I am sending a contractor over to your house immediately to install some porcelain furniture next to your bed (BAD) so as to ease your suffering my friend. I hope the installation noise will not be too much for you to bear as I am sure it will provide relief in the end (either one or both of your ends) SHITE!

Get well!

I only took 3 trade last night live, but were my 1st supernova live trades. 1 looser, 2 winners, I took 2 ej trades early in the night with no follow thru on them. After regrouping and waiting on a good signal, here's my last gj trade. Entry at 227.14 and exit at 228.36 for +122 pips live. I use my own fib set up for exits and after at least a 40 pip move, on a reversal I draw my fibs and won't exit unless I get a candle open below the 75 line or in a short a candle above the 25 line. at times I give back a lot of pips, but over all It keeps me in the trades much longer and for far more pips. as the trade moves along, I just keep redrawing my fibs(has to be at least 40 pips). but I do go to break even after +20 pips, because I don't like loosers and would rather exit break even and look for another entry. I would really like to get ahold of the mq.4 files on the supernova v1 and qqe to be able to set my line sizes and colors, so ever time I open my charts I don't have to reset them all. Thanks for the set up and for all the great post on this system.

I have not ever had any trouble resetting line sizes and colors - this seems strange to me. I am prolly missing something here. I do have to reset my pivots every new day.

Good trade there though and I am sure there is merit to the fib approach as well. I just use pivots instead but it all amounts to the same thing in the end - we are looking for S/R levels. I also don't trade the E/J for that reason - follow through. Usually the G/Y will follow through with at least 20 pips which is why I stick to that pair.

Good trading,

NOFX

Edit - Perhaps the E/J would work better on higher time frames - just a thought - haven't checked it out.

Thanks for your reply, yea thinking about longer time frame on ej maybe 30 minute. But the qqe always wants to do a 2/3 line size and the supernova wants a 2 line size. I'm just use to seting my sizes and colors in the script and then it's always the way I want, no worries.

got 10 pips on gbp/jpy today, I have decided trailing stops are not for me lol made 20 pips on EUR/USD but could have done better there too. Well 30 pips profit is better then a punch in the face as my grandad used to say.

Ah yes my friend - he does - and I have the cough and headache thing going but am feeling much more frisky after my nap. Hope to be back in force tonight and after another nap LOL. Nice work getting some pips there - I know Dragon lairs can be distracting yet rewarding.

Good to see you back!!

Edit: My father says "sharp stick in the eye" as opposed to "punch in the face" LOL! Same result I guess.

Hi NoFx,
How do u reset the supernova v1 color?
The other thing is how to reset your pivots?
Are u using normal pivot or ###Auto Pivot and what is the difference.?

Sorry did not know u are not well. Hope u get well fast.

Well I really do not know about resetting the color as I have always used the standard colors that come with the indicator. I would imagine you just go change them like you would any other indi. I use the ###Auto Pivot as it includes weekly and monthly pivots as well.

Thanks for the get well wishes - am feeling much better now.

Trying out TC's newest EA on a fresh $3K demo account.

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y17...70/results.jpg

I use managetpv34 for the exits but when the third and final stop_target is hit, I remove the EA and use trailing stops.

Happy so far

That looks pretty nice O70! So it is kind of a half EA/half manual approach? That could work too - I will have to think about it as I learn more about the various EA's out there.

Yeah...it seems to me that the EA's make pretty good entries but not-so-good exits. This is only a one day test, of course, but initial results are encouraging.

That is exactly the same conclusion I came to with my very limited exposure to the EA. Entries were great - exits sucked. I haven't really had much time to look into it yet. I think there could be an answer to it but I sort of agree with one of your previous posts about have way too many indicators not being very good for a bot. I mean I take so many factors into consideration when taking profits at a certain point that it is hard to imagine an EA could do that consistently. Maybe it would be possible but just with smaller profits.

Anyway - your idea may end up being the best solution in the end. Like I said - I am so new to the EA that I really am still trying to figure out all the settings and what they do at this point. And I have only worked with one of the original formulas. I have not tried Glenn's or Trendchaser's at this point.

NOFX


Edit: BTW - I don't expect the EA to ever match the profits of manual trading but it would be nice to see an even and progressive trend up in balance over the long haul (with out a large drawdown ) even if a slow one

I don't remember writing that too many indicators confuse the bot but, if I didn't, I should have

We could further automate this if someone could integrate the managetp EA with the Supernova EA AND make it auto-reset. The icing on the cake would be to add a TS after the third stop_target is reached.

Even if those changes were made, we would probably still need to use set files for each pair traded....a 20 pip 'max loss' won't work for GJ but is fine for EU.

BTW, my demo is now up up 13.2% with another 1% floating.

I think you are spot on there man. I don't know if that is even possible however. That goes way beyond my knowledge of computers or programming.

And you are right - it was Tmac that posted that about the too many indis - my mistake.

My TS was hit on GJ for +150 pips but the EA immediately re-entered. I thought "one entry per signal=true" was supposed to prevent that. Maybe I am not understanding that parameter correctly.

Hey I just PM'd you with the main site for this type of stuff. I don't like to give out links here as the management seems to be quite schizophrenic in what they will allow and what they won't. I have had good friends whacked with infractions for stupid SHITE!
