He says v3 has done better than v4.
I have uploaded SlopeyPeakyRider Version c1borg to post 1
Its default settings are in line with c1borg settings v3.
It does not have flying budha filter and will trade non positive swaps

I will test next week. From the tests i am doing this week can not tell which setfile is better

I have polished up the EA. So that it is matching awesome. It now also has positive swap filter.
This is a one pair one chart EA so it can be back tested.
As those who have used awesome ea before it needs help on how to recover trades that has gone in to very big draw down.
My suggestions These options for recovery should not be available
1-putting a stop loss
2- hedging

Why do we have to Recover. Well because the market has adversely gone against our trade. That adverse reaction will start reversing when
1-market finds support or resistance
2- or price has hit extreme area of bollinger bands
These i believe are conditions to allow an EA to start send recovery trades.
What other conditions can you think of?
Ideas will be coded and backtested

Post1 has been updated .
I have now added positive swap as a filter to EA's

peakyi went into a serious drawdown. a situation for considering recovery.
in this instance the market recovered itself quick

the risk of not putting stop loss or hedging is that capital can be wiped.
There is one assumption being is that when market goes against us it will eventually come.
when we don't know. will the account survive the waiting period or what can be done to save account from blowing up while waiting.
those are my thoughts as i try think of recovery

in the TE explorers
SPRi now has the c1borg ea version
and
SPRii has awesome 2ss

Merlin i would like you to confirm this.
I have gone through the awesome 2 ss code .
I believe its success in becoming an ATM ea as c1borg is calling it is that
after the first initial trade it does not allow a trade unless it is
min distance pips above or below the initial trade and that there is a flying budha signal.
This condition in the code and the 10 pip distance is giving it the pips to rake in
Its good to know where success is coming from in order to avoid anything that tampers or weakens it.

using c1borg V1 EA is on a roll today

Hello candyman,
is the SPRi-stats only made by the c1borg version, or do you have any additional trade-managing ea also running ?
And also, do you run it with standard settings?
I want to take a look at it, will create a myfxbook too and see if i can contribute.

AWESOME 2ss is a good ea, just like said before it has drawdown problem, i did not digest c1borg setting , but you said these 1-market finds support or resistance
2- or price has hit extreme area of bollinger bands
These i believe are conditions to allow an EA to start send recovery trades.

my personal thought is you should be look D1 trend, and comfirm support resistance in H4 to find your recovery thought, for we are just learning each other.

anything just suggestions, the final part will be in your decisions.

The EA is coded with trade manager but for the life of me . It does not kick in. I have posted another trade manager in post 1.
You have to look in expert tab to make sure it has initialized. If it says can't set timer then change chart time frame till it works.
I am running standard settings or default. That is place on chart and leave as is.
Will post tojust now on observations seen on awesome 2ss

I observed awesome 2 SS send buystops on CADCHF yet super slope H4 was down and superslope D1 was up. It supposed to only if they are both up.
Also it is not waiting min distance between pips to send buystop after first buy trade. There could be code allowing it to do that i have not read , but from area where conditions are set for sending a trade it says it sends trades min distance pip apart or maybe i am confusing something. Could be the external input of
max signals to follow (which is 3 in c1borg settings) means the firs three stops sent dont have to be sent min distance apart but are sent every time there is a flying budha signal

  • May 3, 2018 11:44am May 3, 2018 11:44am
I have checked code again to try understand whats happening. There is trade buffer pips as external input . c1borgs settings has this at 5 pips.
Theere is an input called max follow signal trades (c1borgs settings has this at 3),
so the first buystop will be sent five pips above market.(for a buy)
next stop will be sent when market converts the first buystop to a buy.
a stop will be sent five pip above first stop converted to a buy
the last stop will be sent when the second buystop is converted to a buy.
As to why it sent buystops when the superslopes were not agreeing i don't know.
Not supposed to happen.

Unfortunately this is what happens with the one chart trade all EA's. Well for that is.
They have some trades that seem not to follow the strategy being coded.
For me it happens because of still learning to code multi pair EA . Otherwise the strange sending of a buystop
when slopes were not matching means there is a little bug. This is because in coding a multi pair EA it involves
the code capturing the pairs through arrays and also this is two eas in one , so somewhere there could be a slip.
Unfortunately not able to connect the dots together to see where it is falling through the loops

Now i understand awesome 2 ss .
I believe the risk comes from having 3 trades opening within 5 pips of each other.
A small capital account of less than 500 would be at high risk and find it difficult to recover
an adverse market reversal. A 45 pip distance would be safer though would mean lower profit.
Also recovery pips can start at 60 pips. Attached is EA with those settings

Yes . Unfortunately it was not closing or executing. Below is updated version. I have just watched it close out SPR _Peaky
Also a big up to you trading one open it reduces dd thereby reducing risk there by making it easy to recover.

Make sure to download this upload i have done. I had forgotten to change it to say v3
