GirlFlyer,

Have you tested your Flyers with different MaxBars values in the CheckToOpenBuy and CheckToOpenSell functions? I see it is set to 5, which I think means the initial crossover has to totally occur within 5 time periods.

Have you found 5 to be optimal? Have you seen a downside to setting that higher? I see a trade today that would have occurred except the MAs intermingled for about 8 periods before the crossover fully completed. Would that indicate a weak crossover and thus no trade is opened?

Thanks,
jdl
Yes, I have tried changing the values... 5 turned out to be about the best.

Will version A and B interfere with one another on the same demo account, that is, trades made from A will not affect trades made from B?
You can use both versions in the same demo account, but not on the same currency pair. I plan on fixing this problem on the next release, as I already realized there would be a conflict there.

I found this something usefull to anybody would like to increase their modelling quality for backtesting...let's have a look

Consumer,

25% is the maximum you can achieve using the M1 chart settings by the nature of the formula used to calculate that figure. This is proven by the documentation on the MT4 website (http://articles.mql4.com/93 ). Otherwise, the info about higher modelling quality is good.

This is my settings screenshot..since its not make my trading loss from yesterday..Im quite confident that today it would generate profit again to my account..so I dont change it till now.Maybe u need to improve somemore at ur code to recognise the market movement precisely.Anyway Im glad to test ur EA as on my opinion someday it would be 90% accurate to enter or exit the market especially for its favourite currency like GU,GJ,EG or any other currencies..TQ
Consumer,

I'm not one to say anything generally, but you can't expect to get accurate results on a long term basis with the equity at 50%. One or two wrong trades and your account will be down to nothing in a hurry.

GirlFlyer,

In the Version A, USDJPY, had initiated an order today, but the top left hand corner does not display "1 Open Order, Equity=.....". On other currency pairs, I do not have that problem.

It doesn't seem to be consistent, now it appears while others it disappears... no matter since that is not important....

I just checked this thread out for the first time and was wondering if anyone has done some substantial forward testing.

I ask this as I am not a fan of backtesting. I've seen some EA's score 90% and over on backtests only to fail miserably in real life.

Does anyone have some forward testing results?

Thanks,

hey bago, good buddy! Im sure you remember our great debate, if you dont mind me calling 'it' that. Everything aside from that, Im doing a little forward testing. MoneyMaster has done a little more than me as noted in the past posts but as of right now, only 24 hours i have had 1 bad trade(the first trade). I do have a lot open(4), but as of right now they are all negitive but by only a few pips, the highest is -18 but thats cable the rest are -8 and lower. Il post back in a few days with something. As of right now, these results i have posted are to be taken very very lightly. Id almost admit not to take these seriously. Im just posting whats on my screen! Im using Version B with Version B recommended settings. Check back in a few days, or by the end of the week next week, and il post what has happened so far.

Thanks my man. I look forward to your results.

There's nothing wrong with a disagreement. I dont take any of it personal, and I always hope to walk away with something learned.

Keep up your good work here...

By the way... Which is the more profitable EA? A or B???

I am forward testing Version A, it seems pretty good not until the Asian Session last night which all are floating in negative territory. I wanted to test Version B also, but I do not know how to open another MT Session since it will not open another window.....

Bago welcome to my thread,

Long term back testing and by logical reasoning says Version A should be more profitable than Version B. But B should do better in tight ranging markets... I'm working on the forward testing and I've had decent results so far. Some bad trades too, of course. I'm having consistency issues with my forward testing right now because of internet and software problems which are disrupting the flow of tests. But I can say that Cable seems to be the most profitable and most accurate pair. Of the 2 weeks I've been running this, I've taken 3 losses vs 8 wins on Version A.

I will try to post a full results over the weekend. I also encourage those who are testing to do the same, because I also believe that starting times of EA's which can be different will also affect results.

I admire your energy, commitment and intelligence.
From now I also started to test Flyer(A), attached it to the chart, but have to check something in the code, before making any comments.

Good day

I echo the positive sentiments expressed above and elsewhere. Thanks GF.

I am currently running B with 7 of 8 possible trades now open. Showing 10 pips profit overall caused by an open loss on A for cable of 42 pips. A current total of 8 trades open. GBPUSD is the only one running on A.

I'll post final results over the weekend.
Do not focus on making money; focus on protecting what you have.

I just wanted to tell everyone thank you for the positive compliments with regards to my EA. I appreciate that you are trying things out and liking the results and recognize the time involved with developing such a project. I really believe it is helpful to get as many people involved as possible because more variations and ideas arise from such. If I were doing this by myself being greedy perhaps in the forethought of "Hey if this is successful, shouldn't I keep it to myself...", I don't think we would be accomplishing as much as we are.

Again, Thank you!

Consumer,

Version B (the one you are using) doesn't perform very well on the 15 minute period. The correct 30 minute period will slow down the multiple trades you are getting. It looks like you are using the settings from Version A. Look at post #58. It has all the settings for Version B.
