Oh I see, Thanks sky. If that's the case, why didn't it buy 10 candles earlier? I must be missing something....
It seems T3 and heiken ashi filter out that trade
Infact when EntryOnT3 is true , EA will check if HA's open is above T3 (for long) or if HA's open is below T3

Hey Gnat thanks for checking in...I'm good, just some growing pains is all. my EA was good to me last night, and today I'm tossed around some- no worries! But I do think I will call it a night.

Skyline, first of all "hats off to you" ! you did such an awesome job with that EA...just great! all the whistles are there ! ( I personally I will not mind an "solar wind" there too, hehehe ...we are never happy? :-) ) I did worked with Laguare manually before all of you got on it, I never mention it b/c I thought it will not be able to be coded for exit…I’m impressed, you did it! I'm curious now to see it's behavior at exits...

I have a question ...will the EA work only on one TF per currency? (I have a feeling you may say “yes” but it will be cool if it could:-))

…Last night (ET) I put an EA only on the GBP/JPY but on different TF-opened a new chart for each TF ( 15, 30, 1H and 4H )...I also checked and each EA had a different magic number....were all allowed to trade live etc...I wonder what it triggered only on the 1H ( the screen I left was on 4H by the way)...
see the pics.. (all were checked for live trading)

Again, BIG THANKS…(and v.soon I will contribute to your pay pal as well!...good idea to put it right there on the screen…we can not forget it…and we shouldn’t J !!!!)

God Bless!
Hi hbrandt ! ,
you're welcome
If I understand correctly your question, EA will handle different magic number for different currency and timeframe. This imply that if you put EA on different timeframe with the same currency, EA will generate different magicnumber and will handle all trades correctly.
Answer to your question is NO : EA could handle orders from the same currency on different timeframe (GJ 5M, GJ 15M, GJ 30M, and so on..)

Hope this help

Wow... massive pips already as I read on... But, Doggy, what did you do to your trading buddies? Eaten them?? Poor Awesome!!

Alas, I think she was frightened, (the poor dear) and my efforts to give my dog face a makeover seem to be of no consequence. Perhaps I may find a more alluring persona so as to tempt her royal Awsomeness back to my trading lair.

I really must go now,

I think 1H and 4H TF are too long I've got trades where all conditions are met so EA is ready to trade on next candle but by next candle all conditions are reverse, so makes a wrong trade
I am using an older version of the EA but does v1.4 confirm that all conditions are STILL met in the same direction of last candle before making the trade?
What TimeFrames do you all recommend using?
Also, can I set the EA to not open anymore trades until the first one if closed?
Thank you

Oh, WOW, that's cool! ...
I need to continue to dig in then to see what went wrong.. ...I don't understand yet why only one order was placed instead of 3... no order was placed on TF 15 and 4H when everything looks ready !?...the 30 min I see why not...(the lagguare / juice did not happened by the 3rd candle after the cross as I set the parameters...)

Thanks to all for such an awesome team work !
...and of course a BIG THANKS to Kryten for the idea and to skyline for the hard work on the EA :-)
This is preety cool

Skyline...I wonder why do we have 2 lagguares in the template from you?

what is the purpose of each and
which is the EA considering when trading ?
do we have to have both on ?

P.S. this may give me some insides in why the EA did not take all my 3 order opporunities last night :-)

Thanks

Yes the whole EA is designed to work on candle close , so whenever all signals agree in the same direction then an order will be triggered at the open of next candle.

What TimeFrames do you all recommend using?

Honestly I'm not trading this EA in live account so I don't know which one is best timeframe. Maybe someone here can help you better (Glenn,Gnat,QPips)


Also, can I set the EA to not open anymore trades until the first one if closed?

This is how EA is working right now. You should have only one order at a time running.

