sorry here they are. also I changed the ending of the set file to TXT as I was told you need to do that to upload.
Hi Pipsqueaker,

I hate to ask, but could you please post a screen capture with the indicators that the app uses? Also, could you verify that the indicators on the screen are set to the same values as the EA? Also, could you check to see if their were any requotes? I will look at the code, also to see if I can see a problem with DMI.

Hi!
I have an idea on improving the money management - how about multiplying the lot size after number of losses in a row(example - after 3 losses triple the lot). This should never cause to acc blowing up(since we dont start doubling from the beginning), and this might be nice addition to profits.

And one more thing, which might be helpfull(but not sure if it possible to code), here -http://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?p=1811059.

BTW
You don't include me in the list of testers?

Hi Alex,

This is just my personal opinion, but I don't believe in increasing lots to make up for losers. Losing is part of trading. Every trader has losses. It is better to stick with a disciplined approach (2% of account, for instance) and let the long running trends overcome losses. Let winners run and cut losers short.

For some reason, my station is not taking trades. I've loaded the latest 1.1.beta5. Changed all entries to 'false' except QQE. All indicators are installed and have a smiley face. I set option for 'allow live trading' and 'allow DLL imports'. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Field

EDIT: restarted the platform for the 3 or 4th time and now I have a trade.

I wonder if your setting of 5 on a shift from qqe is doing that. I caught that same signal, but one candle earlier with qqe and t3 entry. (my shift is set at 2) Not that it made much difference, I still dropped 8 on that one. Have you found a shift of 5 good?

What came of your QQE tweaking we talked about a couple of weeks ago? (2,7,2.536) I've been messing with it some, trying to find an additional indi to confirm those early signals it gives; mixed results there.

I got a couple of good scalps today on E/U, but I can't figure out why they exited when they did. I'm not complaining of course, just trying to understand how this works and why.

I think it may be the CCI. How is the ea coded to trade the CCI signals? I think I may have the centerline wrong; or maybe there is supposed to be two of them? When you get a moment- no rush. Thanks

P.S. What are those little yellow dashes in the HA's that I see every so often?

Hi Wolfe,

I will look a little later. Really tired. Just got done with Beta 6 and am going to let it run a little. Should release it in a few hours. It has UserCommnet on screen and in order, PSAR entry and Exit, and a flag for either setting TP and SL in order or hiding it.

no kidding, they had an accident there today as I was heading to lodi and it was stopped from 205 all the way past Lathrop

We need to hook up sometime to talk trade shop. Check your schedule and I can cruise to Starbucks in San Ramon or the one in Dublin or Pleasanton.

My tweaking worked pretty good but the 5min took me from a 25k demo to a 7k, I then switched to 15min and it has climbed back up to 12k with more to come.

Just wanted to let everyone know that I am still working on the ftp accounts for the testers. I made a nameserver change and the propagation should be complete within the next 24 hours.

I expect the testing process will take several months but let's eat this elephant one bite at a time

Thankfully, we have a very talented programmer on board and, over time, we will discover optimal settings for each currency pair.

One of the things I have noticed so far is that trading hours have a huge effect on profitability. Each pair is different, of course, but I have noticed that certain pairs tend to perform better during different time periods.

Anyway, thank you to all the testers that have volunteered! Hopefully we can get everything together this week and start enjoying elephant stew next week

Hi Orion,

That is great news, thanks for gtting the FTP server ready.

I also have noticed that timing makes a difference. Stopping the pairs from taking new orders through the dead zone when the lack of volatility muddles the signals has been useful.

I have completed beta 6 and will release it today after some testing. It has PSar entries and exits, a flag to place the SL and TP with the order or hide it from the broker, and a use defined comment that will appear in the order comment and on the screen.

Yeah...low volatility makes it a crap-shoot. That is why I like the Juice indicator. Never had much luck with damanai but that is probably more from a lack of understanding than anything else.

Looking forward to b6! Really happy to see the evolution of Supernova.

Hi Orion,

The only thing I am trying to decide on before the release is PSar default settings. I currently default it to the standard .02,.2,7 settings. In addition, I have provided a user input to specify the bar to use for the test. I have defaulted it to 1 which uses the last closed bar, but a value of 0 is the current bar which in testing has given good results getting into the trade sooner.

Do you have an opinion as to better starting values for PSar? I believe Trendchaser has been using .006,.2,7, but I haven't tried these yet.

Once these are decided upon, the release is a go. I was reluctant to add another indicator, but I think PSar is going to be really useful.

Hi Wolfe,

CCI uses the 100 and -100 lines for it's decisions. I really need to make a short document explaining the inputs.

The HA seems to be happier with candlesticks rather than OHLC bars

Hallo Orion!

This will be one mammouth task, but with so many testers and a good schedule we will be much faster.

Thank you especially for providing the server as we will have a single reference point for all information and do not need to remember post numbers.

Each pair needs a setting, but I hope that we will find at least something like a universal guidline in order not to curvefit the whole process. I mean a setting that will be profitable for nearly all pairs or a group of pairs like the Yen crosses and making a special EURJPY setting out of that with higher returns.

Thanks for the Supernova Server!!
