The Hybrid Mode results trading one cycle per day as shown above is what I am interested in. If you compared my earlier test on the Hybrid Mode when applied BLINDLY without the 'one cycle per day' filter, it actually made at least 10% LESS profit that the above results - the conclusion which may be drawn from the above test is that it is actually more profitable to trade one cycle per day in Hybrid Mode as compared to trading the same BLINDLY. What I am trying to say is this - THE ONE CYCLE PER DAY FEATURE IS AN EFFECTIVE FILTER TO AVOID/REDUCE...
hi Phil
I usuallytrade the GA and GJ on short timeframes,
1. Is it possible for you to post a screenshot of your full input settings
2. Is it possible to modify the EA to operate on shorter timeframes such as M5 or m15. If not Ill stay with the current time mode
3. I am running a test on most pairs in demo mode however as you have been doing this far longer using this EA, can you advise what pairs you feel give the best return for time

For the record I had 318 pip return yesterday, 30 April and 450 for friday 27 April
Cheers and happy trading

Yo guys, what's up ?


I'm testing SwingMan's version 4.1 of the ea.

It opens a bunch of orders, i think the rapid fire bug is still present. Or we need to have balls of steel to trade this one

I keep faith in SwingMan, just give him time.

Don't forget that all coders who help us made this on their free time and absolutely free.

Thanks SwingMan for all the work you have already done here

New version smForexRM EA_v4.2

@albert666, thanks for your understanding, it is indeed so! I also can not program every day.
Until everything in my EA works, you only have to check the functionality step by step, and reports about 2-3 years backtest are invalid if there are still errors in the program.

Who really wants to have the current source code, no problem, should only PM me.

What's new in version 4.2:
- limit off the number of orders
- one cycle per day
- emergency button to close all active orders...

For me, there is a question about the one-cycle-per-day:

1. Should a new cycle start at 00:00? If so, then it's kind of Asian trading...
A possibiliy is to set the Begin_Hour to London- or NeyYork-Open. In such a case we need several possible begin-times.

2. Because the begin hour alone has no trading significance, I think is good you use the Stochastic filter for the first entry signals.
There is also a problem here, because the stochastic value can change within the current bar.
That's why I introduced the parameter "Stochastic_BarCondition = 1" so that you can check the stochastic filter on the previous bar.

Sorry guys for the few days silence, so busy with work.

Swingman, THANK YOU SO MUCH for your proactive and initiative to implement what I have requested to Tictac-nur to implement in her EA. Again, I am sure I speak on behalf of everyone here that we really do appreciate all your efforts in coding and improving on the EA here. I will test version 4.2 and report any bugs if there is any. I really hope the 'multiple orders' bug had been ironed out.

Cheers Swingman!

Hello all,

This is my first post on FF but I've been around here for a year. I wanna say thank you to Phillip and all the coders that have done so much on this project.

SwingMan,
I haven't tested the EA myself yet but I've read the whole thread and I'll try to contribute to this EA that has a great potential. These are my thoughts (please apologize if I'm saying something that has already been implemented or makes no sense):

1- The one cycle feature is probably a characteristic of a time-based EA, so it would be great to optimize the hours in any given time, same-day or not, beacause a "day" depends on each broker used. (I have a code for that, please PM me if needed.)

2- A ATR Trailing Stop may help increase the profits and also can be optimized on the strategy tester, which can also increase the profits. (I also have a code for that.)

Alternative version smForexRM v_4.2.1

In version 4.2 there is an additional filter for the execution of the order.
In version 4.2.1 this filter is fixed and there is something more order.

Please compare if one of the two versions has Advantages.

OK Phil and Tictac.
Here is where I am at.
I trade the M1 based on M15 bias
generally I succeed in taking 3-5 2:1 trades a day on the GJ and GA
I enter my trades with a volume based on a 10 pip stop loss BUT I DO NOT HAVE THE STOP IN PLACE
I take profit at 20 pips if there is a swing against however generally in the GBP and USD session I can
monitor and move the TP as price trends (if trending is the word when trading the M1)
The reason i do not have stop in place is that the pairs can and do spike but my history tells me 95% of M1 spikes recover to profit

This EA is great for giving me entries based on my assessed bias, however i would like the option of choosing the 'virtual' stop loss without having the stop actually placed. The trailing stop I use once prive gets 15 pips in front and I leave the traing stop at 15 pips in my trades.

Is this possible

I sit in front of the screen for 16 hrs a day and it is tiring. When I get my bias correct my returns are phenominal however it is tiring. This system with the no stop but trailing stop would be a godsend for me.
i know trading the M1 isn't everyone cup of tea however I have perfected it to an art and am very very profitable
this EA will take the pressure off me to monitor as I do,

Cheers

to tictac-nur
I am running v2-4 and I have applied my bias.
On a number of pairs I put false to BUY-(only interested in selling) however the EA still made buy trades and visa-versa where I put false to SELL

Good morning,

This morning I tried the new version of your EA on a DAX median renko chart.
I have to take a look at the settings because it opened a large amount of trades.
But the end result was very nice.

1. The idea with "optimized hours trading" is good, I also did something like that.
For Philips system you would probably have to set tight TPs, and he can think about it when he has time - it's his system.

2. In a next version I will do the calculations of the limits with ATR if the current version stays stable

A question to Philip, concerning the algorithm (version 4.2.1):

- Only sell orders
- After the start (open = 150.330) the next sell is on NextSellPending = 150.290 (about 150.330-40 TrendDepth) => SellOrder 1

- NextSellRestart (1) = 150,341 (about 150,290 + 50 RestartDepth)
The prices go up
NextSellRestart (2) = 150,391 (about 150,341 + 50 RestartDepth) => SellOrder 2

- NextSellPending = 150,361 (about 150.91-30 SubDepth) => SellOrder 3

At 160.452 the stop loss of 300 EUR is reached and the orders are closed.

- My question is whether the arrangement of the orders should not be staggered. Now we have an order 3 under order 2 - maybe that is a cause for multiple orders.

I suspect that the algorithm is correct because the order 3 is helpful in a possible down trend!
(When calculating the limits you have to check if the spread is considered correctly for the buy and sell orders)

Second question:
Maybe I misunderstood everything !?
In the wonderful EA RM-V2-4 from @TicTac-Nur, there is no SellRestart, and the orders are staggered.

Hi,

I don't think it should open so many trades, if I compare it to GBPJPY for example.
I assume I have to adjust the depth settings, but I have to get some more knowledge about the EA and the way it opens orders.

Kind regards,

Gizmo.

Thank you for your progress on making the Forex-RM EA. I wondered if spread is the main that games the profit? Because if this EA takes advantage of spikes and news candle, the spread will be your enemy.

EDIT: Spread and commission
