Hello all,

Just wondering if there might be QQE indicator which may give the sound alert if they cross each other? (Not if they cross the 50 line)...

Thanks

Quoting Enes
System is working very well for me today... It worked today as "money making machine"

I am running it on g/j , e/j , g/u , g/chf..

You can see screenshot of today's results..

--

The only problem i have is about exits...

QQE and T3 is enabled for exit on gbp/jpy... Few minutes ago, EA closed a long position on this pair. No problem, it is in profit... But there is not a QQE sell signal on chart... Why it closed the position? I dont know... Do you have any ideas?

See charts..

Hi FxTradera,

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

Rick

Not referring to your comments above, Rick, but your boundless energy and time and effort and skills and just good sense are remarkable and a priceless asset. I really do appreciate your efforts and those of others who constantly contribute in such a positive manner.

And now referring to the above, I will maintain my template with other indicators on and I encourage others too, if we're in agreement. The reason is that while we're watching our own system, and making notes of the positive and negative aspects, we'll also be at least glancing at the other indicators and may just see some other combo or one of the other indicators that might just enhance the entry/exits.

Keep up the great work people. Eyes peeled. Exciting times ahead!

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.

Rick
Rick I agree this would be a good added feature down the road as I have noticed the DMI can be a good filter to avoid a premature close (false signal) during a big move. ie this last big move up on the GPY QQE signaled exit at 211.69 and it went another 230 pips higher (213.90) than DMI agreed at 212.60. PSAR Trailer on that would of took it out at 212.85 so an extra 116 pips. not to be greedy on top of the 328 pips from the 1st two signals but hey a pip is a pip. LOL

Thanks for all you hard work on this system. I wish I had 1/10th the talent you do on programming. At times I'm sure a lot of us on this thread feel guilty and helpless. I assure you I will be donating to the Supernova Fund from my profits.

Thanks again to you and all the programmers involved over time.

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.

Rick
Hallo Rick!

Just before hitting the Autobahn, the famous public racetrack in Germany : Very good! I am awaiting the plan and will get to you soon with the MOM and DMI settings already found for the pairs and their optimal timeframes. Now my weekend business starts and I hope to find a few minutes and a connection to drop in here!

Ciao and many thanks!
Matt

Rick, how many times will the EA attempt to get an order filled upon a signal during that bar?

I posted earlier a question regarding "Context Busy" in my expert comments right when a sell or buy order is triggered and the order does not fill due to ?? I am guessing a requote due to market moving...yes?

So would I need to up my slippage to insure a fill? as it seems to wait a whole bar to try again up to the max cross I have set of 5 and usually it kicks in 2-3 bars later after 50 pips went by.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Here you are.

Use QQEA so that you can see the cross visually as well.

I've tracked this thread for awhile and want to say I appreciate being introduced to the QQE , Supernova and the related manual system. I've learning a lot from everyones posts.

I'm wondering if anyone has seen a version of the QQE indicator that 1.) displays as a histogram, and, 2.) has the settings function to allow display of the indicator on a specified chart time. For example; to be able to view the SF5 / 1H indicator performance though installed on a 5M chart. One of the many versions of the QQE indicator listed on this thread appears to have this ability in the settings but when I tried it it didn't work.

I'm no coding wizard but have tried to manually set the chart time in the QQE, to replace the '0' in the iMa parameters but can't get it to work.

Any assistance will be appreciated.

Hi Supernova Testers,

I just finished the first version of the data mining indicator I promised. The formatting is still a bit rough, but I will pretty it up when I have some time

This indicator returns the overall performance of each SuperNova instance on a per chart basis. For example, if you are running SuperNova on the H1 TF, it will show, for all closed orders, the number of winners, losers, breakevens, total trades, and profit/loss. It also breaks them down by Asian, London, US, and dead zone so that you can see how the pair behaves when trades are opened in the various sessions. In addition to SuperNova, by pair/TF, I have included a parameter that performs the same analysis on all closed orders. I will expand this function in further versions to more specific SuperNova functionality. Also, as we find we need more types of data, I will take advice from the community as to what would be useful to add.

