Conversely... If being in a position is your goal... Keep Magic Number = 0 and take the first trade. In this...and if you really want excitement...make sure Hyper=0 or a little safer, Xuicide = 0... I've done some fairly extensive trading with both of these tools and can say...if you want to force market profit, these will help the ride. Just make sure you have an extra pair of underwear close and enough margin to cover.
Manually initiated the first trade and hoping the Hybrid All In ea will take over but it didn't. Settings were as follows:
Type Lot Marti / Sum (tried both)
Charts M15
Time Delay 900 (is this number too large? How does this setting come to play?)
Lot 0.01 (tried 0.1 earlier)
Step order 48
Max trade 200
Max spread 68
Primary Trigger - All set to 200 with MACD at the default 20
Cost Averaging - all set at 200

Anything wrong with the settings here?

900 is the amount of seconds delayed between trades. On an M15 chart, 900 seconds is a delay of one candle plus the trigger.

For Cost Averaging, you need to select one methodology and set it to Zero.

The logic Works like this:
Primary Trigger = Trade 1 - Automated or Manual.
Cost Averaging -> If Current Trades > Cost Averaging Methodology - Enable.

So...you could set Xuicidez=0 and it will start using the Xuicidez Trigger after the first trade.
Set Hyper = 5 and then both Xuicidez and Hyper will trade After the 5th position taken.

As Hyper is more aggressive...it will most likely cancel out any of the Xuicidez triggers as Xuicidez is based on Time and Grid...Hyper is Time Delayed only.

Make sense?

Hello Magix, sorry to bother you during your vacation.
A short question. Did you incorporate 'dynamic stop loss' with the latest version 'Hybrid All in' ?
If so, to activate dynamic stop loss, do we have to make any changes in your default set up ?
Please reply whenever you are free.
Thanks,

Certainly not for the faint of heart. Nearly doubled the account in less than a week but with a max drawdown of about 65%. Speaks volume about the EA though.

Note I'm using a separate ATR-based setting for step order and TP on each pair and prefer for that a more daytrading method with a special profit target...but I don't trade every day...

Dynamic Stoploss still in testing and was only coded after the latest release.

So far...it kinda sucks...

jdva, it is good result.
Do you think, if you increase the lot size with the same set up what you have today, the profit also will increase proportionally ? Please test.

Surely...it should, I have already tested with the former EA 0.02 StartLot...but this version 1.3 has a better profit close feature...hence it should hit a higher TP as well

Do you mind to share the settings of how you trading v1.3?

I am finding it challenging finding a good setting for v1.3 that's having good consistent profits in back tests.
Truth is like poetry. And most people f*cking hate poetry.

Of course, my friend...you may find them on post #552 for Manual Start v1.3

I'm using ATR based step order (ATR in pips, period 5000 on M5 chart) and Static Profit as well on each pair if value is above 5, f. i. for GA step order is 8 pips (80 points) and Static Profit=8, too
But...when a TP got hit and cycle ends... I have to enter a new order on that particular pair manually again, don't know whether necessary but I trade in this manner...maybe Magix may explan if correct

Good luck, jdva

If there are any trades that are still open, there is no need to add in additional trades...only if all are closed would you need to start a new cycle by taking a manual trade.

I think this is what you were looking for...not sure...

After doing some checking on the BB Logic on extended time frames and with the MACD Closing, I do see some inherent issues.

When I originally coded the BB Logic - prior to using the MACD Levels for the Dynamic Profit - the original closing was kewl...now the issues are that the BB Trigger can take a short trade, while the MACD is still below zero or a long trade, while the MACD is above zero. This puts it into the skinny exit situations, especially if working on defaults. Along with this I'm not as convinced that the original logic is all that solid to begin with. It does force trades in tight markets as well as takes a trigger on spikes, which can result in some rather tricky situations that are not as favorable. Working on a fix for this...

Not a lot of time in market today, but hit a few trades on a practice with a Happy New Marriage of 2 of the triggering methodologies - Manual Trigger.

Falling Knives and Hyper with the MACD Close are fucking AMAZING together.

This does assume you are watching levels, clock and direct...but given my $100 start account, I was able to have as many as 3 pairs in trade using these 2 cost averaging methodologies.

Today on the stats:

kik...on Manual Start v1.3 Magic number 0 you have to enter the first trade manually, after that the logic will kick in!

When the cycle on a pair ends, meaning there are no longer open trades on that specific pair...you have to open a new cycle manually again. Please look al Magix' post #575.
You may see a part of my template on post #552...but that is not your problem.

Hi there,
If I run V1.3 with hybridstart as the primary trigger, is it best to then use the hybridstart cost averaging option on it's own or with another variable such as xuicide? I've read through this great discussion thread but I couldn't see how the hybridstart cost averaging works so appreciate somefeedback on this - apologies if I missed this detail somewhere.
Cheers
Carlos

Carlos, if you want to trading full-auto on v1.3 (MN 69) with hybrid start you might try these settings:

Please note that step order and Profit target are used on ATR-based settings different on most pairs as mentioned in my former post, but feel free to test your own findings...
