Quoting TakisdDislikedI have the EA open, its short a/u e/u g/u. Now you see they are very negative. However will come down. The fact is, there has to be a way to get the dot PERFECTLY programmed on the EA.
This means it will go only on the final dot. However i cant think of the way.
The EA has only the problem of going very negative before positive. This can hurt if small account users use it. I thought about hedging but its not exactly my choice of trading so i avoid it.
The MA cross is too late.. The Dot is too early.. What can be used in between?Ignored
Your remarks are correct. I've tried several back scan scenarios to determine entry point. The v1.0e EA confirms that the previous bar (1 bar back) has changed signal from 2 Bars back. I tried v1.0f havings 2 bars back with same new trade signal and another EA with 3 bars back having same new trade signal. Everything I tried placed orders. Just that the 2 bars back placed fewer orders than 1 bar back and 3 bars back less than 2 bars back. In backtest the current v1.0e (1 bar back) out performed both 2 bars and 3 bars. It appeared that waiting for 2 bars or 3 bars with same signal, in many cases, got into the trade too late.
This week so far has been very slow due very slow trending pairs. On 2 demos, no orders have closed. I believe tlatomi method prefers moderate trending pairs. One demo is v1.0f trading dot to dot. The other is a new v2 that trades dot to dot plus 2nd order on MA cross (this was an idea from lietuve).
As I have said several times in this thread, I have doubts that a tlatomi method EA will ever be as good as the manual trading. Although, I do believe it is good enough to make profits automatically. Time will tell.
