MTF Stochastics EA's

et al,

I'm going to be working on a few different EA's for te MTF Stochastics stuff.

So far, the only one I've got is SpudFrye's Method 1. You can find it here: http://www.forexfactory.com/showpost...postcount=1059
It needs some fine tuning. Like, what kind of filtering could be implimented to limit the losses. etc.

If your a coder, please feel free to make modifications and repost them here. If your a trader and not a coder, please test; take a look at the bad trades and help us (myself and any other coders) filter out the bad trades.

TODO: Spuds new 'Thread theory' EA. Find it heare: http://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?t=37111
Update (7/26/07): Spuds working on a way to determine 'long and short zones' (http://www.forexfactory.com/showpost...6&postcount=51). I'll see if I can help him figure that out. In the meantime, I'm putting this EA on hold until that is figured out.

Please make sure you understand the method before you test the EA. Not understanding it and just running the EA will not provide any good feedback or data for fine tuning. I would suggest that after you read about a Spud theory, your trade it manually first; WITH A DEMO ACCOUNT. Once you understand it, then run an EA. Then we can work on fine tuning.

Some common questions I'm getting asked:

"Why are you only working on Spuds stuff?" It's the best out there.

"Why are you writing all of the EA's? Why don't you just trade his theory's manually?". Well, for right now, I am jobless living off of severence pay. I'm going back to work at the end of August. When I have a J-O-B again, I want something that can trade for me. I won't have the time to be in front of a computer all the time. Also, I don't like staying up 24 hours a day either.

"I asked you X time ago for a customized EA that does {blank}. When is it going to be done?" When I can. I am conentrating on the other EA's I listed above. As they could be used by more than one person.

"If we help you 'fine tune' these EA's, will you sell them? In other words, will you screw us over?". Nope. What gets done here, gets re-posted here, peroid. They are Spud's theorys. He shared them w/ us, we can share the code here too.

"How does Spud feel about you doing all of these EA's based on his stratagies?" I don't know. Haven't heard from him yet.

If I've missed any questions, feel free to post them here. I'll add them back into this post.

Thanks! Can't wait to get these EA's up and running.

It's here.

errata:
{
got rid of the signal lines and went 1 back on the bars for confirmation of trend on each stoch on each TF.
}

Here it is.

Method II (Escalator to Pips) uses 4 timeframes and lets you choose your exit time frame (although the actual theory says when any of the 4 hit, you can exit, I'm giving the option to choose).

et al,

In another life (former job) I worked at a local TV station here. I got to know pretty much everyone in front of and behind the cameras at all 4 local stations. Including helicopter pilots.

I'm going to take a few days off to grieve http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/19999896/. Then I'll get started back on the next EA's in the 'manual' (of which I have attached).

Thanks.

the universe is listening nondisclosure00, god bless......

Is anyone testing these? I found some logic errors and corrected. If I'm the only one working on these, then I don't see the point any more.

Here they are.

NonD

Just found your thread.
I'll give one or both of these a try on Monday.

Just need a little time to catch up...

judylim,

I can't PM you. You're setup to block PM's.

nondisclosure00,

just to say well done.

i will try EA.

with Spud strategy, i made 300pips (demo) in 2days (not news trading),

but i can't be glued to the screen all the time

i'm thinking if an EA can do that

which spud strategy were you using? can you post chart pics where it worked for you?

Thanks.

thanks

I always want to make sure e.g. M30 align with H1 or H4 then i scalp then switch to M1.

use william's percentage range - period:14 - then i buy in direction of the trend. i look for around 10pips.

b4 H1 go to oversold/overbought, i made if not twice the number of pips a person waiting until H1 go oversold/overbought.

but i can't be watching the screen all the time, can there be an EA for this?

but i'm not sure this will work during 'news' time.

can anyone test it, the screen shot is just only 2days i applied the method.

Actually, I was hoping you could post chart pics of where you opened your trade. This way I could visually see what the settings were when you opened it.

hey.. you don't need an EA.. do it again only for a week more... increase risk to 90% and use 400x leverage each time.. and you can retire...

Hi, just stumble on your thread and excited on the spud.
I tried both spuds EA on various time frames on strategy tester but no trades were made. Usually when that happens, I wont try the EA on demo realtime.
Nevertheless, I am always on the lookout on a profitable EA and i do hope Spuds are the ones.

So do help me on this.. how to make it work on strategy tester first.

Thanks and dont give up in trying to find that pot of gold. Hope you find it and best of luck in your day job. Dont give up hope in programming, friend. You have the skill and the knowledge to do it unlike some of us who dont.
Will keep track on this thread.

Hi
I also can't get any trades during the backtesting using the default values.

I'm not sure what's going on w/ these. I had them not take any trades either.

If there are any other coders in here, please take a look and tell us.

I'll help you decipher the code so you can understand it.

thx.

Hi nondisclosure00

I am not good with coding an ea from scratch .. still need a little more practice .. but I wanna help with these Ea's .. what do you need done?

Well, If you can read 'rules', I need to figure out why the Spud EA's don't open any trades.

All the work is done in the stochOpen and stochClose procedures.

I don't think I've quite got the rules in those procedures to match those in Spud's methods.

Take a hack at it. Change it etc. It's there for everyone to play with.

Thanks for putting Spud's ideas into one concise document, nondisclosure00. I am sorry for your connection to the helicopter crash in Arizona.

Have you thought about posting your EA's on the MT Indicators and Experts group? There are some pretty talented programmers on that list as well as many eager testers willing to open another demo account for testing new ideas.
