Hey Gnat! I found this in the manual whilst looking for something else:

Languages Support

The Client Terminal interface is multilingual. It can be represented in any available language. This feature makes the program not only easy-to-use, but also allows to reduce the amount of errors that occur during trading because of lack of understanding of foreign terms and notions. The list of all available languages can be found in the "View — Languages" menu. One can switch one's terminal to a language by selecting of this language in the list. The language can be changed actually only after restart of the terminal.

Hiho and good morning... sort of early royal bird on a Sunday!!

I will try that. Even if I preselect English when I install a new platform, it will show up in German on the first to the last instance.

My testing today brought no further improvements, but showed the same results an tendencies as yours, so we may book that under "reassurance" or something.

Working on the soft landing. I will show results as soon as I got to grips with a possible way to build it in.

Smeden may have run into the same trouble I had in the beginning - with some settings that are good for manual trading the EA burns money fast. Entry is late.

Good morning so far!

Btw I noticed Gnat has used DMI 10 for the backtest. I usually don't want to interrupt to how things develop here. But if we all agree to follow the same path for the time being I guess it will be better and faster to decide what is best.
Good observation there, Brok!

I actually had the test running on the same settings as Qpip and was trying to figure out, whether DMI (7) or (10) would make a difference. I am searching for a faster entry on long timeframes. I posted the test here to demonstrate that the standard setting and the DMI (10) example are close and no improvement can be seen.

Furthermore I am testing the same strategies on a different EA #1273 as Qpip to see, which one works better. Right now I am happy that she is ahead by a few pips most of the time, as we have the sourcecode for that EA.

Thanks for taking notice here!
Good sunday!

yeah he said he will start coding now and on 15th October I'll purchase it from him. I'm gonna send him a lenghthy email on monday with all the boobies we been experiencing with current EA and hopefully by 15th he would work these bugs out before their even coded
Hi Cryten!

I've one suggestion for the EA. It would be nice to have possibility to set all indicators separately on/off, ie. DMI true/false, DMI smoothing factor, MOM true/false, MOM period. So if I wanna use just momemtum of all the indicators I just set MOM "true" and the period I want to use in it and rest of the indicators "false". I think QQE has to be always on. Just a thought.

I guess that would also solve my "slow entry problem". Very good idea! I am completely with that.
This will make a finetuning possible between the long timeframes and the small ones. Yes yes!!

Greetz!

haha I had same thought about 30 min ago - spooky - Good idea finn, it may not have developed further if you hadn't mentioned it too
Yeah i def think this should be added. In longer timeframes you may just want momentum to confirm etc.

Hello Gnat!

Fewer beers more whisky... that's the way to go. Had to compensate my shortage on beer also by opening a "Glenn Mhore". Brilliant! I hope you have a nice brother in law. I have one very nice specimen and a complete "fall-out-guy". I guess I will have to get out now for a few hours, as it finally stopped raining. Have to buzz (as I am a fly) around on 2 wheels for a while!

Have a good evening all of you!

LOL... he must have been a von Bismarck then! Few castles here - much fewer than in England. But if there is one, it is extremely large! A soccer star near Hamburg... retired or still "kicking"?
Rafael Van der Vaart may have enough money right now. Or Felix Magath of the 1980 team ... Uwe Seeler would deserve it, but he stayed down to earth.

Apart from the rain it is really nice around here! Would'nt wanna move ... only maybe back to my island!

Gnat ....
who can stay now - started raining again!

Yes, I've to say that I'm lucky because both of my brothers in law are really great guys. The one I took some whisky with yesterday is now reading Babypips I tried to explain him yesterday this very nice system Cryten shared and the "secrets" which we've discovered. I also told him that the spirit is really nice

Well back to business (testing). See you later!

OK, so what does this table tell us? Well the first thing which stands out is the fact that all the pairs exhibit some sort of “limit reaching” after which the SL figure makes no difference (in gray).

In 6/8 pairs, a SL seems useless. It either equals not using a SL (cadjpy, audjpy, eurjpy, usdjpy, chf/gpy) or renders less pips than not using one (gbpusd 113 vs 165).

For the 2 pairs which do benefit, we salvage 19 pips for gbpjpy, and 25 pips for nzdjpy.

It’s a bit surprising that SLs don’t seem to have a bigger impact than that on results, I must say I’m suprised.

Looking forward to Gnat’s strategy for lessening drawdowns as SLs haven’t really proven effective.

I’m off testing trailing stops now (!!!!!!)

I almost forgot. Here is the current “optimized parameters” table including the SL info.

My plan is to complete the trailing stop tests, the TP tests, then combining SL/TS/TP to see which combo has the best results. Assuming I don’t go BONKERS, I should at least have the trailing tests done by tonight.

So Qpip, just to understand, you are using this EA correct?
http://www.forexfactory.com/showpost...5&postcount=70

Then using these settings in the link below? and for example with GBP/JPY you will have 2 charts open 4h tf and then insert the EA onto each and put Only Long with magic number 100 on one and put Only Short with magic number 101 on the other?
