Very cool Herb!

Actually selected the song so that you had something of it too! I met them (in person) twice in Hamburg, while I had a bureau in the same house with a scene&music journal (printed). Thomas always asked me to attend meetings as his Deu-nglish was hard to understand.
Pip Queen & Ice Queen I thought would go together well, but somehow I have missed the effect a bit. Well, nevermind, at least you recognized some nice dutch music!
I remember Sharon babbling like a waterfall, while all the guys were sitting there in stoic silence. Then on their next visit, she actually remembered our names!?! And then the guys were talking a little bit too... hehehe.

Have a nice weekend! I will sit later with Nofx and get him set up for the EA. Not that he will desert the manual side, but he would like to see both worlds!

Wow Finny,

so the "night out" was a big success! Did you win something, or has the pupil become a master ?? Just relax and watch some Top Gear! I have a birthdayparty roaring around me as Marina turned 9 today!

Hi2Everybody

I have read both main and "system journal" topics about supernova system, very impressed, have tryed it to trade manually and with EA, sometimes it was a successful trades, sometimes not(im a newbie trader).

Last stable Glenn's ea 1.4 looks a bit buggy, or maybe im missunderstanding something, sometimes it isnt placing trades when all conditions are met(and im not using juice, laguerre or volumes for enter or exit).

Supernova 1'st version is nice, but its to simple, need more options for exit. I tryed it with Qpip's B&B configuration, it usually doing good entrys but cant properly exit, i used to close trades manually, or 100-150+ profit can be easily lost or even gone minus if u not gonna close position in right time.

I see, you all using Supernova 2.x versions here, im very interesting whats new in it, but i have no idea where to download it?

Tnanx in advance.

Hallo Psyshark!

Thanks for the amazing effort to read through all the Journal & Thread. It is quite a mammoth task by now! Your observations are quite correct and the first version of Supernova is only good, if you have the time to close the trade in time on a reversal. It is an automated entry and manual exit tool.

The version 2.0 of this first EA was replaced in the #1 post of the main thread as the Supernova Glennv1.4 was superior in performance and the 1.5 will actually be the version to got with as soon as the flaw were ironed out by Skyline, who has just returned after a forced holiday with his girlfriend!

On the 1.4 Glenn you should stay away from the damiani and if you want to use it by the rules of testing from Qpip, please do only use the initial ingrediences of the Supernova system. I guess the 1.5flawless will then also allow for the smaller TFs, but that needs to be evaluated by the thread.

Our tests here are still based on the 2.0 version, as otherwise the tests would become incoherent and would show nothing in particular. I have run re-tests with the Glenn versions that evolved over time and can state, that if used in the same way as the testing went here, you may face the same results with a deviation of +/- 7% approxiamtely.

QQE, DMI and MOM are good enough for the results of the midterm tests and those account for 2k pips for Aoutobots and 1.5k pips for B&B. Guess that will be quite sufficient and there is still the possibility to close trades manually as the Glenn EAs now have the feature of not taking any further trades after a signal is getting overly mature.

I hope that helped a bit. For the manual trades there is actually no limit. The approach from Nofx and awesome792 seems to be quite unbeatable and maybe you can converse with the Dogster on this a bit! He is really making some solid money on a daily basis of the 15M chart.

Nice weekend!

Thank you for reference me in this thread Gnat! I have some bookmarks on key-posts there, but it's a bit difficult to operate whole this info just in memory, but i hope only for now.

Dont want to ask this silly question again, but i still cant find on post 1 in main thread Supernova ea v2.0, is we talking same things? This archive http://www.forexfactory.com/attachme...7&d=1193875760 ? If appologise that ea 2.0 is going under name ea 1.4 in the EA folder - its have a simular size.

I didnt use damiani indicator as well for entry/exit for 1.4, forgot to write it.
Since someone wrote not to use damiani,volume, laguerre im using only cci,dmi and qqe(as default) for entry and cci for exit, but still it sometimes doesnt go trade when cci breaks +/-100 level and qqe with dmi crosses.
But anyway, lets whait while Skyline kill out all flies and bugs from this nice and very flexible EA

Btw, im interested in low tf's as well, such as 5 min, but sometimes it volatility isnt enough for even earn out ur spread :S

Thanks Gnat, happy sunday!

Yes... this is all far from being nice. I deleted the post. I have the feeling that whatever I will do is gonna be wrong. I will start testing tomorrow. I won't stop halfway around the track, that's not my cup of tea.

See ya tomorrow, Master Cryten!!

Hey gnat,

I just wrote a (quite lengthy) post at the hive detailing my testing woes and included a table with pip lot discrepancies between brokers and then when I submitted it jammed and I was taken out. Then:

An Error Has Occurred!Sorry, you are out of login chances. Please come back and try again later.

Hallo QPipney!