This indicator should make determining if settings per pair per TF are working or not without having to cull through all the closed orders. Those who trade on the 5 minute should relly like this indicator.

Here are the inputs:
"Filter Criteria";
"0 - All Trades";
"1 - All SuperNova Trades By Chart Symbol And Timeframe";
"2 - All SuperNova Trades By Chart Symbol(Not Yet Implemented)";
"3 - All SuperNova Trades(Not Yet Implemented)";
StatMethod = 1;
"Forex Session Start Times";
"This Is Platform Specific By Broker";
AsianStart = 0;
LondonStart = 8;
USStart = 13;
DeadZoneStart = 17;

The StatMethod input defaults to 1, which does the analysis of the closed orders for the current chart by symbol and TF. Choosing 0 does the analysis for all closed orders. The session inputs correspond to the start hours as defined by your brokers chart time. For IBFX, this is GMT, but other brokers vary their platforms. Your broker's website may have the necessary information to set these times.

Let me know if there are any bugs and I hope the indicator is useful to you.

Rick

Disregard this one. Use the 1.1 in the next few posts.

Hi SuperNova Testers,

Here is the proposed test plan starting January 27, 2008:

Week 1
Each tester will run tests on the 3 specified pairs for just the H1 TF. Our goals this week are:
1. Get used to the testing methods including publishing to Orion's FTP site. Some testers are new to SuperNova and we will probably have a few teething pains as we get up to speed.
2. Debug the individual indicators. We need to make sure before we begin the more complex tests that we find if all the indicators are working as expected.
3. Get to know the indicators better. I encourage experimentation using instances of the platform other than the published instance. Let the published instance run Out Of The Box settings, but experiment as much as you can. This will come in ahndy during week 2.

Week 1 has no moneymanagement and is not expected to be profitable (though some tests maybe). We are really looking to get ready for week 2 and will have to a dull first week.

Week 2:
During week 2 we will take the pairs from week 1 and expand the tests to many more TF's. The SuperNovaStats indicator I posted should prove useful for determining how your indicators are performing on a per pair per TF basis. In addition, we may include tests of setting from your week 1 experiments.

Again, we are really determining how each individual indicator performs so that we can get an idea of the ones that seem to provide the best entry and/or exit performance. Profitability would be nice, but given that we will be running on some small TFs using indicators as our only exit mechanism it could be negative, as well. Smaller TF's lend themselves to fixed TP levels, though LaGuerre shows promise on the smaller TF's. Our tests will show what is working and not working.

Week 3:
Now it gets interesting. Part of the reason for the first 2 weeks is to give me time to implement the Risk and Money Management. Week 3 is when we add that back in. We should have pyramiding, scaling in/out, ATR based position sizing, as well as the excellent PSar trailing stop. These functions are what make any system optimally safe and profitable. As I have stated before, a system can lose more than 50% of its trades (and many successful systems do), but still be profitable bacause of sound Risk and Money Management. We will let our winners run and cut our losers short.

Week 4:
Time for SuperNova. We will finally take the best prospects from the indicators, Timeframes and setting and combine them into various combinations. This is true SuperNova. We will divide the combinations among the tester to see what works in the end. We will use Risk and Money management, as well.

Week 5:
The last week is optional. After we see what combinations work best, we can try using the more esoteric settings like only following the daily trend, alternate exit TF's etc.

Hopefully by this point we have an EA we feel comfortable using live.

Thanks to all of you. It is a pleasure to be part of this group.

Hallo Rick!

Thanks for this materpiece - the next one in fact! I am back and I saw that I have the Laguerre back at my heals, hehehe!! My favourite plaything ...

My question is: Do I need them Imran (Crossing over) Laguerre or the two instances that are on the template in the first post? Please let me know, and if you have it "handy", please post the Imran LaG in the version you want it to be!

Thanks and well the weekend - was good and stressy at the same time! :

Greetz!
