Hallo Rick!

First I need to state that in the panicy days my beta5 was making a USD 1.900 USD surplus on a USD 2.900 account. The QQEA set to 3.5 DarF was really nimble!

I have a few extra ideas in store for you to add into the list of capital preservation project. But this has to wait now as we have enough work in front of us. But your approach there is really good (btw.: Whatever happened to point 6. of your list?).

I will read a bit here!
Ciao

Hi Matt,

That is great information! More nimble settings for exits are a really important aspect of this system. Along with the ability to exit using the indicators on timeframes other than the chart TF (your idea!). Give us a really wide range of approaches to both better exits and fast moving market scenarios. That is one of the reasons gave the new PSar entries and exits their own settings and the ability to use any bar including the current bar! This feature can be added to any of the indicators. As you know, that is part of the testing I am doing with highly reactive QQE.

Once we add in catastrophic SL's and position sizing based on ATR, plus equity protection, we will have a great deal of safety.

I look forward to hearing your other findings.

As to #6, I was really tired when I wrote that

Rick,

I sent this idea before but you missed i think...

Is there any way to get the exit criteria more than one?

I mean Exit when qqe AND mom moves against position...

not only qqe or not only mom.. both of them...

And also, is it possible:
For exits, we will have 3 criteria. If 2 of them met, than exit..
For example;
qqe is with our position
mom turned against our position
t3 turned our position;
than close our position....

If we are able to make multiple settings for exits, we will be able to stay in profitable trades and exit from losers quickly... By my visual backtests, i created many combinations. I hope, it is programmable...

Hallo Enes!

I guess it is well noted and also a good way to proceed. But Rick had stated earlier that after the changes that made beta6 nothing will be added until we have the formal testing of functions behind us or even after testing the basic settings for the core strategy.
After that we will both implement the advanced money management features and also further changes or additions as the ones you stated above.
I think it is a veritable idea that you brought in there and we will quite possibly get that into one of the later verisons - final version.

Thanks especially for the offer of your server a few days earlier - unfortunately I had so little time in the past few days that some points really slipped me!

Thanks for helping and see you soon!

Hey gang, we might of covered this before, but I could not find it.

How to we blow past Context Busy to keep trying to enter trade rather than wait until the next BAR would allow re-entry do that?

And if so will that re-enter if my exit criteria took me out?

It left some extra pips on the table last night due to not getting filled when order 1st went in.

Thanks

Thanks for all the good work this might have been discussed earlier but why does the EA take trades on the 3rd candle instead of the second candle after qqe cross

Set files - Just remember guys that the problem with this system and indicators is that you might optimize it for this months market conditions then loose it all next month because the indicators need to be optimized all the time for current market conditions Very time consuming and risky system.
Yes it is a very risky system - I would not recommend it to anyone wanting to make money. I have had horrible results with it. In fact, I am in the process of getting a lawsuit together to go after Cryten to see if I can recoup all of my losses.

Nothing can do about CONTEXT BUSY, its the broker's server that is busy. It may hang there forever, so just close/open MT4, and that shoul dfix your issue.

Ya right! Actually I talked to Cryten and he decided to settle out of court as he knew that I would win anyway. We settled for $4 billion. I thought it was the least he could do considering my pain and suffering.

I am sorry (no I am not) but after all the endless questions that Matrix asked about settings and God knows what to come back in here and say that our system was useless. Please just shoot me now! I don't suffer fools easily - it is a character flaw of mine.

Maybe you miss understood me. I didn't say the system was useless, I was just reiterating some earlier statements many pages back, that the indicators can be optimized for this week and next but then may need to be optimized again for when the market conditions change. I was just letting some of the newbies know or realize, if they didn't read the whole thread, that current set files are fine but will need to be adjusted later for future market conditions and that they are not the "Final" set files. That's why I said it is risky for newbies if they think they can just take the current set files and set and forget. They need to keep on top of it and optimizes when needed. I was in no way saying anything bad about the system, sorry if it came across that way. Maybe risky wasn't the right words to use.

Ok whatever - I don't want to escalate it further. I think everyone who has been around for the long haul knows what is going on here and what you are about. I will just drop it.

NOFX I gotta hit the sack if I wanna be up for london. See u and Matt in a little while.

ps Matrix NOFX trades the system as per my first post and makes more pips then a passion fruit tree.

The EA thing got a bit out of hand, "please add cci 10, lag 23, tobasco sauce" instead of focusing on finding better ways to preserve profit as a human mind would with discretion. I'm happy to see the old team as well as rick (rymers) getting back on track and implementing money management features (that's the really important stuff)

anyway thought I'd drop in lol
