ChicagoRob replied Jul 9, 2016Not bad - good to see a test on 99%. Can you run the same test on the default pairs?

ChicagoRob replied Jul 9, 2016You read my mind. Forward test begins at market open, Sunday. I expect total failure, but demos are free, so why not give it a shot?

ChicagoRob replied Jul 9, 2016I had some spare time, so I ran this backtest just for shits and giggles. $2K to $62K in three months. M15 signal on M1 chart. Latest version with fixed TS. Completely insane to watch in visual mode. 25% is the best MT4 can normally do on M1, so I'm ...

ChicagoRob replied Jul 8, 2016Got my first "Hedge Prohibited" journal entry last night. Only on my M5 demo, not the M15 demo.

ChicagoRob replied Jul 7, 2016H1 on M15 chart. Still running great. Good profit factor and low DD.

ChicagoRob replied Jul 7, 2016I only backtest to verify trading logic, which I also do in visual mode. My demo is still in the infant stage, but it's doing very well. I will continue to post my results, warts and all. Rob

ChicagoRob replied Jul 6, 2016I run the same inputs on M5 and M15. Returns are about the same for both charts, but M15 has less DD.

ChicagoRob replied Jul 5, 2016H1 EA input, on a M5 chart, with TS. Pretty much OOTB, except LookBackBars=2, and MaxOrders=5. I'm a U.S. trader, so the 50:1 leverage is something that has to be carefully considered, with regard to margin. I also had to cut my lot size from .1 to ...

ChicagoRob replied Jul 5, 2016I cut max orders to 5, due to margin percentage hitting pretty low numbers during trades. My demos did great last night, which yielded around 10% return. However, that was with max orders at 10, which pushed margin way too hard. So far, I'm liking ...

ChicagoRob replied Jul 4, 2016I'm using v.03, which doesn't have indicator options. I ran a bunch of backtests with, and without, a TS, and the tests run with a TS were far superior. YMMV.

ChicagoRob replied Jul 4, 2016It's fascinating to watch this EA in visual mode. I've attached some screen-shots that show extremely accurate entries, but I wonder if there isn't something else going on, here. The fact that I'm not getting very many stop-outs makes me wonder if ...
