Hi, tried to implement a TrendFilter like the one made by Thang in the closed source - feel free to test and use at your own risk https://github.com/fraggli/Icarus/tree/4.73-Trend {image}

Thank you fraggli.

i did my own edits on the chart display parameters from your version.

may i ask, if those settings (Below snippet) is necessary to code in? ( for the EMA indicator )


______________________________________

// #019: new button: Stop Next Cyle, which trades normally, until cycle is closed
if(Use_BB Use_Stoch Use_RSI || Use_CCI)

______________________________________

bool Indicators_Buy()
{
bool BB_ret, STO_ret, RSI_ret, CCI_ret;
______________________________________

bool Indicators_Sell()
{
bool BB_ret, STO_ret, RSI_ret;

{quote} In the referenced ea only the parameters %MagicNumber%, %Auto_Risk%, %MM_Depo%, %Lots%, %SetName%, %TimeFrame% can be used for the custom comment function. OK ?

i couldn't find the code line, about output for [order_comment].

I wished to insert the order_comment, with [%MagicNumber%].
For myself to compare running 2 charts but using different Magic of Icarus, to observe the performance.
_______________________________
best is that, let user input the order_comment via EA GUI via [%MagicNumber%]. sorry for making troubles.
_______________________________

Edited (another idea) = Able to display that, which indicator type was the order signal triggered from.

Eg. EA order's comment = icarus. 11235. RSI.

Hello folks,

I have decided to share my work with everyone here as a token of appreciation to everything these threads have been teaching me. I took on the challenge of converting Ikarus_4.73 to an mq5 version. Reason being, I believe its easier to optimize, and test with more reliable data, using the MT5 database. Nevertheless, I probably will not update further as I am working on other projects, and this was simply a learning opportunity I wanted to challenge myself with. I used the version found through fraggli's github link. I didn't test on demo or live, but ran it a few times on tester and seems to work as intended. Hope this helps someone out there. Again, all credit goes to everyone who helped develop this EA up to this point, I simply converted it.

Good luck to everyone!

[quote=DavidRol2o;14081778]Hola amigos, he decidido compartir mi trabajo con todos aquí como muestra de agradecimiento por todo lo que estos hilos me han estado enseñando. Asumí el desafío de convertir Ikarus_4.73a una versión mq5. La razón es que creo que es más fácil de optimizar y probar con datos más confiables usando la base de datos MT5. Sin embargo, probablemente no actualizaré más ya que estoy trabajando en otros proyectos, y esta fue simplemente una oportunidad de aprendizaje con la que quería desafiarme. Usé la versión que encontré a través del enlace github de fraggli. No probé en la demostración o en vivo, pero lo ejecuté varias veces en el probador y parece funcionar según lo previsto. Espero que esto ayude a alguien por ahí. Nuevamente, todo el crédito va para todos los que ayudaron a desarrollar este EA hasta este punto, simplemente lo convertí. Buena suerte a todos! {archivo}[/cita]


I can't get the TS to follow the orders with good profits... will it be a mistake or is it something special in the blocking of profits

Use the profit_lock setting from 0-100%
I normally use 0.35 for trend trading

// Account_Risk (1=1%). Stop Loss on account base, when reached all orders will be closed an EA will stop trading. {quote} My bad. The Trailing Stop has already built-in. ( Profit_Lock ). // Profit_Lock. Percentage of profit secured by trailing stop. Other functions uncleared to me , hedging. // Hedging Order to balance is used (When or how algorithm) // Account_Risk. Stop Loss on account base, when reached all orders will be closed an EA will stop trading. (So far not yet happen) //profit_chasing = 0;...


I saw (just happened) the open order, was in profit trends.
Lot 0.01, $10 bucks profits. But then turned into negative. Thus, icarus didn't consist of the regular profit trailing coding.

 

  1. Wish that, we can develop that as an option setting (For reference. Attached the Trailing stop EA mql4, created by Kenny). It has extra feature, such as "Decay rate reduces Trail_Percent per bar".

Maybe. coder could help us, to merge into icarus EA.

Hey guys, sry,for beeing silent for a while, I love to see how you are making this thread flying high, but unfortunately my time does not allow me atm to be around here as much as I would like.

As you see from my linked real account I was able to recover and currently trading on Equity ATH in the 23k area. Mainly I focused on trading swap friendly and started a cycle manually depending on currency strenght stuff, indicators and my opinion on market.

Will try to make an update for you on Youtube begin of September, but first I am preparing my first Live Event since 3 years. By the way, I also will be speaker on the "World of Trading" in Frsnkfurt beginn of October (topic is not related to Icarus, it's regular trading stuff), so if you are around let me know, maybe we can meet.

I often get request from you if I could code things into the EA. Sry, NO, I am still a trader without any coding skills.

Happy trading and green pips to all of us,

Cheeeeers!
Green pips 2 all of us!

You have very good control of drawdown.
Is this back testing by the Strategy Tester?
What are the inclusive dates of data and what currency pair did you test it on?

I started checking the latest version 4.79, so at the moment it's hard to say which pairs and what interval is the best. for sure ikarus needs a reset. otherwise it is not efficient

Hi, it seems to me you are using a small input in ProfitLock, you can see the blue dashed line in the chart showing indication of the current trailing stop. Cheers
