Gnat is right. Wait a little longer before using the 1.5 robot. Rick Myers is reviewing the code to locate a glitch that is preventing good exits. Like Sky, he has tons of experience, and, besides that, he also hangs out near the ocean. Wow.
The parameters of the Skyline EA are good. Exits on the Laguerre show lots of promise, especially in combination with the CCI. Rick tells me he is going to spray some oil on the gears. Wolfie is having success with the bot by TrendChaser.

Hello people! Did you have a good Christmas?
Today I got the long signal on e/j at 6:45 (GMT+1)
I played 3 minicontracts, bit "overmoneymanaged"
result: C1 + TP 10 pips
C2 + TP 20 pips
C3 + 24 pips (tryed to trail it but no luck...)
total + 54
Was really difficult to live the trade (easy to see it after done!), becouse you have to bear a first retracement and go totally out of the money, then to see another deep retracement at 14:30 GMT+1. I prefered to close the 3° contract before to see it out yhe money ...
This was real and manual of course
I'm trying the EA as well on the demo account. It opened a contract on the hourly chart e/j at 17:00 gmt+1 (dec 26), now in profit + 96 pips ... wow. I'm trying to follow it by parabolic sar.

Thanks for the heads up guys, I appreciate it. I've been manually trading the system so I haven't messed with any of the bots. I've made some great returns so thanks to all the developments. I have 6 EAs from this thread so I am a bit confused, anyway, on which one to use with which settings. I will attach a screenshot of what I am looking at. I probably have too many indicators and I am not real sure which ones do what. I am pretty much listening for the signal and trading accordingly. I am totally open for opinions and suggestions if anyone has time.

Thanks!

Hello everybody!
I'm taking advantage from some vacation days to continue my extensive Supernova trying. Today early in the morning I looked at eurusd, I got a 15 min valid signal at 6.45 GMT+1. I traded my style 3 minicontracts (about 3% risk in total). This was the positive result:
C1 = + 10 pips TP
C2 = + 20 pips TP
C3 = + 68 pips (manual close at 15:45, not sure of the momentum but I was wrong
Anyway, total profit= 98 pips
What do you think (especially Mr. Nofx and all the expert guys) about this trading style? I try to get early my two first targets and with 30 pips in my pokets I move the stop loss manually under the following wave swing (NO break if I dont see the price to be at least 35-40 or more pips above the entry point).
I adopted this first 10 pips TP contract becouse after a manual backtes (on e/j and e/u) I saw that 10 pips is generally a minimum move you get when the signal is a "not good one" or a weak one. Of course you have to babysit carefully the trade at the very beginning and to be ready to close all with a minimum profit or a not bad loss. It make sense??
Another personal observation: on the japan crosses and eurusd as well I think is better to anticipate the "trade time" at least 3 or 4 hours before the London open. This time You can get very early signals with very low risk (not often but worth the effort), especially when you are trading in the direction of a nice trend on a daily basis.
Have a good trading!!!!

On the EA there are various indicators noted in the program asking true or false for entry and exit points. How are people using them, all true or all false or what?

Hi autaret,

Looking nice there! I think that this will work out very nice for you. I do like your approach and I think you will do well if you stick with it. As you know, I definitely like locking in profit as I go which is what you are doing with the 3 contract approach.

I have never traded any pair but the GBP/JPY but it looks like you have found a good way to make this profitable on other pairs so keep it up and good trading to you!

Oh my Gosh..... I can't beleive I finished the whole thing..... I read the entire thread, (took me longer than I care to admit).

I must say this has been the most inspiring thread I have had the pleasure of viewing. I have downloaded every mq, ex, vt, set file, jpeg, pdf, txt, abcdefg..lol

I have learned more in this thread than I have in the last 8 years. I have been trading off and on since 1999. I can remember being up late the night (early morn) before my 1st "eggling" was born. I was so exhausted in the delivery room and momma hen was so pissed at me for being tired.

I was in a trade on 9-11 when my Swiss short took off like a rocket and blew right through my TP by 300 pips and then my feed went dead as my broker (Tamb International) was located in the 1st WTC Tower. Crazy time after that pushed me out of the market.

Watching the evolvment of the systems has inspired me to get back in full time. Its funny I feel I know the Pillars here like we grew up together.

Hats off to:

Cryten (The Head of the Thread, for birthing this system)

QPIPS (The glutten for numbers and perfection, and stand up comic lolololol)

Sky and Glenn (our magicians and technician)

Nofx (Our doing it "doggie style" old school trader, your natural insight is what makes good traders even better)

Wolfeman (One of my fellow WestCoasters, we need to gather up the WC posse and do some face time brainstorming)

GNAT ( our keeper of the peace, I wish I was done with the thread in time to jump on the moron "Dog Catcher" who tried to take out pooch away, oh i guess i just did... cool)

Awsome (Our breath of fresh air, whos boss should be socked just for the whole GA thing, it is a crime not to be able to trade when you want to)

TrendChaser (Wow what can I say, you crack me up, I can just see the beer cans piling up next to you like a writer's paper pile while you crank out code and revisions with in minutes of a request, and then wake up in the am drooling on your key board with the last code reading bowels.ex4....lol you rock and thanks for all your time and dedication even though EA is not your first choice as much as your love to write code, we all are very grateful for that.... chBeers to you....)

