Hello Gnat!

Some minor tests. I was just testing QQE with smoothing 14. It seems to be quite good on 1H. I also have few more systems to test. One of them gave over 1300 pips from January when QQE dot2dot (SF1) was -175. This system lags a bit but it also stays out of bad ones pretty good. But I'm still fine tuning both of my systems so will see if they turn out to be any good. April is really bad month for all systems. Tomorrow I'll manually test QQE with SF14. How about you, any new ideas to beat the beast?

We are pursuing a lot of ideas to get the losses down, leading to more pips on the one hand, and to exit gracefully and timely, leading to even more pips on the ohter hand again!
Maybe the Journal will help you to get into the boots we are wearing right now.
What about your shorter timeframes? Do you have any special things to keep our eyes on? QQE Smoothing 14 is something we surely have not tried so far. 1H was too weak from my point of view - maybe this could help. Especially as the QQE is the key player in taming the beast!

First time seeing this system. Is SuperNova EA (Glenn) v1.2.ex4 the Autotrade EA for this system? Do I need any indicators? What currencies and TF does it work best with?

Thanks

Hallo Matrix!

Yes, that EA is one that is working with this system. Anotherone can be found in the ZIP file on the first post. There is a pemplate in there and also the first Supernova EA.
If you are not using MT4 there is no way to use the EA, but there is a manual trading template for the VTrader.

Enclosed you find the optimal settings and pairs.

Greetings!

Yes, I've to check that out. I think I should take a look at other timeframes too, few quick test on 4H gave good results, so maybe... Still on 1H I've managed to get over 3400 pips in JAN-APR which is over 850 pips per month. But there's too much difference in results with strategies so it's hard to decide which will work in the end. I'll tell you right away when I find the right setup (is there any?) for it. But like I said, tomorrow it's time to test QQE with SF14. I really like this QQE, it's just too good to be true!

I wanted to tell you all, that the EA works just perfect. The short Vs long position was solved. The problem was sitting in front of the computer... hehehe.

I wanted to see if the system entered on the trades at the open of the next candle, and i switched to 5M. The only pair that entered a position was NZD/USD, of course, short. The long signal on 1H TF, happened two candles ago, so when i switched, it didn't closed the open position, nor opened a long one.

Maybe i should switch to the optimal TF that you have discovered with Qpips simulations, but i'll see how it goes.

Happy trading to all

Hello Gnat

I'm testing USD/JPY, AUD/USD, NZD/USD, GBP/JPY, USD/CAD, EUR/USD, GBP/USD & EUR/JPY, all in 1Hr TF.

Those are the ones i have been testing, but since yesterday i started using entries w/QQE crossings only.

So far, with the filters, the results wasn't that good, because entries were too late.

I saw the backtest results, and i wanted forward test besides the most profitable pairs, the ones that i like most, like USD/JPY. Also i'm testing NZD, and AUD, because of the low margin they require.

Of course, with only 1 day, i can't tell you if those pairs are really good or bad with supernova.

Let's see what happens in the next days... i'll let you know.

By the way, how do you avoid all those crazy things robots do when you start them?.

Goos trading to you all!!!

WP
Hi, Wizzard!

Sure, the timeframe is rather short for testing. But those pairs first fell through the testing grid and are now magically working their way back to life!
I have tried to only put up the robots at the very beginning of a trend, but in the end it is all the same. Some of the pairs will just start initially, but as the Supernova EA from the template does not look back, it is safe to put it up any given moment.

Let us see, what you find out!

How are you doing?

Yes I was off today and I will be until Oct 22
I had an exciting day trading and Profited +43 pips early this morning and then I took a sell trade @239.22 at 2pm and set profit at the Kumo Support which hit and gave me +85 pip profit a total of +128 for today. If you check out the bottom chart the green arrow is where I entered and the red is where I closed the trade. Happy Trading and God Bless!

How do you do to reply a message?...

Finnfx, by SF you mean smoothing factor, right?, do you want to switch from 1 to 14?. It could act as a filter for the ranging periods.

I was just looking at EUR/USD, and this is a pip killer on 1H, or at least it has been for the last 14 hours. But of course, you already knew that since the backtesting showed negative results for that pair & all TF.

Happy trading

The way i use the Ichimuko indicator is I really use the KUMO resistant and support areas. For the trades that are against the opening of the pivot I use the Kumo to determine exiting the trade. Today for an example is the GBP/JPY opened over the daily pivot line and that told me it's a buy session, but if I took sell trades I would exit using the Kumo. I had two sell trades today that hit the KUMO support and I won. I looked back in the past and it happened quite alot which got my attention and decided to test it. The Kumo is made of predictive lines so if you added the indicator on your chart you will see that the KUMO lines are in the future and immediately after entering a trade I will set take profit according to the Kumo. A forex factory user of the name Kharvell has an excellent tutorial on this indicator. I haven't heard or seen this indicator until I read that thread: http://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?t=50287
I use the same settings as Kharvell, but I only need the KUMO so I set the color of the other lines as the color of my chart so I can't see them. I hope this helps, but please check out the thread I posted. It is not a system just education regarding this indicator. Have a wonderful day and I will be chatting with you later.

Wow! That is a good one there. +85 pips from a 15M trade using two different methods to both take the trade and then close it on the cloud. Maybe they work hand in hand on more occassions.
Well, we should keep it simple, but you make it a practical example. I really like it! And amazingly you seem to make very stable pips around 130 approx. per day by now. Please do the maths... start writing that letter: "Dear Boss, sorry Ex-Boss! ..."
I will hopp off now - it is after midnight again! See you tomorrow and enjoy the free days!

I have actually subscribed to Kharvell's thread from the very start and I saw you postig there. My introduction to the Ichimuko Cloud was getting a bit dusty and he is doing a brilliant job!

I am using 1H-4H timeframes as the tableau is stating. This is for forwardtesting with small lotsizes at this point.

And if you write Awesome... LOL... you are creating a mixup here.

Hey Awesome,

Dug out this VT indicator, I basically modified the Ichimoku by removing everything but the kumo. You just need to import it as an indicator
