Dislikedthe-game,
You're on the money for me. (Although not sure yet about pip step...) I agree with you.
Cutting out losers: .... sure its theory Low Profile - but that does not mean that it can't be fact.
The 'theory':
Why should taking out losing trades from the basket be any more effective on the net result than leaving them in... after all the EA is designed as it is since we are making the statement that we do not know the direction of the market and we will let the market decide which way it will go (weighted trade distribution). So why would...Ignored
DislikedTim, I agree with you, fully few days ago, today part of it. Because what I think and experienced is that during the huge dd brought by those big losers, the EA is still trading, which it react to the most recent trend according to "add to previous winner". so these new trades now help to reach pp, and experiment told that cutting big loser and add these new trade at same time tend to reach pp faster. and this is what makes the diff between the mod version and the pure version. I hope the worst situation come along soon, so I can see if this stand...Ignored
DislikedHi all,
I have noticed my EA trading against the trend for the E/J and U/J pairs.
You can see the outcome of this when MOST of the trades for these pairs close in a loss, sometimes in a relatively BIG loss.
[E/J: (13/21) 61.9% trades closed for loss, U/J (9/14) 64.29% trades closed for a loss]
E/U pair is currently a sell pair and agrees with the current E/U trend, so this is the only pair that has been working the best and 95% (38/40) of the trades made have been closing for a profit.
I'm thinking of adding in a trend filter to prevent...Ignored
Disliked2 things.
can you make sure you have the same EA thats posted here (i have updated that several times and each time i mentioned it here. but i didnt change it in last 24 hrs. pl check the timestamp).
when you have issues with the EA pl provide clear info on whats not working and also look at the Experts tab, it gives useful info on whats happening. for example, here you can see 5 trades being closed

DislikedUntill now i can say that the original EA s posted in first page works fantastic. The modifications/improvements suggested by many dont seem to be ok, but let us wait.
I only hope that the modifications will improve the performance and not spoil the fantastic EA created by Colliou.Ignored
Dislikedummmm... not sure if you realize what a jab some of those comments are....Ignored
DislikedThe only filters I would add to the original EA are as follows by priority:
1) PipStep
Most useful to prevent over-trading
2) Trade with the Trend
Again, most useful to prevent trading against the trend (if I can get it just right)
3) Trading Hours
A conservative filter allowing the EA to avoid opening a new trade sequence during hours considered outside normal trading hours.
[i]I personally don't use the Trading Hours filter as the PipStep is enough (if big enough) to filter out the chop during the Asian...Ignored
Dislikedgreat, gona try that when i get home, btw, the setting is default, then multiplier is 3, 4 works too, reason i chose 3 because 2 was too tight, doesn't perform well. dont know why, but i'll go for what the result tells me to. again, trial and error, now i have 4 platform running, 2 months later, I will choose the best two, and compete with this one u just posted, and after another 2 months, i'll be able to pick the best, and then go live with 3000$ USD. for 3 months, better if i could test it for one full year, experience both the quiet and volatile...Ignored

For now, I think we can't test one pair version yet.....Ignored

DislikedWhy do you think that if you could program you would do better than coders who are in this thread?
My "Spaniard" father taught me that with HUMILITY and work we can achieve everything and I think he is right.
Maybe here we are not the most intelligent, we do not know everything but we are excited and we work the best we know...
Sorry, I said before that I will never talk about anything unless the EA but I could not resist.....Ignored
DislikedNope not bright enough to code - wish i was, thats my problem. I trade a variety of instruments for a long time now and I wouldn't know where to even start to learn to code. I am sorry I come across with arrogance. It is honestly not my intention.
I won't trouble you any further.
thanks for the opportunity Caillou. i wish you good luck with your development.
