Hybrid Grid-Automated

Having done some back analysis with Revolution ->HERE and it's trading methodology...I've come to the conclusion that the following will most likely be the Safest and most productive settings for the Stochs2 EA


Summ Start Lot allows for a greater chance of cost averaging out, but as we have seen, can be a touch dangerous as applied to the aggressive Xuicide, Hyper or FK triggering.

M15 Trend allows for the Greatest Possible Triggering on a single chart and though may be slow in taking trades, will most likely provide a good starting point by range of an M15 chart oscillation on Stochastics with an M1 trigger to follow.

Stochs5NN will trade similar to the Hybrid Trader in that it does wait for a trend slowing, but will still allow profiting on a faster chart.

Revolution NN and Hybrid Triggering will produce results similar to the Revolution statistics, be fairly conservative in triggering and with the MACD Dynamic and Static Profit values set, with a Wide enough swing on the M1 MACD should allow this to actually kick Revolutions ass as it will be trading bidirectionally as triggering is available.

Unlike my Revolution account, I am only going to launch it on the Magic 7 pairs until I have confirmed my theory through a few weeks of trading...after that...will see what looks good for adds.

Just figured I'd lend a little insight into what and how I am approaching Market with this new toy.

Not taking away from the Stochs5TREND signal...this could play very well to a more aggressive scalping logic and be able to take a higher probability primary trade and work with the more aggressive cost averaging.

Left unattended...well...might not look as pretty in the long run.

Would this too work with the same cost averaging settings as listed above?

Most probably would for smaller accounts and fewer pairs.

If you are manually working the charts anyways...giver a whirl.

If you beat it to a trigger...take yours...
If it beats you to a primary trigger...see how it plays out.

I've posted a Template with 1 indicator on the first post...

This will give an idea of what the Stochs2 EA is looking at, spread over 3 time frames.

Check out the M1, M5 and M15.

LargeTimeFrame.ex - Indicators Folder.
15.tpl - Templates Folder.

Check out the different views...these will lend some insight into the logic and help you to possibly improve your manual trading with the use of the Stochs EA, or maybe even help me out in bettering the logic.

So the 2 new TE's I put up are faring quite well so far.. ok ok I know its only a few days, but they have been firing! lol..

The new TE's have been tuned, and are rocking and rolling so far, and the Hybrid All In is milking it haha..

I really hope they can hold on, and survive based on their settings, we shall see!

Which is V2.0 ? You mean Stock 2.0 ?

EDITED. There is no version 2.0, I was referring to this being the 2nd test hence the 2.0

So far my results in Demo :

When you quietly waiting for EU to reverse so the EA can cost average..

-280... Live account...

Hope your account is big enough to trade countertrend martingale.
Starting lot 0,01 you need at least ~$250 per pair.

Yip this account is fine to handle 1 pair, that's all I'm running on live. I will say that the sum lot can add up lol..

Good thing though that the EA did it thing and churned in some nice profits!

After some foward testing with Stochs2, Magix settings #642 looks very promising.
I will focus on this setting for now and open a new TE.

Thx you again Magix for your hard work ! ! !

No way you made a "nice" profit on these trades (0,01-0,08).
And btw. you are still with floating profit/dd on the larger lot sizes so, banked is not yet in the pocket.

Greet job

Well "nice" profit is a matter of individual perspective.

Yes there's still some floating orders which the EA will surely take care of, and the lot sizes is fine I have enough margin.

That's the only thing that matters.
No margin closes because that will interfere with the EA doing "it's" thing.

Hybrid All In what a beaut!

I left it alone to do its "thing" and do well it did!

All orders closed in profit..

\m/

Understanding the Template...

All versions of the Hybrid do view the immediate M1 trend under their own independent perspective. This is typically most relevant to the M1 charts because even trading the trend, it is quite possible to still blow up an account.

If you've been in market long enough, you've probably proved this point to yourself at least once.

Now...personally...I do not advocate for counter-trend trading but do strongly advocate for account protection.

