Hi Smeden

Is this a room where like-minded traders using the system can discuss set ups/ results etc...?. and do we have to register etc... Look forward to sharing and see you all tomorrow

Cheers

hi all,

i'm new to this thread and i have a question.

the version wich is posted in the first post (pictures)
seems very good to me, i like it. does it work?

but the version wich is attached in the zip-file of the first post seems to be extreme messy to me, i dont think that its tradeable with all the indis.

can someone please clear my mind about this?

did the first "old" version work well or is it a must to use the one in the attachments?

where can i get the files and a template only from the "old" version?

thank you very much...

regards

Hi Supernovae,

Glenn has asked me to take a look at Skyline's EA to see if we can straighten out what's ailing it. I found a few issues and corrected them, but we are not out of the woods, I fear. If the group wouldn't mind doing a bit of forward testing on this week, it would be a big help. This EA uses Laguerre to improve the entries and exit for shorter timeframes and I believe Glenn is especially keen to see this working.

So, any input regarding misbehavior would be appreciated. This EA could make a nice complement to TrendChaser's EA.

Thanks!

Rick

Hallo Rick!

As I am back from the christmas holidays I will be on it from tomorrow on. So you wwould prefer us to look into the Laguerre entry and exit on the smaller TFs, right?
Do you have the feeling that the initial (original) entry on the QQEA is working with this version?
I will get back to you with results, questions, coffee, name it! Thank you so much for your help!!

Ciao

Hi Matt,

Yes, we will want to focus on Laguerre for short time frames, but I suspect that there are a few other gremlins we will need to squash. Hopefully, we can squash those early in the week and focus on laguerre from then on. I have noticed that there is no code to handle order open and close errors and I will have to take care of that, as well. Overall, the code is really pretty complete, but there are so many indicators that only forward testing will move us in the right direction. Skyline did a good job setting up the conditions. But there sure are a lot of them

Still, the EA is not far off. Just a few rough spots and with luck we will be on solid footing for market open one week from now.

Thanks Rick, we have been looking forward to this for a long time it seems! I think it would be helpful for all testers to "organize" somewhat, so I'll chime in to start:

Right now I'm running 10 pairs, all the majors and a few crosses, 30M with selected Take profit and trailing PSAR for stop loss.

Lets see how it goes..
Here's to major pips in 2008!!

Hallo Wolfster!

Please let me know what currency pairs exactly you are looking at, as my selection or box of frogs contains rather all the crosses and a few majors!
I guess testing the Laguerre is possible on 30M, but on Imrain's thread they are mainly using it for scalping on the 5M to 15M. Nevertheless please go forward on that 30M, then I will try to cover 15M on all yen crosses (I don't have the CADJPY though) and the GBPUSD, AUDUSD and USDCAD + EURCAD.
Have a good one!

Greetz!

I'm on G/J- E/J -G/U -U/J -U/CHF -E/U -U/CAD -A/U -NZD/U -CHF/J

I like what I see from Laguerre on 30M so I'll use it for now.
Default settings, except for:
QQE5 on G/J
Trailing psar by 2 candles
Max shift from QQE cross 2
Damiani- false
Exit on everything

Started it up about about 2 hrs ago, no trade yet. The problem I had with the latest 1.5 glen was it took no trades, ever. Looking forward to this 1.6!
Any suggestions you may have man, Shout them out!

Hello people!
I just dit some vacation days (no trade). During this free time I've read another interesting thread: "key of the mint" ... it helps you to stay always with the mainly trend. Do you know it?
About Supernova I think I understand it quite well now but one dubt is still in my mind: if put trades just in one direction(hourly/4H/daily trend - moving average 50 slope etc.??) or simply get every signals when they are valid.
Maybe I lost some suggestions or post about that ,,, who can help me
ciao see you soon

Hey Autaret,

I do think you have a really good grasp of the Supernova - I can tell by the trades you posted that you know what you are doing. And I hope I am understanding your question here - but yes, if you go with the major trend, you will miss some profitable signals in the other direction. This is why I like to use the daily/weekly pivots for trading it on the smaller time frames.

There is obviously nothing wrong with just going with the major trend but I just like to trade it in between the daily moves best. That is just a personal preference and is by no means the only way to trade the system.

Good trading to you,

NOFX

BTW - I am not familiar with "key of the mint" but sounds like a trend thing from your description - I just don't have time to follow up on all these different threads - LOL!

Hello Rick,
hallo Wolfster!

I started the test pretty successfully once more on the 15M. The first trade had to go into the bin and lost about 55 bucks, but the next three trades were real signals and taken beautifully (nearly NOFX like!). The PSAR is moving the trailingstop and ended the trade on the NZDJPY in profit! So far The performance is pretty good.
One problem arose that I would like to post here early:

2008.01.07 12:45:15 '1791486': order sell 0.10 AUDJPY opening at 95.39 sl: 0.00 tp: 0.00 failed [Trade context is busy]

As IBFX is notorious these days with this special sort of non-performance I have missed the signal on the AUDJPY completely. Would it be possible to let the EA retry on a signal until it has been executed on the same candle? I hope this is codeable!

So long!

ROTFL!! That's the way life goes!
Is it possible that you enter on really complicated combinations of the magnitude of indicators involved? I am trading for maybe 4 hours on 15M. Entered 7 trades, closed 5 (4:1 / W:L but the looser was the initial trade) and one trade missed as on the posting above.

I am long USDCAD also at about the same time. Having the EA on 12 pairs with the EURUSD being the only one I am not sure of. (Or rather sure it is worthless on 15M!)

Hi Gnat,

Yes, the current code does not retry for opens or closes. I am going to make it check on a per tick basis if an operation has failed and retry on the next tick. That will solve the problem.

Hi Orion,

There are so many indicators in this EA that it is possible to restrict it to nearly no action (talk about safe!). Glad it opened your Loonie trade. Now the real question? Was the trade profitable

Heho Rick!

That would be a goody! My USDCAD trade made 1 pip or 1.99 USD, höhö! But the short on the GBPJPY made 79 bucks and so far I am in a clear and growing surplus. So far with my rather simplistic entry rules I am faring pretty well. Will keep reproting.
