Hybrid Grid-Automated

@Magix , ops I am sorry. It looks like I am a bit late for joining in. Is there any possibility to have access to the material?

Thanks

Not that I am unwilling to make exceptions...minimum donation when the membership closed was $50 USD.

Match that amount and I'll letcha in.

Either way, thanks for helping out!

\m/

Created the Tapout Version of the corrected version of Stochs2...will run this on 7 pairs with a $2k Start and have a TE added to my profile.

The NN seemingly made a huge difference in the profitability of the Stochs Logic and hopefully by creating 2 sets of tap out criteria I can maximize on the profiting while minimizing the absolute loss or draws on the account.

Should be interesting...

Definitely stealing a few tricks out of the Hybrid Tap and the Buzzsaw traders for this.

There you go Magix!! Thanks for giving the possibility to join in.

Appreciate man.

Awesome!

Now...because you are still new to the house, you cannot PM your email to me, so go to my house, sign up an account and send me your email addy in a private message and I will forward you the EAs.

HERE

Welcome aboard, dude!!

Hello!

Can I make a donation and then get the EA?

Regards.

Sure.

Minimum $50 USD - current charity is still the Make A Wish Foundation.

Welp...

I am actually trying to break the fucking Buzzsaw now...

Added increments to this motherfucker as it seems that the logic is fairly stable - given the quantity of pairs in trade - just really isn't that exciting yet.

Let's see how this works out.

Additionally...

Stochs and Hybrid have shit the proverbial sheets.

BUT!!

The tapout versions - even though sitting with a bit of loss - are still alive and looking for regains.

There was a coding issue on the Stochs version that I have corrected - FOR FUCK SAKES!!

So, I will be looking towards a little smoother sailing on these motherfuckers!

I think it may be best to use the exact logic of tapout as being used on the buzzsaw so will get this all sorted for a launch next week.

1. Step. Closer!!

Can you FEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEL it?

Aight...

So, here's what I am working on, think I've got it all together, just need to verify everything and then of course...make sure it all makes sense when in play.

I've milled Stochs and Magix Scalp into 1 EA, and added a few features.

Check it...


1. Daily Range. This will be user defined...so, depending on the pairs in trade, you will have to do a little work on this, or just leave it at default - 900 Points, or 90 pips. Yes there are a lot of pairs that have a lot skinnier of a Average Daily Range and some that blow this motherfucker out of the water, but at the same time, this can help keep the EA from overtrading on the day.

Simple way to figure this out...use the ADR from the template previous provided with the ADR_V2 indicator and select the range off of this x 10 for points!!


Work off either the 1 Day, 5 Day, 10 Day or 20 Day range...as per the example, if you work wroking off of the 10 Day, 87 pips would be 870 points...or leave it at default or shave off 100 points from that to leave room for profiting...whatever.

2. All Signals. Magix Scalp, Stochs 15Trend, Stochs5Trend and Stochs5NN are all in the mix.

3. TAPOUT. There are 2 versions of tap out as the same logic might trip over its own nuts. It will be hugely important to make sure that you have selected the correct tap out to minimize the risk on the account.

4. Profit. This will have all of the profiting levels from Stochs2 so that these can be adjusted and maximized to pair, range and trend.

Yeah, I know...a lot to unpack there and there will definitely be a bit of a learning curve...

But have a look at what has been happening to logic that has been working fairly well since the start of this year...All of a sudden, it can't keep an account afloat? Can't prosper while the daily ranges seem to be increasing?

I was suspicious of ESMA having an impact on market and though I cannot confirm that we are in the new norm now, adding in a couple of safety precautions into play, really can't hurt...at least from a testing standpoint.

The Daily Range will be beneficial with the Magix Scalp triggering. You can set the MACD Spread a little tighter, take a few more trades and only work to trade inside of the average daily range.

The TAPOUT for the Magix_Scalp has been reasonably optimized from whipsaw to make sense with this logic.

Range on the MACD will hopefully ensure that the NN and the 15 trend don't try to cost average in after a full pull back is in play, but if does, there are 2x exit logics to close down these trades that will work to maximize profit if not only minimize losses on these trades...this might need a little work, but will need to be fully market tested.

I want to see how these work out over the next week and if all is well...will forward a copy out next weekend for live testing.
w00t w00t!!

Will be watching and correcting as is needed.

Bring on the New Week!!

Let's see these motherfuckers roll!!

\m/

2 additional points worthy of note...

1. Magix_Scalp will be filtered on the weekly trend, vs just daily.
2. Working on a Correlation Filter to minimize pairs in trade - Minimize pairs=minimized risk.

