TurtleBook Mac OS
Hi, Just started using python. I can run simple python programs from the terminal in OS X. It says python version 2.6.1. I wanted to try turtle. Apr 26, 2021 If your Mac is using an earlier version of any Mac operating system, you should install the latest Apple software updates, which can include important security updates and updates for the apps that are installed by macOS, such as Safari, Books, Messages, Mail, Music, Calendar, and Photos.
If this helped, please comment, rate, and sub!
Hi, I will release one of my private EAs.
It's called Alpha9, it was developed from scratch, this EA is a pure trend following system, with not martingale or any cost averaging scheme, I spend hundred, if not thousand of hours developing, testing and optimizing this system from many months ago
It have 2 types of trade engines and 6 engines in total, each one use his own MagicNumber and Order comments to be easy to identify the origin of each order:
1 - Multitimeframe Trend following: There are 5 independent MTF engines, this type of engine use Multitimeframe Heiken Ashi Indicators to trade following the main trend, pretty similar to one controversial EA in the Commercial Section but with some subtle differences, This EA will enter the trade way before his commercial counterpart, and it also have filters to discard risky trades when the trend is not very well defined and properly place internal StopLoss on all trades.
More Info and the original idea about the MTF Engine is here: https://www.mql5.com/en/forum/176695 and the evolution or improvements using the Momentum Deviation concept is here: Alpha9 Improved MTF Engine
2- RSI-R2: This Engine don't trade frequently, but is extremely profitable in the long term, but only if you use the default low risk MM, it also have properly placed internal StopLoss. More info about the rules of this engine are here: Improved RSI-R2 Strategy
Again, This EA use internal Stops, All stops are properly placed at the MA 200 days, the point when traders will consider a major change in the long term Trend.
The Stops are somewhat wider, but they work better that way, and efficiently protect the account against major loss, This balance work only if you don't increase the MM to risky values. The default MM is the correct one to keep winners an losers trades on balance.
A combination of backtest on all pairs suggest that the EA have expectancy between -8% percent profit in the worst year to +79% in the best year, this is the result of 6 years of independent backtest on all pairs, and the combination of those results into one backtest each year.
On average the EA return 28% profit each year.
These are the most safe settings I was able to find. I think those results are good ones if we consider the safety of your deposit as first priority and the fact that this EA now have almost set and forget settings, its a low maintenance boring EA, you will not make millions overnight with this system, but your risk is definitely very low if your account is properly capitalized.
I will repeat again: with the current settings the system have a positive expectancy, with a very low risk.
There is also a equity stop set to protect 90% of the account if suddenly things went wrong on many pairs together and the MA 200 if too far away like when market accelerate to doing crazy trends and suddenly correct thousand of pips.
You need a minimum of $1k to trade this system on a mini account at IBFX, $10K to trade on a standard account at IBFX, $10K to trade at FXLQ and $100K to trade at one broker without micro lots like NF, and $10K to trade at FXDD with micro lots.
Let me post a description about trend following strategies to explain why we should be careful with the MM and to understand the pro and the dangers of this type of strategy.

Trend Following Trading Method - From Way of the Turtle Book page22 Author Curtis M Faith
In trend following, the trader attempts to capitalize on large price movements over the course of several months. Trend followers enter trades when markets are at historical highs or lows, sometimes buying dips or selling rallies within the main trend, and exit or reverse positions when a market reverse and sustain that movement for a few weeks.
Traders spend a lot of time developing methods to determine when a trend has begun and when has ended; however, ALL the approaches that are effective have very similar performance characteristics. Trend following generates excellent returns and has done consistently for as long as anyone has traded futures contracts, but it is not an easy strategy for most people to follow for several reasons.

Trend Following systems lose when trends reverse. A common expression that trend followers use is 'The trend is your friend until the end when it bends'
The bends at the end can be brutal both on your account and on your psyche.
Traders refer to these losing periods as drawdowns. Drawdowns usually begin after a trendy period ends, but they can continue for months when markets are choppy, and the trend-following strategies continue generating losing trades.
Drawdowns generally are measured in terms of both, their length (in days or months) and their extent (usually in percentage terms)
As general rule one can expect drawdowns for trend following systems to approach the level of returns. Thus, is a trend following system is expected to generate a 30 percent annual return, you can expect a losing period in which the account may drop 30 percent from its highs.
Trend following requires a relative large amount of money to trade using reasonable risk limits because of the large distance between the entry price and the stop loss price at which one would exit if the trade did not work out.
Trading a trend following strategy with too little money greatly increase the add of going bust.

The results of the last months forward testing appear to confirm the backtesting results.
Timeframes are hard coded, because that, the EA work on any Timeframe.
Install the VHF and Heiken Ashi indicators in your MT indicators folder.
Heiken Ashi indicators are well now for his extensive need of memory and CPU, because that, this EA demand a lot of resources, to make thing easy, go to MT Tools/options/charts/ and reduce 'Max Bars in Chart' to 1000 The EA don't need more than 1000 bars to do his calculations, it will save a lot of memory and CPU power.
I now consider the development finish. The end result is a Professional low risk, low maintenance, low profit, but long term profitable and safe system, and probably way better than some Commercial Systems available in TSD Commercial section.

At least this is the expectation under past and current market condition, nobody can predict if the market in the future will change enough to trash this system or if I did a bigger conceptual mistake in all the calculations or backtesting, I am human and I can do wrong things like anyone else.
If you want to use it live, do it at your risk, the most wise thing is forward test this system for many months or even years before go live.
Enjoy.

I've being trying to get ROS + turtlebot (Hydro) installed on my mac (running osx 10.10).ROS installed happily. However I am running into a few issues with compiling the turtlebot specific packages from source ( http://wiki.ros.org/turtlebot/Tutoria... ).
When I run:
I get the following errors:

As expected, continuing on with catkin-make doesn't work out too well.
How would I go about solving/getting arounds this? (I don't mind if its not a full blown answer, would at least like to be pointed in the right direction)
Also, just for reference, a somewhat similar question was asked quite a while back without that much success: http://answers.ros.org/question/89831...
