No mate. It's run non-stop. I do stop my PC during Friday close - Monday open of the market but the EA is run non-stop.

Hi guys,

If anyone is thinking of trading tomorrow or has postions open I would highly recommend you at least limit £ and € exposure. There is a crunch Brexit vote here in U.K. parliament tomorrow (Tuesday 14th) and it’s the most significant vote on Brexit since the public referendum in 2016.

Peace and Pips

Could you provide the config for the 5M chart?

Sorry I don't understand what you mean.
Are you talking about the indicator to show the statistics?

No issues with EURusd and usdcad during slight downward movement.

Regarding everyone who got burned due to recent Aussie trend, has anyone thought of how we can avoid this? Is anyone able to backtest with updated settings to see if it would survive such a trend again? I would but lack computing power to conduct any form of backtest and zero know how.

Hi RisingSun, I was asking for the settings of the EA that you use, I was trying my own settings and it did not open any positions.

{quote} Regarding everyone who got burned due to recent Aussie trend, has anyone thought of how we can avoid this?
Well, my solution so far is only trading GU, UJ, EU, and EJ pairs in 5 min with a 100 step and .01 step. I started the account on the 21st December with 2.5K and the maximum DD that I've seen is -300 USD during the new year crash but usually stays around -20 USD. I do not know if this is the solution, but I think that is best to avoid pairs that have AUD, NZD, CHF and CAD.

I think that the best is only to trade pairs that usually open between 1 and 10 positions and if it starts to open more to manually close one position at a time to maintain the between 6 and 10.

Looking back at the flash crash and how it affected so many pairs, and how it blew 2 of my accounts, and after doing some back tests to see what settings could have survived it, I would say that having a much larger account balance to handle the DD or having lower risk settings could have perhaps helped.

I was not running high risk set ups per say and if I had set a more safe setting it might have survived, but running that setting would not make as good a profit.

I have started 2 new accounts with adjusted settings that should be a lot safer if a similar situation arises again, but these accounts will grow a lot slower.

I guess slow and steady wins the race in this business.

So far so good. Just hit 20% return.

Still need to feel confident that this will survive long counter-trend. Further, I am unsure whether I should have the TapOut feature active or not and what effect it has on my account should it be on..?
  • #1,912
  • Jan 18, 2019 12:53pm Jan 18, 2019 12:53pm
I'm wondering if someone can cast their eyes over my settings. EA entered sell, but market went bullish. There was no cost averaging. Is this not what the tapout feature should do? Could it be that I had a powercut about 3 hours after the trades were taken which lasted for about 3 hours in total?

I'd be very grateful for any guidance. Thanks

So its been a sad start to 2019 for Hybrid v1.2. Having almost reached +1000% profit in 8 months, the Hybrid v1.2 account did not survive. With the weakness of AUD and the strong downtrends since beginning of December, Hybrid could not hold on any longer and blew out. It was doing so well, and I really thought it would get itself out of the hole like it has done so many times before, but with a -700 pip drop on AJ and near -400 pips drop on AU, the counter trend logic could not hold on any longer. This has been a learning curve for me...
I also blew my 2 accounts,what was the reason of that hype on market in the last week of December? specially on 31st?

I think this this has to be the approach, if we want long term security with hybrid or any other counter trend trading system.

I agree that AUD, NZD, and even JPY pairs have been tricky ones. However no pair is safe from a flash crash and as this system is designed to mostly be an automated counter trend trader - the best way to ensure survival is to either intervene manually or adding stops (I find it difficult to judge when this would be appropriate with hybrid - but trade position amount limiting could be a solution) or adjusting risk/account size to accommodate big dips - as in really big like 4,5,600 pips maybe more. It’s just not possible to predict when all these crashes might happen - nobody saw that Aussie flash coming. So unfortunately I suspect that Profit growth has to be sacrificed to ensure long term success with this strategy

Have to say I am impressed with Magix’s Hybrid Sessions TE - survived December with not too much stress and has a good amount of Aussie exposure

johnsmith2nd from looking at your settings you seem to have only 1 cost averaging logic being used. Perhaps adding Hybrid_Start & RevolutionNN_Start will increase the cost averaging and you will see more action.

I would also increase the time delay and step order, they are set quite aggressive.

In all of my back and forward testing I did not find using the TapOut function beneficial or more profitable so I have set to false.

I would also suggest to set the Minimal Trailing Profit to 3 if you are using 0.03 lots to get more profit.

Thanks for the reply. I will test with hybrid start cost average. Just to confirm I should change settings from 200 to 0 (zero being cost averaging starts after the first trade level?) These settings are relatively aggressive, and my conservative account has a much higher time delay and step order where I am seeing very steady profits. Thank you again.

I just started this live account after a long time testing with 2 pair only EUR/USD and EUR/GBP 1105 balance on the account and i am to add 1 pair at every 6-800 increase in equity i am not to increase lotsize at all.I can see you use 0.03 and 20 step and around 1000 in balance that is agressive and if you can make that work i will take my hat offHere`s my settings i havent found tapout as is any helpful either

Yes to activate one of the cost averaging inputs change it to 0.

Personally I've been using a 300 time delay and 100 step and its been good at making profits but still relatively safe.

Thank you, I have been using 300 time delay and 100, bearing in mind i'm on M5 charts too.

Will there be conflict of using multiple cost averaging methods? i.e. hybrid start + rev NN etc?