Thank you

Yes we have two Laguerre indicators that are used as explained in Imransait scalping method (http://www.forexfactory.com/attachme...8&d=1193587240)

Hi folks

I picked up on this thread around a week ago and read some and downloaded the EA. I'm really impressed by the collaboration and surprised by the limited number of replies from a small subset. But that's nice.

Anyway I set up the EA on a 50k mini account and left the settings as I found them, aside from setting FixedLots at 4.0. I set the EA up on several 30 min charts. Lots traded are 1.50, so I'm assuming this is 3% risk of the 50k and that it ignored the FixedLot value? Initially there was a $250 drawdown, but this has now turned around to +$750. If my assumption is correct, and account size grows, is it possible to open up trades based on 3%/whatever of the actual balance?

I'm interested in backtesting and forward testing. I've read about some of the settings but wondering about the validity given some doubts about MT4 backtest and the amount of historic data. Were those values tweaked based on the data available?

I've done a lot of backtesting using systems built using a different chart software. It doesn't offer as much functionality for coding entry/exits, but the backtest results are accurate. What I found was, for example, that systems that looked good for the last 6 months, the results for the previous 2 years were pretty crappy.

My point is that I'd be interested to collaborate and help if people plan or want to do some forward testing using different timeframes and values and some further analysis of backtesting if the data and testing is valid. That way we can get a better handle on what may be more effective and also perhaps find any bugs or odd things or good observations that might help to improve things further.

Thoughts?

Good bucks on the five min window, KrytoniteKryten Three pairs.
I had it loaded with :
True entry for everything but Damiani and Vol.
Laguerre entry at level 0.45 Gamma 0.58. (Yeah ZInvestor)
Exit on everything I could find.
Laguerre exit :standard Gamma 0.85.
Parabolic Stop candle Trail by One dot. (Yeah Jin !)
10% MM true.
CCI level 100. Still seems to like this exit for major moves.
Me like Juice. (Yeah, Jin !)

I had some problems with trades in the early night, so I reloaded everything.

I just love it when things are working well. I am very optimistic that this thing will make us all very rich. Adding the CCI for entry filtered out some awful oscillations during the dead zone hours.
Remember to send Skyline money, if it is working well for you.

Hallo Glenn!

Nofx seems to have a variety of beauties in his cabinet of half-wolves! Still the red-eyed looked even more impressive in its weirdness!!
I have the EA on the long journey again and here the newer indies naturally play a diminished role. Still the PSAR is a goody there of course and it is getting profitable. As the settings become incomparable I may need more time to get "hard-tested" settings out on the XXXJPY pairs.

Maybe you could save some of the shorter TF settings from your EA and post them here! We would have a good basis for further developement if we do not all need to find Columbusses egg on our own. Just give it a catching name like GlennEA14GBPJPY5M.set or something recognizable!

And good morning to you by the way!
Ciao

Yo, Gnat. I scrambled the charts with new templates, so Columbus must wait another day. My early impression is that the strong moves like lots of filters in play, since they will blow right through any obstacles in their way, when they really mean it. I am tinkering with Laguerre. The entries I understand, but the exit points are confusing. I like the Parabolic one dot trail.
Just that (along with the CCI exit at 100) seems to stop most backward slides.
I am new to the five min. window, so one day does not an expert make.
I will defer to the five min master , Jin, for significant data and settings, but I like to post what works and what does not, anyway. I agree with Matrix that sometimes the longer time frames can have frustrating slides. I am experimenting with the five min. mostly to see if it can control these.
Good day, my literate friend. Glenn
Jin: When I fool with Laguerre exit, I find that gamma of 0.30 seems best for the five min. window. Is that reasonable? I am assuming that the exit should be when the line penetrates the 0.85 level from above or the 0.15 level from below.

LOL... thanks! It is truly Julius Ceasar week - this week! Just got another candidate for that on the journal. Hihihi!
No problem - we just wait for somebody of the smaller TF fraction to come up with a good setting! Jin is truly making a good job here.

It is already closing in on dinner time here!
