Sorry -- you didn't mention DAX. I assumed you meant other forex instruments. I guess the reason for my sarcastic remark is because you'll notice that about half the questions asked here could have been answered by the poster if they were willing to ...

My "Ultron" EA for GBPUSD H1 timeframe

Where did the data for the 100 different market conditions come from? The only market conditions that matter are the current ones, right? Why would someone use 100 market conditions that differed from the current one? Also, how would one know which ...

My "Ultron" EA for GBPUSD H1 timeframe

Yes -- a portfolio EA that includes many strategies but runs on a single chart. Very familiar with them -- see Forex Strategy Builder -- an excellent product ( url ). However, in the case of this EA, when you consider it takes MT4's strategy tester ...

My "Ultron" EA for GBPUSD H1 timeframe

Yes -- settings that make a difference should be exposed as input parameters. Some are, some currently are not. But that is like one line of code and slowly, slowly it's getting there. As far as "self discovery of best param to use" -- wow, that ...

My "Ultron" EA for GBPUSD H1 timeframe

@bzolmajd -- it was nice that you took the time to make additions -- but you re-wrote the entire EA in your own image. I was curious to look at the changes you made but when I diff'd your version against the previous it was impossible to see what ...

My "Ultron" EA for GBPUSD H1 timeframe

It doesn't make any difference how it traded 3 years ago -- you trade in the present (unless you have a time machine). No EA trades the same over long stretches of time. An EA uses indicators that are simple algebraic formulas with one constant ...

My "Ultron" EA for GBPUSD H1 timeframe

Me too -- though, perhaps I can shed some light. Most brokers's servers are set up for GMT+0 or GMT+2. From Googling I can see that Tickmill (@Pawel's broker) uses GMT+2. The chances are your broker also uses GMT+2 -- so, there is nothing you need ...

My "Ultron" EA for GBPUSD H1 timeframe

This is an interesting EA and it back-tests well -- however, a couple of points to be aware of: 1. The strategy only opens orders. The way that orders eventually get closed is via SL or TP. And this is fine -- however, it means that orders can and ...

My "Ultron" EA for GBPUSD H1 timeframe

"..fool you into thinking that I've made my EA 10x better" -- what are you talking about? The lot size does not affect the statistics -- or, at least shouldn't. However, many brokers do limit the maximum lot you can trade when opening a new ...

My "Ultron" EA for GBPUSD H1 timeframe

@Penguin -- please learn to read. I was responding to @CKobi's comment that the second version didn't work as well as the first. I diff'd the first and second versions and found that the hard-coded '10' was the problem. The fact that my code ...

My "Ultron" EA for GBPUSD H1 timeframe

@Pawel.Gawron -- the more I experiment with your EA the more intrigued I become. I've uploaded a modified version of the EA here: file A list of the changes I made: 1. Modified the format a bit to make it easier for me to understand the code -- ...

My "Ultron" EA for GBPUSD H1 timeframe

I know -- I've been developing EAs for a few years. If you read my post, the problem isn't with using 'input' but, rather, using a lot size of '10'. That is HUGE -- and some brokers won't permit a lot size that big -- hence, the EA doesn't trade.

My "Ultron" EA for GBPUSD H1 timeframe

Very nice -- thank you, Pawel.Gawron. Most of the EAs I download and test rarely perform as well as the author claims -- this one does. Given its simplicity -- really quite interesting... I noticed the same thing. After poking around I found it was ...

My "Ultron" EA for GBPUSD H1 timeframe

In the case of Export Advisors -- then "yes", of course, they behave differently in different time frames. An Expert Advisor is a simple algebraic formula where the indicator settings are equivalent to the constants in an algebraic formula. For a ...

Can there be a strategy that only works on particular timeframes?

I understand -- thanks for responding. As for "no long term TMS traders" -- I'm not so sure. It's really impossible to tell. Many people read posts, take what they need and move on. Also, since this is a public forum and no one owns TMS, then it is ...

Why would you even think or say something like that? Why not give the man the benefit of the doubt. He spent his last years generously trying to help traders. When you read his posts you can tell not only was he passionate about trading, but also ...

@Tekkies, @ Divergence, @ emmanuel7788, @others... This is has all been very entertaining -- thank, you. Several points: (1) The primary actors here have one thing in common -- they all greatly admire Big E. Even though they say bad things about one ...

Hi -- new subscriber -- interesting thread... I'm familiar with Renko and also a developer. I have an MT4 installation configured to use Strategy Tester so I can do a quick and dirty back test of Renko EAs that I'm working on. However when I try ...

Renko Trading Discussion

I'm not offended. And I don't want to ignore Emmanuel's posts because sometimes they are helpful. And he certainly deserves credit for helping to keep this thread going. But there is such a thing as excess, and I think all his charts are a ...

I've tried to -- but good luck trying to find them. Within an hour of posting mine gets buried 5 pages back. This is a good thread. I like it. I've learned a lot -- both from the questions and responses. I get tired looking at my own charts. Do I ...
