Z, I feel your pain, but we are here to help. Looking at your screenshot it appears your symbols have a pro suffix (e.g. XAUUSDpro. The PIN should pick up that suffix from the chart and apply it to all other symbols ... but maybe there is a bug on certain brokers. Who is your broker? Do your FX symbols have the same suffix as XAUUSD? Alternatively, do you have an account without the suffix - to test at least?

Hi jagzuk, I appreciate your help!

My broker is Halifax NZ

Yes all the pairs have the pro suffix

I downloaded your jagzFX_EAX_ADX PIN and it is giving me signals on PIN1

OK, I will double check the suffix handling. It is supposed to work the same as the ADX PIN ... apparently not!

Hi Z, posted an updated PIN here. There was definitely an issue with symbol suffixes, so this should fix that.

I still don't fully understand your filtering process. I'm looking at the pairs trying to see exactly why you filtered those specific pairs,but I can't see it.

NZD has 2 buy and 2 sells, but you filtered out 3 and kept 1 sell.
GBP has 3 buys and 1 sell, yet you kept the 1 sell and filtered out the 3 buys.
CAD has 3 buys and 1 sell, but all were filtered out.
EUR has 5 buys, but 1 was filtered.
JPY has 4 buys, but 3 were filtered.

I'm looking at the above, and trying to understand your reasoning behind your filtering process so I can learn it, and employ the same. Unfortunately its not possible to filter any of the trades on the dash.

Oh and buy EURGBP is not on my list.

Well today finished in a little profit.

It survived NFP, and was actually given a nice little boost from the NFP result. It hit a high of almost 200 pips and close for +83 pips.

And you're programming (... and you Brutus ...) when you start an indicator or an expert, set the specific settings you tested and then we'll get involved in the development of the system. If you expect us to make better adjustments, then we are the system owners.
Do not waste your time!

И ти програмисте (... и ти Бруте ...), когато даваш началото на индикатор или експерт, задай конкретни настройки, с които си тествал и тогава ние ще се включим в развитието на системата. Ако очакваш ние да дадем по-добри настройки, то ние сме собственици на системата.

I don't understand. You're referring to me or to Zondervan about his filtering?

Like you in post 130 you are interested in filtering it, that's probably the key to the tent. But today's DD, I do not know what testes you should have?

Thanks jagzuk, it works perfectly!!!!

I am looking forward to testing next week.

Was wondering if were possible to add a histogram (I think that's what it's called) to display the 'expected' and 'actual' numbers? We could then perhaps use the numbers to manually filter trades? What do you think?

Hi mrdfx,

I currently filter the pairs by using EURGBP and the XXXJPY pairs. (The reason for this is that they seem to be the most consistent winners so far)

Step 1> Look at EURGBP
If EURGBP is a buy that automatically filters any GBP buys.
If EURGBP is a sell that automatically filters any EUR buys
If EURGBP isn't a buy or sell then move onto step 2

Step 2> Look at the XXXJPY pairs.
If EURJPY is a buy, that filters out any EUR sells, If EURJPY is a sell, that filters out any EUR buys
If GBPJPY is a buy, that filters out any GBP sells, If GBPJPY is a sell, that filters out any GBP buys
If CADJPY is a buy, that filters out any CAD sells. If CADJPY is a sell, that filters out any CAD buys
If AUDJPY is a buy, that filters out any AUD sells. If AUDJPY is a sell, that filters out any AUD buys
If NZDJPY is a buy, that filters out any NZD sells, If NZDJPY is a sell, that filters out any NZD buys

However, sometimes things are a little more complicated. e.g On today's spreadsheet, EUR was strong across the board. Also both AUD and NZD were Sells against CAD. So even though NZDJPY was a buy, because it was sold against CAD, and EUR was strong across the board, I also sold it against the EUR e.g Buy EURNZD.

I know that's pretty complicated, but that is how I filtered them. I'm not sure if it's the best way to filter or not. Only time (or testing) will tell.

But thanks for your input, it is greatly appreciated! I'm sure over time this strategy could become quite profitable, especially if we can get the filtering right.