Orion, and too many more to list. I am looking forward to keeping this thread alive and upbeat. I would suggest a group live/demo trade session via skype after the new year maybe hosted by Nofx, just to get the 2008 juices flowing... just a thought.

Well I thinks I said enough for now, sorry for the long post, but 206 pages and 500+ downloads will do that to ya. "see ya on the pipside"

You will have to find out by testing or you can use one of the tableaus posted here earlier. The easiest thing to do is to take the 1H chart and use QQEA for entry and exit (and nothing else). Then monitor your trades manually for the exit procedure and you may get pretty good results already.

To find the tableaus please look into the paperclip in the upper right hand corner of the thread. They are in the *.jpg format, so you will only have to hunt for jpgs there.

Wow! So many pips out of the EURUSD is really good, although the move was long and rather consistent. I think your method of profit-taking is a mixture of Spudfyre & NOFX at this point and may be considered by other manual traders here!
"Trade Time" 3-4 hours before London to get signals is alright as long as the London open does not instantly call for a new direction, which happens sometimes. But then you can surely still close the trade with profit!

hello every1
the holidays are great, but the recovery is hard
id imagine the holidays has costed you atleast half what its costed me

turns out iv been making 10% profit a day
but drinking 500% of it
i wasnt aware of this untill the end of year report came out

i need donations

this is where i need help with my bm (beer management)
i see my problems but fixing them is another story

i get these greedy urges n thoughts
i mean why spend so long when theres a way to do it today

i end up way over drinking n get marginned out
this is realy putting a hurtin on my retirement plan

and im spending way to much time in front of the puter (passed out)
im getting realy stressed out here ppl

well so far i have a great trading plan n its working with the exeption of my bm

i have ideas though, maybe i could limit the beers per pips i make
but i dont make enough pips
this is a catastrophic situation im in

if i could just balance it so i end up with 1% at the end of the day
id be ok

im sure glad these holidays are bout over
im down 1000% now

i have more cans than pips
but the cans are worth more than the pips
50 times more actually
and im averaging 12 cans per 100 pips
for u guys not residing in the usa
each can is worth $100

for you guys residing in the usa, shhhhh

the best idea iv come up with is the simplest
i need u guys to send me beer

in return i will update the bowels ea

it hasnt worked for me yet but every system is diferent per person
maybe its for YOU


the more beer u send the better
imagine the coding id get done
i definatly sence the holy grail

if u send enough beer
il make a ea that does everything 100% guaranteed
itl turn ur puter on
check ur mail (even reply to msgs)
load mt4
make money
run a disk clean n defrag at end of day
tuck in the little ones
then send you a check in hawaii before turning puter off

perfect huh
iv been developing this for years
could happen any case now

everyday is a new day and 1 step closer

just think, each day i rake my desk clean and have a fresh start

i need a fresh start for all of us, not just me (i do enjoy it though)

substitutions for beer include the following but are not limited to:marijuanna, lsd, crack, morphine, heroin, liquor(no rum it makes me sleepy), ecstacy, nyquil, meth, ice (the drug), mushrooms, women(no fatties), gasoline, or money.
refund policy: n/a
guarantees: not guaranteed
notice of risk:send only what you can afford
my trading plan includes trading with you, beer for nothing
so when u recieve nothing dont complain to me, you should have read the fine print

Welcome Ken! I really liked your first post. If I know English as you do I wanted thanks all people here with your same words .... but unfortunately I have some limits
Thank you GNAT and NOFX for your answers ... your interest make me strong in continuing this hard but wonderful job (and dream!)
Yes I got some ideas from this great place for my 3 contracts approach and I'm happy to share it to you.
Now I'm working at 2 different new things: 1) a study on correlation beetwen pairs to allow me to chose the best one to trade in the mornig and to restrict the number of observations 2) a set of rules to enter "piramyded" contracts n. 4-5-6 etc. opening the 5 minutes charts (after I entered the contract 1-2-3 with the signal on 15 min chart) and using the "fractal" indicator to pint point the entryes. Looking at the same today's trade (eurusd) - on the paper - this tecnique worthed + 328 pips ... not bad ... of course was a nice daily movement and not always happens.
p.s. the EA give me satisfacion on e/j hourly (demo). I'm gettinge experience with that (its my first "robot") ... the best for me is - by now - to close manually the trades. In the future will try to learn how to set it for an automatic conclusion. Bed time for me now ... ciao ciao!

Well, so far I have narrowed my choice of broker, based on feed back here, to EFX. I have a question regarding if they and MBT are one in the same?

I am also looking for a reliable Metabroker to have a bot account with, I like MIG from what I have researched, but have never openned an account with a broker overseas, any thoughts would be helpful....
