Hey mate you are testing on bar open in that test, and the EA does not trade that way - it enters trades on ticks during any bar. So you would not get those results. The EA would have to be modified to have the option of trading on bar open only to get those results. Might not be a bad idea to have the option actually....

I have never back tested an EA before since I always believed its meaniningless. But just for fun sake I am curious to do so for this EA. I will try this today.
How much time did it take for running this test for you? Also I am not sure if I misunderstood this....do you consider 31% DD as low?

Hi Montego & Jamco388,

Wow - the back test results are truly VERY ENCOURAGING - I am beginning to believe that we have found the HOLY GRAIL in forex trading as trading the EA in hybrid mode is VERY VERY SAFE - hardly any risk at all - please please everyone, don't just read and benefit from efforts of others - do your own backtesting on the other pairs and share the results here.

However, everyone reading this, there is only one caveat in using this EA - make sure you have enough $$$$ in your account to give it enough of room to maneuver - at this juncture from my own testing and I agree with Tictac-nur that you must have $1,000 for each traded pair in 0.01 lot size. For example, you want to trade 5 pairs in 0.01 lot then you must make sure that you have $5,000 in your account.

Wow, as I have stated much earlier, this strategy has NO weakness and if we can work together here to come out with the best settings and push the profitability further , then the sky is the limit really as we can trade MULTIPLE pairs simultaneously (especially uncorrelated pairs)!!!! WOW, this is a real gold mine!!!! This is really exciting!!!

But everyone, please share your discoveries here - don't keep it for yourself!!!

Hi Yal,

Jamco388 had started the test with $500 only - which is way too low - should have set it to $1000 and if he has done that, the drawndown would only be around 15% which is VERY LOW considering how safe to trade it this way.

The EA can be traded in multiple pairs so long as you allow $1,000 for each traded pair in 0.01 lot size. Yal, just imagine the potential profit trading 5 pairs !!!

Common guys, I really want to see backtest results on all the other pairs.

Cheers guys & KEEP BACKTESTING & SHARING THE RESULTS HERE!!!

Also Yal, even if you get yourself stucked in a deadlock situation, it is quite easy to turn off the EA and manually trade yourself out of the cycle if one is experienced enough in trading

Philip I feel that the older 1.6 version with Stoch filter gives much better gains! How come we aren't building off of its functionality?

You are right! He used $500 to generate over $600 in little over a year. This means more or less around 100% returns per year. Had he funded $1000 like you mentioned for 0.01 lotsize the DD would be around 16% but net profit for the year would be around 50%.

What do you think about such numbers?

Hi Verocity,

To tell you honestly, I have taken it further and incorporated 3 MAs into it on top of the STOCH and renamed the EA under a different name. But no matter how I tried to adjust the settings, it eventually hits the wall - although one would get excellent results when favourable conditions were there, it is still a very risky way to trade. Please see the test results of Pete posted in post 271 - where he tested it on the same data - one leg did well but the other did poorly - things can get much worst than that.

Verocity, why do we want to trade in that risky manner when we are in the verge of discovering a much safer way to trade this EA??? Yes, the profit level is lower trading the EA in hybrid mode but is is VERY SAFE and therefore, we can trade MULTIPLE pairs simultaneously and that should more than compensate the lower profitability compaared to the indpendent mode.

The only way/time that this EA can be employed independently (and safely) either as a Buyer or a Seller is in the ONE CYCLE MODE whereby it is employed as part of one's trading tools as I had demonstrated above in my post 192.

Verocity, I have no motivation to go down that path now because I had already taken that path and I can tell you that its a dead end.

Sorry to be so blunt on this.

Cheers Verocity.

Pete, please read my last post 297 - it is also meant for you.

Pete, be patient and follow up with the development here on trading the EA on hybrid mode - it is a far safer way to trade this EA.

Do NOT use v1.6 to trade live.

Cheers Pete.

Hey thanks for the reply Philip, I was just curious. That explains it. I feel that we do need to incorporate something into this to help filter, maybe Momentum like you said or Stoch, maybe Guppy? I'm not sure but I think it will help. I also think if we have a trailing TP that this will increase profitability.

Just some thoughts, what do you think?

Yal,

The answer to your question is to trade multiple pairs - that should compensate for the lower profitability of hybrid mode.

If one has BIG appetite for risk, one can actually trade like jamco388 ie $500 per pair, so for a $5000 account, you can trade 10 pairs and get 100% return in a year.

Bottom line is, this is a very safe way to trade - even 50% return in a year in a stress free practically risk free way of trading would be acceptable to a lot of us.

Cheers Yal.
