Hi EZ,

here are my week three results for v 1.0 - v 1.1a false - v 1.1a true Week3

I'll crank up v1.3 as well. I've found version 1.1 false to be the best performer. Although it is on
a different Broker to the other two.

Could we have an indication on page 1 of all the versions you want tested and choices
of settings within the EA . I can test 4 at the moment, after that I run out of processing grunt.

Thanks for your work on this.

EZ, does the new version need to be reset daily as well? I keep forgetting to do that.

Hi everybody, EZ

For this week l have tested only (1X) 1.0 and (2x) 1.2
Result are positive 113 Pips (.1*1130) for 1.0
Result are negative 89 and 148Pips on both 1.2 with different brokers...Will continue testing this week...
Just wondering why results are so differents from broker to another...and if we can rely on results based on demo feed...

EZ if you absolutely want to see my .txt file let me know...will post it to you...
Have a nice WE to all

{quote} Hello bro. The Ea 1.3 still has the problem of Sl See image 1 Also, it has a problem of computing the pivots, especially with the pairs of GBP AND CHF. ( can someone else confirm this) ps: testing with 2 brokers. Same problem mentioned above. {image}
It could be different price feeds on the 2 different brokers -- so pivots are calculated differently. I know about the SL. That should be fixed in the next version release ... but I want to test v1.2 and 1.3 more before the next version.

Week 03/2019 results. Comments so far: 1. EA 1.3 looks safer with s/l 5 pips 2. Stop loss 30 pips appears sometimes also in EA 1.3 3. Possibly Monday is a bad day, but I will leave EA open 24/6 to check 4. I cannot judge pivot calculation, but why not use the indicator originally suggested by CM7 at Gorilla system? Thank you EZ and the rest of people for this development. EZ, do the result look any promissng? You can always check at my profile for visual comparison of the two versions of the EA. I have created 2 dedicated explorers. {file} {file}...
Yep, 1.3 looks good this week. Lets keep testing!

I think 1.2 and 1.3 should be tested, but (1) with default settings, and (2) set Sl trailing activation at 10 rather than 5 pips (5 is the default).

Only if it gets in and exits a trade.

Setting up an EA on MT4 is new to me, I have only down loaded 1.3, if I right click a chart, then open expert advisers, then open properties, there is the down load.

Also its in Experts via File/open data folder/ MQL4

But nothing is active

Check first post for installation.
"...To run this EA, put the nonlagdot file in the indicators folder and compile, put the currencySignals file in the include folder (do not need to compile), and the Gorilla_EA_v1.0 in experts folder and compile..."

Please forgive the basic newbie verification... The TS activating option is the big arrow and not below -( set Sl trailing activation at 10 rather than 5 pips (5 is the default).) correct?

Hi EZ,

Here's my results for the past 2 weeks (missed last week).
Couldn't get to the charts before the Friday close so the statements include trades that are still open.

As far as settings, I think I screwed something up.
All EA version settings have been at default, except for:

1.0..... use SL TP: False

1.1 True and 1.1 False:
- use SL TP: True
- SL 30
- TP 90
***I think I have the 1.0 and the 1.1 versions settings reversed***


1.2 and 1.3..... use SL TP: False
pips to trail SL: 5

It looks like you want us to change the pipsToTrailSL to 10, right?

And I have not changed the Trail SL: 0 to deactivate - 0 setting as mentioned by Dogalot's post above in ANY of the versions.

Maybe a definitive word on versions and settings to test is warranted.

Sorry for the confusion.

Hi Ozymandias, can you share the statement of 1.3? Wit Drowdown and other stats.

EZ, can you update first post with rules, etc. What you need us to do. Or can we go crazy with the settings (please not this).

Since 1.3 is based on 1.1's logic, do we have to test both pivot false/true like on 1.1?
