Hi EZ, here are my results for Week4, they are all in profit. {file}
Nice! Was v1.3 just the default settings?

At the end of the month next week, that would be great if everyone who has been testing for 3-4 weeks to post their entire trading results for the entire time. After that, I'll work on the next (and hopefully final) version.

Regards,
EZ

{quote} Great results! For v1.3, did you just run with the default settings? extern bool weeklyPivotFilter = true; extern bool EnableTrading = true; extern bool wantLongs = true; extern bool wantShorts = true; extern bool AutoPipsFromEMA = true; extern int pipsFromEMA = 20; extern int pipsToTrailSL = 5; extern int EMAdistance = 5;
Post 147 are my settings for last week. If you use the data on the spreadsheet – don’t use sheet2 for your calculations - they are not all the same setting

Hi EZ,
I thought the "pipsToTrailSL" was supposed to have been changed to 10 for v 1.2 and 1.3

I believe EZ made that comment from the trading activity (submitted results) with the setting "5" - "1st (or second ) round submitted results" - "to see what 10 will do" ... Just to clarify, when the results "you" submit, just be sure it is clear what 'settings' you used for the duration (currently I think there are at least 9 possibilities)... Whatever 'set up' you were running is what EZ needs to know.

Hi EZ, that one was with default values on ver 1.3 - last week was done with trail of 10 pips. If you need any variations
on the trailing tested let me know. It will be clearer when we pick the best performing pairs.

Hi EZ,

Here's my month of test results.
Unfortunately, for the first three weeks, I had the 1.1 (True) and 1.1 (False) "Use TP and SL" set to true. The past week has been correct.
Hope this is still useful.

Cheers!

Gorilla v1.1 default options. I plan this week not to start on Monday and change default target from 150 to 90 pips.
Gorilla v1.3 this week with s/l at 10pips, but changed back to 5 on Thursday as performance was not good. Again, I plan not to start on Monday.

Thank you EZ!

Thanks everyone for posting the monthly results. As I have time this week I'll analyze and post my findings here. Hopefully this can guide us in the future what works and what does not work which I can implement in the next version.

Thanks,
EZ

Just a curiosity - this is the GEA1.3 with 10 TS (though the TS t doesn't matter for this question)... Why didn't the EA get in earlier - closer to the 30 -- or was the completion of the candle the trigger for this trade to execute? See the retracement to the 30 and thought it might be the EA waiting for a "closed candle" but that didn't seem to fit either. Just wondering... EURUSD - not exactly sure the time - but closer shot...

Lot of reasons but you have to check them with your settings and checking some of them is only possible on the moment you see an entry but the EA does not take the trade, not afterwards.


// v1.1 - added EMAdistance which will verify that the distance from the EMA4 to EMA15 and EMA15 to EMA30
// is at least x pips. This will prevent entries when prices are flat and little to no distance between EMAs
// - added prevEMA4 and prevEMA15. This is the previous value of the EMA's 1 hr back. EMA4 must be > prevEMA4
// and EMA15 must be > prevEMA15 for longs. Opposite for shorts.
// - added AutoPipsFromEMA. If this is set to true, then pipsFromEMA = 30 for larger moving pairs, and 20 for normal pairs
// - added NLD filter so 5 min NLD and 15 min NLD (shorter term trends) must align to everything else for buys/sells
// - added if beyond daily R2, then exit on 5 min NLD change.
// - notification of reason for exiting after trade closed in upper right part of the screen.
// - move SL to b/e once R1/S1 hit
//
// - added option to only trade if price above/below weekly pivot (weeklyPivotFilter). if weeklyPivotFilter = true:
// - price > weekly pivot
// - 4hr EMA4 > EMA15
// - 4 hr EMA4 > prev. EMA4 (same for EMA15)

I attached my results from the last 3 weeks from my demo account, the 2 initial weeks I used 1.3 false then swith to 1.1 true this week (0.10 lots) and have better results.

I am thinking in put in real account 1.1 True but i have some doubts, the trades must be manually close or its better to let the E.A. do the work? any recomendation on using this version of the EA on real?

Thanks a lot!

Hi EZ, here's my results for the Month. I've included the html and csv files. Is is possible to close trades at the appropriate time within the EA Daily? save doing it manually. ver 1.1a trail 5 pips false weekly ver 1.1a trail 5 pips true weekly ver 1.0a default values ver 1.3 trail 10 pips {file}{file}
Here are the results summariez. I also considered if we didn't trade the ones with 25% or less win rate (in the future eliminate these trades). It looks like v1.1a trail 5 pips with weekly pivot = false is the best results.

I'll modify the EA and make a new version to close at the end of the day and reset automatically. I first want to take a look at other peoples results as time permits.

Regards,
EZ

What broker is that? Horrible commissions. It really eats into the profits!
