Not to mention, lastly...

6. The Default version of this EA is better than 90% of open market traders, probably better than 95% of Forexfactory traders...

Would be better if everybody knew if/when there was a deadline date.

The way I see it -- I would do 5$ for what you have presently released --- I would call it a hell of a deal

So count me in on what ever your going to do ultimately with the EA

Hi, Magix,

From images on page 1 i can see this ea to be similar to QLT (quantum london trading) eas. At least the part where you make multiple buy entries on down spikes and wait for price to go back up so that multiple orders average on positive side and you close in profit.
What i didn't like about QLT is that all EAs were built that when it opens sell grid it keeps opening sell positions until that single basket end in profit or kill account and in the meantime losing great amount of "short term" small grids that could end up being positive.

Me personally have tried to program this kind of EA that would open multiple grids on shorter term and close them on regular basis thus taking adventage of those opportunities but unfortunatelly MQL is pain in the ass and head to work on, and after some positive progress I gave it up.

Now when I saw the images I instantly remember my struggle with codes and how to organize different "baskets" and keep track of them, and nonsense with mql and arrays and cant pass array as function parameter and cant display any data with ease and aghhh i still hate it.

Since trend can be deadly for this type of EA, Ive tried to develop trend friendly ea that would follow same logic but with bias toward trend direction, but i couldnt detect trend properly and i ended up backtesting in trendy areas where it performed good.

Closing basket of orders on proper price seem to be challenging part as well. Most of the time when I close basket in profit looks like if i left it open for a little longer profit could be significantly higher (since basket consists of multiple orders).

Overall, i love the idea, and to me looks like great way to turn odds in your favor, will have deeper look into it tomorrow.

Great post, dude.

You seem to be overcomplicating things, but I admire your committment!

Look forward to seeing your analysis of the running EA.

This is one of the things selected code helps tp eliminate...

Most of the time when I close basket in profit looks like if i left it open for a little longer profit could be significantly higher (since basket consists of multiple orders)

We aren't looking for price nor specific movement...just looking for an opportunity to take profit in the same way we look for opportunity to take a trade or cost average.

Honestly, was thinking about the same range...

Really...for the number of copies that get downloaded and actually used, this would help immensely.

Keeping in mind, my first Christmas EA raised over $5k towards charity...a crowdfund doing the same would speed things up proportionally!

On the subject of health...

With Exception of Malnutrition, there is almost no disease that the human body can't cure by itself With the assistance of Fasting.

We chronically look for things to put into our bodies, pills and potions, when in fact all we need to do in a lot of cases, is take away everything!

Very Kewl Shit!

Agree, regular fasting is beneficial to our health.
Are you practising the regular fasting now?

Also forgot... 5. Anybody with $2k in their account can actually churn $250/wk with the ea posted at default.
It all depends on the triggering, I think, especially when using the original brainz as a core engine.
I'm trading it on a 1.2K demo account on one pair only, albeit on Renko, it's churning in profits, very small ones but keeps DD larger than the cumulative profits.
I think the 250$ may very well be dependent on the number of pairs thie EA is attached to.
You're running it on multiple pairs, what if there's a rally, even a short one but all over the board? On multiple pairs I can see this accumulating a bit of a DD before it manages to compensate.

Kicked off the year with a 4 day water fast followed by the Month of January, 1 Meal/day - Intermittent Fasting Program.

This helped shed about 20 pounds of the 70 total.

Plan on doing a 5 day water fast per quarter...just to keep things in check.

That's definitely part of the key - Number of pairs in trade for profitability and this is also definitely part of the risk.

The aim is - Reduce the Risk and watch for pairs that can add into the overall profitability.

I've always kept to core pairs - GBPUSD, GBPJPY, GBPAUD, EURUSD, EURJPY, EURAUD, AUDUSD as these seem to be the pairs that have a personality to play well in my sandboxes...but that's not to say that this logic cannot be expanded or kept inside of single pairs for smaller accounts and risk factor.

TMAV1 - went close to 6 months before accumulating trades and accumulated DD before hitting respective stop loss - $1000/pair - on 2 pairs - SAME DAY!

The idea of working with Voldemars CORE - is that it will take out the worst trade position in accumulate profits and will continue to take profit on smaller sets instead of waiting for all to close. This is a HUGE part of how this beast should work out better than all other predecessors as a set and forget...

Difference in the Traders...

The original version and the Lost_Sock_E version.

Same Pair in trade - I pulled them up on a Longer Time Frame to make viewing of the trades easier for reference.

The LSE version - Whittled away at the worst positions taken from the same date - January 31st and closed off in (from what I can see) 9 separate batches. This will have increased the profitability while reducing the risk by slowly killing off the deadwood. (Chart 1)

The original required total balance to be above zero for closing and ended up closing trades from January 31st today. (Chart 2)

Hi Magix

l am following your thread since few days... Have downloaded ea during the weekend now it is running...looking great on demo...l am agree for crowdfunding if ea is really viable live…

The only downside l can see until now is not drawdown itself but margin call...have already 23 trades running on 8 currencies...

