LOL... Well Herby made an Alert coming along with the QQEA. The EA is not yet ready - neither from Herby nor from Skyline. But the testability is there. EA settings and QQEA settings will work hand in hand!

I knew you would love this!

Gnat - cooking or rather demolishing the kitchen!!
Yip, I have been testing the new EA and think I will hand it over to Qpippy, (my) tonight or latest tomorrow morning.

Gnat, what's cooking...Can we come over for dinner yet..?

There is surely enough! Just come over ... bring some drinks ... no beer again!

Ok - happy you got the EA in the smithy already!

Well... false rabbit in my case is rather a longish, nearly square hamburger. You just cut slices from it and it is easier to get some sauce out of bigger "blocks". Then some taggiatelle pasta and something green - Dinner's ready!

But I still have nothing solid to drink. Guess I will have to do some shopping tomorrow morning!

I think you guys are really making big efforts to squeeze more pips from this system.

I recognized some problems on the backtest dot to dot with Glenn EA and trailing stops (my post on the other thread). Do you think the original Supernova EA to be more reliable in this case?

Hallo Ghido!

As there is already another Glenn EA in the making, the answer is a little hard. The 1.3 Glenn EA had certainly a few flaws. So far the Supernova EA in the original version was very stable! Please test it for yourself. I guess it has a small edge until now.
V2 also needs to be tested more thoroughly and may be reacting fastest until now. We will surely keep you posted and please try to optimize the QQEA for your own shorter TFs!

Greetings!

So, Qpipsy...

what do you think about the QQEA "gift". Finnfx really has fine ideas there, right? And Herb"" the Wabbit is working on an integrated solution. Testingfrenzy reloaded...

I have to clean the ruined kitchen now!!

Here "Welsh Rabbit" = melted cheeze sauce on toast. Never heard of false rabbit hehehhe.

In an effort to not get completely confused in ea versions, I was still using the original until last week when Herbman improved it. So am using v2. If he adds the variable QQE in that one, then I'll upgrade, but if he adds it to a glenn or other version, I'll stay with what I have, the reason being that I want to be able to compare various results with different settings from the same system and not different versions because then I wouldn't know if it's the ea version OR the setups that are making a difference.

I remember a movie where the little girl had a pet rabbit and the mean lady (Glenn Close I believe?) put the wabbit in a big pot of boiling water and made wabbit stew hmmmmm

Not to get EA stew...

Herb"" implemets the QQEA into a Supernova vX successor.
Sky is working on the QQEA to merge with Glenn 1.3 beating the flaws out it at the same time.

And I would not let Glenn Close near my real or false rabbits at all!! Poor wabbits!

Editing Natalie goes back to the kitchen for a few more minutes...

Now, for a summary of the past week.

I had 3 set-ups, all using the latest settings I posted. All 3 accounts were funded with 1000$ (monopoly money) and lots were 0.1. (nb 1000$ is way too small, I’ll adjust this for next week)

1) I completely left the Autobots alone, except I tuned them off at 13:00 EST this aftenoon and gradually closed all trades manually starting at 13:00.

2) For the SemiAutoBots, I manually exited some during the week, it auto exited some, I sometimes put a pair to sleep for a while, etc.

3) The Welsh Rabbit bots were left untouched, except I manually exited all trades gradually like I did with the Autobots. These guys all have TPs of 40 except GBPJPY which has TP set to 100 (However next week I'm upping the 40 to 50).

The actual balances don’t really matter as I started the week with the original ea and 3 accounts (with the wrong deposits), then closed and reopened 3 new accounts tuesday with Herb’s new modifs and correct deposits, so first trade was tues evening at 19:00 EST (but the first set of accounts were quite positive for Mon + Tues).

Anyway, what I’m interested in is which set-up works bests (although I would have liked positive balances, which they don’t have but I’ll explain later and also because the accounts changing).

The winners are the DoubleCheeseBurgerBots, followed by the Autobots and then there’s (me) last, which I like very much btw.

Two things come out of my analysis:

The worst trades of the week happened with NZDJPY. You might remember I mentioned not having good sampling quality + only had data starting in May for my backtests. This pair is responsible for about –200 pips for each of the bot sets. So next week, NZDJPY is out of the race until I can get better testing for it.

The other thing is I shouldn’t finish the week negative as the pipage went in a lot of positive floating p/l many times only to deflate back to negative numbers. So, as many of you mentioned, this is a war and the enemy is bad exits.

Good evening!

Like Gnat said QQEA could be great to sharpen entries on longer timeframes. That was the first thing I wanted to do with it but then I accidently clicked 5M and noticed that it can give nice results on shorter timeframes too. So my friends, there's more testing to do, but is that just how we like it

Time to take another shot of "power juice from the Highlands"

I think I'm going to play around with trailers and maybe implement them for the Eating bots so that the TP would become a minimum profit, then the trailing would start from there.

Herb, I wonder if it would be possible to kinda merge the managetp into your latest version of the ea so I could have a go at some EXIT TESTING (or write your own personal code, whichever you like best).

I thought gnmat had given me the version he's using but I can't find it in my files (maybe I just dreamed he gave it to me).

I'll do a bit of searching and get back to you.
