Disliked{quote} Hi R4M, I used the opposite band and NOT the Midline, because there is still a bug stopping me from testing it with a Midline exit, I am not looking to optimize until I know I can test the same time period with the same settings as you. Your EA is quite simple with just a few parameters, I have EA's what are a lot more complicated, it is the indicator that really slows down the backtesting not using Tick data, but having said that the backtest I posted took just a few hours. So I am not fully understanding your logic regarding just using...Ignored

Disliked{quote} No need to switch. If we are sure algorithm is working (I am sure it will as you are one of the best coders I've seen so far at FF), then the only way to test is forward testing due to repainting (minor or major, does not matter) nature of the indi. Kind Regards, BlackeagleIgnored

DislikedRepainting in the context of this application is a good thing imo. Reason being it makes the band relevant to the current data. Repainting BD band marks the current hilo price levels. There is no way non-repainting band will solve bad signals if that is the intention. The non-repainting band will have it's own set of bad signals. The only true solution around bad signals is not to trade filtered or unfiltered signals off the bands. R4m, if it's not too much I hope you can release a version that remove filters from your signals to signal at touch...Ignored

QuoteDislikedR4m, if it's not too much I hope you can release a version that remove filters from your signals to signal at touch of this BD repainting band.
Disliked@skyway -- I don't understand. I'm not using any filters with the BD strategy -- WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get). I was using a momentum-type filter in the SpikeHunter indicator.Ignored

Disliked{quote} I love the repainting so no complains. This M1 setup is a super scalper, lots of pips.Ignored
Disliked{quote} That’s RBA to a whole new level. Can you handle the DD if volume surges and price continues against you. That’s why timing the trade is a precious skill to have. I like to know how you will determine whether to enter or not on M1. For me I will wait till end of day. End of day for me is end of US session and open of Asian. If the signal is still valid, I will hold my breadth, click the trade button and take a bow...lol. I may be late by a few pips but I am in it for the long run. Regardless of the time frame, I will always respect the end...Ignored
Disliked{quote} If I am not wrong the current signal uses candle close. I propose use candle high or low for touch. I use BB% to time trades. There are plenty of trades and lots of pips if you trade intraday. But beware of false signals. Especially in volatile market sessions - you need to prepare something to warn you of that. {image}Ignored

Disliked{quote} BB% is just bollinger bands represented in a subwindow correct?Ignored
Disliked{quote} Well you would certainly get a lot more trades on M1, so if quantity is the key then it might work well providing the edge is a much greater percentageIgnored

Disliked{quote} The complain with D1 is too slow with too few signals. M1 is too fast. M5 may be just nice for the intraday trader. Or H1 for the conservative, lazy and greedy trader. https://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?p=12368854#post12368854 {image}Ignored
Disliked{quote} Yes, I can see where you are coming from and I see a number of benefits. 1) It can be traded for just a few hours per day (EA gets given trading hours) when the spread should be much lower. 2) Less likely to have Swap costs, which still need factoring into the Daily Strategy. It would require R4M to allow the EA to trade multiple TF's and we could have another thread just to discuss the lower TF's therefore not detracting from the Daily Strategy. I am full-time in this business and have more than one PC to do my testing, so I am happy to...Ignored
