First post: Templates for the manual use on VT & MT4

#804 : The Supernova EA as created for cryten

#938 : The SuperNovav1-1 EA created for uconn10016

The main difference is the implementation of the well known managetpEA-family into the concept of Supernova by version 1-1 through uconn10016.

Both are still in testing and are in foetal stage, as I learned today.

But both perform nicely on the above posted pairs and are just waiting for an exit strategy to peel out of the egg.

Best Wishes!

Hi natt - coffee please!

I was using the 1.1 EA on the 5 minTF and the results were very ranging! - i have changed all charts to 1hour TF and there has not been one losing trade in the past 2 days! - we are drawing ever closer to grail me thinks!!

just as an update to previous post. Skyline graciously added another feature on the EA and worked out a few bugs.

For those of you who value sleep as much as I do - he added a setting which trades between the hours of. as Cryten originally posted he trades between 2AM to 7AM (EST). you can now control when the EA will take trades during higher volatility times.

I briefly tested with EUR/JPY and noticed that the pair responded very nicely with a positive curve(upwards that is) a little choppy but you cant argue with the end result

Here is the EA and Set file to do your own testing.

IF you dont already know the EA uses Cryten's original formula for entering trades. and the exit strategy is based on the ManageTP EA

appreciate any feedback (test results) you may have

PS - apologies in advance if I dont answer any questions promptly as I am at work and cannot devote my full attention to this(perhaps someday!!)

It's nice to see what your guys are getting up to with regards to the little robots hehe

Just to let everyone know I will try to update the first post tonight with both versions of the ea and I will try to keep it updated on a regular basis, naughty me.

Very nice, Uconn!

That is a feature we will learn to like. After a few sleepless weeks it is really ruining you ...
So I will go on testing with this version. Next few days it will go live ( I mean real money ) and I hope it will do nicely there also - why shouldn't it!?!
Great effort - good timing. Thanks a lot once more!

On my way to a 2nd league soccer match.... btw... anyone else for coffee?

I had the same problem.
Look in the Terminal section and click on "Experts". Mine had an error that said it could not open "QQE Alert MTF v2###, and it was because I did not have that indicator in MetaTrader.
I had deleted it as I had newer versions.
It appears to me that the EA NEEDS the older version to work. So I re downloaded it and put it back in my custom indicator list. All works fine now I think.

Another thing: Saw your post in the journal (happy that I finally tripped over it) and saw your MT4 platform there and the very competitive spreads. Which broker is that?
That's MIG investments, a swiss firm. Oanda has even tighter spreads, but as far as I know, they're not "linked" to MetaTrader, so they can't be considered for this robotic strategy.

Testing your explanation here (thanks, hope this works) --> #1036

I'm definitely struggling with exits (TP + SL) as well. But ya know, now that the entries are taken care of, now we want the little bots to hold our hands and tell us if/when to exit (at the tops and bottoms of course, of course).

I was toying this morning (yup didn't show up at work) with the idea of setting some % gain/loss for the TPs. Then nah maybe simply setting a 20 pip TP and SL across the board (except maybe GBPJPY). Or simply trailing all the bots (chasing them lol) after 20 is hit, with SL I-don't-Know YET. Then nahhhhh............. See this isn't perfectly pure crystally clear right now in my head.

For now, I'll try not to mess with the "automatic" bots (like I did this morning by mistake), just letting them run their course (and get lost in the woods if that's their destiny lol), and I'll try to manage my own little bots as best I can. Took some "manual" profit earlier +30 pips gbpusd, +30 pips eurjpy (I was in my "maybe 30 pips?" phase) and +19 pips gbpjpy after realizing I had entered by mistake a full STANDARD LOT (never trade before having had some coffee, best advice on earth)

The "autobots" are currently at a combined +80 pips and my "humanbots" are at -34 (straying in the woods a bit --> like me from work, prolly God punishing me heheh)

First post: Templates for the manual use on VT & MT4

#804 : The Supernova EA as created for cryten

#938 : The SuperNovav1-1 EA created for uconn10016
If I could show you my subdirectories for both my MT4 platforms and my VT subdirectories, OMG!, it's a total mess in there, I must have all the versions of QQE, Supernova add-ons and what not, I had a hard time sifting through all that to send myself the CORRECT set up for work. And my Heiken Ashi candles still look sickly (they're all skinny) and I don't know why.

For now, I'll just stick to whatever I've got in there that the EA considers it recognizes (I had the "can't load QQC" error message as well yesterday) and wait for a cleaner, nicely packaged and identified (+ zipped) version of the basic set-up (indicators, templates, EA + readme instructions LOL) and oh! SOUNDS for heaven sakes I get this sweeking little sound like the rubber toys for pets make every single time I complete a backtest. And then I get frightening (cause volume is high) announcements that I HAVE INCOMING EMAILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL and every time I load the platform, there's this melodic SWISHHHHHH from a sixties sitcom type of sound. Anyway, sound is now off, and I just need the visual (no more need to hear the "LONG SIGNAL/SHORT SIGNAL" zombie male voice, in case I'm in the kitchen or something)

Off to see what 15:00 EST brings us..................................

cant seem to get it to take the trades correctly.
it enters the first trade, but when the next 'dot' and setup comes, it does not exit the prior trade and enter another in the opposite direction.

any suggestions?

Not sure you're using MetaTrader (from you screenshot, and if so, what's that cool guizmo with the BIG NUMER?). If you haven't done do yet, right click in your graph, then EXPERT ADVISORS, then PROPERTIES and INPUTS. There, check if FILTERS ON = True. If so, this means (even more so) that you should have been out even earlier. If not, then if should take you out as you'd be in a dot-to-dot setup.

The bots are great for entries, I find. But for exits, they're not fully trained yet, I'd say. I'm in a GBPJPY trade right now that's going down the drain, and one indicator is showing I should be taken out (MOM) but I'm still there.

What's that pair, I'll check on my side to see what signals I got for it.
