Evolution 1.1a is insane!!. Just taking the pips little by little and no loss yet. Like they say, little drops of water make the ocean. Thanks for this EA Magix! I set it up with ten pairs! call me crazy. LOL. What I did was to change the magic number for all of them before activating live trading and it works just fine. Picking trades for all the pairs. I see the account growing steadily. Just curious, what are those stretched out blue dotted lines. The Magic of Magix is an excellent invention.

Bit of a whippy London Session should make for an interesting rest of the week!

Looking good so far.

The chop continued...all pairs, throughout the day...

Glad I sat this shit out!

I'm on day 3 of a water fast...decided to do one ahead of April because I haven't been altogether good on my diet and decided to be a little more reactive for this month than proactive for the next...

Felt like total shit all fucking day...still do.

Fucking Detox Effect of this...by tomorrow, should be all good.
fingers crossed.

In spite of the whipsaw...Evolution 1.1a managed to keep pace, for the most part...taking small bites out of market where available and ended up accumulating a few more positions than we would see in a standard day...few more trades too...with a lot less profit.

This is due to the trend nature of Evolution...when trend flips, it looks for the quickest escape at profit instead of trying to take more meat off the bone.

All in all...Pretty fecking happy with how it made out...

$27 in the shitter, 26 total positions...and given the conservative nature of this beast, the size of the account and the fact that I have limited this test to my Magic 7...feel pretty confident that it will continue to excel, even at a better clip than it's predecessor.

Rock into close, you motherfucker!
Go Ev Go!

Bish, how are you going about the rinse and repeat process? Do you manually close trades at the end of the week? Or do you use another way?

I guess...also very notable...

From $2k in the stick a couple of short weeks back to less than $100 for the original Evolution.

Going over the trades...there's currently 54 in hold...nothing older than March 12th.

It just keeps getting better!

A little more stats on Evolution...

After 60 days in...
Profit Factor - 2...
Closed close to 5000 trades...

And still won 83% of those!!

Sure...we can lend some of this to market chop over the last 2 months...but if we did that, we'd also have to assume that it was just pure luck that it launched on the day it did...and had 60 perfect trading days following...

Magix I have a question. The default setting is 0.01, with a minimum profit close of $1.

Suppose I wanted to increase the lot size then I would also increase the minimum profit close as well so that I could increase the profit per trade correct?

Say for example I wanted to use 0.02 lots not 0.01, in that case I would increase the minimum profit close from $1 to $2 so then I would basically make 2X the default setting, am I correct?
Truth is like poetry. And most people f*cking hate poetry.

Actually...

That's a really good point...

The answer is yes...

But now that I've doubled the Original Evolution...account size is 100% greater than start...it would seem logical steps to double the lots and profits and see if it would double it again in 60 days...

Magix... when I backtest on the good period of time, I have alsos 80/85 % of wining rate. So it's depend in what type of volatility period you start your backtest///forwar test etc...

So for the moment, it's luck yes, because we don't have big volatility and trust me my frend... in this context, the big volatility will come for sure. Maybe in few month, but if you win 3 / 4 or even 7 month in a row, for losing the entire account in the 8 month, it's not very cool. And the past has already shown us that several types of movements can completely destroy the account.

If you test in real money, make many withdrawl !

To a certain extent...it's true, there was a little luck involved...

In the same way, I won't personally trade after December 15th and before the end of the 3rd week of January of the New Year...I did pick this time to launch the EA.

Part of this was due to the Close All Logic of TDA Hitting Stoploss on trades, by not having the logic to close out partial lots like the Evolution series does.

TDA...ran for 6 months.

Only stopped out, because there was a Stop Loss Value...

It's true, that we have no idea where the market is going...and really, all we can do is chip away directionally.

The Evolution 1.1a - I think this stands the best chance of all previous releases and not so much by the NN standards as will by profitability.

Make more, Draw has less of an impact on the overall account.

By spreading this out to multiple pairs that play by the rules...ie - Magic 7 - the absolute likelyhood of it being in jeopardy on all pairs at the same time is, I believe, greatly reduced.

Really, time will be the teller...

And...

For shitz n gigglez...

I did take mrdfx idea to double down with the original Evolution.

This will fuck with it some, forcing it to wait for larger closes on the original lot size...but should still be interesting.

Much the reason I don't encourage the use the Martingale factor...

But if you have the extra testing availability...

Giver a whirl.

That being said...maybe a longer TF or bigger Grid?

I have my personal trader - Rewritten last Week - that is still chugging along...even with all the crap today.

Honestly dude...

There's one fucking rule here.

No BACKTEST BULLSHIT!

You are free to test anything released...can't stop you, but you are no longer welcome.

Move along.

Magix, the answer is: non-sober, ignorant or just plain dumb......in saying that I'm cutting down on my own consumption for months so maybe I am not the right person to answer that question.

Anyway mate, initial thoughts on NN are that the EA is a diesel engine......chugs along slowly but very steady, DD is low etc, but of course you already know that.

It is very tempting to wack that thing on a live account with a conservative number of pairs.

Anyone else thinking about going live?

Hi @ Magix,

1. I have open orders that have passed the minimal profit close still running and not taking profit
2. I see pairs with lower values than the minimal profit close taking profit closing out

Any ideas why please?

mrdfx, as Magix said, has a very high probability of getting fucked up. Everything is very good, until the moment of trend change or very important news or whatever you think, which can affect the census, even for a short time. I was already testing him. But I, for example, changed two other values:

mrdfx, както каза Magix има много голяма вероятност да се прецакаш. Всичко е много добре, до момента на смяна на тренд или много важна новина или каквото се сетиш, което може да повлияе на цента, дори за кратко. Вече го тествах. Но аз например промених други две стойности:
