that's demo, right?
BTW, is anybody running Fozzy EA on a live acc.?
Yes, it's a demo right now. I'm thinking about to go live with this EA provided getting further successful test results. I have not decided on the broker though.

Hi A1

Thanks a lot for the feedback.

I am using Fozzy method with vegas additions on live account with MIGfx as my MT4 broker, I have other non-MT4 brokers as well.

I think the problem with Crown is that your orders have to be 10 pips away from the current price (which does not matter in case of using daily charts) but other members were also complaining that they make a lot of re-quotes, if you are moving from demo to live you should take all these factors into consideration.

Hi Howard,

Thank you for the information about Crown.

Well, I have live accounts with IBFX and NF as well. NF also requires 10 pips distance from market price concerning stop or limit orders. IBFX has been tending to increase the spread not only around news time but occasionally anytime. So, I'm afraid, finding a good brokerage is as difficult as running a successful trading.
(Sorry about being offtopic here )

Anyway, the EA has not placed any orders yet this week. Have you also been running a test with it?

I do not trade AUDCAD, EURCAD and NZDUSD with this EA, so I don't know whether or not it should have placed such orders.

As for AUDUSD, the RSI line just touched the 8SMA then they have been running together. So, I think it was not a real cross - at least according to my setup.

A1,

Which EA version are you running? If you are running version 2.1, then trades placed cannot be visually confirmed. The calculation does not match up correctly. The reason I still support is because, frankly, it performs better in forward and backward testing than the correct fozzy method. But, looking at charts will not be helpful in determining whether or not a signal should have been fired off.

Also, the timeframe and datafeed make a big difference in the signals. This week is going to be a weird week because of the gaps from last week throwing off the MA and RSI calculations. But, I have an IBFX and an FXDD demo account and each of them throws different fozzy signals.

stockwet

Hi Stockwet,

Yes, I have still been running 2.1 version.
I agree with your statements concerning different brokers and datafeeds. This is why I have issues selecting the most suitable broker for trading Fozzy EA.

Fozzy EA 2.1 version had a silent week now. There were 6 trades only resulting in 100 pips.

The total return is 1663.5 pips, the ratio of profitable trades is still 80%.

The highest return was given by GBPCHF with 336 pips while the absolute loser is EURJPY with -41 pips and AUDUSD is also staying in the red zone.

G'day all,

I'm currently running v2.2 on demo. But, seeing the results posted it might be an idea to run v2.1 as well. Anyway, what I want to ask is would it be possible to include 3 levels of Take Profit (TP1, TP2 & exit) within the EA?

I know this request in bordering on customisation, but I've always traded with 3 TP's in the past and am curious to try it with this system. And, I'm sure it would be a usable feature for many others too

Cheers,
Art...

Hi Glenn,

This EA does not trade frequently, I had an order on EURUSD on 6 December though, anyway this was the only one on this pair during this week. I will post here my statement a little later and you can check it up when and how did it.

Which pairs do you trade with this EA? I mean, does it work on other pairs well, the EURUSD is the only exception?

I changed broker for this week and started a new test with North Finance.
The week was pretty silent again. There were 4 trades only but every ones were splitted. All of the trades were profitable, the gain is 168 pips .

Hi,

Anyone can help!
If I trade several pair on the same account concurrently, is it necessary to modify the EA and assign different magic number to these pairs?

Wilson, yes assign a different magic number to each chart. You dont need to modify the EA, simply change the last digit (or as many you wish) of the magic number in settings when attaching the EA to the chart and you are done.

Sorry, but I don't see where to change the magic number ... when I drag & drop the EA onto a chart there is NO magic number input on the Inputs screen. The only place to change it is in the EA file itself but that would change it globally. Where are you changing it ?? (Using v2.1).

After you right click the EA and select "Attach to chart", a "properties" window will be pop-up. Click "Input" and scroll down, you will see the "magic" that you can modify the magic number.

  • Dec 11, 2006 9:50am Dec 11, 2006 9:50am
You can easily modify whichever EA you're using so that you can input your own magic number.

Right click on the EA in MetaTrader and select "Modify". In the code window, scroll down until you see "int magic ...." Prepend the "int" with "extern" so that it reads "extern int magic ...." This will cause a "magic" property to show up in the input window. Once you make the change, press "compile". You may want to save the EA with a different name to distinguish your newly customized EA from the original and then compile. It's up to you.
