Hi Abokwaik I have enjoyed this thread, thankyou. I have an EA test request, please. I have tested this on commodities with good results. I have been testing exclusively on daily charts but would like to have a quicker way to test more pairs and TFs. My results so far on Gold, Natural gas, Copper, Cocoa WTI and Soybean have earned a total of 5554 pips (combined) since July 2016 (this is correct if I understood the pip count of each chart using the cross-hairs.) The method combines several indicators, firstly Consecutive candles which will give a...
Thank you.

You know why I don't like strats with too many custom indicators. Think if you want to adapt this strategy to a different platform, how much work/cost would be needed.

In this business, I came to believe that smart simple is the way to go.

95% of indicators are different representations of moving averages.

Since you were trading this for a while on comm, can you give me a simpler description, keeping as much as possible of customer indicators out.

I have a new EA proposal quite simple to code for an expert like you, this would be the next martingale (sorry for my bad English):
-A day at an hour X, which must be able to configure, initially I would configure it at 10:50 pm just advance that closes the market in the US will execute two simultaneous orders (BUY AND SELL) X lots that have of being able to be configurable for the user. For a balance of € 1000 I would say that 0.01 is ok
-These 2 orders, SELL and BUY will have a TP also configurable, initially this TP would be 100 pips.
-When one of the two orders arrives at your TP will start the martingale of the following order that remains pending to arrive at TP, we will suppose that arrives at TP the BUY and remains during the SELL.
The seller's martingale would consist of the following:
- Every day at time X initially I would set it up at 22:50 a new order of SELL will be opened, it will have a configurable multiplier factor. Initially we would put it in X4, so that if the first order was 0.01 lots, the second one will be 0.04 the third 0.16 ... etc ...
- The TP also of this new order will also vary depending on the number of SELL orders that are opened, multiplying by x2 at each level the TP obtained in the BUY order that has reached a good level:
Taking as reference TP of 100 pips that has arrived at good port BUY = € 10
If you shoot it with 2 levels = 0.04 lots, TPx2 = € 10 x2 = € 20
If you're martingala with 3 levels = 0.16 lots, TPx2x2 = € 10 x2x2 = € 40
And so on.
-You will not open any new order BUY until the SELL order also arrives at TP.
-When BUY AND SELL arrive at TP, it will reopen two simultaneous commands at time X (initially at 22:50)
There will also be a margin protection of%, if 20% loss is achieved, all operations will be closed, at 2:50 p.m., two simultaneous orders will open simultaneously buy and sell
This system started with acount of € 2000 with 0.1 lots 3 years ago and now it's 50000e ... running only in EURUSD, and at the highest level it has reached 6,4 lots where it has gained profit or has made a 20% margin , I think it can be a profitable system.
Thank you very much for your great work.

Hi Abokwaik, Awesome thread and idea. Thank you for taking the time to help others test their ideas. The strategy/system I wanted to ask you about is very simple. On the higher times frames like D1,W1,M1 Steps 1. At the start of a new candle, 1.1 The EA should open a buy and sell trade of the same lot size. 2. At the start of the next new candle, 2.1 The EA should check if there is a trade in profit and close that trade. 2.2 Of the profit that was made in step 2.1 the EA should use half the profit to close some of the biggest losing trade. 2.3 Open...

As you can see here the EA is up 70% before the big loss appears, so almost double original account size yet the lots remain the same the start.
Would it be possible to add a lot to balance function to increase lots as the account grows please?

6. {C}Multiplication: 1.2.4.8.16… ..

The method of work :
1- Opening a position at the start automatically by the specified lot size.
2- Change Tp for all trades on each reinforcement.
According to the following equation: Tp for the last double position covers us all floating loss + profit of the last position.
3- Return to the beginning lot.

[quote][/quoteAbokwaik]-I came to believe that smart simple is the way to go.

Hi Abokwaik, and I am of the same opinion. I'm asking for a coding for an absolutely simple strategy that works. The input is based on 1 indicator that I apply. I do it at the end of a candle on M15 and when MA> 0 - Sell and MA <0 then Bai. This means from signal to signal. If you do not want to work continuously there must be a clock with a beginning and an end. Of course, the indicator gives false signals that disappear, which is why we put stop and TP. If the SL or TP is hit, the robot is stopped and the robot enters the next signal. So the robot should have the following functions: 1. Start time 2.Stop time 3.TimeFrame 4.Lots 5.TProfit 6.StopLos 7.Magicnumber
I am working with a progressive increase in the lot on the balance sheet to make the most of the leverage I have by defining it so Lот = Capital X 0.03 / 100.
At work I use the TP 100 and SL 100 as insurance for sudden movements and the operations will be completed at the next signal. There are false signals with a negative result and those with a lower positive profit, but this is part of the game. What matters is the end result, which is always positive, but it is very difficult and impossible for me to be on the screen around the clock, so please, if you have the opportunity to create this robot. Thanks for the attention and have a nice day, illuminated by light.

