Platanero replied Aug 25, 2016Locked and loaded. Watching PA. Manual for me again. I will be refreshing to see when you drop the EA on the chart so I will know when to start.

Platanero replied Aug 25, 2016Yes, and in my case also something that follows FIFO rules. I will explore this option. I would not call myself a programmer but I know enough to be dangerous and can usually hack something into doing what I want it to.

Platanero replied Aug 25, 2016Question: Would there be value in trying to maximize winning cycles by trailing the market as long as it will yield profits instead of closing and starting a set of trades in the opposite direction?

Platanero replied Aug 25, 2016And if you start a cycle and this looks good but it turns out to be a long cycle and this eventually turns unfavorable, then that would be a good time to consider a higher Q value.

Platanero replied Aug 25, 2016Yes! One mistake I made early on was thinking that a higher Q would result in less but better signals. This is not the case as illustrated above. I experimented with M5 chars with Q as high as 750. Even there, DD can happen.

Platanero replied Aug 25, 2016It you start with higher Q values, it will take longer for trades to open if at all. If a cycle does open, it may be of higher range.

Platanero replied Aug 25, 2016I'm thinking there has to be more to it. The EA allows for one Q value for open and a separate one for closing. I have not tested that but it would seem to make sense to enter the desired values there. Perhaps there is a level of discretion ...

Platanero replied Aug 25, 2016Good morning.. Here is my guess from your previous comments. There may be more to it. A: Q goes higher to force positive outcomes. Open with low Q + close with High Q == positive trades

Platanero replied Aug 24, 2016Enjoy the next cycle. I will be calling it a night for now. I have been up since the last London open. But not tonight! Tonight I sleep and I will be back for the next Asian session. I cannot thank you enough for your all of your guidance ...

Platanero replied Aug 24, 2016Next time: I will wait and not rush to get in. Thank you for a great first trading session! I will be here every Asian session from now on. Of course, had I waited another few minutes I would have gotten that Q!
