Hi,

Trend my friend, no worries I have been trading Forex for about 3 years and Futures for about 5...I prefer to trade live as using demo the fills are not always correct and you get a lot of lost connections...anyway have you had any trades today since about 1600hrs GMT as I haven't not sure if mine is working??

you can tell i just woke up lol
let me retype this
at first both ea's had the same mn, i changed the mn in 3.1 from 21 to 22
you may have dl it before i did that, check on the chart that both ea's dont have the same mn
better huh lol

Quoting trendchaser
both had the same magic number, u changed that n updated 3.1 to have a mn of 222 instead of 21
verify on the chart that each ea has a dif mn

since starting the ea,you should be on ur 3rd trade
not sure if you started it in time for the first trade
the second trade was a loss, and you should have a long open now

il look into adding s/r for a closing option
but the scaling out 3 positions would be very complicated for me
i am still just novice to the coding

Quoting et_phonehome_2
Have anyone found the best way to optimize PIPs? When the lagging indicators come to light even on a 15M or even a higher TF chart, many, many PIPs are already gone before one gets the signal. Could the EA be modified to also use S/R as take profit targets? I do not believe the EAs can open multiple positions, eg., 3 x .10 mini lot positions instead of 1 x .30 mini lot, such that it can scale the position as targets are met. I know its a little more complicated to code, but at least we can get some PIPs out of it.

Verified that 3.0 had a mn of 21 and 3.1 had 22

3rd trade, initiated by 3.1, lost $1000 but 4th trade (3.0) is plus $750 floating

just thought of something
by default the risk is set to 10
this is high, might be ok running 1
but running both youl surely get a margin call
turn down the risk on both

ok heres v3.2
added the pivot indicator
from what i see on the tester its buggy
your supposed to have lines 0-6 from the indicator
but it doesnt work right
however with the settings iv set as default
if you enable pivot for entering trades
it only trades long above pivot and short below pivot
this did not increase profits though

but using pivots for exit did increase the profit
the ea made it to a wopping 36 risk before crashing
looking at the charts it seems the pivot indicator is buggy with the ea
i was hoping to have settings to control which pivot line done what
but it just doesnt work right. itl take me some time and maybe help to solve the issue

but since its a increase in profit here it is with v3 settings as default

Hi All,

I haven't forgotten the manual side - I have had a phenomenal week as I am sure you all did. I don't think I will post every trade that I take here but I will do so from time to time. The manual trading interest just doesn't seem to be that high and you are all doing so well with the EA thing. I will just putter along making my little pips and update you when it works out for me.

I wish you all well and will be in touch,

Hey Trendchaser,

I am not leaving but to tell you the truth I have had so many good trades in a row that it would look all jammed up if I tried to post the explanations. I will post them again once the market gets back to normal - ie 1-2 trades a day. This has just been an abnormal few days and I am very thankful for it!

I just joined the thread as the GBP/JPY is what I am constantly looking forward to. There exist a number of EA's for this strategy. I have come across Skyline and Trend Chaser's EA's.
I was just wondering how similar are these EA. I am a big fan of manual trading though.

Your are right about knowing that I knew , but it is a good cause in itself! It is not right to be in Georgia (let's see how many people are going to protest!)

There seem to be massive problems all over FF since they "reconfigured" their servers! Maybe they did it with a hammer this time!

Gnat,
Yup there are strange goings on. I saved the file so I will try again tomorrow (or for the rest of the world today). Meanwhile I did not take this last trade as I was tired and I am already up 400 pips for the day so I am not stressed. Besides the fact that trend is down - AND the dragon just informed me that I need to go to bed or I will lose some significant doggy parts.

I am out - talk to you later
