Hi All, The Idea seems to be very similar to 7bit Anti-grid snowball EA ...
...I have experimented with this idea and programmed many many versions of EA based on alterations to the core idea of 7bit Anti-griding.
...I love it because it is tension free but this trading strategy has profitability flaws. The profit is not that much which can satisfy you mentally.
...It gives better results when you decide when and where to start the EA.
You're right I can confirm the same

Here some versions from me, Please dont ask for updates, tests etc.

{quote} TICTAC NUR Hi Buddy Thanks for this great EA, ive been useing this EA on Demo and back test With 0.02 lot size ,both buy and sell true, one Ea on 1h chart, profit target = £10 and it reaches tp every time , and in most cases makes £10 buy and £10 sell = £20 like in the graph below, i would like to ask one last favour, could you put an option as to when the take profit reaches its goal it closes the other side (buy or sell side down and deletes all pending) because this is where the DD is somtimes, not all the time but it can be and would...
Can you explain more detail what option you want it to have?
Currently if you choose to run BUY and SELL at the same time. When BUY reach TP.. BUY will open new virtual PO. It is same for SELL order.

If BUY reach TP first. SELL will be still on drawdown. Da you want it to close the sell open order with a loss?

i think close buy and sell with target $$ profit is good. if target $100, just calculate buy and sell profit to close all position in profit target

Hi Tictac-Nur,

So, the V2.0 can trade both sides simultaneously (when bpth the Sell and Buy are turned to TRUE/ON??? I mean not in turn, I mean simultaneously - I mean if it is not virtual, the EA would issue two First Orders of Sell 0.01 lot and another Buy order 0.01 lot immediately. Am I right Tictac-nur???

If I am right, then we are almost there, what I and Montego and jamco388 want is for the EA to calculate the overall position of ALL the opened trades (both Sell and buy orders) and when the preset TP say $100 is reached, the EA will close ALL of the opened trades - which obviously will involve some losing trades.

I hope you get what I mean.

But TicTac-nur, can we treat that as a separate EA because the existing EA is already VERY GOOD to serve the purpose of one cycle trade - where the two legs of Seller and Buyer ought to be kept separated.

Maybe we can call the new version Forex RM Pro v1.0.

just my two cents.

So you guys want to hybrid BUY and SELL strategy?
BUY and SELL working with each order and..
-All trade will be close when total buy + sell order profit reach universal TP / Trailing pip.. ?
  • #188
  • Apr 5, 2018 11:29pm Apr 5, 2018 11:29pm
YES, YES, YES Tictac-nur

But please do it as a separate EA - let's name it Forex RM Pro v1.0

Please don't do it as an option in the existing V2.0 - please keep V2.0 as it is for the purpose of one trade cycle (where the Buyer and the Seller must be kept separated).

Please keep V2.0 as it is, that is really what I wanted (and the reason for having started this thread).

Hope it's not too much to ask to code it as a separate EA!!!

Once again, Tictac-nur, thank you so much for your generosity

Philip -
here I give the EA with virtual first orders - meaning there is no actual first position in the market, but only internal in the EA;
also I see no reason why there be two pending orders, so I create only one per side.
Buy and sell sides run independently and also their profits run independently.
Initially both, buy, and sell, are set to true.

HI Tic Tac, thanks for your kindness and your reply, what Phillip is saying above is correct, also in my head dont know if Phillip agrees but after take profit the ea goes to sleep and we have to restart it to make it trade again, basically still have one cycle option, to avoid getting into trades we dont want to get into, thanks again Tic Tac awesome work !

Sorry guys, just came back,

I started another demo account 24 hours ago with another broker and tested Tictac-nur v2.0 EA on 9 pairs which were chosen from around 15 pairs (I did not go through the whole 23 pairs as I already got enough of candidates to test out the EA). Turned it on last night and barely looked at it. Just checked it around 30 mins ago - all 9 pairs traded and all 9 pairs ended in profit - 100% win rate. Here are the screen shots:

That is how this HIGHLY FlEXIBLE tool ought to be used. Do a simple analysis first and just choose the pairs which shows quite clearly where it will be heading in the next 24 hours.

Forgotten to mention that it it made $970.49 out of a $10,000 account - a return of almost 10% in 24 hours of stress free (did not even look at it) trading. All were set at one cycle trade.

Ha ha guys, running BOTH the Buyer and Seller WORKS!!! I had actually already done it and in fact, another coder coded an EA for me - the problem is I had named it differently that is why it was placed in another folder and I forgotten about it - please bear in mind that I had more than 30 EAs coded for me under different names and it was 7 years ago, its a bit difficult to remember what was the actual strategy employed behind each one of them.

Checking back on my correspondences with that coder at that material time reveals the fact that it was in fact, coded before the Forex RM v1.1 posted in this thread - the reason why a second coder was employed to do the project afresh was because the first coder gave up and disappeared without a trace (after having being fully paid) after having repeatedly failed to iron out the bugs. I will post the original write up of the idea given to the first coder, the bug-riddled EAs and a few of the back-test screen shots which I had saved. I hope by posting them here does not deviate our focus too much away from the original intention of this thread.

But then again, the intention and purpose of having started this thread had already been fulfilled. My post above (post 192) is conclusive proof of it.

Here are the files - but just bear in mind that the EAs are bug-riddled - and I would much prefer to wait for Tictac-nur version (of a combined Buyer & Seller EA) of it since her v2.0 is already (at least for now) functioning beautifully. Also one of the screen shot was very weird - I think it must be the bug and or some technical screwed up - as you can see that the EA turned a starting capital of $10K into $245,421.38 in less than 3 years (from 2009 to 2011).

I had named it D'Paraclete.

Digging deeper into all my old files and checking back on my correspondences with the second coder also reveals the fact that I had in fact, gone ahead and incorporated trend filters into the Forex RM EA and I had named it Forex RM Pro. There was no write up on this project as it was a follow up project from the Forex RM project. I will post the EAs here (seems to be bug free) and some of the screen shots of the back test which I had saved. The filter incorporated were the STOCH and I think 3 SMAs - as can be seen from the back test screen shots the simple filter incorporated is highly effect due to the flexible approach of the logic/strategy behind the EA.

Here are the files - please be aware that the EAs may still be riddled with bugs - I cannot remember whether the bugs were all removed.

Tictac-nur, as you can see that the theory works - so, take your time and code a perfect EA for us and I have no doubts that I could improve on the performance as shown by those screen shots by doing the following:

1. Trade only gbpjpy pair (gbpusd was used in the back test - which is really not a good choice)

2. Settings of 15 (SL); 30 (depth); 10 (depth in between sub orders) and NO SL. TP of $100.

3. Starting capital dependent on the lot size used. $1,000 in a micro/cent account is more than suffice (overkilled actually)

Tictac-nur, please code the values above as default values in the settings and also back test the EA on those settings.

Hi Montego,

I did for a few short weeks using the EA D'Paraclete (and later the Forex RM posted in this thread) but because of the bugs, I had stopped using it in my live account.

The truth of the matter is, although I came out with the idea, I was not fully aware at that material time of its full potential and my focus and attention was wrongly diverted to another EA which I thought was a better EA and with which I traded most of my live accounts (and suffered huge losses). At the height of my tradings, I had $250k in my live accounts. I was too impulsive and lacked the discipline - I would rather not get into it. The thing is, I have learned a bitter lesson and hope I have learned and grown from it.
