There was one additional modification made to buzzsaw on closing logic and a minor modification to the primary triggering.

I was using bid/ask for closing, but if there are multiple trades open, this logic was insufficient to allow enough time for all trades to close.

So...I went to close and spread to see if this will help.

Have coded up a public release version that will run through September for the Horse Race winners and will be making some changes to the code of the Tap Outs and will run another horse race starting next week - New TEs to be updated.

Closing issues on GBPAUD...

At Point 1., this is still a hit to the account, but not as bad when all trades finally closed at 2.

Auto Magix Won!

Happy Long Weekend!!

A slightly sticky week where quite a few pairs trended rather strongly.

Trading live, usually start trading at market open with stochs2 (default settings)

Come Monday night, I look to get out the market and remove the EA from any pairs with no trades open and let the others close naturally and then shut down. Then it's sit on hands for me.

On a 5k account I was using 8 pairs (probs not a good idea in hindsight) only because I doubt all 8 pairs will kick in simultaneously although of course possible.

This week I managed to close most Monday night bar AUDNZD, USDCHF AND CADJPY.

By Wednesday they were holding around 400 each in DD. come Thursday, audnzd and cadjpy managed to recover.

Usdchf managed by Friday morning be holding about 1500 in DD. It was a large downtrend over past few days.

Anyways, by Friday night, there was a good pull back and DD at market close was at about 400.

In terms of increase in balance, that was about +400. So was sitting on about BE

So definitely be cautious people and look to have good capital, I'd recommend 1500 per pair.

Let me know what you think magix.

On another note, Magix I've noticed a few times now that Hybrid will sometimes buy the tops, and sell the bottoms. It happened last week on EJ selling the bottom, and again last night on EJ buying the top. I'm not sure why it does this, but to me this is how you can get the account into DD fast. I'm really hoping this thing kicks in fast and manages to catch some pullbacks to close out in profit. Is there any way to put a kind of trend filter or limitation that can prevent this from happening in future? {image}
Magix please reply when you can, thanks.

Btw since this post EJ continued melting so the DD is flying high at the moment lol..

Buying tops and selling bottoms is something that I've tried to eliminate with the Tap Out and the User Defined Average Daily Range.

So...just looking at the results of boths Stochs and the Auto Magix and Coco from last week, you can kind of get an idea of what these are doing.

Sure...they can take a loss, but the idea is to minimize these the losses by closing out vs holding and adding.

With the range of the week...the ADR has limited the profitability, and the Tap Out has closed some out in Loss, but for the most part, they still managed to gain without exploding on a week that daily range was consistently blown out of the water.

If there are other angles you think I can look at, feel free to post.

We're all in this together!

Thanks Magix yeah I think with the addition of ADR filter limit that could really help in reducing adding to pairs against the major underlying trend. The thing which I'm thinking is how to help prevent the EA from triggering new trades at the tops and bottoms. If the EA could have opened a sell instead of buy then it would have made some really good profit on the way down, and added as it goes.

In my personal trading I make use of fibo pivots a lot for finding levels for potential reversal points, and many times when price reaches S/R 78, 100 it is a good indication of a potential reversal level, but often and what has been seen many times during this last month with some pairs in strong trends, is that they smashed the S/R100 level and went past S/R138, 161 and 178.

Perhaps if there could be a kind of filter that if/once prices breaks the S/R100 level then no more buys or sells are triggered against the momentum of the trend. Maybe with the ADR filter and the pivot filter it could help in reducing the buying at tops and selling the bottom? Not sure just trying to brainstorm here lol..

This what I had intended to try and implement in Evolution...a Max Trade Range through the use of the TMA + CG indicator, where if price was above the upper band, no more longs and if below the lower band, no more shorts.

The issue with this idea was that eventually and on extreme range plays, the amount of trades piling up counter was a hindrance and huge risk, especially as was applied to GBPAUD and EURAUD. Those motherfuckers never wanted to play proper and in looking at this week...Samsies!

Now...onto Pivot Points...

How many different PP indicators are there in addition to who actually calculates these manually?

There in lies the problem.

No matter which agreed upon method I would choose, I will have a full PM and Email Inbox full of:
"Why didn't you do it THIS WAY?" or "Can you change it to?"

There is a couple of reasons that I don't actually give away all of the information on the triggering logic and methodology of my EAs and for the most part is, nobody can pick them apart and have me make changes to the 150+ possible combinations of opening and closing parameters.

Now...that being said...It would be easy to Drop in a Price Filter that says - No more Longs Above or No more Shorts Below...and that can be done once we are closer to final production...but as far as dropping in a Counter Trade EA...we are already having enough issues with these trading trend and cost averaging in the counter situation so going complete counter trend based on levels is, IMO, counter productive and moving back to where I started with Automation.
