Hallo Rick!

Got a splitting headache today out of thin air - you apparently had another coding-fit! I hope it is more pleasant to have that!!
Seems we can get the testing started next week. Unfortunately, as is caught you lately on the weekend, I will have to leave here for the weekend from 25th-27th with little chance to get in here. I will take a Laptop with me and it is equipped with everything I need, but the problem will be to get connected.
As it is half family and half business it is hard or rather impossible to postpone, which bugs me. At the moment I am pestered with so many things outside of my trading that a good conspiracy theorist would be happy to work something out for me!!
Thanks for the fast work once more. On the PSAR: If you set it to "0", but let the settings trail the proce more loosely, it has better results than tight settings on bar "1".

Have a good day .... I will take something to get my head back!
Ciao

Try a cup of strong coffe. I often get migraines and I have found it helps (after all, most pain killers contain caffeine).

Thanks, Matt! I have already decided to set bar 0 as the default, so your advice confirms what I am seeing. I haven't decided on the rest of the settings, but I suppose I could leave the defaults and just let people try it out. Also, I gave the entry and exit PSars their own settings, so you can use different criteria for the entry and exit conditions. Oh, and the PSar's I added are in addition to the trailing PSar, as you requested

Hey Rick!

Thanks for keeping the PSar in place there for trailing. Now I am going to let chemistry and coffee do their work on my head - they will certainly do something to my stomach! Hehehe! :

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.

Rick
I don't have a good feel on psar settings. TC uses a specific setting for GJ on 15M but I have no idea if that is a good fit for all pairs.

Anything you can do to get us into the trade sooner will probably be very beneficial. Late entries seem to be the biggest shortcoming of trading the shorter tf's.

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!!

I hope this works out but Hostgator support seems to be staffed with high school students reading from a script.

My ftp account works perfectly (http://tommytech1.com/sntest/statement.htm) but the accounts I set up currently return a 'page not found error'. Hopefully the dns issue will fix that.

Hi Orion,

I am testing a method of getting in more quickly with QQE. It works, but is actually too reactive! I am working on a way to make sure it gets us in quickly, but without false signals.

So, it seems as though maybe just the default PSar settings will be fine to start.

Hi Supernova's.....

May be this tips can help who's trade manual using QQE....
Using 2 QQE's . Setting as below...

Pair : GJ /EJ/GU/UJ
Time Frame : 5M

QQE 1) SF : 30 RSI :14 DFactor :4.05
QQE 2) SF : 5 RSI :14 DFactor :4.05
MOMENTUM : 14
Open trade if QQE 1 & 2 & MOM agree.
Close position on QQE 2 crosses.

For me it's great method on all time frame. Currently i'm trade on LIVE based on above setting. At least end of the day you will catch 100++pips.

Lastly...trade for your own risk...

hello thanks for your assitance yestaday i took youe advice on entry on qqe alone and exit on the same parameter my ea has now taken a trade but i have a few questions is it not supposed to close that trade trade on next qqe crossing and at the same time take another trade in the opposite direction? Mine took a trade on the first qqe crossing and am still in the trade even after the qqe has crossed in the opposite direction am confused

Hi Codox,

Thanks for the information. I trade SuperNova manually and with the EA. I will take a look at this. We are currently ready to begin some group testing of the EA. I have a testbed that I run to evaluate methods that we might like to add to the EA in the future and I could include this test. If the signals look good, it would be easy to include parameters that would imitate this method. The great thing about QQE is that it is very versatile. It gives some of the most reliable signals I have seen from an indicator. Combined with other indicators such as Momentum, PSar, etc we are really encouraged about the success of automating SuperNova.

The problem is that you did not change the indicator's parameters to match the EA. SF should be 1 and you have it set to 5.

I'm running 1.7.beta5. Entry only on QQE, with a 2 candle Trailing PSAR. I'm using default values for the trailing PSAR. Exit only on QQE.

I've noticed on some currencies that the Trailing PSAR stop loss is not always 2 candles back from the current candle. For example:

GBP/YEN - 5 candles back
EUR/YEN - 3 candles back
NZD/YEN - 5 candles back, then jumps to 2

For GBP/USD that has shifted direction, where the PSAR is now opposite of entry, the PSAR trailing stop is 6 candles back.

Just thought you would want to know. Anything I should try?

I have asked Rick to verify a few of my settings for the testing program. Once he has had time to do so, I will be sending PM's to everyone that volunteered for testing. The PM's will contain detailed instructions on preparing the demo accounts and ftp publishing.

The way the trailing psar works is that it does it's evaluation of whether or not to move the stop based on the CandleTrailStopPSAR input. If you specify 2, then on every new candle it will look at the PSar high and low candles 2 candles back from the current candle to determine if the stop should change. If the conditions do not warrant a change, it will wait until the next candle and look 2 candles back. Since you may be long on a trade and the candle 2 back closed lower (the psar high > psar low), it would not make sense to move the stop. I hope this makes sense.