Stop Loss...Well...I don't believe in them per se...not that I don't believe that they exist...more to the point that I just don't believe in using them. Setting an arbitrary number for a threshold of pain that results in loss, as a market strategy and in my opinion, is total fucking lunacy as much as Holding your Breath and Crossing your fingers. This isn't to say that you MUST wait until profit comes back...just appreciate what the market will most likely afford you, if you find yourself on the wrong side of things.

Now...there are certain criteria, when present and with enough margin, can guarantee you near 100% success on cost averaging strategies. I'm going to partially discuss this, but will more so advocate for understanding a trend trading methodology. As in...when to be long and when to be short...and if the market up and changes direction on ya, when is a GREAT TIME to exit.

The M15 Chart - With template most recently posted.


There are 2 indicators present on this chart that are of the greatest importance.

1. The Yellow EMA - 288.
2. LargeTimeFrame(D1).

Pretty easy to figure out from this, the LargeTimeFrame indicator shows a Blue for a Bullish candle and Red for a Bearish candle and as these are set on the M15 chart...are for a single day or D1.

Now...missing the forest through the trees is easy...so I am going to point out the absolute most obvious thing about this to make sure we are all on the same page, as it relates to daily trend recognition...When the Candle Closes BELOW the 288 EMA, it is a GREAT TIME to be SHORT. When the daily candle Closes ABOVE the 288 EMA, it is a GREAT TIME to be LONG!

Yup...for the most part...this is it!

Lesson Over!!

Except one little thing...that Yellow Box.

Looking back to the beginning of this post, I mentioned that with enough margin and the right criteria, you are almost 100% guaranteed Market Victory?

As the Daily Candle started levelling out to an eventual Market Trend Shift - in accordance to this template, there was a market retrace, where...if you were still in an unfortunate short position, you would have escaped from...and even inside of this box, market shifted a second time...and still would have allowed an exit from a short position.

Here's the issue...

If you are playing multiple pairs and off of the M1 chart and a few of these motherfuckers flip on the same day...you can find yourself in some pretty deep shit, FAST!

Even with the greatest likelihood of a Market Retrace, too many positions on too aggressive of too many pairs = you're fucked!

Watching for this, may help you decide on setting the EA in place for both Manual and Full Auto. I mean, really...if your optics through this view are LONG...why not wait for the Right Market Criteria to take a trade or Restrict this or any other EAs from Trading against the trend?

Understanding the Template - M1 Scalping

If you are working with these tools and taking your first trade manually, here's an idea of understanding the Immediate Trend...


Using the same 2 primary indicators as viewed on the M15 chart...pretty easy to see some of the same characteristics.

1. If the Hourly Candle Closes ABOVE the 288 EMA, good time to be LONG???
2. If the Hourly Candle Closes BELOW the 288 EMA, good time to be SHORT???

Kinda...

You see, there is that Green Dotted Line - 1440 EMA that is our DTEMA - Daily Trend Exponential Moving Average.

If the immediate trend is above the daily trend, and we are looking at Long positions, there's a GREAT Chance that you can not only be successful in your long trades but if the MARKET shifts, you will be able to find a Suitable exit to help minimize losses.

The 2 MACDs on this template are to help with a VERY Transparent idea of what is happening in the market. If you are working with one of the more aggressive cost averaging strategies, your window can be so cluttered, watching for Moving Average Crosses, becomes a very difficult thing. So...Refer to the MACD windows.

Prior to the GREEN Vertical Line, we can see that the Hourly Candle Closed above the 288, 288 is above the 1440, trend long...Long Position Taken.

And then...the market decides to get all cunty on ya!

You've loaded up a few cost averages and then the Trend MACD dips below ZERO and FUCK...now what?

Well...again, if you are trading with the trend, you will see the following more often than not, in that you have a Retrace, visible on the bottom MACD where you can cut losses...close out these positions and wait until the next proper trade comes up...toggle to a different pair...or sit out of market...

Scan back through your charts and trades...

Have a look at these through the optics of the template provided.

If you are trading Manually...if you are full Auto...can you see when a good time to cut bait and swim is?

Following the last two posts...I guess the most important note really is...

Sometimes you are the windshield...

Sometimes you are the bug.

Follow the rules and you will be taking more ass than giving it!
