The Hodgepodge Trading System

Hi krismitt,

First trade with v 2.

Long EJ 5 pip draw down before 9 pip profit ... that's the kind of performance that puts smiles on peoples faces.

COSMETIC ADJUSTMENT V2.0

EA and .set file for The Hodgepodge 2.0. Didn't like the "wording" of the Exit Conditions so I have changed them to make them more explicit.

In v2,0 they are:-

  1. Reversal Candle' and
  2. Reversal Signal

Quite confusing

In v2.0.1 these have been nominated as:-

  1. SMA Break; and
  2. Colour change

Nothing else has changed.

This EA has been inspired by a number of Traders and their systems as described in Post#1.

In one sense it is also an attempt to automate the very simple system that BigE (RIP) has left us. I do not intend to complicate this very simple trading method and there is not much else that I can see that will change, going forward. One missing element is the "look to your left" advice from him, to check on Support/resistance before entry. I will be thinking about this and how to create a Logic to do it effectively. In the meantime, the Inside bar higher time-frame check is meant to do this - particularly when trading the D1 Charts.

Trade well.

Hi krismitt, hope you are enjoying your weekend & thanks for all you are doing here!

I have downloaded the MTF MA Multi Pair Dashboard you attached but it is not displaying for me. Any ideas? Could it be that my ECN broker uses a suffix in the pair name? This is what I see on my charts... http://prntscr.com/fnuh2s

Thanks!

I did a wee bit of testing over the weekend.

My conclusions are that the first version of the EA is complete, as it is, for H4 Trading and that v 2.0 is better Suited for D1 Trading.

Trade well.

Here is the .set file for V2.0 GOLD on D1 Timeframe.

Individual Traders will need to perform their own back and forward testing to optimize for other currency pairs.

In the previous post the Inside Bar check was Disabled.

In this test the Inside Bar Higher Time-frame was Enabled.

It's really a matter of personal preference Dedetfx.

I have said in a previous post that I do like the idea of a Stop Loss to protect small and/or vulnerable accounts from the inevitable erratic market moves.

A stop loss is particularly helpful if you are on the wrong side of a trade in such circumstances.

Perhaps you could do some back-testing to see what works better for you?

Cheers and Trade well!

Hi Happy Traders....

I was kind of bored all day so I tried an experiment (it did so well I am trying it again 2 hours after LO).

I started from AUDCAD and went down the list opening a position in the direction of the Daily candle. The first time I banked over 300 pips.
This time it's working on getting there also ...

The real lazy way to trade, no news for 4 hours.... I'll close just before any reverse action starts.

Had that same problem when using "Auto Stoploss". Try setting to "Manual Stoploss" of 175 to take care of GBP crosses.
