I am yet to look in detail at what you are proposing but alarm bells starting ringing when you said Taiyakixz's inverse model didn't give you the results you are looking for. Are you sure by reversing the signals like you are suggesting (i.e. ...

My server is Gmt + 0 and to match his trades I needed to use 300 minute adjustment.

No it's the little letters they add on the end rather than a different name, I am with CitiFx Pro on their fee paying service (tighter spread but pay small fee per trade) so in this case the instrument is called GBPUSDctf

Ignore my message above worked it out. I did need to edit the statement.csv file so I could add a few letters onto the GBPUSD so that it matched my brokers instrument name. Thanks

Nubcake thanks again for the indi - I presume since I followed your instructions above and nothing happens when I drag the indi onto the chart that I need to wait until Sun/Mon for the market to be open so it gets a tick through correct?

I have just seen Nubcake has kindly uploaded his indi to import myfxbook history so thanks for that. Scalpeur in reference to your comment above just because your broker doesn't allow you to move fixed stops within a certain distance from the ...

Despite all being clueless none of us are stupid...there have to be enough of us focusing on this that we can solve what he is doing here. If the results are true then the method this EA is employing should be everyone's focus. I have never seen ...

Found a French site where they have been discussing this SL=TP system for some time url after running through google translate so I can understand what they are saying they seem to be deciding that the entries look a lot like those used in a Randy ...

Hi Jiva Are you sure that the .set file in the previous post was optimized over the 11/4/09-11/4/10 as if you look at my chart attached this is the same .set ran over 99% Dukascopy data from 1 Jan 09 - 27 Sep 10 (not right up to today as haven't ...

Pair suffixes If your criminal has a suffix to the pairs offered for trading you will have to add this to each of the pairs in the inputs screen - IBFX mini accounts for example, have 'm' appended to each pair. Make these additions and save the ...

The idea of posting idea's on these forums is you get to share from everyone's experiences and hopefully create something better. Over a week ago I pointed out that despite the initial results from Jiva looked good there was a flaw in the logic due ...

It is true it is easy to be fooled. However LONG dated backtests are valid as if you have a model that can function over the past 5+ years (and ideally as in Birts tests back 10yrs) then it becomes statistically impossible that you have curve fitted ...

Hi Jiva, I agree it is silly to discount something until you have tested it and that is why I stopped objecting - I have been observing while you discovered on your own what I have been pushing you towards. The fact that I can take one of your set ...

Hi Jiva, I understand the logic of the system and it is because of this that I am concerned. Yes by waiting for the series of sma's to all line up you will never be getting the start of a trend, always the mid part as you say. But given you are ...

I can understand how different sma settings better fit the market conditions. However I would like to be concentrating on WHY that is the case. Is it because the market gets more volatile i.e. ATR increases, etc. If we can find some rough link then ...

Optimizing — Hi Jiva, I agree v14 looks very promising BUT unfortunately when I run the same set file from Jan09 you can once again easily visually spot the period where you started your optimization from. This is using your .set file with a ...

I understand what you say but I think if you could find a reason why the variables need to change over time (something like their relationship to atr for example) then you could build this logic into the ea so they are dynamically reacting to market ...

MACD — I think the MT4 MACD is just missing one line. In it's originally devised form MACD should have a MACD and Signal line and then a histogram showing the spread between the two. Most MACD based trading logic (for example those strategies ...

They aren't really "rules" more common sense I think. If you think about trying to gauge how accurate your entries are then you want your SL and TP to INITIALLY be the same distance from the entry price. Personally I do think it is fine if you want ...

Exactly. Make sure when you are looking at macd you are using a decent macd indicator and not Mt4's in built one. See here for discussion forexfactory.com/showthread.php?t=69409
