Hi All, Always look forward to new ideas from RR. Running tis latest EA on just 5 pairs for a couple of days and have a few active trades. My first thought is that it would be nice to see the prediction remain on the chart when an order it opened - ...

Forward Testing — Hi All, After a few months away from FF and autotraders I'm back forward testing a couple of EA's including this one. Will report back monthly as anything less is just noise. One question though - is there any way to tell ...

June Monthly Summary — Hi All, Here's my monthly summary on Alpari UK Live : 9 wins 1 loss ( 29.6.2010 - ran for 15 hours ). Total Pips +127 I could have manually cut losses on the losing trade when after 10 hours or so it just didnt look like ...

Yes this is exactly what I am doing as well. Infact I coded it into an autolots() routine where the lot size increments each time the max loss is covered by the ongoing profits x 2 . The lot resets to the minimum if we get a loss. Works well in back ...

I would think that checking the 200 ma as well as the 10 SMA would cut out a high %age of trades. However using 2 MA's of different periods is a good trend identifier. Maybe using 10sma & 25sma/ema might be worth a try. Many use Fast EMA over Slow ...

Have to say I found the original exist were working OK for me on 4H t/f. Are they still there in the original source? How about just a bool option to turn them on / off? BR WR

Testing & Enhancements — Testing going nicely at the moment - well in profit after 2 weeks running on 5 major pairs. But EA seems a bit stuck now with MAXOrders Open ( 5 ) but they are all just sitting there not doing much and currently ...

Hi All, One enhancement you may want to consider for next version that I have found beneficial in an EA I'm testing at the moment. When getting a long signal - rather than immediately opening a trade, put a BUYSTOP at the last Pivot High if this is ...

Hi All, Just popped it on a EURUSD 4H backtest and its looking good. Over the last year I have gradually moved to longer timeframes as it suits me better. I can manage 4h T/F while in full time employment : work & family.... Will start forward ...

Hi All, Havent posted much recently - mainly because I've been busy writing & testing my own EA. Its a trend following EA attempting to trade only in the direction of the long term trend. I find a 4h or daily EMA with period between 30 & 100 ( ...

Hi All, Always on the lookout for new EA's to try out and personal preference is longer T/Frames so have installed Mr Ed's system / Longbar's EA. I am forward testing with the optimised settings along with 3 other EA's - the THV EA and 2 of my own. ...

Me too. I was getting consistently good results on EURUSD M15 with the earlier version. I think the change happened when we went from single digit flags ( true / false ) to the 3 digit system ( eg 311 ) for entry & exits on closed bars. I just ...

I believe ADX is a % value normally somewhere between 15% & 60% indicating trend strength. I have been testing with values of about 25 which seems to filter out bad trades. 20 was too low & 30 too high ( M15 EURUSD ). Cheers WR

Hi, depends a bit on your timeframe but I find 1 week on m5 and 2 weeks on m15 sufficient to get an idea. Then I do a longer test 3 months ( overnight ). Then I pick the worst performing 2 weeks of that 3 months and try and tune that, Then rerun the ...

Hi All, Back from hols and now rerunning backtests on my sets files with v9. So far looks good. I posted some backtest results and sets files for M15 EURUSD a while ago on this thread. For me thats the best combiation but I will be looking at H1 t/f ...

v8 — Hi All, Been testing v8 and it seems to behave differently than v6 & v7 - at least for me. Here is a screen shot of trades in backtesting that I dont think it should have taken. I am on EURUSD M15 with : ePeriod1=15 ePeriod1Type=1 ...
