Magix you advised not trading during HIN, and also for those few mins when the broker time changes to the following day.

Do you think perhaps adding a news filter input to not allow trades during news, and maybe a filter input that will not allow trades to be opened on the roll over could improve things?
Truth is like poetry. And most people f*cking hate poetry.

Definitely picking up and seeing the differences between Evolution and Revolution. Evolution is more aggressive and is holding more DD with fewer pairs than compared to Revolution. Evolution is running only 6 pairs with floating -$103, and Revolution is running 20 pairs with floating -$48, that's a big difference! I'm really impressed with how Revolution is holding down, and after this test, and after analyzing the pairs I think reducing the pairs and increasing the lot size could work very well.

I appreciate your input!

Have seen what you have in live tests and can say, you've definitely got a couple of decent ideas yourself!!

There's a little more that I think I could add to help save from over trading the day or the range of day to help minimize the DD, but would have to get it written in and tested.

Along with that, and along with what bullilulli said, we haven't really seen range yet.

Really...there is a very specific reason that I started after the 3rd week of January with another Grid Project...

For the last several years, after December 15th and before the end of week 3 of January...I don't trade nor run EAs on live money.

Learned some very expensive lessons...

All's quiet on the Western Front!

Typically speaking and because of market tendency coded into the trading logic, HIN and even the odd double hit on the daily roll, haven't made much of an impact on either Evolution or Revolution...that I've seen.

The biggest issues come when there is No NEWS.

When you take standard grid logic and most of the shit that people are playing with by way of automation...they are blind to trends and only look for triggers.

Read this a long time ago and has proven to be fairly true to date...

Traders can't Code.
Coders can't trade.

My logic is a lot of how I approach Live trade situations...so the fact that we see the success with both Evolution and Revolution is because they are trading, Like I DO.

I trade...but sure ain't that good with the Code...

Now...I obviously can't code in every specific candle or pattern that I work with...but I can adapt some restraint and logic into these to make them come fairly close to what I do.

That...and I focus on individual trade pairs that are working directionally...only during Active Sessions and keep close eyes on cross-correlating pairs.

I've tried to code some of this shit into EAs...little to no success and it takes a REALLY long time to test and see fail/weaknesses in logic.

In time...maybe a more selective play time...maybe a press filter...but those would be more specific for my individual testing than a broad spectrum trader for multiple pairs like we currently have in Evolution and Revolution.

The source code version on post 1 - it just the Engine that Evolution and Revolution work with.

Triggering and profit logic have been adapted to my specs.

I included this so that anybody with an idea and the ability to Copy n Paste - could work on their ideas, like I did, with mine.

Magix, I'm new in this thread and first of all many thanks for this EA. I have a question: I closed the EA's due to FOMC (no live trading), but EURUSD made another trade in EURUSD. Why?

No idea...

If you've disabled AutoTrading - no additional trades should be added.

I've never seen nor had this occurrence, where code logic could override control of the terminal.

This seems to be more terminal than code.

The logic is the same - No matter what you set this too.

Lot size shouldn't make a difference...as long as the account has sufficient funds and leverage to continue to trade.

We're all still learning...but DAMN!

Looking good, dude!

I didn't disable Auto Trading, but only disabled "life trading" in the settings of the EA. Isn't that enough? Does the EA finish the trade(s), if Auto Trading is enabled? What can happen, if the EA works during FOMC?

Same Answer...

To the best of my knowledge...disabled on live settings or disabled Autotrading if you see -> in the top right corner of the screen...no trades should be taken whether there are existing trades or not.

It's like trying to boil a pot of water on the stove if you haven't turned on the element...no matter how warm the water is when you started...it ain't going to come to a boil.

If there's any other information out there that I'm not aware of...please feel free to weigh in.

Hey Greg,

Welcome aboard.

Spread should make no difference. The pairs I have in test range from .4(ish) up to and as much as 6 pips during roll over.

We do have one member of our testing team that is working with metals and has even worked with Bitcoin...even with an ECN, I have to believe that spread is a little greater than 1-2 pips.

Additionally...profit is calculated on the sum total of spread, commissions and swap fees...so even when trades are carried over with a commission and fees...the EA knows to still monitor profit - when seeking an exit.

Look forward to seeing what you get in your testing!

I recommend you start testing on a DEMO account.

This is the only way you will get an idea of the risks involved.

Revolution is still in - Beta Testing Stages - and with a couple of mods, not ready for public release yet.

Check out the first post, you can see a list of all members trading for time frame - Mostly M1 charts.

I am looking for a RENKO trader for Revolution - but since we really don't have any consistent data...if you want to be in a beta test group for Revolution, let me know...set up a DEMO account with 2pip brick size and will get'r fired up!
