Inside Bar
Lost $133 last week. This week down another $289. It's kind of funny, since this robot has done so well when the others were performing poorly.
I suspect I need to revise the stop-loss and take-profit settings for this robot, perhaps even make them ATR based. If I get around to it, I shall run some back-tests with optimization. Still have a reasonable amount of hope for this robot to perform somewhat adequately.
Balance is $4535.
Pending Reversal Candle
This robot seems to make money in the weeks when the Inside Bar loses. It's almost comical. After several losing weeks, I was about to give up hope, but last week it made $166. This week it's up another $185. I'm reasonably satisfied with the stop-loss and take-profit settings for this robot, but may run it through the back-test optimizer anyway. Balance is $5177.
Weekly Breakout 2
$465 down last week. A promising system which I kept meddling with, closing trades early and adjust stop-losses too tightly. This week I left it alone. It was an exceptional week for the Forex market, and thankfully this robot captured the breakouts perfectly, and made $906 profit in 4 trades, after losing $220 earlier in the week. Balance is $5538.
Daily Close Breakout
Down $497 last week before I switched it to the 4 hour time-frame (but then forgot to restart it until the end of the week). It performed OK, but then again this was a difficult week not to make money in as pips were raining from the sky. Closed the week up $243. Balance is $4229.
Open-Close Bot H4
Several weeks of losses, last week giving up $563, and this week despite the strong trend and the trend following nature of this robot, still lost another $184.
This robot is not able to capture breakouts, and gets messed up in consolidation. Still, it's interesting to see how it performed. Almost all of my older robots are based on trend following.

So there we have it. A lot of movement in the market this week, the break-out based robots performing as expected and capturing profit, a couple with mixed results, and the trend-following system still taking a beating despite a trend developing.
