Jagz,

Testing ATR % today and getting some weird signal. The test is a tight SL of only 15% of ATR(10) - See settings attached.

I set Trail from Breakeven to false and I also set Breakeven Trigger (points) to zero because I wanted to activate the trail from the start of the trade. Breakeven Offset was also set to zero because I wanted to compare the visual line with the ATR indi.

Is this thinking wrong, because when I loaded the visualizer, I only had the TStart line and not the TLock line. I checked the GV's and found that there was no value for TLock?

I suspect I don't exactly understand the new Trigger/Offset options. I presumed the Breakeven Offset is the same as the previous version, right? Where whatever indi you choose, it will add - for example - 55 points. But then I don't quite understand the 'Trail by [or Indi Offset](points)'... Is this the old, simple points trail,or is this now the offset that gets added to the indi of choice?

What settings should I use if I want the trail to run without any breakeven or offset points and also start trailing immediately from the start of the trade?

Cheers,

Lee

Hi, the strategy itself is discussed here . There is no mandated exit ... up to you! e.g. could close the basket at a specific time (London Close, NY Close); set basket TP on profit trail in EAX; or use the Trailing Stop PIN.

Thnx Rushamg

For a 15% ATR trail, the only thing you have wrong is you need to set the Trail by [indi Offset] to 0. In Points mode this is your trail level. In ATR Mode, etc. it gets added to the indicator ... so the setup in your screenshot is actually 15%ATR+100.

However, since you have set Trail from Breakeven=false, you should get a TLock as soon as a trade is opened (in your case at 15%ATR+100). If that's not happening then something is wrong. I'll try your setup, see what I get.

Also, I did change the way that Breakeven works. TStart is always the calculated BE of the open trades. The PIN waits for the trigger level to be reached and then moves TLock to BE+Offset. It will then sit there until whatever trailing mode you have catches up and continues advancing the trail.

Thanks Jagz,

Something's fishy... I just took and experimental trade and noticed that the trailing value is exactly on the trade line - GV's confirmed it. Also, after a little profit, it did turn around and went through the Sell_TLock (which was on the trade price) and didn't give a close signal.

Sure enough, I found a couple of bugs in the Trailing Stop code. The first was causing the trail to jump to the BE price and stick there. The second was preventing the PIN from signalling in certain conditions. I've uploaded v1.07 (post #1) which seems to address these issues. Please give it a spin ...

Hi Jagzuk

The EAX 10 bar PIN is working great, thank you.

I was wondering if it were possible to add some sort of display of each currency pair and its expected and actual number of Bullish Bars for that day?? I think this would aid a lot in filtering pairs. Also it would be useful to assess different brokers data- to see where there are discrepancies between them.

You are welcome! Thank you for the strategy!!! Yes, I think that would be a help and I'll put it on my to do list.
Meanwhile, maybe this will help ... if you look in the Experts log tab at London Open time you will see the PIN's daily analysis ... note that a PIN value of 1=buy and 2=sell.

Hello Rush,
It's surprising you had trades today. Up till now, my has not taken any trades at all. Dont understand what is happening.
What time do you start trading?



I just put off "AUTO" It has been on all morning, from 07:00GMT

Are ADX 30-H1-H4 running or changing the default settings?

Open Monday with the opening of the Forex

continuing the test,

Thnx Jagz, will give it a go. Much appreciated.

Hello jagzuk! In connection with PIN JagzFX_EAX_10_BAR_v1_03 I want to ask. In my case, my broker is GMT time, London opens at 08:00 GMT. As far as I understand the first candle that is included in the calculations is 22:00 GMT from the previous day and the last (tenth candle) is at 07:00 GMT the next day.
Is this correct?
The picture shows that from Friday to Monday there are two unreal candles, just the broker fills the space. There are many GAPs. Also, my broker has the last candle at 21:00 GMT every Friday.
What is happening at this moment?
The other thing is if I want to trade at 7:00 GMT (Frankfurt opens), which is the first candle that comes in the calculations and which one is the last one?
If I want to trade at 11:00 GMT (One hour after London opens), again which candles will enter the calculations?
My idea is:
PIN 1 - Opens 07:00 GMT (Candles 21:00 GMT the previous day until 06:00 GMT)
PIN 2 - Opens 08:00 GMT (Candles 22:00 GMT previous day until 07:00 GMT)
PIN 3 - Opens 09:00 GMT (Candles 23:00 GMT the previous day until 08:00 GMT) and so on.
This opportunity is useful in that at any time you enter the market will calculate the last ten hours (the last ten candles). Ability to include or ignore Sunday candles. In EAX you can add a deal if in the next hour the signal is the same. I mean excluding an older candle and adding a new candle to the calculations.
Of course this is just one idea, but the market is not based only on the end of the New York Session. There are many key hours, such as the complete closure of the Asian session. Then Europe remains alone, and then America is involved.




