As usual, excellent content! How to resolve discrepancies related to instrument profit currency in sqx? For example, in sqx the usdjpy profits/losses are quoted in jpy, but in metatrader the profit of each trade is converted into the account currency, generating different results. My question is when I create a portfolio in SQX with different profit currencies instruments and end up adding bananas to oranges. Exists any solution for this?
ideally you want to normalize your system average trade, then your average trade should be close to each other in a single currency. lets say your average trade is $100 in system one, so now you play with your position sizing to make all other systems close to this number. this can only be done after the strategies have been vetted. P.S. not all systems can be used for position sizing.
I exported my EA to mt5 but when i try to drag it to the chart i have just the window with inputs but when i press OK the ea disappears from the chart….how can i solve that?
Are other EAs working properly? Arr you using same timeframe and session time? Honestly there are many things that can go wrong, best is to tackle one variable at a time until you find solution
Hi Mr Casey i would like to ask you please if it is possible to do some examples trading in short time frame maybe between 15 min to 1 hour maximum , the reason for that for persons like me with a certain age around 60 at least in my case i cant trade looking to 15 or 20 years ahead , hopefully with short time frame i can monitor the turn Over weekly and Monthly , the aim is not to get a millions but just for to enhance if it is possible a decent pension for the next five years , thank you very much in advance.Cheers.
Hello Khalid, despite all what you see on youtube, short time frame is a casino. you are basically trading noise. At the end of the day we all want to make money regardless of our age. robust strategies with high average trade tend to be on higher timeframe. There are many ways to increase the returns through portfolio (trading +5 strategies) or position sizing, but not short time frame.
Hi thanks for the insightful video. What is the issue caused with generating timeframes inside sqx? I use dukascopy data to generate hourly and daily bars as my mt4 server doesnt have a large history. THanks again for the video
the issue is very localized depending on data/broker you are using. if your strategies are porting with no issues, then there is nothing to worry about, but if you are facing issues, then use this video as a guide.
Thank you, I was expecting this video so long ago!! Very comprehensive.
Glad it was helpful!
Very good explanation. Thank you!
You are welcome!
very nice Mr Ali
Excellent breakdown Ali, thank you! Any BuildAlpha videos coming soon?
David does not provide a trial version of his software
Thank you very much Mr Casey really is very helpful just brilliant.
You're very welcome!
How do you use ninjatrade and stratquantx ? Is there more details in the xommunity
If you know how to program in NT then you can export SQX strategies in plain english and code it in NT
Thanks Ali. As always excellent video.
My pleasure!
Such a good video. Thank you for clearing this up. Please keep making videos about SQX. Maybe some Build Alpha videos soon?
That's the plan!

It would be nice to see some of your results from the strategies that you’ve implemented…
sure
But then the strategy/system you create and test will never be real.
I look at it as idea generation and the test in other platform like out os sample