Both of these will limit the profitability of the EA's, but hopefully what it doesn't make will be made up by what it doesn't lose.

Disliked

1. Daily Range.

So what will exactly happen when the daily range is reached ?
Take profit, get out, stop adding trades ?

If all trades are closed, no additional trades will be started.

Filter is for primary triggering only so that trade sets can still be managed, just not initiated.

Having fun now!!

1. Because of the trend/counter trend exit logic of the EA's, it was a user selection for the Tap Out function.

If this wasn't properly engaged by the user, it could spell a world of hurt for the account, rendering not only the primary exit logic limited, but may even cause damage on multiple primary's and exits in the same bar.

So...I have made the primary triggers as a True/False selection and married their Tap Out logic to this function...meaning...it auto selects the Tap Out once you've selected the primary.

This can still get a little fucked if you try and trade the Magix Scalp with one of the Stochs Triggers, but...well...will see what I can get figured on that, if anything as we go.

2. Doing a little more house cleaning on the code, I have eliminated some of the triggering logic - Aggressive - that wasn't typical for use...this helps shorten up the selections and helps remove some of the possibility of errors in Cost Average selection.

This is really awesome Magix!

I think I suggested doing something like this a while back, about marrying the best of Hybrid and Stochs, YESSSSSS!

I do have a few Q's about this new version.

1. I noticed that Hybrid_Start trigger is gone? Is there any reason why you removed that trigger, and only kept the Magix_Scalp?

2. The previous post showed 2 Tap Out options, but now as you say you have put them together. I was going to ask before what are the main differences are between the Hybrid and Stochs Tap Out versions?

3. I see you removed the Aggressive inputs which is great, as honestly I don't think anyone was using them. Personally I think you could also remove the Hyper and Falling Knives inputs as I doubt anyone is using those equally aggressive input options, but that's just me lol...

Other than that I'm really excited about this next version, this should be fun!

I didn't think anybody actually used the Hybrid_Start...Can Always put it back, but would need to come up with a 3rd Tap Out Logic to marry to it.

Stochs is a more delayed triggering methodology and should be working with the Revolution Cost averaging. Due to this slower trigger and longer range of chart, using the same methodology for it's exits isn't practical. There are 2 different sets of logic that are being employed to watch for Stochs exits, one for a Daily Turn and one for a Weekly Turn.
Magix_Scalp Tapout is looking for the Immediate Trend as it takes trades in the immediate trend and will close out at the first retrace to homeostatic median, dynamically - meaning, once it senses weakness or trend shift, it will exit all trades.
Like this:


I haven't played much with Hyper since I wrote it...but I do use the Falling Knives for when I am taking Manual Trades. I can set the time delay to match the chart and use this in proper grid fashion.

One of my methods of trading is to watch for when my robots are hip high in shit...I will assess the market and speculate the chances of possible success and risk involved. With FK, I can easily move the range to 100 Points, take a trade and just adjust the Delay to the TF I am watching.

Worked a little more with Buzzsaw Last week on the EURAUD collapse on Friday...This was with the Xuicide Triggering as I wanted to play this a little cautiously and by typical standards, I don't like to play against a strong trend on Friday...figured it was worth a shot...

Anywhooooo, this ended up with a net 90(ish) with Summ_Lot adds


Long story short...If I use these tools, rather than having to code one version for me and one for public, I keep all on same ground.

There's a lot of folks playing in our sandbox and we can never be sure who will take some new steps with the existing ideas.

Hey...

Who wants an early copy of "Bitch and a Buzzsaw"??

FREE!!

If you answered yes to this...whether you are currently a part of the thread or not...you will want to read the rest of this post!

I have just launched 5 new Test Accounts all based on the most up-to-date versions of what I am playing with.

Auto Stochs - Most recent version (not released yet) of the Stochastics Trader - working with M15 Trend and M5 No-Nedge and Stochastics Tap Out Logic.
Auto Magix - Most recent version (not released yet) of the Magix_Scalp Trader - working with the standard triggering and Tap Out Logic.
CoCo Magix - Magix Scalp Triggering (not released yet) using EURGBP filtering on 12 pairs - standard Magix Scalp Triggering with Tap Out Logic.
Magix Fixed Lot Auto - Most recent version (not released yet) of Magix_Scalp - working with the Magic 7 pairs, Tap Out Logic and using a Fixed Lot cost Averaging.
Buzzsaw Magix 7 - Working on a Homeostatic trend, Magic 7 pairs - Market Dynamic Exits.

