What TF do you recommend then for this system?

also, if the new Kijun-Sen indicator is included, can Glenn modify the EA Please. The more indicators to check for false and proper signals/trades the better.
Hello Matrix

When you use the combination of both systems, "i think" you can use the TF you want, but I have only visual chequed from 15M to 1H, and 2 or 3 pairs. I like the way it looks. But we have to test it live on a demo account, of course.. hehehe.

For the EA, i'm using 1H, but Qpips have been doing lots of backtesting that shows the best results for each pair, based on parameter on the EA, and TF used. My recommendation, is to use those parameters and TF.

I was only checking how EA's works, because i have never used one, and i like the idea of "easy money", or "easy pips".

Hope it helps

I want to trade this system while I am at work with Oanda's trading platform, since Oanda is the only platform that seems to work behind this damn firewall we have here.. Oanda, however, does not have the T3 indicator. What exactly is the T3 and is there a similiar indicator within the Oanda mix of indicators that I could use as a substitute while I am at work?

Thanks in advance.

By the way I love this system manual and the EA.

Ok, hope to have a good week First time trying this system

Just one thing, so CCi is used for exits rather than entry, correct?
That's what the default is for the EA.
I think I have the important indicators on my chart. BTW, what is displayed on the chart when a buy or sell is placed? a Dot or Arrow? Just curious so I can read what the indicators are doing at that moment in time.

Thanks

Hallo Matrix!

The newest QQE is givinf you an arrow. The older ones were coming along with dots. Right now "arrow" is the state of the art gear!

Best Wishes and a good weekend!

I don't suppose somebody can post what EA and indicators they are using?

I have d/l'ed the zip at the first post and it looks right when I use the template (with the pinkish and blueish dots) it correctly places when you would make a trade.

But when I use the EA and backtest it for a week (or more), it uses blue and red arrows going left and right, and puts TONS of them on there and is not very accurate. And the dots are gone.

I swear I'm not an idiot....
This feels like it's my first post...

You are funny though!!

Hallo Iluse!

Please use a new chart window - just delete the old one.
Start unpacking the indicators into your /experts/indicators directory. Put the template into the /.../templates folder. The EA goes into the /experts folder. I guess you knew and did all that - no problem.
Restart your platform - open a new chart window for every pair you want to forward test the EA on - put on the template. Then start the EA and assign a magicnumber like 100, 101, 102 ... to each chart you are using. That will prevent one EA trying to manage all the trades and to just let one trade happen at the same time.
The template should really only show ARROWS in the newest version. Please search this thread for posts of skyline to make sure you have the right combination. In faxt there are people on the thread that use the combination of dots and arrows to have full confirmation.

We will all be back tomorrow for further questions!
Greetings!

The 1st one is the template. Looks BEAUTIFUL!

The 2nd is the Supernova EA back tested. I have NO IDEA why they differ. (The Supernova EA by Skyline does the same thing, just more left/right arrows)

Isn't the Supernova supposed to back test the indicators in the template?

This is killing me...

Nonono... Iluse!

You are no idiot at all! The only thing is that the backtester does not display the template. Yet the EA is backtested using the insidcators in the background. They only need to be present on the platform and must be in the right folders!
The first picture clearly shows, that you are doing it right and the indicators are all there. Why there are no arrows but dots - I do not really know - but to be honest - this is the same combination I use.
So infact you are doing everything right. The little arrows in the backtester are showing you where a trade was taken and where it was closed. It is NOT showing you the ARROWS that were meant so replace the DOTS!

I hope this has saved your day a bit! Just keep the tester running this way and look into the Supernova Journal to find the latest optimal settings for this! (click here: #790 )

Thx for the welcome ! I kinda "owed" my first post to this thread hehe.
Right now I'm testing my approach to Cryton's strategy. Feeling the frustrating not understanding why a trade sometimes turns and goes against you ^^

But its the name of the game.

One question : how can I keep the line that for an example the momentum crosses fixed in the middel ?? (I'm using MT4)

hey Wizard,

It's great you are making the system your own, as been mentioned the engine here in the QQE, if you can make anything else work for you and make it your own thats even better. As for tips on avoiding false signals I think the best advice I can give is being able to identify support and resistance, market state, is price ranging etc, so your most important indi is price action itself.

First of all, i want to say many thanks to Cryten for posting this great system, and to Awesome for the Ichimoku indicator, i think both can be used to have a very powerfull system (it is a powerful system already), not only for exit points (Kumo S/R), but also for better entries.

For that reason, Cryten i want to show a random chart (not like the ones people show you to make them look good with their systems), for all of you to see if it can be used together.

Pair is NZD/USD, TF is 15 min, and we have 7 trades (based only on QQE crosses). Lets see what happens. Price bounces from areas where Tenkan-Sen and Kinjun-Sen are. Depending on price location, price bounces (if it does), from one or another. Besides we can use Tunnel levels to lock in profits (besides Kumo S/R).

Please check it out, and let me know what you think. I want to try it next week demo, cause visual testing can be very tricky, but all your opinion's, idea's are very important, especially Cryten's.

Once again, happy weekend

Skyline coded the T3 as optional for entry and exit, also allowing one to adjust the parameters for T3. Very nice.
I am hoping that CCI will allow earlier entries, but perhaps tweaking T3 will do the same thing. Please test and report findings.
Cryten/Gnat/Skyline are working on other exit ideas for this EA.
Please forward your thoughts on exit strategies to them (quickly).