Based on my broker live margin request...let's say an average 40$/trade/ ,01lot... 920$ might be on margin now against 44$ DD...

Are you really running it live? How do you manage margin then?
By the way thanks for your dedication…

This ea remains me this one by his behaviour : https://www.mql5.com/en/market/product/18475

l have tested it for months on demo...was amazing on paper money... But not realistic live...Because any never-ending trend would kill the account...If the DD it-self don't kill it... margin call will do because the increasing number of openned position over the time...Unless you have a very very large account…

Do believe that comment applies to yours too...

Let me know your opinion about this concern...

Have a nice day

Hey Ben,

I have and do run my traders on live funds - though I do have some manual interjections on Live where I trypically leave the Demo accounts play out 100% Auto (I like to see the difference in these).

I play with a few different accounts with my EAs - again - Not all have been published for public use - toggling between logic on some of these, others with a larger account size, will keep with the higher risk, while keeping some of my lower risk on smaller accounts. Currently, I am only trading with one broker 500:1. Margin requirements - since I've been playing with the latest few versions haven't exceeded $200 - while I have on my live accounts seen as high as $1200 in DD...yup...it gets up there...much the reason for working to improve the logic.

On one of my live accounts - overnight, I started playing with the Newest - unreleased version - Revolution. Given the market range overnight and due to filtering - it's only taken a fist full of trades, not a whole lot of profit, but pretty close to what is available on the TE HERE .

A basket of "My Order" was just closed, while DD was a bit too much to look at (not in terms of currency but percentage) this beast is banking up slowly but surely.
Man, I need to get a dedicated demo account for it so I can do better analysis on it, not sure the DD would be that much isolated from other trades I'm currently running on my demo account.

Anyways, I'm very pleased this one doesn't take entries blindly, I also like the closure of trades along the way, re-washing the Lost Sock(s) is turning into a very interesting idea come to life once you get to watch it do its work.

Since I'd like to run the EA head to head on both Renko and regular charts, can you confirm the MagicNumber in user settings is what's being used for both My Order and Lost Sock trades?


This is fun!

Missed changing one of the trade comments as I typically don't really look at this as my test accounts are dedicated...

What you will notice is that all long positions taken by LSE will have trade comment - Lost Sock, while Shorts should have trade comment - My order.

Magic Number is a user variable - Default - 69 - this is what your terminal will view when the logic is looking to close orders. Change the magic number between Renko and Non-Renko and you should be able to track these with myfxbook - I believe they still have order number tracking...

Straight up random post here - on Pushups!

Grinding these motherfuckers out daily, as mostly my primary and sometimes only workout of the day, ROCKS!

That being said...I fucking hated these when I first started...

Was going through these in the summer - Did my first 100 - took a number of tries to complete the whole 100 and for the next week, I could barely lift my arms!

w0wserz!

I picked up after another week - doing the wussy style/girl/knee or half pushups...was grinding these out and managed to get a little better at them and could complete 100 working back to back with pushups and crunches - would match push up to crunches until I would hit my 100...

Over the last few weeks, starting these back up, and probably because I've dropped considerable weight...they got to be a lot easier.

Part of this is due to the Fasting and Intermittent Fasting that I was doing.

When you fast - and if you are in a state of ketosis - one of the largest benefits is a MAJOR reduction in inflammation. Meaning...you don't feel the same pains for as long. Whether it be from physical activity or arthritic/wound-related issues - the pain is a lot less...

Anyways...

One of the other big things in my improvement for the pushup angle...is proper form.

I used to start in an upright position - body elevated. One of the biggest things I found from this is there is a lot of inconsistency when comes to where I would end up...sometimes hands were further ahead, sometimes behind...rarely did I get them exact from set to set...

So now...proper form...hands are supposed to be shoulder-width apart - I start off laying on my belly, placing my hands at my shoulders and use this as a primary start. Now that I've done this, more consistency and overall easier sets...

Not telling anybody to do this...more just a random thought to help cut up the day.

You sure can...

There are a couple of coding issues with the current version, that don't affect the performance.

Besides that, the default settings on the posted version is exactly what is trading in the attached TE on an M1 chart - No passwords, not expiry date - WIDE OPEN DEMO and LIVE account trading.

*Note - get familiar with the amount of DD for the size of account you would like to unleash this on, check out the trade stats in the attached Trade Explorer to see possible profitability - Note the broker used for Margin 500:1 - you do NOT need to have an account with Tickmill, just as long as your account is in the same or similar standings.

Thanks to Ben for raising the Account Margin concerns.
