Exit Strat — Steinitz, we know the entry has good. Have you even considered using the attached file as your exit strategy, set to 3x ATR ? By eye, it seems to look very good at locking in those pips before you lose them. Van Tharp reckons you ...

I have attached it for you. It went short at 16:43, the HA spiked red on the 5min during that candle and then finally closed blue. So momentarily it was a valid entry ! But the 5 min HA did not close red until 16:50.

4xMaster, is this EA based on entry after Bar Close ? I think that is quite important, and I just got a short on 1m Cable even though the 5min bar closed blue.

Good work. I have one concern though, the moment you start to ptimise it, you are going down the road of curve fit. Never good, or at least not always. Only speaking from experience, but I would be inclined to concentrate on forward testing it ...

Got it working — Hi 4xMaster, Got the EA working. Trouble was I had too small account to run the MM settings I had, so it was reporting invalid lotsize. So I have it working and I will continue to test on a 1min Chart out of interest. Mind ...

Interesting indeed. Since it works rather like the confirmation of a breakout, purely on price volatility you would expect the volatility to confirm the direction of the trend if one is underway. Where I think VQ is good is that it can confirm the ...

Hi, Yep all that is fine. I have attached a screenshot for you. Thanks.

Hi 4xMaster, thanks for your efforts. I have attached it to a 1 min chart (Cable), and opened a 5 min, and a 15 min, just purely to test for entries and exits. However no entries as yet, even though I think there have been some valid entries. Do I ...

Just the default, although I beleive 5,3,1,2 has been popular !

Ineterstingly, it signalled the potential end of the short on cable on all three timeframes simultaneuously a few moments ago (15,30,60).

No it doesn't, to my knowledge, and if you set realtime to false, it only updates on Bar Close (which is my preference). Its a well filtered version of the Volatility Quality Index by Thomas Stridsman.

I'm loving this thread. Anyway, I have been looking at this system. It appears to me (unsurprisingly) that a lof of failed trades appear to be at times of either low volatility, or periods of poor 'volatility quality'. I wondered whether or not the ...

Exits — I definitely undertsand the entry mechanism and timeframe aspect of this strategy. I have a question though, mainly concerning the exit. I will use the 15min/30min/1H TF example. Once the 15min chart signals an entry, I will look for ...

Hi Steinitz, Thanks for your input, and explanation. A couple of questions if I may. 1) You refer to three timeframes, but largely for entry you reference two and use the third and longest timeframe for 'possible' exits. Have I understood that ...

Actually looking a little closely (speculating without the actual data), did the 5MA briefly go above the lower of the two longer term MA's and then back below it again ? Then if it did, that would be valid.

Hi Mikhail, Since that post, it did open a trade (eventually). Presumably you are specifying no. of pips as the distance, so the MA's would need to be 1 pip apart in my case, and 5 in yours ? I have checked the experts tab, no errors. Timeframe is ...

Mikhail, I didn't enter a recent trade on Cable with the new version. I can only assume looking at my settings that I have made a mistake with the MinCrossDistance parameter which I have set to 1.0 ? What exactly is that ? Its the only difference to ...

Mikhail, Thanks for your continued hard work, an in particular thanks for adding the MA as a stop loss, I think it may be of value. I'll continue to test. Rogerha

Thanks Mikhail, I figured I was doing something wrong !

Firstly, great work on this EA, I have been testing it now for a couple of days. I noticed one thing today however, maybe its a problem, maybe I have done something wrong. However since the EA trades the live cross of both the MA cross and the MACD ...
