I have been busy and let optimizer run to play around with EJ. I know some of these ATR settings don't make sense because they will not trigger, but one can work off decent settings from this (there are many settings that produce similar results). ...

Okay so after some testing on multiple pairs, I must say that this EA is very pair dependent and it is highly unlikely that one setting or even range will work across multiple pairs. Of course, this is typical, hence the labor in trying to trade ...

Sample at fixed lots, will try EJ next image

Yen Trader

Does not work as well on NJ as GJ. It does not lose money, but NJ is very spikey whereas GJ likes to runs. Same settings on different pairs seems unlikely.

Yen Trader

Something odd going on. Testing on NJ and am getting too many trades. Will look further. I think it's this: The pip value is off for min max pips ATR.

Would be interesting to test this with no TP, just a trailing stop based on the ATR -- should work well to get some runners witha really high RR but lower WR in pairs that trend. Will try later

Yen Trader

One more, with straight TP/SL to confirm the theory. Excellent job Kahlil. Going to try on other pairs now, which will be the real test. image

Yen Trader

lol, good luck friend.

Yen Trader

Keep in mind that I am testing with a 1:1 RR at 3ATR on the D, which are classic safe settings. Looks like it has an edge.

Yen Trader

Now lets only take shorts during the above reversal with a fixed TP and SL. If our theory is correct, it should gain right: image Heck yeah. Seems pretty logical.

Yen Trader

For further effect, here is another test where we only use a fixed TP and SL. The equity gain stalls and reverses exactly when GJ reverses. Makes sense, right. image

Yen Trader

Here is a test of just longs. You can see the dip in equity when GJ reverses direction on D or W from long to short. image

Yen Trader

One can see if you only took longs when price was above the 200 sma and even only shorts below the 200 sma, the expert would have killed it. image

Yen Trader

So we know that GJ was trending up over most of my test window. Lets try a test over the last year when it was trending down and see what happens to the win % for shorts versus longs. Short win rate goes up of course, but long win rate is still ...

Yen Trader

Notice the dramatic difference in the win % for shorts versus longs.

Yen Trader

Fixed lots, it is a realistic looking curve over a decent window of varied market conditions. One can see that the period right before the recent run up would have been difficult to trade. image

Yen Trader

No, not with those settings, but it had a good start. Will run with fixed lots to get a better look.

Yen Trader

BTW,the above M15 test used time_frame=240 and atr_tf=1440
