Hey !

I hope you are all fine and in good shape at the beginning of this new year.

During this long silence, I took profit of the time to question myself about my trading. A long story short I finally came to the conclusion that I lack the
necessary consistence and patience and maybe time also to trade properly and just by my own rules without breaking them.

That's why during all that time I have been developing an EA that trades just the system discussed here with some custom adjustments and extras.

The EA will not be published as it has been a lot of work (currently version 66), and I still don't know if it will be profitable live, and also because I think that everyone
has enough material in this thread to create its own.

So my posts from now on will be mainly to update about how the EA is doing.
The goal for me being letting it do its job whatever the result are and above all not entering any manual trade !

I wish you all success in 2021!

For the records, this is what the EA reports for 2020 Back testing.

Hi visionxp, Thank you !
Unfortunately I won't publish the EA, it has been and it still is a hard work that I just can't give away as is, and more than that, even if the back-tests show promising results I still don't know if it's really profitable live, sorry to disappoint.

It's going like you see in the explorer.
Yes, 80% is based on same logic as explained in this thread plus some extra trades based on observations.

First month where the EA traded almost without problem.

The flat result reflects perfectly what happened, one small down trend that produced some profit followed by almost flat market which erased the profit, making the month flat. Looking forward for the month of February.

In the meanwhile I have been able to improve the profit of the EA without deteriorating its drawdown, character and profit curve.
I will be posting every month one year back tests from current date to see how it evolves during the year and if the live result curve follows the one from the back tests.

One year back tests from end of January.

Thanks! It took some time but went well, anyway it's just a good start.
Remains to be seen if it keeps the gains like in the back-tests before the next up leg.

Keep it up BT.

Have been following your thread since beginning, can see you're improving especially to take partial profits. very good move.
Sometimes the only missing piece you look for is money management.

Well, it's a bit early to say it's successful Let's wait at least the end of the year...
I know that as soon as some sustained trend is there like right now it produces very good results, the problems arise when the price ranges for a while, all the difficult work and what I try to mitigate is there, thank you !