Each of these has a starting balance of what I believe to be required for them to not only survive, but prosper in market.

According to the current market cycle, we should see 2 weeks of Absolute Market CHOP followed by a week that will completely crush Grid Trading EA's...I might be wrong on this one...summer session can be a bit of a See(C) You(U) Next(N) Tuesday(T)!

In any case...whether I am right or wrong, one of these accounts will come out as a leader. Leader in that it will either have the HIGHEST percentage gains for Next Week, or the Lowest Losses, or will just be the LAST ACCOUNT TO BLOW UP!!

So here's the dealio.

Place your Bet on the horse you think will win this race.

All it takes...just name the account you think will be the best and if you are correct, I will email you a (limited trial) of 'Bitch and a Buzzsaw', FREE!

I mean...really...If I release this motherfucker, it's most probably going to be for a charitable contribution anyways, but this gives you a 'Sneak-A-Peak' at how you can work with it.

Sound like fun??

If you have no idea...flip a coin...coins don't lie!
Take a Guess!!
Read some fucking Tea Leaves!!

Really...by simply taking a guess and posting your guess in thread, you have nothing to lose...

Oh yeah...only your first guess will count...must be in by NY Roll Over on Monday, August 27th!

Auto Stochs - Most recent version (not released yet) of the Stochastics Trader - working with M15 Trend and M5 No-Nedge and Stochastics Tap Out Logic.
Auto Magix - Most recent version (not released yet) of the Magix_Scalp Trader - working with the standard triggering and Tap Out Logic.
CoCo Magix - Magix Scalp Triggering (not released yet) using EURGBP filtering on 12 pairs - standard Magix Scalp Triggering with Tap Out Logic.
Magix Fixed Lot Auto - Most recent version (not released yet) of Magix_Scalp - working with the Magic 7 pairs, Tap Out Logic and using a Fixed Lot cost Averaging.
Buzzsaw Magix 7 - Working on a Homeostatic trend, Magic 7 pairs - Market Dynamic Exits.

You have my vote!

Magix with regards to the 5 new accounts above, are you running them to test different logics, and methodologies, and which if are profitable will be put into future release Hybrid versions?

I see how you have amalgamated Hybrid and Stochs into a single Hybrid Loaded Auto version, so depending which of the 5 accounts above pass and survive, then their logic could be put into the new Hybrid Loaded Auto?

Kinda...

My favorite answer...lol

Buzzsaw, I am not going to put into Hybrid Loaded Auto. Just kinda figured that'd be a back pocket EA for the time being.

As for the other 4, there are literally 3 EA's that I have to manage the trades and depending on which way these come out, might just boil down to 2.

Again, due to the more restrained triggering of the Stochastics versions, these are kind of picks of their own. I haven't written CoCo into the mix on these because I am not terribly sure that they'd actually trade live market.

The CoCo applied to the Magix_Scalp, I believe will be a slower but longer term gainer, but when the shit hits the fan, who knows?

Current version of Hybrid Auto has the automatic selection of tap out, but in all honesty and only from visual and selected market optics can I even attest to it's efficacy...meaning, not really sure if this motherfucker is even going to work out...

The CoCo version of this, I have had to code into 2 separate EA's. 1 specifically for GBP and 1 specifically for EUR. So...this really leaves a lot of pairs with potential open for the taking as they are only meant to trade GBPXXX and EURXXX pairs. So, take like, NZDCHF...would the logic still work? It will still trade, and the entries would still be valid to trend, just not so sure that it'd actually even act as intended.

Conversely...CoCo was meant to favor the pair with the greatest apparent strength...but when we see a market reversal, will this be a detriment? Really, the GBP trader will trade the EUR pairs but conversely to the EURGBP strength...so would actually be trading Counter Market Strength based on current market direction...which in itself is not a terrible idea.

Take it like this...if EURGBP is long and EURUSD is long, EURUSD will have a Stronger Trend and probably less Triggers than GBPUSD. At the same time, GBPUSD will have more triggers which could result in greater gains given that it is still working off of 3 exit logics before the trend changes and it starts to look for a tap out opportunity.

Really...you have to do some serious fucking mental yoga to wrap your head around the pretzels of all ideas combined and in this, and even though I have written these motherfuckers, your guess is as good as mine as to which will move on and which will be the worst of the bunch.

Simply put, all of the logic is actually pretty fuckin kewl and is applicable in most market conditions. All of the logic for these will most likely NEVER blow up an account...it will just be down to which will prove to prosper greater against losses...and again...for this...I can only speculate.
