Hi Gnat!
I went thru the replies to my post. Help understand the entry point.
The attachment is a screen shot from my demo (GBPCHF, just before the London open). The last arrow down has 12 candles of red. And the T-3 is going thru the 1st and the 2nd red candles. The arrow itself (the QQEA cross that is) occurred on the 2nd candle. On which candle am I supposed to get in on? I know there is not a hard and fast rule but generalizations should be there of some sort.

Best regards,
Randy.
Hallo Randy!

The best normal entry would have taken place one or two candles (Heiken Ashi bars) after the QQEA cross and therefor the arrow on the chart. This entry is clearly late. What I cannot see from your screenshot is, whether other criteria were also needed to enter the trade. If the entry was not based on QQEA only, then there are a number of reasons postponing the trade. Taken all into account the entry still is late.
But nevermind, this is a testing phasis and after the weekend we may be looking at even fater entries than we've ever seen.

Good Weekend!
Gnat

Hallo Rick!

A CHFJPY trade was behaving strangely. Please see the text on the chart for that.

Here you see the closing of the trade ...

717595152008.01.11 20:45sell0.10chfjpy98.8598.920.002008.01.11 20:4598.920.000.000.00-6.42

And here is the command to move the stops:

2008.01.11 21:45:56 SuperNova EA (Glenn) v1[1].7.Beta3 CHFJPY,M15: modify #71759515 sell 0.10 CHFJPY at 98.85 sl: 98.92 tp: 0.00 ok

LOL ... and now I see that everything is alright, as the damn thing tried to close the trade for minutes and the "Trade context was busy" all the time!
Well now at least you know I was working on this a this time of Saturday already - or nearly still.

Still the trade had a very short lifeline. I will look into that from that perspective.

In the new version the losing trades are really not giving away big money any longer. In the 1.6 sometimes the losers needed about 2-3 winners. Now it seems on average a winner can bear two losers.

Good Weekend once more: I will be on a soccer tournament with my second son - be back in the evening!

Bye!
Matt

Hi all,

I managed to go thru the entire thread this weekend and I must say WOW! Many thanks to Cryten, Gnat, Nofx, Awesome and many others for your contributions. Your willingness to share and help others is truly inspiring!

I'll be forward testing next week on 15M eur/jpy using micro lots with the original rules of engagement except for DMI settings which I'll be using 5 instead of 14 as suggested by Nofx. Was tempted to test it on the guppy but got bent over backwards many times by it I decided to stay away. I've been trading the eur/jpy exclusively for abt 6 mths using basic PA and S/R levels so I'm somewhat familiar with it's mood swings .

I'll be posting my results and any feedback from supernovians will be greatly appreciated. Trades will be taken during the european session only which works out well for me since I'm usually back from work juz in time for london open.

Have a good trading week and
may your pips breed like rabbits

Regards,
Ab

Hey Gnat-man....

I cruise a lot of threads and I see by your posts that you do too.

I am currently working on a hybrid system combining elements of Supernova, Imran, SnapCracklePip, TradeThe Slope, PivotPoint Squeeze, The Mint and Ozfx.

Way too many indicators right now and I am trying to weed out those that are just redundant. At this rate, I am going to need a supercomputer to keep up but, who knows....even a blind dog finds a bone once in awhile

Hi Trendchaser,

I promised to look at Heiken Ashi to see if there was a way you could automate your stops. I looked at the code and HA is a bit tricky, but this should work:

void getHeikenAshiHiLo(double& haHigh, double& haLow, int lookBackBar)
{
double haVal1 = iCustom(NULL,0,"Heiken Ashi",Red,DodgerBlue,Red,DodgerBlue,0,lookBackBar);
double haVal2 = iCustom(NULL,0,"Heiken Ashi",Red,DodgerBlue,Red,DodgerBlue,1,lookBackBar);
double haOpen = iCustom(NULL,0,"Heiken Ashi",Red,DodgerBlue,Red,DodgerBlue,2,lookBackBar);
double haClose = iCustom(NULL,0,"Heiken Ashi",Red,DodgerBlue,Red,DodgerBlue,3,lookBackBar);

if (haOpen < haClose)
{
haHigh = haVal2;
haLow = haVal1;
}
else
{
haHigh = haVal1;
haLow = haVal2;
}
}

So, just call it passing in the variables listed. The & sign in the parameter means the function will pass by reference instead of by value, so the variable will contain the correct HA value after the call.

Let me know if this is OK. There is an easier way to code this using a for loop and an array, but the way I just demonstrated is easier to read.

Wow Orion!

That is something of a task. I would rather consider the Supernova and the OzFX system to run side by side for medium and really long TFs. But then the OZ-thingy needs some improvements as it seems.
The Mint seems to be worth the while, but I have no time to really get into that with other things more pressing right now. But I have an eye on that too. Imran is on the short-short end of all that and my goal is really to get the longer TFs automated and trade the shorter manually.
But I guess it could be made into a combined system - in a year, LOL! Which may actually be worth it. If you want to test multiple things you can use the software of Vitovd here on FF. There you can combine you findings into single reports and have a picture of the combined relative drawdown and the profitfactor etc.!

Nice weekend!

Hallo Rick!

I do not see the value in making the Heiken Ashi a point of tradedecision in other than manual trading to be honest.
Maybe in their relation to the T3 line there may be some value.
Right now I am backtesting the beta3 and I found nice setting that are giving you a surplus of 95% from September to mid-December. Then there is the rule kicking in not to trade around holidays and the results are battered a bit. From my personal view I really traded a bit during the holidays as the moves of the GBPJPY (same as I backtested) were rather clear and nice - but very quick! Maybe that is the point where we need some coherent thinking - how to make it more reactive on fast moves.
There was an idea I posted on the system journal in October. If there is some sharp movement, a second indicator should trigger a PSAR TS session and catch a bad move or to get us out of a profitable but fat reversing move. I will get you the postnumbers and pages later on.

Happy weekend!

Hi Matt,

I haven't used HA in the way TC does, but I promised I would help him automate it for use in his EA's. I believe he likes to manually use HA to do trailing stops.

Please let me know any information/ideas you have on handling fast moving markets. I have been thinking of this, as well. I'm sure we will come up with something reasonable.

I will have to postpone our little discussion here, as I am carrying a splitting headache right now, without having drunken anything! What a drain!
We will get to that tomorrow then - need to take some aspirin and hit the pillow!

Just to say a quick hello to everybody. I was busy this week looking for a system to easily judge the mainly trend to trade disciplinated with.
I found that the "mint" approach fit very well with Supernova and allow to avoid 95%+ consolidation period becouse you are allowed to enter the market just when the trend is very strong at the daily level. It means LESS trades MORE secure. The nice thing is that with "Supernova" setup 15 min you can anticipate the "mint" hourly entry and get earlier your pips target. I tested it on my real account with good results.
See you next week ... have a good trading to everybody!! ciao ciao

Hi Autaret,

That is very interesting information. I have looked at the Mint method as I am a trend follower at heart and thought it might have promise as an addition to Supernova. I believe Gnat and Orion were just alluding to something similar. I will take a look to see if it can be incorporated into the EA if the group thinks the idea has merit.

Hallo Shamsi!

You need to download the ZIP file from the first post and unpack the included "indicators" folder into the programs/"YOURMT4BROKER/experts/indicators folder on your harddrive. Then just close and reopen the platform and the EA should find all that he is missing so desperately right now.
If it happens that the folder from the ZIP file lands in the above mentioned subfolder of your MT4-platform, then just copy all the included files into the right spot.

Happy Monday!
