SET files almost ready for release. Definitely within the next 12-24 hours.

There are currently 12 SET files for three currency pairs and 15 testers. Assuming all 15 participapte, we could sure use more testers to enable testing same set files in different tf's.

Dear all masters and seniors,

I downloaded the EA from this thread: http://forexfactory.com/showthread.php?t=44216&page=299

After compiling and left my computer overnight, nothing happened.

Does anyone have idea on to why the EA is not working?

Could that be just me or my system setting :?


Thanks!

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...
Hi Enes,

Yes, I agree that having the option to do the exits using either multiple criteria or as first one to signal is a good idea. It will not be a lot of work, but I need to prioritize the new features and run them by the group. My belief is that the addition of improved money management and capital preservation is the most important. No system will be successful in the long run without these. After that, I will do your suggestion.

We could double or triple the number of tests if each tester had an additional one or two extra installs of MT4 on their system.

I have a live and three demos going this minute - it's getting a tad confusing - but could likely manage a couple more if people think this is a way to go.

What say others?

Due to the limited amount of testers, Rick and I think it is best to use the 1H TF for the first week. Testers...please PM me with your email address so I can send your SET file.

Hi FxTradera,

The first week will be a shakeout week where everybody gets used to the publishing, new volunters get the kinks worked out of their setups and we deal with all of the unforeseens likely to crop up during the first week. After that it gets more exciting

We will be testing many more timeframes. I am putting together a 4 week testing plan that will have us running parallel tests on TF's from M5 up to H4) to assess profitability across timeframes. But many testers have probably not used multiple MT4 instances and we will need to co-ordinate this level of testing with Orion so that we have a useful way of publishing results.

Finally, I am building a custom indicator for us that will show statistics in realtime rather than having us cull the data from the order list. As we increase the complexity of the tests, this will help a lot. We should be able to easily see what settings offer the most optimal risk/reward ratios.

I haven't received the additional numbers from you so I can run multiple tests on different platforms. You can put me down for Three.

Hi Rick

I hear you. It sounds like a well coordinated plan and you have things mapped out.

One further question. Is there a latest template that shows all the indicators and correct values or will we need to alter our own templates in line with our own preset files? Do you want to upload one that we should all use and customise if necessary to match our preset files?

Reason I ask is I've seen a couple of flavours of templates and my own is from 1.4. Just so we're all looking at the same thing, in effect...

I have been sending out set files regularly and it looks like we will be ready for week1 testing. Several people have offered to run additional platforms for additional set files and that is terrific! At present there are only 12 set files and we are going to be using one tf (1H) but I have made a note of the additional platforms offered and we may very well need them in the future.

Rick has been very busy setting up the testing parameters so I am trying to help by coordinating the assignment of test files. If anyone has any questions about the process, please email me and I will try to help.

For one reason or another, not everyone that signed up as a tester has requested a set file. I am assigning set files as they are requested but only one per tester so everyone has a chance to participate. If there are additional set files left on Sunday morning, I will go ahead and assign them to the folks that have offered additional platforms for testing.

In closing, I want to thank everyone for their enthusiasm and willingness to participate in this project. Rick is a very talented programmer and his ideas for money management give us a very good chance at making Supernova a consistent winner.

Hi Rick!

This is another amazingly cool thing you come up with. Like the magic wand fortesting forward. I have been sitting over results to get them together hours and hours in the past and had excel-sheet the size of a bed in the end. Thanks for this and all the rest! Wow!!

Ciao

edit: I am completely with you on the testing plan. At some point the old findings will come in handy I think, but first let us see how everything works out.

Good point there FXTradera - I have seen few people having the LaGuerre from Imran on their charts so far and we need to make sure that the indicator settings are all the same to start with and match the EA settings. Guess it would spare us a few surprises in the long run.

Hi FxTradera,

The first week everyone has just QQE and one other indicator, so you just need 2 indicators matching the inputs.

Hi Matt,

Yes, the first week will be a bit dull, but we must walk before we run

I am putting together a detailed plan and will send it out over the weekend, so that everyone knows where we are going. The way I am planning it gives us some time to find baseline data and also any bugs in the individual indicators. This also gives me the first 2 weeks to code the money/risk management. By the third week, we will turn on the MM/RM and start to have some fun. The MM really will make a difference on the longer TF's. I have had my testbed running on H4 and it has had a really good week with the more reactive QQE. MM should make it even better.

Week 4 gets even better as we will be taking our discoveries from weeks 1-3 and testing combinations of the best indicators together. After that, we may then add in the shorter TF exits and taking trades only in the direction of higher TF trend.

I will give more detail later, but that is the plan in a nutshell.
