BeachBum,

To view those two links there is absolutely no registering involved and there never was when I posted it. I unfortunately, do not have the time to upload zip files, so I will make this my last post on this Thread, because I do not want to cross any fine lines perceived by the Administrators. I will continue, however to monitor it and answer any questions people may have of me in the PMs only.

Also, I want to encourage everyone who is new to Fozzy to continually test this system because it truly does seem to be very promising.

Take Care To All and Happy Trading , PippinToTheTop!!!

P.S. If the two links are dead then they will be back up in a couple of hours once I am back home. I am having issues right now with a winsocket 10055 error, which is shutting off my internet after 6 hours, due to the publishing of more than 14 systems to the web in 1 minute intervals individually. I hope to get this resolved in the next few days.
My Apologies to All. Yes BeachBum was right. It does say you need to register. This was a complete mistake and is being corrected immediately!!
I have no idea why this happened to these two links. Please DO NOT register because there is NO need!!

Apparently, the problem was that I had transferred some systems from my dedicated server to my home computer this morning to continue my testing of some of the systems. In the process of moving my EA codes for publishing I forgot that I had some programs that were protected with a link code, which got copied to my MT4 platform at home. These link codes have now been removed from the FOZZY EAs. You should NOT see this again fingers crossed.

Take Care, PippinToTheTop!

A simple answer could be the server time offsets are probably different between the accounts. For example Alpari is +2? and FXDD is +3 and WHC is ??. The new daily candle started at different times. It could also be settings or data feed interruption right at the start of the new day..

The first link trades .20 lots per trade. If it starts to win the trade to a specific point then it will close .10 lots and let the other .10 lots run until it either hits BE or closes for a profit also.

All losses have reflected with a .20 lot size.

http://www.pippintothetop.com/fozzy%202.1/report.html

On this link there are no partial lots taken into account. It only trades a solid 1.0 lot size per trade.

Hi PippinToTheTop,

can you post your settings of ea's and how much was initial balance/capital ?

Pardon me ,

I'm a noob here, I have a request for Mq4 programmer here.
I'm wondering if you could program for Sniper indicator below (Attachment 1) to plot a signal on the main window everytime there's a triger from Sniper (a cross).

The signal should look like the Fozzy indicator arrow signal as attachment 2.
The reason for this request is that sometimes Sniper produced a potential trade signal whereby undetected by Fozzy, sometimes vice versa. So by doing this I hope to be alert of every potential trade signal by Sniper and Fozzy and at the same time be able to trace previous plot trigers for reference and study.

Again pardon my humble request, its not a complicated programming I think but if I do the programming it will become scrap (rojak), heh.

Thank you.

I hope you mean live forward trading on a demo. Never start out trading any EA on a live account.
Did the chart you have the EA attached to have a Fozzy cross using indicators set up for Daily Fozzy trading? If so was your cross with bands or without? Some chart pairs may take quite a while for a proper cross to form using B-Bands.
Which version of the EA are you using?
Do you see the little smiling face in the upper right hand corner of the chart indicating the EA is enabled and ready for live trading?

The EA trades off the server time on the chart not where you are at. Living in the GMT+8 time zone does not make a difference. With the EA's GMT feature checked the EA should only look for new trades at the start of a new daily chart pin.

Hi..NVwine..

F.Y.I. I'm using ver. 2.2 and yes there's a smiley face on it and here is my setting:

Use_BB_Filter = true;
Use_00_GMT = true;
Lots = 0.2;
Take_Partial_Profit_Lots = 0.1;
Take_Partial_Profit = 40;
TakeProfit = 130;
ATR_Stop = true;
Use_ATR_Pct = 0.7;
Init_Stop_Cushion = 0;
TrailingStop = true;
TrailingAct = 65;
TrailingStep = 25;
Start_BE = 40;
MA_Method=MODE_EMA;
RSIPeriod = 8;
RSIMAPeriod = 8;
BandsPeriod=20;
Alert_Me = true;
Trade_Live = true;
Test_Info = true;

I can't understand why did you say never start EA on alive account? And another one is "Did the chart you have the EA attached to have a Fozzy cross using indicators set up for Daily Fozzy trading? If so was your cross with bands or without? Some chart pairs may take quite a while for a proper cross to form using B-Bands." You mean the Fozzy indicator in the live Daily chart? Yes..there is..but nothing happens. And I'm using this type of indicator: AO Fozzy Signal ALL which I took it from the threads and the setting is:

RSI Period: 8
RSIMA Period: 8
Bands Period: 20
Bands Shift: 0
Bands Deviations: 2.0

Is there anything wrong with it?

By live account I meant one with real money in it not live forward testing. I may not have been clear. I asked you about indicators because the Fozzy EAs may not trade for several days in a row. It is useful for testing to have Fozzy indicators on your chart that are similar to the way you set the EA up. It is the quickest way to spot problems.

