AA & AllAverages EAs

Nice little ea.
Looking for optimum settings.
Has options for:
1. times to trade
2. Initial stop, trailing stop (after break even) and take profit.
4. Multiple positions
5. 17 possible moving averages, entries and exits at change of slope.

My first attempt at coding. Free software by NoProgra helped although I still had to do some coding. Good way to learn. The NoProgra software is very educational.

Am running optimizer for 2 months prior to Monday open on EU 15 min.

Optimizing in 2 sessions.

First optimize settings for period and method.
Looking for small drawdown, less rather than more trades,

then optimize for start and end times.

Use the settings for the following week.

Optimize anew for each new week.

Screenshots show trades from optimization for 2 months prior.. Will see how it goes carrying those settings forward for the next week.

Back testing this walking forward technique worked quite well over several months.

Not optimizing for stop, trailing stop or profit at this point. So pure stop reverse. will add a 100 emergency stop loss, in case the ea malfunctions...

Optimizing needs to be done for each broker used. There are slight differences that can affect the parameters significantly.
Not sure how this works but downloaded historical data from MetaQuotes will be different from individual broker historical data.
So am thinking better to not download data. It may be that having the platform up and running for at least a few months without downloading from MetaQuotes the historical data will be the broker's data and more accurate for optimizing.
If we can use the words "accurate historical data" in the same sentence with mt4.

Using this technique I have optimized for 2 different brokers.
set up on demos, FXDD and AAAFX.

Something that cannot be overlooked is the time changes. For trading lower time frames according to market hours there will be a shift every six months by one hour.
2nd Sunday in march and 1st Sunday in November the clocks change.
Have made adjustments accordingly.
Will look for trades in a short time interval of 3 hours (Frankfurt open thru London open).

50 stop, 50 trailing stop, or exit with opposite signal.
89 lsma...(setting 6)
Graphs for back test (allowing for time changes) 3/13/11 to 11/6/11 and 11/6/11 to 3/11/12
