a trade for a small
loss or less profit instead of lingering and increasing the risk that
the trade hitting the stop loss.
4. Your broker’s GMT offset is now automatically calculated by Forex
Shocker 2.0 and users no longer have to input the “StartTime” and
“EndTime”.
5. Forex Shocker 2.0 now determines if your broker is using 4 digit
or 5 digit quotes automatically so users no longer have to use the
“IsFiveDigits” input.
6. Users no longer have to change the magic numbers for each pair
being traded.
7. There is a new external input called “TradesSlippage”, which is
set by default to 0. Users can modify this setting to 1 if they wish.
By changing the slippage setting to 1, users will allow trades to be
executed with a 1 pip maximum slippage. Because Forex Shocker 2.0 is
a scalper, the execution needs to be precise and a high amount of
slippage will only cause poor trades. It’s better to not execute a
trade when there is too much volatility. So we coded Forex Shocker so
that users cannot permit a higher degree of slippage than 1 pip.
8. The problem of OrderSend Error 131 (ERR_INVALID_TRADE_VOLUME) when
using money management for accounts under $980 has been fixed.
9. Forex Shocker 2.0 is now more user-friendly. The user need only
change the “Logic” input for each pair being traded:
If you’re trading EUR/USD, enter 1.
If you’re trading GBP/USD, enter 2.
If you’re trading USD/CHF, enter 3.
If you’re trading EUR/CHF, enter 4.
If you’re trading EUR/GBP, enter 5.
If you’re trading USD/CAD, enter 6.
