hey cryten, I've been following this thread since it was only about 3 pages and really love it!! I haven't been able to produce the results of say, qpip and awesome; but I'm getting the hang of it..(I tend to be trigger happy) so many thanks to you!! On to my question...

On oct. 3 I updated the new temp and indi's and had trouble with them...I wasn't getting any alerts and my dot's were replaced with arrows that were kinda hard to see and sometimes obscurred by other indi's. I came to prefer the dot's anyway, so ditched the update and went back to the original setup. I would like to use the new stuff, so I can get some better EA results and stay up with you guys on every thing else. If I set up the new temp and indi's, can I somehow use dot's? (seems silly, I know- but hey it's like the dot's are my friends or something!) Also, will I get the sound alerts? I'm really looking forward to the EA because the results I was getting were not good at all, but that could have been due to my settings on glenv 1 1 1 3.

Oh, and one more thing..when I update the new files, do I need to pick through the MT4 files and remove then one-by-one, or can i just import them and do "yes to all" and let 'er rip?

Thanks for everything you do here cyten, you and the rest of the peeps here are so cool...Andy

Matrix:Sky is going to drop the Damiani in the next version. Perhaps later we can bring it back in another form.
TMAC: If you right-click on the EA in the right upper corner, you will see a list of properties for the EA. Scroll down to the bottom to see the hour settings.
Many traders will only trade when the big boys come out to play, namely the huge corporations and banks. The prices move more predictably during those times, and robots work better, for that reason.
To get started, I have used a single setting for all pairs, knowing that we can refine it as we go. The most volatile pairs need lots of room to fluctuate, so don't set the stops too close. On the sedate pairs, they can be quite a bit tighter. The longer time frames require more room than do the short ones.

Howdy, I agree I prefer the dots hehe
Pretty easy to change, just a little edit in the code which has not been released so perhaps a pm to skyline to submit dot version of qqe_alert v2?

When you update new files it's cool to "let her rip" as long as their going in the right folders

For me I couldn't give up live trading but the EA for me will allow me to catch some 4 hour signals which i often miss due to my schedule but hey if someone comes up with some nice settings for 30 min then I'm in!

Thanks cry and glen, I think I'll have a go at it then. I agree with ya cry, I'm more comfortable manually trading, but would love to catch some trades while I'm sleeping and dreaming of pips! I live in California so it's hard to stay up all night for london....

Hey glen, hows the weather in Montana? Reminds me I need to call my brother in Bigfork...CYA...thx!

I was so sleepy this morning that I could not find energy to post regarding the Kumo. Nofx, the link that Gnat posted is exactly where I learned about this indicator. Kharvell's tutorial is superior and very understandable. I hope it helps you. I only use the Kumo support and resistants for exiting a trade mostly when the trade is against the daily pivot line. Example today the GBP/JPY opened below the daily pivot and that tells me it is a sell day (As for today it was not a sell day) All buy signals I would have exited at the Kumo resistant and vice versa for sell signals. This is how I use it you may find a better way to use it, if so please let me know. I do believe in becoming a better trader. Thanks Gnat, Nofx, Cryten, TSK, Qpip, Gleen, everyone that I may have missed you all keep me learning every time I read this thread.

Hallo Nofx!

Apart from Kharvell's thread about the Kumo here in FF there is this WIKI about it, that is easier to read: http://www.kumotrader.com/ichimoku_w...itle=Main_Page

Afterwards you may want to look into Kharvell's thread and I guess the miracle becomes less "cloudy"!

I honestly doubt that one should deviate from the initial setting of Hosoda San at 9, 26, 52. Especially as in Forex we have no need to adapt to a normal working week and we are not looking at a stockmarket with real markethours.

But Kharvell propells the other setting and in the end you may have another close to real picture of the future markets due to that also!

Have fun with it! It is a great concept and I guess it is very good to re-check exits.

Ciao

Yes today I escaped with +43 pips and I got so sleepy should have went to the store and got a Mountain Dew, lol. Last week was wonderful, just awesome. I think everyone is on their way to +75 to +100 pips per day with this system, I truly believe it's possible and that keeps me excited. How are you doing? I believe Nofx got a nice handful of pips as well this morning I will love to hear about it. Goodnight and happy trading to you my friend.

It's 91 degrees here in Central Florida and the humidity sucks. I would love to be in 70 degree weather. Looks like a thunder storm is heading our way.

I've just started trialling the Glenn version of the Supernova EA today, v1[1].3[a]. I've used it on an IBFX mini on the 1 Hr timeframe, with entries for QQE and CCI and exits using CCI (set to 100 threshold), 1.0 lots.

I've opened up pretty much as many currencies as I could and attached all the indicators and EA. I believe I've set the EA with sl 40, TP 100 and ts 30, however I have been chopping and changing the TP, sl and ts a little bit.

Anyway I set this up about 9 am GMT and went into town. When I came back the EA had closed out trades for $218 (including several that had hit sl). The EA has since opened several more trades which seemed to flounder then most of which took off so that I was seeing over $300 of equity!

Since often you see trades go right up but which can slump back as the exit strategy often can't keep up.

Anyway I remebered a close all trades at x profit EA I had and attached that set to $400. Net result is I opened a $1000 IBFX demo this morning and the account is currently at $1529.70!!

I'm adjusting the close at Profit EA to $200 overnight and will watch how things go, but this is just awesome, close all rades at a certain equity, job done.

I'm obviously very excited by this and also have the supernova EA on a separate MT4 for the currencies on the 30 min time frame with a TP of 40 pips see how that goes! I'll let that run without the close all traes EA for a while to see how it does.

I just wanted to share this in case it can help someone else to get the EA profitable for them. I'll post my statement and the close all trades EA for peeps to use. I originally found the EA on TSD in the EAs section from the Artificial intelligence thread.

Many thanks again for this most excellent system, I promise to try and suss out trading it manually, it's just that I'm addicted to fiddling with EAs!

I doff my hat to your greater intellects, your humble pupil, Cal, lol !

Awesome: It is always a pleasure to read your posts. Whitman said, "What greater wisdom have you known than kindness." You define the point.
I am well. The egglettes are thriving, too.
Love you. Glenn

BTW: my settings were SL 50 and TS 35; TP zero.
A little tight for the wild ones, ok for the others. The CCI is so nice, that I prefer that it do the exits.
PipCruiser: turn Damiani to False (off).

Cool Currymonster! Thanks for the EA, I hadn't thought of using this approach to closing out trades but will surely have a closer look

Great post and very helpful to all!

Yeah... there it is again, my favourite unknown drink: Mountain Dew! I am really happy that you could trade from the beach - apart from the fact that there is a SMALL portion of envy there also! Still I am happy and it is such a beautiful picture!
Since Sunday I am up 600+ pips, but again on such tiny lotsize, that I just made up my mind to set up the tested EA setups and good solid lots and I tried your way today off the 15M: +56 on GBPJPY and +43 EURJPY. Thank you for the little kick there!
Always happy to run into you !live! here.

Hi currymonster,

very exciting and nice results!

Could you post your Supernova EA settings on a .set file please

I have the EA running, but it takes no trades, would be nice to
put in the set file directly..

Thanks a million,

PC
