Edit: Actually I just had the same problem mozhixing had. I didn't catch a screenshot though. When I restarted MT4 it placed the SL where it should have been. Also no modify error in the journal.

I agree with Alex8585 about taking profits I was thinking kind of the same watching Dave's CCI + Vol I kept thinking I'd probably take profit at every $5,000 gain or something on that line. As I've said a few posts back for me it's all about paying ...

My CCI+Vol didn't really take any beating, though it never did get the gains Dave's did. I was using my own optimization though so I'm sure the settings are different. Also Dave I like the idea of being able to adjust the risk % from 20% to lower as ...

I agree a little there needs to be some more explanation over each of the settings, which I believe he's working on right now. I think most of it explains itself though. The money management aspects are where I start to get a bit unsure of things. ...

I think the main problem is people want to be spoon fed by you, and they see the performance of your EA's and just want that. I see it as you've handed me the spoon I'll feed myself. I'll admit that I don't fully understand all the settings, but I ...

The entry signals would be the same, but the amount it enters with and how it's managed after that comes down to the money management settings. In my first reply I actually didn't correctly read what your problem was and didn't see the part with 52 ...

It's not the balance more so the money management. Like take the 2 screenshots below for example. They are the same exact settings/date but different account starting balances. You would think they would have the same number of trades but it works ...
- Shawn29 replied May 12, 2015
I would suggest maybe lowering your starting balance, or you have to re-optimize those sets for a larger starting balance. Like for example the CCI + Vol trade explorers in my profile starting at $500 and I optimized it for $500, if I test that same ...

Hey Dave I've been getting the error below when testing RSI and MACD on USDJPY. Doesn't seem to happen on other pairs. Also just want to add that I re-downloaded the data and the optimizer on the first page just to make sure I wasn't outdated on ...

You don't have to enable them if they bother you that much. Just uncheck those options and set it to 0.

If you read through the thread most of that has been answered allready. It seems like you're trying to find some holy grail setting that you probably never will find. The whole point of his EA, and Optimizer is to be flexible so you can adjust to ...

Hey Dave I noticed when you click through the Optimization results it shows the previous one you had selected. Not sure if that was intended or a bug so just throwing it out there. image image Also just a suggestion for the clear all selections, ...

Thanks Dave, that actually cleared up a few questions I had, and for some reason that made a lot more sense to me then what was in the help file. Anyways I liked the results from that 60 min test, but I noticed it did start to fizzle out at the end ...

Here's my latest optimization attempt on AUDUSD 60min using RSI with pivot points filter. I do have a concern with this one though. I noticed it set the takeprofit to 0, but I'm not using the ATR filters at all. Did a back test from sept to present ...
- Shawn29 replied Feb 27, 2015
I'll keep that in mind. The way I've been testing is running optimization at open prices to get a rough price, then I run that config in an every tick, and if the results show some promise I run an every tick optimization on that config. Then I test ...

I guess while I'm here, here's my latest optimization attempt. USDJPY 30 min using EMA Cross and EMA Price Event. Back tested to Oct 2014 to present. Results and set file below. image file
- Shawn29 replied Feb 26, 2015
I didn't even think of the bars ago in that fix, I just saw he had the EMAPriceEvent at 1 and the EMACross at 0.

mpope59 attached below i believe is what you were trying for. The results weren't good though on EURUSD 1 hour. Anyways you should read through the pdf on page 1 that might clear some things up for you.
- Shawn29 replied Feb 24, 2015
Edit: Removed the config since it was flawed as Dave pointed out. It was pretty much just going with the flow, so I got lucky was all. I'm currently running some new tests, trying out RSI and Stoch for this one, will post any good findings.
- Shawn29 replied Feb 23, 2015
Hey, just wanted to say thanks Dave C for the awesome EA. Sorry i can't really contribute more as I'm still pretty much a newbie to all this. One thing i can contribute though is set files i test out. So for my first one i have a EUR/USD 60 min that ...