Another really great thread. And a subject that is close to my heart
Like most on this thread i had a penchant for automating my trading, after several years of trading manually and semi automated

I tried to get EA`s coded, but the cost and the time it takes put me off. I couldn't do it myself, but knew of those who could
I looked at signals and robotic systems and again , the cost and accuracy put me off. It appeared that certain individuals and companies made a living out of just selling their signals or robots. Not what i was looking for

So i decided to do something myself about this as if i was going through this, there must be others too,.
Especially as how the need for a "system" to be adaptable to adjust on market conditions was quite high.

Three years ago i shut my door, and went to the drawing board and discussed my ideas with a team of developers.
I wanted to create a way where I could simply create a set of rules for my strategy and other strategies and test it and them , all of this quickly without coding knowledge.
I also wanted to create something that would then if i was happy automate all of my trades for me and risk manage the entire process for each trade and overall strategy, so i didn't need to do it myself.
Some people thought i was mad as that is exactly what the banks do, and spend millions on infrastructure to do it.
And i didn't have millions.

Maybe i was mad, but i was (and still am) a determined individual, with a desire to make a difference to my life and others around me.

Now 3 years later, I have it. And it works wonderfully. And it costs me nothing to run it, only an internet connection
My "alleged" madness paid off.
And in the time it takes to read this post, i can create a system, back test it an set it to run live as a 100% automated strategy

Inspirational stuff that proves if you have an idea and stick with it, you can achieve what you set out to do.
I hope that inspires some to see that whatever you want , you can achieve it, and more

INDICATORS: 100 MA for trend determiner, 5 MA (High), and 5 MA (Low).

a. If price above 100 MA, Bullish bias.

b. When price closes at or above 5MA(High), set a buy stop at the high of that candle, with stoploss at the low of the candle.

c. Lock 8R when price closes beyond 10R, and keep trailing by 2R until stopped out.

d. If stopped out for a loss, enter a buy again when another bullish bar closes above the 5MA (High), buying at the high and SL at the low.

e. Stack trades daily in line with the trend, as determined by the 100ma. That is, regardless of the current state of any trades opened from yesterday, keep taking trades setups that meet the criteria today. For example, ytd first trade was stopped out, the next was also stopped out, the third is surviving presently, and today price is still above 100 ma, as soon as we get a candle that closes at or above the 5ma, we buy again, and continue the process.

f. With a starting account balance of 1k USD, risk 5 USD per trade.

e. H1 charts.

Reverse for sells.

Kindly test the below strategy that I use on M15 timeframe:

NOTE: Opening of positions are limited to the following time windows only:

  1. 7AM to 9AM GMT
  2. 12NN to 2PM GMT

DO NOT OPEN A POSITION OUTSIDE THE SAID WINDOWS EVEN IF THE FOLLOWING BUY AND SELL CONDITIONS ARE MET.


OPEN BUY POSITION WHEN ALL CONDITIONS ARE MET:

  1. M15 candle CLOSES above EMA 5 (shift 2, applied to typical price [HLC/3]
  2. M15 candle CLOSES above Bollinger Bands (Period: 50; Deviations: 0.2; applied to close)
  3. Stochastic (11,3,3) is above 50
  4. RSI (10) is above 55


OPEN SELL POSITION WHEN ALL CONDITIONS ARE MET:

  1. M15 candle CLOSES below EMA 5 (shift 2, applied to typical price [HLC/3]
  2. M15 candle CLOSES below Bollinger Bands (Period: 50; Deviations: 0.2; applied to close)
  3. Stochastic (11,3,3) is below 50
  4. RSI (10) is below 45


OTHER PARAMETERS:

Position Size per trade: 2% risk to capital

Target Pips per trade: 50

Stop Loss per trade: 25 pips

Move SL to Breakeven + 1 pip upon reaching 25 pips

Move SL to Breakeven + 26 pips upon reaching 35 pips

Close positions upon hitting the 50 pips target


Looking forward to the results.

Cheers!

HI Abokwaik ,

I have an idea combining TMA original and reversal strategy using Martingale Reversal Strategy. For example when Original strategy hit SL, Next Signal is reversal with increasing lot, when Hit SL, Next signal is Original Strategy with increasing Lot, .. Market will trend or sideways somehow.. Could you please include this on TMA Reversal EA ?

Looking forward to hear good news from you Khalil.

Regards

Edward