As far as chart indicators go you will need to check in the main Fozzy thread but my understanding is that the AO Fozzy signal ALL indicator does not use B-Bands so it will give a signal on all crosses. I could be wrong. You have Use_BB_Filter = true in your settings so you may not get a trade that the indicator shows. I'm not as well acquainted with ver.2.2 but to start with you might set the BB filter to false to match the indicator or use a different indicator. You need to be sure the EA has missed a trade it should have taken. If you want more trades set the BB filter to false in the EA. I'd also recommend reviewing your experts log and your journal log. Look for any errors especially once you know there should have been a signal on a given day.

Attached is the EA for the Daily Fozzy method. The method is described here: http://www.forexfactory.com/forexfor...ead.php?t=7984.

The EA was developed jointly by tradeigel and stockwet.

The EA has the following features:

 

  1. Automatically opens a new order if criteria is met for a given currency (only one order per currency pair is allowed open at a time.)
  2. Allows the trader to take ALL crosses, or, only those that also meet the Bollinger Bands median line criteria.
  3. Trader can specify the number of lots to trade.
  4. The Stop Loss is automatically set to the preceding bar's high or low value (depending on trade direction.)
  5. The SL can optionally be set based on BeachBum's ATR method.
  6. Traders can specify a stop loss "cushion" which would place the initial stop loss above or below the high or low based on the number of pips specified (account for double touches, spreads, whatever.)
  7. The SL is moved to breakeven when a specified number of pips is reached.
  8. A trailing stop feature can be enabled. Traders can specify when to activate the trailing stop and the amount to trail by.
  9. A maximum TP amount can also be specified.
  10. The EA sets the magic number to 7984 (same as the Fozzy thread id) so that the EA does not impact other trades on the same currency.
  11. The EA does not hardcode the daily time period, enabling Fozzy to be run or tested on other time periods.
  12. The EA can send alerts to email when a valid signal occurs.
  13. Live trading can be disabled in the EA itself.

Future possible features:

  1. Ability to take partial profit out at a specified target
  2. Others?

The latest Fozzy EA will always be posted on this first thread to ensure that it is easy to find. If you have any bugs, questions, suggestions, etc., use this forum. If you have questions about the method itself, refer to the main Fozzy thread in the Discussion forum (see link above.)


**** UPDATES ****
:: 9-29-2006: Changed okToCheck to support trading only on 00 GMT, if the Use_00_GMT variable is set to
true. Otherwise, trades open on new bar.
:: 9-30-2006: Added parameter to specify MA method. Uses EMA by default now.
:: 10-2-2006: Added ability to set SL according to ATR(10) method, as described by BeachBum
:: 10-3-2006: Added feature for taking partial profit out at a specified level. User specifies number of lots to take out.
Currently, this feature only supports a single partial profit takeout. It looks to see if the order lots
is equal to the Lots value. So, the EA can be "tricked" into taking additional partial profit by modifying the
Lots value to equal the current open order lots remaining and resetting the partial profit value.
:: 10-9-2006: Added alert feature when a cross occurs. Also added Trade_Live parameter to turn live trading on and off.
:: 10-17-2006: Bug Fix: TP amount getting set to 0 on B/E and Trailing Stop functions.
:: 10-23-2006: Bug Fix (v2.2): RSI MA values being incorrectly calculated in EA. Added feature to include test information as comments in chart window.
:: 10-24-2006: Incremented EA version. Fozzy 2.1 is old version with incorrect calculations but positive EA results. Fozzy 2.2 includes the calculation fix.

I've been looking at different ways to automate the trades, and have a question/suggestion.

Since we're already using the ATR for our stop, why not use it for our take profit stops too?

I'm thinking about using 50% of the ATR as the first take profit point, instead of always using 40 pips. Some pairs might only have 45 as a daily range, so unless we buy at the edge of the bar, we're not going to take profit, and will probably go on to get stopped out.

If we would have set it to 50% of 45, we would have taken 22-23pips.

Also, I wanted to say that I'm setting my initial take profit differently than the default. I found that this method is more profitable.

I'm doing 4 lots, and taking 3 lots off at the initial take profit, and letting the last one run. Backtesting looks promising, but I've only just started testing it on a live practice account.

I'd love to hear the communities thoughts.

Dan - very interesting first post, sooo much nicer than the usual 'what is fozzy?' type post!

I've been testing using the ATR for take profit levels too - at 0.7, 1.0 and 1.3 of ATR(20), but recently have noticed that a first TP level of greater than 50-55 is too high and the trade could reach ~45 pips only to reverse and become a loss.

Coolshades is using a 0.5 ATR as a first TP.

Your use of 4 lots and taking 3 off at the first TP is something I was thinking of earlier - how are you letting the last lot run? Any target or trailing method in particular?
