Actually, the psar EA was working really well for me until yesterday. In just under 2 weeks it took a $3k demo account up to $3724. In the last 24 hours, it has given every bit of that back.

My luck with the supernova ea's was just so-so. I am going to wait until rick and skyline have had a chance to go over the code a bit before resuming tests on those.

I have had the best luck with psar but even it seems to have gone snakey the last day or two. I was rather surprised to see it take longs at peaks and shorts at troughs!
Yea,it's kinda funny right now. I know that many seasoned traders shut their computers off around Dec. 15th or so, and wait for the new year. It's starting to make sense....But I just can't help it!!! I guess I'll just have to see it for myself, and roll with the punches.......

I'm just taking extremely small positions right now. More out of boredom than anything else.

yeah its not good when we have a range on higher tf
this happens at times looking back in history
this is where you need to move up a tf until volatilty returns

it must be the account
your auto settings are not working
your actually using default settings in ea, 0.0023 0.3

i guess youl have to input the settings from the comment to the ea

in beta 2 i believe this wouldnt be a problem as iv added auto settings to both acc types

but if you dont tell the ea the acc is normal then they wont work

Hey Trendchaser, so I reloaded the profiles as you suggested, changed only the psar to optimized and tick mode true. The ea works now, but seems to be doing exactly the wrong thing. Enters late after a move starts and exits are well after retracement is underway. Out of 25 trades 21 were losses. I must be doing something else wrong, any ideas?

That's what I had done that caused the ea to not trade a couple of days ago...do you remember that? After reading the first post where it says the comments are always the correct settings, I went through properties and reset them all according to the comments- the ea just sat there for 12 hours, no trades. I am using an IBFX mini account.

What have your results been like the last day or so- with a fairly flat market and all?

alpha and beta are terms used in software development. An alpha version is a first shot attempt. A beta is slightly more refined and meant for testing before the final version is released. There may be more than one beta versions released, each an attempt to improve on previous versions.

what every1 needs to do is look at 4h n daily charts at these ranges
you may want to restrict ea trading direction, maybe even increase a tf
to get through less volatile times

you need to always have a sence of what the markets doing along side using a ea

But the optimized settings are specifically designed for a 5m TF ?

youd need to adjust the ea for market conditions if you dont wanna suffer these ranging periods
maybe just knowing when to turn it off?you can use envelopes on h4
a good setting now is period 30, smoothed, median price
dev about 1 for exit

entry could be narrowed

Thanks mfor the EA Trendchaser. I just put it on my charts and I noticed the PSAR is different for each pair. How did you calculate these PSAR values?

Thanks again.

i optimized in the tester
you may find better settings on diferent tf per pair

i did some testing the other day n these were what was best

gbp-jpy m30 0.003
eur-usd m15 0.0001
usd-jpy h1 0.0016
gbp-usd m30 0.004

not that im running these settings

the best settings i think.
are what looks good on the chart
good entry, n tp manually
use pivots n draw your own s&r
