Hello Awesome!

Actually I was just trying to find something to confirm Supernova signals and keep me out bad ones. My original use of CCI was only take trades outside +100 and -100 areas. I was on 30M and using +100 level closing longtrades (on longtrade -100 maybe be too late for closing) and -100 for shorts. On longs I did re-entry if crossed back over +100. This was just manual backtesting. Take a look at the pic.

There's my original post about CCI. It was for 30M just forgot to tell it there.

On 15M that -100 for closing longs maybe be better. It keeps you longer in trade, +100 level gives you too many exits and re-entries. I have quite nice idea and I'll post it in next post. I just love this thread and people here!

How do you manage to get the lines at +100 and -100 on the CCI? Is it your own indicator, or do you just put them there manually? I have tried to add horizontal lines, but itīs very difficult to put them at the exact spot.
I found this in your post at #979

Guys, it's only me ? I'm new at working with EA's so I know that I need a little time to get use to "it's brain" but at the same time I want to be sure "he's brain" is working properly :

Please check the late exit on first chart then the late entry on the second image...any explanation...I wonder if does work properly on your stations?
My entry and Exit were set to be executed on QQE cross only!

The system looks good mannually ...now, if the robot will be in time it will really be great !!!!!!!!!!!!!


By the way, again, thank you kindly to all for the on going support here on the thread! Awsome!
Hi Hbrandt,
I'll try to answer to your questions as much as I can since my english isn't not my native language.
Looking at your chart EA I can see that it works fine infact it exited at the open of new candle since the conditions are checked on previous candle close. So in you first screenshot , when arrow appers then EA will close on next candle open not on the candle where arrow is placed. On other hand if you think about it previous candle's close is the same than next candle's open.
The same thing is to be applied to second screenshot

Hi Mash,

I'm going to help you. After you have a horizontal line on your CCI, do a double click on the horizontal line and a box will appear and I believe it's the first option called Horizontal properties. Right click on that and you can enter the amount you want.

Hope this helps.

Skyline...my English is second as well :-) ...thank you a lot for taking the time to respond!


now I'm not sure what you meant here: "on other hand if you think about it previous candle's close is the same than next candle's open"....you did not finish the sentence...or was a question?..yes I think they should happend altmost at the same price...one closes and another one opens at about the same price?

My understanding is this:
when we get a fresh cross, we have to wait for that candle to close just to be sure that the signal/cross does not disappear /"repaints"...but once that candle closes and the cross is still there then we are ready to order EXACT at the beginning of NEXT candle....why wait for this new candle to close? And then only execute the exit/entry order ?

If you look at my example shots you will see in the 1st pic that the cross happened,
on the candle that closed at ?around 164.35...
the new candle started at ...around /under the same price 164.35 ...
so why not exit now at the beginning of this new candle?...if we wait to the end of this new candle to close at 164.56 (as the EA)= that's a extra 20 pips lost??...

Also on the second picture you can see ( look at the order price detail as well) that the new order was not placed at the beginning of the new candle (164.35 or so ) but the order was placed at 164.74 ....that’s almost 40 pips after the candle with the new cross closed at 164.35...

That's a LOT of pips lost unnecessary at exits and and at entry points. Manually I will be able to get them into my pocket right?...Now I'm not a programmer and don't have a clue about coding ...I wonder, is not possible for the EA to close/or and place the order at the beginning of the new candle (after the candle with the cross just closed)?

Thank you kindly for your time :-) I am so curious to hear your response :-)


P.S. one order just happened under my eyes..and I think it was correct taken...just a few pips late as the new candle opened the order was made and instantly I sow that the new candle had a body already in 2 sec...ha...I will go on the 5min TF and check this out more :-)..it's my first time playing with EA's...so like I said, I'm just learning it's brain function :-)

Just wanted to say thx to cryten and skyline for this trading system. I have a question regarding the two different trading programs (VT & MT4). I haven't gotten through the entire thread yet so this might have already been asked. I was just looking at the 30m chart in mt4 and vt trader and the qqe signals are not matching eachother. mt4 gave a sell signal a few bars earlier than vt trader. Do I have something incorrectly set up?

Hi Daddy,

Only thing i can really think of (we hope both qqe indicators are the same) is slightly different price feed..

This is for skyline or any other MT4 programmer. Everytime I load the new super nova EA (the glenn one) my platform crashes. Any idea why this happens? The old EA works fine though.

ICraft:

I also experienced several crashes, with reboots. Finally, I eliminated the Metaquotes.net feed and brought NorthFinance.com back to life with a fresh download. Then I posted the recalcitrant EX4 on this FF site, and then downloaded it from this site to my Expert file. It was not working well, so I added in the MTF QQE EX4 to the existing QQE.mq4, and bingo, it started working properly, but that was about five hours after I received it. Whew!
I have no clue what lurks in these waters, but I am eager to get on with testing after NFP, of course. Glenn

So Glenn are you saying I need to doenload and fund a northfinance acct as well as the other actions you took, or do I just need to MTF QQE EX4 to the existing QQE.mq4?

How do you add that by the way?

Hi Cryten: First week of results below. I was out of town all week so just let it trade away. I work for snappy sounding tool company and am on the road alot. Haven't had a chance to really look at numbers. I set up according to Qpip chart from last week before the tp numbers added.

ICraft:

I was letting you know that I had a similar problem, and resorted to desperate measures to get the EA loaded onto a demo account.
It was frustrating, but I have no clue about the cause. Typically, when I cannot find a cause, I look for a mirror to give me the answer.
I had two metatrader programs on the same computer, so it was most likely causing a conflict of some sort.

And speaking of wrong:Q of Pips/ FinnFx are correct that CCI period 14 is the way to go. Seven is just too tight.

Hi Mash!

I've been really busy lately so I didn't get change to reply you sooner. I can see you got answered already. I also use those levels you can set in CCI-indicator.

Yes, I got the help I needed but thx anyway. The CCI-indicator seems to be very important in this matter.

Hallo Maestro Potter!

The results are not really impressive, as you may have noticed. But somehow the EURJPY has spoiled my real trading also a bit this week. In fact I ended a questionable trade manually/by a SL on this pair.
Apparently the less fitting pairs like EURUSD and partly GBPUSD made most of the money for you. But in fact during the same time I had some nice trades on GBPJPY and CHFJPY. My overall performance, spread over 4 platforms by now, it better (not my fault - not your fault), but since last week the tableau in the journal has changed substantially and it would be good to use the optimal timeframes on this, especially if you leave the computer alone for trading.
The search for the optimum is still on and exits will hopefully be researched this weekend (on backtest).

Happy Friday!

yes that's correct

...why wait for this new candle to close? And then only execute the exit/entry order ?

the EA is supposed to enter a trade on next open candle after previous one has a qqe arrow on a candle completely closed.

P.S. one order just happened under my eyes..and I think it was correct taken...just a few pips late as the new candle opened the order was made and instantly I sow that the new candle had a body already in 2 sec...ha...I will go on the 5min TF and check this out more :-)..it's my first time playing with EA's...so like I said, I'm just learning it's brain function :-)

yes, it's really important when you are using an EA that you check Expert and Journal tab continuosly to see if there was disconnection or other issue that are reported there.