Oh... sorry! I will look into that right away! I saw the post already, as the platform was still open on my computer while I was away with the boys to look at a miniature train simulation running on thousands of m² in the Hamburg docks.
Marina seems to be recovering but really looks like a ghost from a dungeon! Poor girl. My nerves are raw, but this afternoon was quite fun with the boys!

Hope I get Gerardo to fix the problemd right away. Will Email you about the result as I have it!

See ya soon!
GMatt

Fixed: Mail flying straight west... should be there now for some time!

Hi Pipney!

Just realized you were on here for a small parsec about an hour ago. Have you been back so early today, or was it just a "glimpse form the office"? It would help to get a small note (each day) wether it makes sense to wait up for you or not or which time etc.. Just out of humanitarian reasons ... !!
My Email is always programmed to receive - just like the Hotel California!

Are you getting somewhere with the testing now that the pipvalues have been sorted out? Maybe you could use the Mantis to post problems and we could help solve it there! We only want to help. Don't misunderstand this.

It could go down to the 224 area to then go up to 228 again, break that level and proceed to 231. I am not sure, whether it'll go as far down again, but I am rather sure that it'll go up.

I PMed you earlier this week. Did you get it?

Hi Gnatterz!!

I have been so busy it isn’t funny, worked late all week, got home late + tired, no time to test, no time to analyze the day’s trading, I’ll tell you………….. a total waste of “good” time. I did manage to catch the triple wednesday, but I realized I can’t put the timer at 30 seconds before 17 because then it doesn’t take into account my trade (I think Herb had mentioned something about this with his broker as well). So in my case, I need to set the trade @ 16:58:45 which LEAVES me in the trade a whole ONE MINUTE AND FIFTEEN SECONDS. Now, the bot isn’t instantaneous, of course, but if it had been (the 15 min candle was bearish) I would have made the “triple swap minus spread” profit. However, before closing the trade, about 10 extra seconds went by, by which time I was down about 15 pips (see pic).

http://i2.tinypic.com/6x1sjv4.jpg

I’m still going to test it out over the next few wednesdays, but I’m less sure than I was before of the profitability of this approach. I would need to go back and check all the 15 min candles of past wednesdays at 17:00 to figure out what the “tendency” is.

And as far as testing goes, well I haven’t done much since I didn’t have much time (no time, in fact) but last week-end I had disturbing results in that I couldn’t reproduce my own results (which is alarming) and there’s also the issue about how brokers “calculate” the value of lots for certain pairs. Since my testing was done from 3 sources (Alpari, Metaquotes and MIG) I was getting (and still am) very different results.

Actually for 6 pairs, the value of 1 standard lot IS NOT 100,000 units. See table.

http://i18.tinypic.com/6l2z7ut.jpg

For AUDUSD for instance, the winning trades were magnified and losing trades were “minimized”. So all the testing I did concerning these 6 pairs went straight down the toilet, which is a bit ………. Infuriating to say the least (I’m not using Alpari as a broker, so these results are totally useless since they don’t apply to standard “standard” lots, which is what I’m trading) But before I realized this (last week-end) a lot of testing was already done.

Anywayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

The other thing (major issue for me) is that using the optimizer, depending on the pairs, for ONE SINGLE setting (DMI for example) it can take up to more than 2 hours. I’ve got a couple of testers running + my bots which are straining my machine big time as well as another tester at work working in the background which uses up to almost 100% of my CPU (which means I can barely have other applications running) and which also means I probably set a record of crashings 2 weeks ago. Now, counting the various permutations I need to do between the settings and your head will start spinning, and in addition, my objective is to get that done with NINE pairs. I will probably have white hair by the time I’m done (or I can ask santa for another BIG computer…………)

Something else I was observing. You basically don’t need the “best” setups for the system to work, just one set of set ups that come out POSITIVE. From there, simply increase the lot sizes to the desired “pay cheque” (depending on available capital OF COURSE LOL).

OK I’ll stop typing and start thinking of a way to get around them pitfalls.

HAPPY FRIDAY !!!!!!!!!!!!

nb: can you believe tomorrow is already DECEMBER 1 ?!??! (and you're even closer to that than me!!!)

Hi Pipsy!

Nice to have you here on screen again! This sounds like a major turmoil in many aspects! Uff! Herb pointed out this week, that many errors and double trading could be omitted by using the latest version only. I guess he brought a bundle of things back in line there and he also made it easier for himself to re-check on the code!

Is there any way to contribute in a positive way concerning the troubles in the company you are with? Somehow it seems your promotion brought you in charge of a mammoth task like saving the company from "whatever"... banks, clients, no clients,... things as such!

Today is Obiwans birthday andd we left our greetings for him in the Hive. He seems to still be online there right now, but if you leave a little message for him later, he will really tear himself a new a....... for joy! I hope you got the EMail with the slightly deviating PW!

Viele Gruesse!
GMatt
