I found a simple system that works well in the long term, it is based on indicators....ONLY


I can't materially optimize it (it works on any tf and possibly instrument, it works with different sl/tp)... only thing that remains fixed is the RR.

I'm looking for someone that can work with me to find the best parameters/pair etc!

I found a simple system...
when you said, you found a system(s), did you discover it? or simply optimize from other system(s)? or from other EAs?

Well my other system is already optimized, the parameters are very few as it's based on pure PA.

I found this only yesterday and it's a shame because it's so damn simple

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't intrigued...

Have you done a whites reality check to determine with strong confidence the results are not just random luck?

no not luck lol , I tested it with 3 pips of spread over a 15-20 years period on several pairs .

it catches strong momentum.. and it's non predictive

testing bar open is way more realistic then each tick. good job
really interesting result almost too good to be true.
am pro trader/coder n in my 10yrs of trading experience havent seen a code fits for multi tfs n instruments

interested. I can help u improve code in both ways mql4 n mql5

but again too good to be true

good luck

Good point Mr B.

I hope H has found a great system.....but sometimes the deficiencies in MT4 backtesting can produce this style of chestnut. For example the use of a historic fixed spread that is smaller than the reliable control points used for bar creation can produce this style of result...... or the incorporation of entry and exit signals on the same bar as you suggest Mr B.

So many times this has happened for me....here I am one evening telling the wife and kids to pack their bags as we are off to Monte Carlo....and the next morning.....the only bags that my wife has packed are mine :-)

Not to say that this is the case Mr H...but test the clappers out of it and put it through a period of live demo and live walk forward to be on the safe side.

true. false alarms many times happened to me too
sometimes we force/cheat system, knowingly or unknowingly, to achieve what we want but not what it really gives n that doesnt mean that he is wrong

Awesome guys !

Yeah I know the MT4 limitations very, very well.
but here I used a spread that is 2 or 3 times wider than normal, and
a 30+ pips SL/TP on the M15.

Anyways..... Mr.Brown you're definitely my first choice.


take all your time... I'm still on vacation and I don't have much time myself.

C... I admit I said "it's non predictive" to attract your attention... LOL !


BUT my other system IS actually a predictive one hahaha

To show some gratitude, I'm sending you the algo... without asking for anything. you can delete it, you can rename it to "lucky streaks EA" just pleaaase don't share it ... I'm so freaking jealous of my discoveries lmao


thanks to all, thread closed.

Stop reading my mind H :-)

Sounds like you may be onto something. Here is the tune I play when my universe aligns.

Hi, interesting backtest you show there. Indeed, you put the EA through hell almost even with the larger spread. Since you focused on momentum, I presume the EA trades "with the trend" how one might say. Came across one of these myself, but left it alone until either my ea coding will be sufficient enough to write it properly or I suspect and confirm it is giving false alarm too hehe Anyways, if you need the help of a young scientists brain (seasoned problem solvers in a way to make things work lol) let me know.
Best Regards,
Tzamo

If it is a safe system, I wouldn't mind running it on a small live acc to see how it does under real conditions.

Hi there,
I have an idea how to make an EA to work the same on every instrument, like WTI, EURUSD, USDSEK, DAX, Bitcoin, GOLD and all another that left.
But I am not a coder, just trader with ideas.

If you are interested I will share with you my thoughts.
Regards!
