Hello Myrmica thanks for your post. I will share if some kind soul is willing to put this together for me. It is the opposite from other EA's of this type e.g. I am proposing to place a sell after an up day and a buy after a down day. A bit of ...

Hi Dezil, I am not fully up to speed with testing data etc. but I think there is a slight difference with the entry, please see charts below. The EA seems to set the entry approx. 7 or 8 pips later than my backtest entry position, and this would ...

Hello folks, I have put together a short 8min video of the method used to backtest this idea, as described in earlier posts. I hope the video adds something to what has already been written. (Be gentle with me - this is my first video upload and I ...

Hello, lucariga I am not sure if the criteria in the EA are exactly what I was using in my manual backtest so the results of the EA testing has been a little bit disappointing so far. Hopefully Dezil will confirm his EA settings and we can take it ...

Hello JayPipin, this could work although you would get into trades sooner and may encounter some resistance at the daily high/low. The idea with my method is to use the engulfing action of the daily engulf and the continuing momentum indicated by ...

Hello Dezil, thanks for your interest and work with the EA. This seems a little bit disappointing, given the manual backtest however, what period did you use, on which pairs, what rules for engulfing bar, SL position, did it make pips overall, etc? ...

Hello, boerseun, you have hit the pip exactly on the nose! The SL position versus the R:R ratio is always going to be at odds however for ease of calulation I used the wider SL for the backtest (obviously meaning a R:R of 1:1 and a bigger hit if the ...

Hello JayPipin and thanks for your post. This is good suggestion and I will have a look at the ATR. I haven't used this method on commodities but don't see any reason why not - just no experience of them. Having looked left on the XAU chart though ...

Hello Dezil, thank you for your post and I appreciate the question. I am going to give an answer that I don't like to get...............it depends! I think it is better if the trigger H4 close comes the day after the Daily engulfing, probably due to ...
