The volume parameter does work. My mistake for not setting it high enough. Does not seem to effect the profit much at least in the way I was hoping for.

Volume — I have been trying to change the volume parameter to see what effect it would have on the EA but I get the same results no mater what I set it to. Should I see a point where if I raise it far enough trading should stop or at lease ...

I have been pretty successful since the addition of Min IB size. Since adding it on the 3rd I have missed several good trades but only had one bad one. One thing to be aware of is that the same setting do not work with different brokers and maybe ...

I think one of your problems with double entries and false entries may be that you are using indicators that work off of closing price. As the new bar develops they can change state several times as the price moves up and down and by the end of the ...

Would it be possible to put all the indicators used and the latest version of the EA all at the bottom of the first post and update them there each time a change is made. This would really help new comers. I just opened a new trade station and its ...

Limiting the Long trades to only buy if price was above Daily open and short only if price was below Daily open does not seem to improve the EA. It would appear that just the opposite could be true. EA without limits 1202 trades $122.35 profit EA ...

I don't have any data to prove otherwise but I see a lot of IB's that appear to break out for big gains in a counter trend. I will try to find a way to determine if the EA made better gains trading long only if above the daily open and short if ...

Min IB size — I did a spread sheet on EUR/JPY eliminating the small IB's today and the results show improvement similar to that of EUR/USD.

When I did the last percentage sheet I noticed there were only about 1100 IB's during that time frame but about 500 broke each side.

Using 1/2 hour data on EUR/USD for the past 8 months (more volatile that first half of last year) and going out 10 bars the percentages look a little better. 1629 total IB's 10% made 107 pips 20% 76 30% 60 40% 45 50% 36 60% 28 70% 21 80% 13 90% 7

I used a crude spread sheet. Took no consideration for smaller IB's that may have been inside of bigger ones. In that case the small IB breakout may have been 30 pips but the breakout of the larger one may have been only 10 pips. Have not been able ...

Min IB size — I just finished a Spread sheet on GBP/USD. The 8 month period tested showed a good size loss to start with. I was able to improve the loss but not make it turn a profit. To many trades were stopped out in the 100-120 pip range.

After I posted that spread sheet I added a column so I could get a graph and it looked a little smother than the ones you posted. I had Trail stop turned off and I wounder if that made a difference or maybe it was just a characteristic of the spread ...

I'm Working on GBP/USA now will take some time yet. Wondering if the fact we will be working with bigger IB,s, if putting a limit on the Stop Loss at maybe 60 or so pips might help cut the larger losses down. When I did the spread sheet I forgot to ...

I made a mistake in Post # 526. When you use a Min. Setup bar size with EUR/USD it does show an improvement. In the attached spread sheet rows 26 and 27 show the statistics for the EA by itself and what using a Min Setup Bar size would be. If you ...

Did not mean to imply there was anything wrong with your posts. I like your style of trading but do not have the time or patience to trade your way myself. Just hoping we can develop an EA that will trade successfully for us.
