{quote} Timeframe=M1. If on anything other than that, you most likely will never see a trade. There is no restrictions and no expiry on anything released in this thread. If you are still having issues, post your log files and I can check shit out from this side.
Something between version:
Revolution N opened trades OK, later version does nothing.

Hi Magix,

really love your Xuiside Scalper EA, thanks for that one

Even if it has been asked before (too lazy to go through the whole thread):
Would it be possible to change the close of all open orders in case of TP target reached to "order close by"?
That would mean @TP Point in case you are net long 1.0 the EA would open a 1.0 short and close all orders with a "close by"?
You don't get slipped as you can get when closing single orders

Seems to me, if there were issues with the coding of the latest version, we would have more members that would have brought this up.

Check your configuration and Log files and try again.

I have worked with multiple closing logics and found this to actually be the most efficient.

Given the fast frame that I've always worked with, I do appreciate that this is definitely part of the strategy and have worked to get it resolved by exit strategy.

There are times when you get some slippage against you, but typically more times than not, it will be in favor.

Hey Magix, I checked on my REV1.2 after I had noticed it didn't close or open a trade for a whole day, I found this in the log.

I closed an reopened mt4 and then a bunch of trades closed and opened, and now looks to be working ok again. Any idea why this might have happened?

MT4 is really as buggy as batshit...

But...it is the tool that I can actually work with.

I have had the same thing happen, on one of my live accounts, last week and I take full responsibility for that. Running a heavy load by way of multiple terminals and running close to Max on my PC for resources, I typically shoot for a weekend reboot just to keep shit working good...well, I've been busy and a little lazy and never got around to it and consequently ended up with a restart being required.

It was fortunate that no large losses came of this, but is still much the reason that I keep Teamviewer loaded on every device I have and monitor my live shit throughout the active trading sessions.

One other thing I have noticed, but this goes back to when I started again in September of 2017, is that the comment on some of the EAs for Cable, Stops Printing in the comment line on trades taken. No fucking idea what this is all about...so I just reload defaults and it comes back for a while and then will disappear a couple weeks down the road. This has no impact on the trades as trades are controlled by magic numbers not trade comments...but, it's kind of annoying...

Moral of the story...reboot your system and reload your terminals when markets are closed...and report anything that stops working altogether.

I tried but didn't find any.

The function is in RevNN1.2. You may want to have a look at it again.

Yup.

It's in there...

It don't work and I wasn't able to fix it, thus the reason it was removed from subsequent versions.

Not sure what happened today, but Hybrid crashed and burned, I woke up to see this...

It was going well up to this point but it seems that GU was the killer..

This was a $1k account trading my new 5 pairs with step lot. Using step lot was an experiment to see how it goes, perhaps that is what killed the account?

Besides this account my other Hybrid NN test is doing pretty well with using normal fixed lot.

Rev NN 1.2 is lovely, just lovely. This thing has been purring all month long pulling in pips with almost 0 DD. Magix what ever you did with Rev NN 1.2 its working man! The profits might not be very high, but its constant and consistent.

USD Crosses are definitely on a rip right now...causing a lot of DD with all of the versions...

April Played out much like January did and the hybrids are playing much the same as did in January - With TDA taking it's worst beatdown during that month.

Consequently, we will most likely see the same DD with Hybrid as was on Evolution in the early days of testing - 50% DD on $2000 account start with the magic 7.

We seem to be testing some Yearly Open Levels, have posted on this in other threads...

I'm still using Hybrid on one Live account, vs Ev/Rev, but being very selective on pairs and movement.

My strategy with these to help reduce DD...watch for Oversold on the M5 - with daily in mind, set when the trend is against the EA on an M1, cash in profits, rinse and repeat - All on Fixed Start.

Not screaming profits, but no pantshitting levels of DD either.

Slow n Steady, wins the race...

Ok I've opened a new $1k demo using my same 5 special pairs, but this time only using fixed lot instead of sum start lot. I think in these market conditions this will be the safer approach, and still be able to turn consistent stable profit.

Hi mrdfx,

Would you be able to share your EA settings for the Rev NN 1.2?

Have you been adjusting Step Orders throughout at all?

Many Thanks

Everything is run on default except for lot size I'm using sum start lot instead of fixed lot.

Sum start lot is working well for Rev NN 1.2 so far however it did not work very well for Hyrbid NN.

