Hello to all,

I just discover this thread an hour ago, and I already like what I can see. I will study the 190+ pages this week end and began to demo test on MT4.

If ever somebody has the kindness to direct me to the latest developments or updates of the rules (indics & EA) I will greatly appreciate, it will save me some time to get started, but anyway I will read everything in order to understand the whole picture.

Thanks a lot.

Hello NOFX,

Thanks for the info. I guess I always worried about the price differentiation between the two brokers. But if you see no problems as of yet that is good news. Have you noticed in price jumps on your MT4 platform that has caused your indicators to make a signal when over on EFX the prices/info really didnt change? Thank you again for your answers.

BTW..Are you the NOFX that visits forex4noobs?

Take care,

Adam Hefner
Hi Adam,

As of yet I have not experienced any big spikes on MT4 that were not reflected on EFX but at the same time the price is sometimes different. It does not seem to pose a problem however as the MT4 charts show the general direction of the market - I have had very good success with this combination and I do not see anything to worry about in that respect. I am very comfortable taking my signals from MT4 and trading with a different broker.

LOL! yes I am the same doggy from forex4noobs. I am one of a kind

Have a great weekend,

NOFX

Thanks.... It always amazes me how much of a difference between losing and winning is placed upon S/R and pivots. If one was to take a trade, would you recommend that the candle close completely below the Support line?

Hi ET!

That is a hard question to answer. I do not always wait for a candle to close below an S/R level or pivot - I usually look at market momentum at the time of the cross. If momentum is strong I may jump in before a close. If price seems to be stalling or dancing about a pivot or S/R level I may wait. I don't think there is really a definitive answer for this question - I kind of go by feel.

Have a good weekend! - Looks like there were a couple nice trades that developed after I went to sleep. Did any of you take these?

I realized that in the last few trades there were no BUY postitions. Are you trading the SHORTs because you want to go with the major trand and do not like the retracements (never knowing where they may end)?

I personally caught myself only trading the retracements rather than the real moves. Somehow I still have a better feeling to go long on carries and the retracements seem more predictable in their moving potential.

Greetz! Small-eggy is "talking" to me here - if I don't make sense it is caused by distraction... : Gnattchen
Hi Gnatster,

Sorry I missed this question last night. I was quite busy chatting with people on Skype during the London session. I do pay attention to the overall trend but am also quite comfortable trading the retracements. I think the reason for this is my small initial target. After I have my 20 pips I consider everything else to be a bonus. I am aiming for 50 pips a day so this keeps me focused on getting the 20 first. I normally have 3-4 signals a day on the 15 min chart so this helps me stay patient - at least one signal usually gives me more than my 20.

Have a great weekend!

Matrix: I am still trying to find a great combination. As soon as sky finds the insects to kill, my plan is to use CCI and Laguerre.
Entry on CCI 100 and Exit on Laguerre, probably Gamma 0.14.
This exit would nearly always get me out at the last candle of a move, which should be ideal. There is something hanging up the V 1.5.
V 1.4 is functioning OK, but not the exits.
TrendChaser may have the better bot, until Sky returns from the beach.
I think that a functional Laguerre will enable me to trade Doggy-Style, perhaps on the five min or fifteen min. windows.

Vlad: Laguerre is an indicator that is not a part of the Supernova system.
Z-Investor thought it might be good for the robot I had asked Skyline to make for us, so he graciously included it, with some others. The bot needs some bugs ironed out, but Sky has been ironed out by his girlfriend, methinks, Gnat.
Yes, DoggyMan. That is soooooo funny. The images, the images!

Here is a discussion of Laguerre, which we pirated from Imransait, who scalps the Guppy using it.

Ok, thanks man, but Lag 0.13 wow Anyway I've been racking my brains with indicator settings on manual backtesting for the past month and am getting a headache and coming up blank
Mind you the optimal settings chart posted a while back and doing manual closing still seems profitable $250 to $700 in a month, not bad
I can post my statement if you want.

hello every1
iv been very busy all week
iv still kept up on the thread though
this week i had some ideas and im rebuilding the ea from scratch
the fact is a ea just cant see what the human can
a simple buy if above 0 isnt enough
im going to attemp to build the ea so that we have more options
it will require much more coding so im starting with qqea
il add 1 indicator at a time

ok what iv done with qqea is we have normal entry
thats the cross of the lines
we have single entry, still a cross of the lines
now we have angle, we take the current bar and compair it to a previouse bar so we know if were pointing up or down
im also making available for you to set the bars
and also timeframe to look on
and also you now choose the entry mode and exit modes seperate
example we use single entry for entering, we use angle for exit

im not saying this is profitable and its not optimized for anything

i wanted to post it to show you what im working on

i plan to do this to all indicators in this ea

i noticed nofx has a 20-25 line on the dmi
i will add that as well

also momentum will have angle and custom levels also

my goal is to have enough settings that we can make this thing trade exactly as we want

any1 has any ideas nows a good time

ok ppl
heres a pre release
all indicators are set up for opening trades
but qqea is the only indicator set up for closing trades
but leave the close options to false in the other indicators cause i did code what is there for them(settings are now gone in the next post)
if any of them is true the ea wont close trades
its a lot of coding for so many exits

plenty of new options in this version
there is no comments on the screen yet
this time when i add them il have it so you can turn them off
the magic number auto feature is for diferent pairs
not diferent charts of the same pair
the ea has a diferent mn for every pair (on ibfx)
if you dont use ibfx mini, just set it to false and input your own mn

this ea is very much accurate at opening trades
on the tester anyway

there is levels on dmi now
one for buy and 1 for sell

momentum has levels to, there 0 at default

i did not find good settings when optimizing so it isnt optimized
but studying the chart from the tester the ea is trading correct
it seems the market fluctuates to much on small tf to find a good all time setting, on the chart below i matched the settings nofx posted on his chart

i believe this will be a great tool used in combination with manually trading this system

im debating if i should put the exit code in
on the previouse ea i found no good results instead
i will look into break even and taking partial profits at diferent levels
though this may be a little over my head lol
wel see

(updated version next post)

ok beta2 uses managetp
beta3 uses managetp34, so its newer version

both are buggy in the tester
the problem is when it adds the tp_increment
it does not reset on a new trade

say your using increments of 20
first trade closes partial at 20, then 40, then last lots closed at 60

now the new trade dont take partial profit until 80

iv been banging my head on my desk all day
im taking a break

Hello Finny!

Hope you had a good drive through the snow on friday! Trenchaser now has a blue horn on his head by banging it on the table.
Idea: Internal magic numbers for multiple uses of the managetp34 engine!

Hopefully you are relaxed and had some sunlight already (liquid or not )!

Greetings from freezing central Europe!
