Hi Z
Are you also keeping track of the filtered trades...to see if filtering is mostly a good or bad idea.

Hi Chris,

Yes I do keep a pretty descent track of the filtered trades too. Everything is on my spreadsheet and also in this journal, so I can go back and test different ideas. I think filtering trades is something that comes with experience too. e.g knowing the way particular currencies normally behave in certain market conditions. Something that a purely mechanical system will struggle to do.

If you have some ideas on filtering trades you would be most welcome to post them!

And just to confirm that the PIN has calculated exactly the same numbers as my manually entered spreadsheet.

Is the broker you use with EAX, have Sunday candles? How is it calculated when there are Sunday candles? My broker has, I think that's what makes our difference today.
Брокерът, който ползваш с EAX, има ли неделни свещи? Как се изчислява, когато има неделни свещи? Моят брокер има, мисля че от това идва и разликата ни днес.

No my broker doesn't use Sunday candles. I'm not sure if that would make a difference or not as we are only using the H1 timeframe. But we are definitely getting quite different signals. Are you using [close > previous.close] or, [close> open] ? I am using [close > previous.close]

Missing: GBPJPY SELL.

Extra pairs: AUDCAD sell, EURCAD sell.

Hi juraia and mrdfx

I think if we are getting different trading pairs, even though we are using the same [close > previous.close] setting, it must be because our brokers have slightly different close prices on some 1 hour candles. I suspect the first candle of the day could be different from broker to broker and this would be enough to make a difference to which pairs get traded. Not sure how this could be fixed unless we all had access to the same broker data.

I have attached a trade explorer to this thread to track the performance of the strategy using the EAX and PIN (Demo only)

I am still getting used to the EAX dashboard and thought I was setting a Basket TP of $44 and a Basket SL of $22, but it turns out I was setting Basket PL (which maybe means profit lock???) of $22, so the trades all closed after only 4 hours, but also in profit of $22 (168 pips). So still a good start.

Yes there must be a difference from the brokers as if we are using the same pin and setting, then in theory we should be getting the same pairs.

My broker server time is GMT +2, and uses NY close.

Anyhow today didn't go so well. It went as high as +110 but closed the day at -19.

I think the next step is working out an exit strategy so that we can capitalize on the max pips when it peaks.

It kind of sucks to have gone as high as +110 pips and then close in a loss.. Any ideas guys on a solid exit strategy?

Have you considered the fact that "most" days the market flips at the mid point of the European session and again at the mid point of US session

Just a thought...

I confirm. Makes a peak around 14-14:30 GMT. This is normal just before NY.

Today was an exceptional day for the strategy if left till close of trading day (EST 17:00). In my trade explorer (see attached to the top of the thread), the trades were closed early by the dashboard because I am still getting familiar with the settings. But if the trades were left to run, I would have had the best day yet.

CADJPY 146 pips
GBPJPY 254 pips
GBPNZD 84 pips
EURAUD -11 pips
EURGBP 26 pips

TOTAL 499 pips

I can say it has nothing to do with your couples. But if they give me positive results, it does not matter. Please, if you have the opportunity, drop the EAX and PIN with another broker who has a Sunday candle.

Once again quite a few discrepancies in the suggested pairs.

Zondervan what GMT server time is your broker, and do they use NY close as their end of day? Also what time do they start at the beginning of the week?

Results from today's trade using EAX dashboard and 10 Bar PIN

EURNZD 27.9 pips
GBPNZD 30.5 pips
NZDCAD 10.1 pips

TOTAL 68.5 pips

Still getting used to the dashboard. My computer turned off during the trading session, so basket TP did not happen. When I turned my computer on again I decided to just close the trades manually because I haven't figured out how and if the EAX will auto close the trades at the end of the trading day. But because auto trade was still active, it immediately opened the same 3 trades again!

So the explorer could look a lot better as NZD ended the day with some good employment figures so I missed out on a huge number of pips! But anyway still happy with the pairs chosen by the strategy.