Здравей jagzuk! Във връзка с PIN JagzFX_EAX_10_BAR_v1_03 искам да попитам. В моят случай брокерът ми е с GMT време, съответно Лондон отваря в 08:00 GMT. Доколкото разбрах първата свещ, която е включена в изчисленията е 22:00 GMT от предишният ден, а последната (десета свещ) е в 07:00 GMT на следващият ден.
Това правилно ли е?
От снимката се вижда, че от петък до понеделник има две нереални свещи, просто брокерът запълва пространството. Има много GAP. Също така брокерът ми има последна свещ в 21:00 GMT във всеки петък.
Какво се случва в този момент?
Другото нещо е, ако аз искам да търгувам в 7:00 GMT (Франкфурт отваря), коя е първата свещ, кото влиза в изчисленията и коя е последната?
Ако искам да търгувам в 11:00 GMT (Един час, след като Лондон е отворил), отново кои свещи ще влизат в изчисленията?
Моята идея е:
PIN 1 - Отваря 07:00 GMT (Свещи 21:00 GMT предишен ден до 06:00 GMT включително)
PIN 2 - Отваря 08:00 GMT (Свещи 22:00 GMT предишен ден до 07:00 GMT включително)
PIN 3 - Отваря 09:00 GMT (Свещи 23:00 GMT предишен ден до 08:00 GMT включително) и т.н.
Тази възможност е полезна с това, че по което и време да се включиш на пазара, ще изчисли последните десет часа (последните десет свещи). Възможност да се включат или да се игнорират неделните свещи. В EAX можеш да добавяш сделка, ако в следващият час сигналът е същият. Имам в предвид изключване на по-стара свещ и добавяне на по нова свещ в изчисленията.
Разбира се това е само една идея, но пазарът не се основава само на краят на Ню Йорк сесия. Има много ключови часове, като изцяло затваряне на Азиатска сесия. Тогава Европа остава сама, а след това се включва Америка.

Jagz,

Am I correct in assuming that if Trail From Breakeven is set to true, that there will be no SL/TS in place until the trigger level is reached? In other words, there is a TStart, but not a TLock before the Trigger level is reached? And if the trade direction reverses before the trigger is reached, there will be no PIN signal to close the trade?

If this is the case, will you please consider adding a small addition if Breakeven is set to True:
When the trade is made, immediately write a TLock value based on the selected trailing indicator, but don't let it trail. Just let it sit there until the BE trigger level is reached and then move it (as you've explained above) to BE+Offset....

I thought initially that this is how the new BE works with what you've explained above, but when I checked the GV's with BE set to true, I noticed there wasn't a TLock value to catch a sudden reverse.

Jagz,

Still a little bug somewhere.

Settings:


GV's:


Trade opened at 23:00:04 GMT last night but it didn't close at the TLock. Could it be something to do with the fact that it is the ATR indi and that the trade went through midnight? Although, I doubt it because my Broker time was 00:00:04 (GMT+1)...

UPDATE: EURJPY did the same thing just now. Maybe something to do with JPY pairs..?

same problem on eur/jpy nzd/jpy

Trailing Stop:

Yes, I found the bug on JPY pairs. About to fix that and also separate the Trail from start and Move to Breakeven logic.

Hi juraia. As you know, the Forex 10 bar strategy relies on having 10 bars up to London open. I have a large backlog so I am not going to be able to work on the problem with brokers that have other open times. Perhaps you could run EAX+PIN on a GMT+2 demo account and the copy the trades to you GMT0 account? There are free tools such as FX Blue Personal Trade Copier that can do this ... but you probably know that.
