Discoveries are sometimes the result of mistakes (penicillin comes to mind). Here's what happened to me this morning.
Since I've been so focussed on my Bacon Bots with TP 40 these last few days, I didn't pay much attention to their mirror bots (with no TP). So this morning I decide to have a look and gobecause I see a balance of +800 pips. What happened?? And I notice that I had (by mistake) turned the bots OFF sometime during the day before yesterday. After reviewing the charts, I realize what happened.
They all took the long signal on oct 9, then got shut off by me BY MISTAKE so they ignored the short signal on oct 10, and continued their ascension until now (after a new long signal early today).
So of course this gets me to thinking this SHOULD happen and my eyes, for some reason, get stuck on the MOM. I say to myself, what if the MOM had NOT crossed down, then the short signal wouldn't have been triggered, right. So I start doing some visual tests with the momentum. I don't know why I haven't tested this one yet, absolutely no idea. Just took if for granted it needed to be set to 10.
Well of course, I got into my MT4 testing mode in a giffy. And I'll tell you, this looks good. Get ready for more pips. I've only completed tests on 2 pairs so far and here are the results: eurjpy gets an extra +85 pips and audjpy gets +105. That's EXTRA PIPS PER MONTH, ladies and gents (I don't remember the exact values (I'm at work right now) but it's around 20 for both, 22 for audjpy I think) Anyway, I'll finish the tests this evening and post the results subito presto for your enjoyment heheheh (and retirement I hope). nb. those are the shorter TFs, since these are my eating bots but I'll also test the longer time frames, of course
:.
I just realized that I might have missed something in all your testing... were you indeed closing on all indies? Or on the QQE crossing only? I will look it up in a cesond, but now that I think about it, the ability to end the trade based on different combinations of indicators was in the Glenn series bots only so far.
This is so amazing, as this would mean that there is early/in time exit potential en masse for Supernova.ex4 still, making it even more profitable! This is closing in on insanity! Guess you have this machinery running on 3 accounts covering all 7 or as time will tell even more pairs (With the other exit, trades in the major may well become profitable, too!), this may build the smallest account into something to ("NOT") show your friends and enemies and married-in families!
A little hook there in your example: If we have a QQE crossing, the trade would have been hacked in two peaces anyway, as long as your bot would not have been turned off! But this is something that I worked my brain hot with earlier today, while driving... We could close trades on a shorter timeframe - we may also close the long positions on a longer timeframe and the shorts on a shorter TF! That would go with the nature of the JPY crosses we mainly trade. Then for majors we may stay with the same TF for entry and exit and both strategies will be optimized with the MOM-setting.
And with the little Learjet I will fly a regular tour from Hamburg to London and over to Montreal - or the other way round.
The weekend is near... another testing frenzy is about to break out!
hihihi

... No testing??
My godness!!I pee my pants! LOOOOLLLL !!
Brilliant call there, Master Cryten!
But we may still want to find out, whether there is some extra goody in this, then we may build it back in! hehehe...

Brandt is not a duckling !!!!! Never intended...though there are real cute :-)...It's supposed to be a BIRD...do you remember I want to learn to FLY ?
...and also -not important- since both can fly :-) ... is not he...is she :-) ...what man will talk "bird" language
P.S. I found out the "classic" supernova works with precision as is supposed to :-) entry/exit...and also does not "jump" in all the time like some other EA's....
(P.S...in my back testing for some weird reasons only takes only one side of the trades...)
THANK YOU "bird feeder"
That was not intended to be any offense here! Please pick a bird of your personal liking and... gender!
Greetz!

I do know that :-) no offence taking my lord :-) just joking...felt like a needle in my ribs everytime I see a HE attached to my name
had to straighten that out :-)So Kryten...I did wonder before how the exit is coded in "your" EA...I assumed is exit on QQE only but I was not sure...anyhow I thought /and assumed that if the entered with FILLTERS OFF...then the exit will be the same ( fillters off)...

Hallo Pipsy!
Everybody seems to be coming back from work! Finnfx and Awesome just touched base in the forum and now my Ladyship is also here and live and in colour! And none of the monsters got you ere you reached the door!
I am so happy!!
Do you know where: "Denton, a nice place to live in!" comes from?
Greetings!

Now, if you have a pair whose setting for filters=no, then this pair will be traded dot-to-dot, that is it will enter AND exit trades solely based on dots. Blue dot=enter long, pink dot=exit and reenter short etc.
If this pair also has settings for SLs (stop losses) or TSs (trailing stops) or TPs (take profits) and one of these is hit before the next dot appears, then the exit will be triggered and the bot will wait for the next signal in the other direction to enter once again. I think that maybe if you shut down your platform and turn it on again, then the bots might have "forgotten" that the trade was closed and re-enter if everything is still aligned, even though the signal is old (although I need to check this further).
If, on the other hand, a pair has filters=true, it will NOT trade dot-to-dot. The dot (QQE crossing) will need to be confirmed by both indicators, which are DMI (directional movement index) and MOM (momentum). The same goes for exiting - the bots need the signal + both confirmations to exit and then re-enter in the other direction or one of the SL, TS, or TP getting hit before this happens, if applicable, to close the trade. Also note that the optimal settings for DMI vary depending on the pairs and so do the ones for MOM which I will post hopefully tonight. This is also true of SL values, TS values and TP values, and of the optimal TFs (time frames) for the different pairs.
One last thing. If you want only DMI and not MOM to be part of your setting (or the other way around) no need for it to be coded. Simply set a value for the one you don't wish to have applied that it will never reach. This is equal to having that indicator=0 since it will never reach that figure. For instance set DMI to 100 (which it never reaches since it peaks at 60).
Hope this helps,

, Ms. Booker, 1st price in literature contest (and of course these are what my poor memory comes up with and they're not even close to being as funny as what I remember remembering heh). I also enjoy sites with famous people quotations (ie G. Bush and others) and Hillary Clinton saying "We are the president"Anyway off subject. Nah I don't live in Denton (where dentition rots in the ground) eheheh (halloween coming up ?)

Well I don't think cry will exclude these. Maybe not have them do sexier things than they do right now, but why on earth would he want to exclude them?
And what "news"........ this late?? Need to check the economic KALENDAR right away.
EDIT: OK, the 2 NZD reports, right?? This is important??
But unfortunately the bastards at IBFX raised the spread from 5 to 19-23 pips and the news came out with a deviation from forecast of only 0.2%. Not enough to move and in fact the NZDUSD pair started off into the wrong direction. But no harm on my side. I called it off on time and came straight back!!
This was a potential wacko trade so I was prepared to shy out. But on Sunday there will be CPI from NZD and it is a quarterly. That may be good, but no research for the particular release so far from my side. But more CPI's are coming in the next 2 weeks and these are nice little reports with no bad surprises. Maybe we can pick one of these.
Greetings and about to say good night!

LOL I love these pics where you see things like that. I remember a site where you'd see all sorts of incongruities like this either in newspapers or in cities (restaurant banners with missing letters), very very funny. I also remember a cool site where you'd see people's names and professions something like Mr. Rose, preofessional gardner
Anyway off subject. Nah I don't live in Denton (where dentition rots in the ground) eheheh (halloween coming up ?)
There are some movies, were I can recite nearly every word and sound in it. Well... I'm a strange fart in some ways. But now I have to go to bed. I need to bring one car to the garage tomorrow morning and I then have to give the Retail Sales a try.
Good Night and keep the Boogeymen out!!
