DislikedHy dear Magix, I have 2 Questions: 1.) on top here, the trade explorer view, shows 2 different EAs. The lower one, the "TDI_TOE" is that our xmas_TDI? 2.) what is the top one in trade explorer, the "Christmas Next Gen". Is that our xsmasbot_2? Because the top one shows a much better Equity/Balance ratio ... {image}{image} I wish you and yours a nice weekend, DietmarIgnored
You are correct, the lower one is the TDI_TOE version that was released previously. It has been in test with the Next Gen for the same amount of time and yes, the graphs seem to show a nice tale of equity/balance.
The issue with the Next Gen is lot sizing. There is a lot more risk and without being able to provide accurate information on this, it is being tested by myself and a couple of others for improvements and to see if it can be throttled back a little better.
Both NextGen and TDI_MAX work with a different cost average logic. This logic doesn't know the meaning of restraint and can easily hop into a Standard lot size trade in the course of a single day. Feel free to visit the myfxbook link HERE (http://www.myfxbook.com/portfolio/xmas-next-gen/761893), and view the historical trades to see what I am talking about. I have worked with this ea for about the same amount of time I have worked with the SWB variants shared here and at the OBOS thread, and the MAX logic is a lot more dangerous to smaller accounts, thus my reason for holding it back.
Once I have input from my selected testers, a lot more information on how it will continue to act and react to market conditions and see if any changes will improve on this, I will forward this out to The Christmas Bot Thread Members.
I've had a couple of bad health days this week and have been a little restricted in my efforts, but with a couple of extra hands on deck, I will work on getting this ready for the New Year.
