I'm not sure if this has already been addressed but has anyone noticed the order selection error (4108) in the last version of HSA?

Usually caused by incrementing instead of decrementing the OrderSelect loop or by not checking to see if the order has already been closed or a new one has yet been opened, allowing an invalid ticket.

The fix should be relatively straightforward.

{quote} thanks Carlos, did you do any optimization? what parameters do you play with
I just used the sets mrdfx kindly supplied and forward tested them on demo for a few weeks before going live.

You'll probably get different results with brokers so just use the pairs that perform well on your broker and adjust your risk/ lot size to what you are comfortable with. That's all I did and apart from occasional periods of medium DD most of it has been low with between 5-10% profit per month

Yes I picked up on that error a long time ago and FxMadness is aware of it. The error does not seem to affect the trades thankfully an hopefully in the next version is will be fixed along with the other things I mentioned to him.

{quote} Hi mightymatt, I am trading 4 pairs on my live account. I am trading a relatively low lot size now on my account to keep the risk and DD low. Prior to the situation with EURGBP I had been using a higher lot size, but I reduced my position sizing so I don't have a repeat of that happening again. So far DD has been less than 20% which is tolerable for me and yes I do mind telling you my account size lol. Trading this EA is not my main source of trading profits, I do run some other EA's plus my manual trading but it does make a nice little...

Hi montego, I currently trade EURUSD, USDCAD, CADJPY and USDJPY only.

I might change up the pairs in the future as their ADR values change like previously I was trading EUR pairs but moved over to CAD and JPY due to their ADR shifts.

The frequency of trades really depends on the pair, EA settings, time frame and market.

On 1 account trading 3 pairs I'm having an average of 19 orders a week and the other account 38 orders, but they are trading 3 different pairs so it can vary. As a point of reference 1 account trading with V1.2 is averaging 27 orders a week on 4 pairs and the other 18 orders on 3 pairs, so much of a much-ness actually. You can see all the stats on the TE accounts on my profile.

Hi there,

I've really got nothing to add in terms of active use of this EA - but I just want to post another message of thanks to Magix.

Watching this EA do its thing really helped me figure out my own trading system and style. Without it, I'd never have started trading live and would never have seen how invaluable patience is and how it's possible to work your way out of a bad trade.

I've been trading live for just over a year now and I've had only two months where I lost money. I'm still trading small amounts - as I only started with £100 - but what I would have been happy to make in my first month I'm now making in one trade. The power of exponential growth is amazing in trading!

That's all I wanted to say again. This forum really helped me figure out my trading and I want to wish everyone loads of luck using the EA or figuring out their own thing.

Magix, if you ever see this post - thanks a million!

Cheers for the response Makes sense! I've also realise a bit of a schoolboy error on my part. FxMadness' version is actually on a standard non-ECN account, compared to my Hybrid Sessions. I think the difference in spread is clearly having an effect on volume of trades (as obviously noted by Magix in the previous thread).

Glad you've made good progress. Figuring out the best way to compound is great. Whether that is increasing lots, changing to summ start, or increasing pairs with lower lots - many options that suit personal preference or risk appetite.

I hope we hear from Magix soon.

Afternoon All,

For those are you that enjoy analytics - and toying with various settings based on this I discovered (not really a new discovery at all) something I wanted to share.

If you save your MT4 account history as a detailed report, you can upload it to Darwinex.com (create account, upload MT4 statement for backtesting).
I have done so with nearly a years worth of Hybrid data.

Daily Performance

You can see that Mondays, on average have been -29%.
The same with Friday's at -23%.
It might be a suggestion, that over the course of a year if I had ceased opening new trades on Monday and Friday, I would be better off... Now clearly past data isn't an accurate forecast of the future, but we all know that Mondays and Friday's have historically not been the 'best' trading days throughout the week.

Min/Max trade excursions

Click to Enlarge Name: Screenshot3.png Size: 67 KB

Here you can see that there is a generally low excursion per trade. There is the odd spike, where price went up, and the EA has not captured the potential profit - this could possibly be amended but a tighter trailing profit and a lower static profit.

Duration vs profit (pips) of the last 100 already closed trades

Click to Enlarge Name: Screenshot4.png Size: 82 KB

Here we can see based on the graph that losses are held for quite a longtime before being closed. Minimising losses is obviously something we all want, however I think as this is a grid/cost averaging system, it's not always possible to mitigate this. This is less to do with money management and more to do with the core of the strategy which I don't really think we want to alter.

Anyway, I hope everyone is having good success with the ea

Thanks johnsmith2nd, I never thought of this, it a good idea to do some analysis on the account.

I uploaded my Hybrid V1.2 M1 demo test which has been going for around 6 months and the stats weren't so great on Darwinex even though the stats look pretty good on Myfxbook.

It looks like the Darwinex score that has this "Investable Attributes" is a lot more detailed and doesn't score Hybrid so well, but at least on Myfxbook it still looks good.

Interesting. I have seen a similar site called Psyquation, but I suppose these can be quite subjective. One person's risk appetite is different to another, and Hybrids grid system can of course produce more drawdown than most are happy with giving a false positive.
They can be good to give some indication on the strategy, but with a pinch of salt!

My next challenge is to find a setting that exploits the margin, starting with a low deposit. A high risk strategy.

Hi Everyone,

Thanks guys for sharing your stats. I will definitely look into getting some more info on the account.

Basically it started Using Hybrid and then swapped over to RHMC 1.2 a month or two back after having a few issues with Hybrid like everyone has experienced. I have slowly increased the lot size, possibly a little high for the account but it is a small account so was happy to take a little more risk.

The drop in the account at the beginning of August was GBPCD which went into DD a bit and a few people said not to trade it so I closed the trades. I should have kept it on and then deleted it after they closed as it came back just about to the first entry point! Typical but hey hind site is a wonderful thing. This did kill the gain for August but still ended up slightly ahead.

Anyway this is how its performing so far and I'm pretty happy with it. Going to be opening an account with another broker and then moving these funds across so might up the lot size a little more too.

Thanks, Matt.

Has anyone noticed Hybrid Stochs hesitate to take trades when it's placed on more than one chart? I don't see any errors in the journal, and trading on M1 with different magic numbers but trades are only being placed on the first chart where it was attached. I'm using FXM's set file.

Hi Johnsmith2nd,

I'm in New Zealand so have been using Australian brokers however one by one they have stopped dealing with NZ Customers quoting some new regulation. This forced me to look elsewhere and someone suggested myfx markets. They have been ok but seem to take over a week when you want to withdraw funds and they are registered in some random island country. I also tried to contact them via their phone etc when my withdrawal was taking ages and just got redirected, no one ever phoned back and they just hide behind emails. Doesn't make me feel safe now that my account is growing.

I am currently in the process of changing to CMC markets which have an office in New Zealand. They seem like a much larger organisation, offer the leverage I want etc and is nice to know I am dealing with someone local and in 30mins I can be at their offices etc. Never any guarantees but I will feel a lot better having my fund with them.

Account has just ticked over 75% Gain from start so definitely not complaining about that!

Thanks, Matt.
