I had just subscribed to Bernhard's CURRENCY IMPULSE WITH ALERTS which was highly praised and rated - my plan, intention and purpose of starting this thread was to get the Forex RM EA perfected (as separate Buyer & Seller EA) to be used in conjunction with Bernhard's indicator. I personally believe this is a killer combo. I had already started a $1500 live account and let me practice a bit more with Bernhard's Indicator before I trade it live in conjunction with Tictac-nur's V2.0 EA. If and when I started to trade live, I will keep you guys updated on a timely manner.

OK guys, bed time for me, wife is already complaining.

Cheers!

Hi Philip,
I'm from malaysia too but unfortunately am not a coder. Have just briefly browse thru your thread which I had presumed your original EA was semi automated hence would not able to backtest it.
But then I came across that someone - montego has managed to backtest it using Tictac-nur's V2.0 EA which I believe this is fully automated. Have just tested it using mostly default settings but it had blown up the account within 2 days.
And now I'm using the same EA to forward test it with the only difference is to set true for "One Cycle Only". Everything else same as my back test settings shown in snapshot.
Currently get caught up with high drawdown on a buy position AUDCAD but I do not see any subsequent pending buy orders as per your description? I begin to confuse if I am using the EA correctly in terms of the settings. Could you please advise me some pointers on using this EA? Should I leave it as fully automated or do I still need manual intervention in order to achieve great result like yours? Can you please show me your settings using this EA from Tictac-nur?

Thanking in advance for your help needed.

hello petewong, i think that 1 lot is too much for your balance, maybe change it to 0.1 and you ll see..
and maybe you ll have to change the TP as well to something like 50

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.
Amazing results Philip! So happy to see these.
What settings did you use when running this on 9 pairs? Also what was your selection criteria for the direction?

Hi Pete,

Which state are you from? I am from Sabah.

Pete, none of the EAs posted here should be back tested like what you are trying to do here - all of them are 'semi-auto' and not fully automated - manual input from a human person is required - it is intentionally kept that way. What Montego did was that he had back tested it on random DAYS ie he only backtest it for one single day at a time to test the validity of the one cycle trade strategy. If you really want to back test, then go the my post 197 and down load the two EAs there (Forek RM Pro v1.6) and you can back test them to see the validity of this strategy. Those two EAs are fully automated with a simple trend filter incorporated - it means it does not trade all the time - only when the precondition is met that it will start to trade.

Checking on my old correspondences at that time, I think only the STOCH indicator was incorporated, not the 3 SMAs I mentioned earlier in my post 196. The EAs will only start a trade when the price either had entered/penetrated the STOCH 80 or 20 level (settings can be changed) AND exited the same - ie just entering/penetrating is not suffice to trigger a trade, it must have exited before the EA fires a trade (a sell order if price exited the 80 level and a buy order when price had exited the 20 level).

Pete, since the EAs are separated into Buyer and Seller, backtest them separately on the same set of data eg test them separate for 2017 and the combined results would represent what you would have gotten if you had ran the two separate EAs concurrently on two charts on the same pair. Hope you understand what I am trying to say.

Go on Pete back test it and share with us the result here. Would be good if you can back test it back as far as possible.

Cheers Pete.

Oh forgotten Pete, just use the default settings for your back test EXCEPT the lot size of the sub order reduce it from 3 to 1 - all the rest just leave it as default.

Also maybe good to test it on gbpjpy - but any pair will do as this EA is slightly different from all of our discussions here as it has a filter built in.

Back test it on a $10,000 account

Yal, I had just basically eye balled the 9 pairs using Bollinger bands & STOCH on the D1 chart. Just go to those 9 pairs, open a D1 chart on them - just roughly look at them and you'd be able to roughly guess where the price would move yesterday - I did not spend more than 2 minutes on each pair before making the decision whether to buy or sell.

Yal, reread my post 201 - just do the same and you will make a killing.

Cheers.

Thanks Philip.

So is the EA perfected and doing everything bug free like you wanted to when you started the thread?
  • #211
  • Apr 6, 2018 6:57pm Apr 6, 2018 6:57pm
Yes Yal, seems to be but please test Tictac-nur V2.0 further - I have not come across a bug yet but then again, I had only tested it for like 48 hours only - it needs further test to be 100% confirm bug free. Everyone should chip in and test it thoroughly and report any bugs for the benefit of everyone here.

Of course, now we have this new development which I would like to get a perfect EA at the end of the day (all the ones I have now are bug-riddled).

And also, I would like to dearly have the Forex RM Seller V1.1 properly debugged like the properly debugged Buyer EA. MARTY, MARTY where are you????

Ok guys, I need to go to work - I know its Saturday but I got too much work to catch up with - will catch up with you guys in the evening.

In the mean time, Pete, please do the back test as I suggested above, would be very interested to see the results.

  • Apr 6, 2018 8:38pm Apr 6, 2018 8:38pm
Yes, Pete, forgotten to mention that please use a higher time frame in your back test - please use the 1H time frame - the STOCH signal is more reliable the higher the time frame.

Also, can anyone of you back test Rockit upgraded EA posted at Post 189??? Rockit, can you do the back test???

Just run it with BOTH Buyer and Seller trading concurrently - I would be very interested to see the results especially when the two legs are trading independently from each other. VERY IMPORTANT - please use the following setting:

1. SL of First Order 20
2. Depth 30
3. Depth between sub order 15
4. SL for Sub Order - 0 ie don't set any SL for the sub orders - very important to do this
5. Lot size 1 for the sub order
6. TP $500
7. gbpjpy pair only
8. Start the test with $100,000 - this actually simulates $1,000 in a micro/cent account

Rockit, can you do that??? Or any takers??? I won't do it because of workload and I have 5 kids, I simply cannot spend any further time than what I am already spending here...

Really hope to see some back test results with the above settings...

Cheers...back to work...

Tictac-nur - could you please please please back test it using the settings I had suggested at my post 198. I am pretty sure that it will show quite a straight line up instead of the zig zagging line.

Anyway, really really appreciate the time and efforts you have invested in this EA so far.

Can hardly wait for the release of the EA - once again, THANK YOU SO MUCH Tictac-nur!!!

Thank you Tictac-nur ! Your work is amazing. Cant wait to test this out v2-1
All my thoughts on improving this have been made in your latest update,well done.

Philip-Lee,

What is the logic behind not setting a stop loss on the sub orders ? It seems to me that keeping a stop loss of say 200 pips (when using on one cycle only mode) gives us the odd day of a limited loss but compared to the winning days makes no odds and keeps account safe. thanks Montego.
Back testing this over 2017 full year to date shows account can blow if using with more than one cycle even on 0.1 lot per $10'000 account without stop loss.

Yet to find a working stop loss with more than one leg.( Maybe different with trend filter added- one for tictac-nur )

Not tested on version 2-1 yet.

I will continue.