So...Looking at the 2 different versions of Hybrid I am running...

One more like Evolution, one more like Revolution and neither of which, at current am I really fond of...

True to be said, there have been a few exceptional market days, but who cares? We need to have something that will not only play the short in trends back to a Homeostatic Median, but that can also be a little more effective on the long yards.

Problem with this...waaaaaaaaaaaay to large of a gap to be effective.

Non-Public Version:

Problem with this...waaaaaaaaaay to many positions to have to cost average out of...

Now...I am still not terribly sure, by end of week, which will be the winner...or if either of these motherfuckers will even cross the finish line or end up hitting the skids.

One is too Slow...
One is too Fast...

Maybe we need something a little in the middle?
Half Fast?

lol

Get it?
Halfassed!

lol

I slay me!

But seriously...in working out the triggering for Xuicidez, it made sense to be a little more aggressive on the backswing. As it turns out when played right, this is very effective...but, can easily blow up an account if not worked with a little more sensitivity.

So...Halfassed Hybrid, triggering in trend, removing the grid?

I like it!

Will work on this over the weekend and see if we can't put both of the predecessors to shame by way of lowering the DD while keeping a better profitability.

Overall...this has been a great week to stretch the limitations of Hybrid...and Evolution...and Revolution...Pretty happy about that!

Hey Magix this week has been one hell of a ride true that! It has really given a stress test to the EA's and through these market conditions you can really see the strengths and weakness of each one.

I've been playing close attention to both of your Hybrid TE's, and from what I can see, the normal Hybrid is performing better overall. Yes it has slightly less profits, but it also has lower DD and less lots traded.

Unfortunately my Hybrid test crashed this week and could not survive the stress week, but I also suspect that it was from using the sum start lots instead of fixed lot, as my other tests are still running ok. I think sticking to fixed lot instead is safer and still turns profit.

I still think Rev NN 1.2 is a champ and its really doing well and loving life. Whatever you have running inside that engine, its

I think if you can work on the Hybrid version that you say is more like Rev NN 1.2, see what happening under the hood, you can fine tune some things, and with a little mix of Xuicidez you could create a beast.

For my own experience the original LS running on M15 has been my champ. It's not as exciting to watch as it trades in clumps, then leaves things alone. You go through periods of DD but in the end it wins without so many added positions and keeps margin happy. I'd say it borders on incredible

BTW this demo started with 3K!!

Excellent results Telac!

Have you been running the EA on full default settings, or did you change anything? What is you average % DD so far?

$5k profit in 2.5 months is very good!

I tried M5 previously but it did not do so well for me.

Trading .1 lots - takes a lot less trades on M15. At the beginning I had some DD in the 50% range but this was largely due to the mass trades it sometimes took on the daily rollover when that ugly chop happens. I have since installed an EA that turns autotrading off for about 45 minutes during that time......now all good.

It's not about me...

It's not about you...

Think of the Children!!

Dear Gawd, I can't believe I am stepping into this arena again, but will giver a whirl.

Okay...so we've had some fun...we've seen some risk...we've seen some reward...and the cost of this has been, well, on the development side for you, absolutely nothing. Sure, you may have spent some resources on your VPS in testing and maybe you haven't actually stepped foot into the arena to make or lose anything, but it's still what and who we are as a community!

Now, I have stated, that the last thing I am interested in, is getting back into the charity game...but yet...here I am!

Why?

Fuck...who knows...it's just what I do, I guess...

So...

Here's the deal!

If I can get 50 people to agree to a $5 USD donation to the Ronald McDonald House, I will release the next innovation of Hybrid.

Disclaimer...It may not be any better than anything that is current...it may actually offer more risk.

You may not ever make a dollar on it!!!

But really, for a $5 USD bill...

50 people that will commit to donating $5 USD to the Ronald McDonald house, and the next version is released.

Link -> HERE

Do 1 of 2 things...
1. Let me know you are in -> message in thread and we can build some momentum.
2. Donate and post your receipt ->keep your private information out.

Really...$5 USDx50, not a lot of scratch to come up with...maybe there's even 1 person that would drop down $250 USD and free this up for the bunch...whatever...

Anyways...

Thems my limits!

Let's work as a group and really, be thankful for what we have and pass this spirit along to those less fortunate.

Or not...

You pick!
