How would you handle weekend with the EA if you were trading live. I choose to close all trades right before the close Friday and not to turn it back on till after the market opened again on Sunday. If I had left it on I would be losing money on ...

Inside Bar Trading Revisited

Are you using IBTrader.ex4 and not one of the other two. I'm not sure what the other two are and I know they don't do anything in the strategy tester.

How do you determine your Stop and Take profit on the longer time frames?

Inside Bar Trading Revisited

Running the EA as is the only pairs I have been able to get good long term results doing back test on are EUR/USD EUR/JPY GBP/USD EUR/GBP and then only if I set MinATR in the 170-200 range. I believe this maybe is because they are more actively ...

Inside Bar Trading Revisited

My Back test was flawed to some degree because I only used the same trades the strategy tester made. In real time if you eliminate one trade then the next trade may have come on a different IB and really changed the results drastically.

Inside Bar Trading Revisited

I did a small study on how only going long when above Pivot point and short when below Pivot point point would come out. I used the trades the strategy tester produced and a visual from Pivot Point on a chart to separate the trades and the results ...

These numbers make more sense for a true ATR as it is defined . Metatrader's ATR must be rear end weighted in order to climb as fast as it did on the U/J chart

Inside Bar Trading Revisited

I don't know exactly how ATR effects the EA but I just run it up to 175 and was able to get a lot better results. Below is a chart with the same settings as the one in post #176 except the ATR was set at 10 in that one.

Inside Bar Trading Revisited

Examining the live trades on the EUR/USD the last several day it seems like most of the bad trades were made on small setup bars that were less than 50 pips. When I run a back test for last year the EA performed a lot better during the last quarter ...

Inside Bar Trading Revisited

Just realized I screwed up that spread sheet and what I said may not have been true. Will back test over longer period of time and experiment with days also.

Can you tell us why you no longer have Pivot Points or the 89 SMA on your chart. But have added what looks like a 21 and 13 EMA?

Inside Bar Trading

I noticed while doing visual back test that if you wait for a new bar to advance in the same direction as setup bar then move back and retest the close of set bar then make your trade in same direction as setup bar you have a better chance of a ...

Will the EA need a magic number in order to work on more than 1 currency at a time?

Inside Bar Trading Revisited

Are you using the default settings on EA for the trades you posted? I have been running several back test on EUR/USD and had to set Min volume at 100 in order to pick up more trades. Using a HMA indicator set at 80 on a 4 hr chart but running EA on ...

New EA — Trade made on EUR/USD @16:40 FXDD time Sold 1 pip below previous close Closed at the closing price plus spread which was 1 pip better than the open price of new bar. Just did a Buy on GBP/USD at 1 pip plus spread above previous close ...

I'm not a coder either but I believe it is impossible to close a trade at the closing tick because you can't determine the close till after it happens. If you fix the stop trade time at 20:00 people on different platforms won't be able to adjust if ...

TimeFreedom — When I do back test all I see on the Results page are Buy side trades, no sell side. I checked and made sure EA was set for Long & Short.

TimeFreedom — Will the Stop loss and Take profit which are set to 0 in your EA over ride the Stop loss and Take profit as described in the rules?

I had a 89 SMA on the 30 min chart that I just happened to notice was moving up on the one min chart and for the last day that I tested. The long trades that day were a lot better than the short but I would not consider this enough of a test to make ...

My chart is a 1 minute bar and the whole chart represent one 30 minute bar. I'm just showing what happens in side the 30 minute bar. My results for the little bit of backing testing I have done seem to show that the worst trades are when the close ...
