Pipin’ away the moments that make up a dull day
Kicking around on a piece of EA in your home directory (doesn’t rhyme at all tssssk.....)

“Pip Floyd”

I’ll stop here. David Gilmour’s lyrics are way too (insert the highest qualifier possible which doesn’t exist) semantically and phonetically/musically.

Anyway, (see my new sig for real lyrics and if you’ve never listented to Dark Side of the Moon, well then, what can I say except ..............).

I’m going to bed just after posting this very pretty picture (times are Europe Time not UTC like I wrote before, my mistake, those darn time zones)

Insert pretty picture (lookat da balance) è

Hallo, Your Highness!

Maybe I am too blind to see, but someone might have told me that this journal existed. Actually by your long absence I gathered that you might actually have fallen down the stairs that you mentioned on the forum. Happy you did not and happy to have finally found this place.
How could I have missed it....?

Thanks for the eleborate reports and the invention of words and phrases! Unbeatable!

Ciao

Got up this morning, went straight to the puter, got confused about what was going on, closed out some positions, entered positions, thinking I was in my « manual EA » account, but I was in the « bot » account grrrrrrr (they look identical, I just fixed that).

Anyway, the bot did close out some positions/entered during the night, some with profit others not, for a balance of +56 pips. (had a bit of fooling around with eurjpy long signal, short signal, long signal, short... what's a bot to do lol)

Here’s the situation at lunch time:

Heheh no not yet. That's an exit plan from work (might get 2 months off sick leave if I get the courage to actually trip myself in some stairs at work and break a leg or something) But that's just like trading, what if I miss my entry point and kill myself kinda hesitation heh

Do you encounter the same problem that the EAs are taking trades "randomly" after the signal is really getting old? We were rambling about that a bit in the forum earlier.
Switching of timeframes and manual closing of positions are not tolerated by our little helpers.

Whopping results by the way!!

Oh, and for my new "bread & butter" account (40 pips/day then shut everything down for the day) which I started yesterday, well I "accidently" made 143 pips yesterday DOH! But since I'm making changes to reflect account size and lot sizes etc., I won't post any regular results until my setup is complete. I'm currently in no trades for that account.

RE: manual closing. Yup, same here. Today I'm working with automatic trailing 15 and SL 20, so I'll see if this helps a bit (programmed into the EA not manually entered with each trade)

As for switching time frames, just don't. Simply open another chart with the pair you're interested in and don't allow EA on that one. This way youca assess the current situation on a different tf.

LOL... that is nearly exactly what I wrote down for Zee (zhkzhk) on the forum a few hours ago. You'll see it there.
See you there!

Hey flyman!

Thanks for updating me while I was sleeping and thx for the coffee

I don't know why I overlooked NZDJPY in my tests done last week-end. Thanks for mentioning it in the supernova thread.

I just backtested it and the results are below. Note that I've tested it from jan 1 to aug 31 straight through, with filters and then only dots. For the dot-to-dot, as you know, the EA currently only takes signals in one direction. So I got it a second time around to take the other direction and added the 2.

As we can see, for NZDJPY, the 4H dot-to-dot would be the best, putting this pair in 2nd place behind GBPJPY. But until the EA is able to take both directions, I'm adding this pair on the 1H with filters in my 3 robot setups.

Hello Qpip!

It's really great job you're doing here, thank you very very much! I'll take a look at 4H too. It seems to be great! Keep up with the good work

I loved the job you have done here. Respect Have something on mind as a question thou.... Have you come up with these timeframes by using the ea or backtesting manually? Also I have to mention big differences between the custom indicators such as DMI between MT4 and VTT. You probably had backtested thru MT, right?

I'm not sure I understand what's going on with your results, but all my ea backtests (with MT4) were done with the parameter "Every tick" - the other 2 options are the same as you, but I didn't try those as they don't seem to be compatible with this specific EA:

Every tick: the most precise method based on all available least timeframes to generate each tick.

Control points: A very crude method based on the nearest less timeframe, the results may not be considered.

Open prices only: Fastest method to analyse the bar just completed, only for EAs that explicitly consider bar opening.
