Thanks for your work Richard, I'm running the GBPNZD on 15m at the moment and getting good results.
An MT5 version would be really good.

Blessing is very good in trend detection/Price Action + combining trailing stop is fantastic idea.
I may try with 28 pairs Basket trading style. But for now running with GBPNZD only.

Hi Paroucia.

Which broker, pair & timeframe did you use his set file? I've been testing richard set file to GBPNZD 15minutes IcMarket-ECN, out of 6 closed in profit, none closed in loss yet. Right now one buy trade still floating with profit and may hit TralingStop. And I do not think, blessing will open trade against the trend and tralingstop will not start from Break even point.

Therefore, I will be amazed to see RED trade with these settings. Bad trades happens but i'm positive about richad's version + set files.

You really need to optimize set files for YOUR broker. Every broker is different. Their data is different. I have three brokers and that set file only works on the one I optimized it for. It doesn't even come close on the others. When I use that set file as a starting point for the other two brokers it hardly helps. They are that different. When someone reports my set files work for them I'm pretty surprised. It might be a good starting point -- but not always.

And it is a very green set file. No forward testing at all when I posted it. Even the best backtesting set files often fail when forward tested.

Hi Richard, I'm trying to optimise my back tests. As you say, you need to do this for your own broker, could you advise which settings do you change the most when you're tinkering to get the best results. thanks

So when i used his set file in demo and my account turned into $4000 in two months. But then Richard's advice to give portion of your account size so instead allowing $10,000 or $100,000. simply allow 1% or 2% of your account balance that's equal-ant to approx $2000 to XAUUSD with 50% equity stop-loss which Means you are allowing $1000 breathing room to profit/loss...
Hi Fareed,
Thanks for the detailed reply. I've been trading a few years now but still consider myself inexperienecd compared to other but I can work out the trends. From what you said it doesn't appear that blessing will trade the trend for you automatically and is where I was coming from. As I'm part time trader, around my main job, it would have been nice to have an input in the EA that you could enable to trade the trend on the chart timeframe you preffered. Not sure whether Richard could write this into the EA in a future version....would be nice!!
ATB & good luck to all...

Forcing Blessing to only trade in one direction is already in there. Check out ForceMarketCond.
I consider Blessing's trend finding ability to be very good. This is part of how it's possible to optimize it to trade well over multiple years of history.

Hi Richard
I've tried the ForceMarketCond and tried it in the buy only and sell only modes but I found it does not necessarily always trade automatically in the direction of the current trend.
Obviously as Fareed pointed out if you have time to sit at the pc and draw trend lines and continually monitor for trend change and change the ForceMarketCond manually, this can be done but unfortunately with a full time job, mrs and kids I can't do that! (hopefully maybe in the future though!).
Thanks for all your great pointers....
Cheers

I have not tried Blessing in any mode other than automatic. I would be surprised if it doesn't work.

I try to look at Blessing as little as possible while it's working. That's the whole point of a trading robot.

My guess is that you're not getting the results you want because your Blessing is not well tuned. I have setups that have almost no losing trades for months in a row. And I have others that I test that don't work quite that well. So I just trade the good ones. When they stop working well I stop them and replace them with better ones. Or they stop themselves.

Don't trade setups that don't trade well on Demo. Great back-testing is not enough. Forward testing is very important.

If Blessing is set up well you don't have to watch it. That's the whole point. Blessing almost always does a better job than I would do.

Part of successful trading with robots is always having forward testing running on Demo accounts. As many as you have time for. I have almost a hundred EAs trading on Demo on all kinds of pairs and time-frames.

That's just the top of the list. There are at least as many losers as winners. The winners are sorted to the top so I can grab them and trade them. This is the incubator.

Trading without forward testing is gambling. Don't do it.

How many of you were unaware of the necessity of incubating your EA setups?

Even if your setup parameters are based on bird droppings on the sidewalk, if they Demo-trade profitably you're ready to make money!

I would like share my experience with Blessing 3.9.6.09 This is an EA developed by JTAToday. It is one of the stable EA around. most difficult thing with this EA is set files. I have developed few set files for EURUSD, GBPUSD, XAUUSD. All of them perform well. Good stable returns for anyone who is looking for such. Caution: Use it according to your own risk appetite. Test it well. Also maintain proper Account Balance. Do not use it on small account balances. You can use ex4 version. mq4 is uploaded, for anyone who wants to modify. Not sure why one...

I noticed you were on Ultron as well. Did you ever go live with this EA, or did it become more risk than it was worth?

{quote} I noticed you were on Ultron as well. Did you ever go live with this EA, or did it become more risk than it was worth?
This is running on Live. this is still the safest EA i have been using.

Blessing works, it will become habit, once in on these big events you shut it down, on NFP i shut it down manually. Long run Blessing is still the best, the way it handles spikes. I have seen it handle 300pip movement. Now am using 0.01 lot on 10000 with all 3 pairs. Risk is low and reward is low as well.

And i do trade manually on aggressive basis, to keep my urge of trading. Seeing market movements, it usually kicks in - Urge, thats where i use manual trading. I use Ichimoku for manual trading.

when it is running, I do spend time analysing some of good EAs around and do follow other threads, where i get a promising EA, i spend time on helping it further.

As mentioned in my first post, i have learned trading here on Forexfactory, it helped me get slowly a better trader than i was few months / years ago.

Hello Richard,
Yes, it worked well when I have changed from 'bool' to 'int'as suggested by you. Again thank you very much.
Regarding the compiled version (open price mode) posted by you, are you suggesting it to use only for backtesting or can we apply it for real account also ?

It works for me. I've fixed a few bugs in the original Blessing that I found troubling.

Some folks had complained elsewhere that it would attempt to place larger trades than available margin, which can cause big problems with brokers. I noticed that on my own accounts too. So I fixed that. It now checks available margin (and available 'Portion') just before placing orders. I wanted to make sure Blessing would be safe with multiple copies running on the same account.

So it contains improvements for backtesting and trading.

Test it first, of course. And please report any problems.
