My testing of Swing HyLo on a micro account with balance $10. My style is I don't hold trades more than a week.
Either I close manually or it hit TP of 150 pips.

Week 1 -

Week 3 - Previously I used v5, now I've changed to v7. There's a chance for me to close with 200 pips gain but I was indecisive at the time.

Week 4 - I don't have screenshot, but a 50 pips gain. It started to get small since I've dropped GBP pairs.

Needless to say, my account is doubled.

Candyman can you checked whether the code for TP is different on v5 and v7?

Because on v7 I set TP to 25 pips but it didn't follow. The TP is as far as 100 pips.


Also I've checked all the trades taken, there's a 90% rate of reversal success.

Meaning of all the trades the EA took, before I close them manually, the opposite signal would've reach profit earlier.
And remember, I don't even hold trades that long either, just a week max.

So I guess bottom line is, both this strategy and the reversal works.
If you're trading weekly, you can't go wrong with either one of them. The drawdown ain't so bad either.

Wow
Thanks buddy. These are good results. The EA's that started using swing concept are good if you intervene. The only snag is the trade sending control.
I am also doing what you are doing of not holding for a week.

Traders we have superb results from deathkult. Some One independent of me giving you results. Though on ff you got to be careful.
I could be conniving with the guy. Read scammers hall of shame to see the level of crookedery exposed on FF.

When I do back tests with TP what I observed is sometimes it inserts the TP sometimes does not. Kindly requesting coders out there to please assist us with a stable code for the same.

Based on my limited testing:

In 41 trades, only 4 doesn't have reversal success. So there's 37 potentially profitable reversal trades (90%).

Of those 37 trades, only 14 trades didn't reach half of their ADR, the lowest is 15 pips before they went the other way.
So if I really really want them all to turn into winners, I could just set lower TP maybe less than 15 pips lol.

So the rest of the trades, 23 of them, at least reached half of their ADR, with 9 trades exceed them.

Going forward for the reversal strategy, in my opinion is to set the TP according to each pair's ADR.

If you can crack the trade limit and TP, that would be gold.

Forgive my simplistic analysis. It's also very possible that I've overlooked something, or maybe just lucky after all. And the duration is also very short (1 month)
But that's all I can afford since I'm a busy also lazy man.

It's really lonely here with just me and you and majamivice.
But no matter, we'll persist.

When I'm using v5, the TP is set perfectly. But it is 150 pips. Right now I'm using v7 with TP 25 but it is wild I tell ya. Sometimes it set TP to 100, 72, I couldn't find a pattern to be honest haha

I will try to change back to v5 and set it to 25, see if it works or not.

I also think that some how the EA has been lucky because of the bugs. Anyway the only way to know is to fix it. This morning I am on to it. Since I now have a working shell I will transfer the six setups that swing Hy Lo Daily has

The word daily in the name of the EA Swing Hy Lo Daily refers to the candles used to determine swings. It usually takes a week for a swing to be seen.

It's only for examples right?

These cannot be applied to pairs other than USDCAD?

What I am doing is I look for the setup. I then code it. There after I take a snap shot for future reference. Also for users to know which setups have been coded.
These setups I believe are for any pair.
