.... Today marks the end of this first week of caseys challenge.... My trades, just 6 so far, are still open in the charts below....
The effort at using casey's challenge to construct an equity millipede is off to a slow start... just has 6 ft.... So I guess it is a equity sexipede.... works for me....

goals.... Build an equity millipede.... Not sure exactly what one looks like, so my definition will be 1000 open profitable trades at the same time....
Rules.... Transactions will be ea based so principles are in-coded.... Given casey's single rule of 'don't violate rules', this may simply mean in my case, do not manually disable the ea at anytime....
//--

to do list....
(1).... Produce in mq4, mq5's single position order management scheme.... This should allow appropriate trading the millipede's endings, which move against our open positions, rather than violate the nfa no hedge principle.... Using states based ibfx....
(2)... ______ ....

it is quite possible casey supposed the challenge to be for hard right edge manual traders just.... They're more inclined to violate rules so are more in demand of iron clad disicipline....
Fortunately, manual trading is beyond my abilities.... But laid back lamo ea traders still require disicipline.... We are able to break rules by disabling the ea or changing settings on a whim....
Can you really build an equity millipede rather than violate rules.... Likely not.... We have to be flexible as it stands to reason occasionally something out of the blue will look which may justify such an action....
Maybe a be flexilbe but not too flexible rule would be wise loop hole....

in any event, click the chart to get animation.... Till next week journal...h
