Disliked{quote} {quote} @abokwaik -- the suggestions were hand-waving based on zero evidence or test results. What I particularly didn't like was the post "without those option added a can see this blowing an account". In other words, without his suggestions the EA is useless -- which is BS. I don't know about you, but that statement would discourage me from giving it a try. The EA is a gift -- treat it as such.Ignored
I might agree with you that his suggestions weren't well-organized and might have looked discouraging, but notice that he was the first contributor suggesting some ideas (answering the OP request).
QuoteDislikedAs for your Strategy Tester Report -- is that suppose to be proof that the EA crashes? If so, you might consider going back to "Data Interpretation 101". After 609 trades spanning over 2 years the curve drops, right? Maybe, maybe not. It could be that your test just ran out of data and, so, the hedging came to an ungraceful end. You will need to look at the timestamps of the trades. It's not a coincidence that the drop occurs at the right-hand edge of the timecourse -- that's where your test runs out of data. And, seriously, you couldn't live with...
Rest assured that I have enough data. The EA is a simple dual inverse martingale grid, it fails on expanding spiral.
QuoteDislikedAnd this is your "suggestion"? The market can not be beaten using math only? What does that mean? What do you think an EA is? It's just simple algebra, and the last time I checked algebra was still considered math. And a price action "ingredient"? Come on -- what's that suppose to mean.
What I meant is it should consider the changes in the underlying price and adjust accordingly. A pure fixed math formula doesn't work for long.
QuoteDislikedEDIT: Oh -- I see you just started ignoring me. Oh well -- for a "red" badge I'd say you have a very low tolerance for having your feathers ruffled...
No guts, no glory
