Is This My Holy Grail EA :D

This is the results of two days trading pennies. So this is live trading monday and tuesday. I have turned it off for now and will turn it back on after the 11 am news story. I am glad I turned it off since there was a big move at 430 and it wiped out the demo account I was testing on. You will also see a dip. That was a trade i closed that looked like it was heading for trouble.

Anyway that is 34.00 in profit on 400 dollar account about 8.5% in 36 hours. Some guy will come online line later and laugh at this but doing penny trading until something is proven is better than a demo trade and you are not risking large sums of money. I really think that with Martingale systems .01 to .10 trades can make a nice income if you handle them right and you have enough funds in your account.

The reason the sto ea 2 is working better is it doesnt enter until price comes down from its peak. Instead of enter when price gets greater than 97 on the sto. It enters when sto goes above 97 and then goes below 97. This helps in not getting stuck on a fast moving news story for hundreds of pips in a hole. Not a perfect solution but it does work better.

Thanks Bob!

Maybe that lines i need change to be equal to EA_2 ?

THIS ?
--------------
if (PreviousOpenOrders>OpenOrders)
{
for(cnt=OrdersTotal()-1;cnt>=0;cnt--)
{
if (OrderSelect(cnt, SELECT_BY_POS, MODE_TRADES))
{
mode=OrderType();
if ((OrderSymbol()==Symbol() && OrderMagicNumber() == MagicNumber) || AllSymbolsProtect)
{
if (mode==OP_BUY || mode==OP_SELL)
{
OrderClose(OrderTicket(),OrderLots(),OrderClosePrice(),slippage,ArrowsColor);
return(0);
}
}
}
}
for(cnt=0;cnt<OrdersTotal();cnt++)
{
if (OrderSelect(cnt, SELECT_BY_POS, MODE_TRADES))
{
mode=OrderType();
if ((OrderSymbol()==Symbol() && OrderMagicNumber() == MagicNumber) || AllSymbolsProtect)
{
if (mode==OP_SELLLIMIT || mode==OP_BUYLIMIT || mode==OP_BUYSTOP || mode==OP_SELLSTOP)
{
OrderDelete(OrderTicket());
return(0);

OR MAYBE THIS THIS:
--------------------------------
//Sell order
// if(previousstoch>H_level && currentstoch<H_level)
if(stoch<H_level && stoch1>H_level && stoch2>H_level)

{
myOrderType=1;
}

//buy order
// if(previousstoch<L_level && currentstoch>L_level)
if(stoch>L_level && stoch1<L_level && stoch2<L_level)

{
myOrderType=2;

The second section is your logic. The numbers to change is at the top of the program. I think it is set on 14 3 3 Those are the numbers you can change for the sto. The program also allows you to change to which chart, like 30M 60M 240M=4h. It also has lots of other things. Feel free to ask questions if you need something explained.

If I have read it good, then your testing this system on a live account?
That's nice do you do it often with those small amounts?

I only test a Martingale or any system with small amounts. Most people do not understand exponential trading instead of multiplication trading. You can use Martingale system using pennies and a company like InterbankFX which allows you to do that. Some companies change the pennies to dimes when you get to a certain amount in your account so you need to be careful. I have found that using martingale systems and being extremely conservative works. I attached my last live trading account. Notice the two dips in the line. Twice I had to go in and close a trade that was looking bad. Once it was the right decision and once it was a wrong decision.

Hi Bob,

Sorry, i will try again

You noted that sometimes the order are closed in negative? This so noticed when Stoch gives information that prices will go in the other direction.

I prefer to leave myself decide when I will close, like u do.

Excuse me, my first language is Portuguese.

I think I understand your question. When I manually close positions so it wont open another position in the same currency, you can do two things. Turn off the EA and then close positions or close the currency screen and then close postions. The second way is better if you are doing several currencies and you no longer want to use that currency for the day. Good luck and let me know how using the 15M works. I like the 14,3,3 with the 30M but have never demoed using the 15M. Does it give you more successful trades per day??

There is a third way too. You can go to the upper right hand corner of the screen on the smiley face, right click on it and turn off the EA to that currency screen.

Thanks for the tips!

Yes, the 15M is working good. I will try with 30M to see if it is more successful. I like this EA for a lot of reasons, at first i donīt like the close orders at friday, but now i like. At demo i make 10% in one week. to me, itīs a excelent result.

Thanks again for the help.

You might be doing this with pennies, but you wouldn't dare trade it with pounds.

If you are using the program that you can get into the program, you can change the trade on Friday from false to true if you want. Then you can trade on Fridays. This last Friday I traded after the news and pick up some more profit on the EUR/JPY. I got out at 3Pm EST

Yes, true. But the program that allow i get into it, donīt works fine like the other, i donīt know why. I try to change others settings like to M30, M15, Stoch H: 85 L: 15, but no big changes. That Version #2 opens more orders.

Can u share the settings that r u using? maybe i find something..

And I almost sold the house to fund yet another EA account...

To be honest I only dowloaded it and test it in my testing platform, have not yet looked at it closely.

If you properly study the backtesting you will see the death trade happens during some news story which carries the trade beyond what a Martingale system can do. I stay out of the Market from 3am to 11am EST to avoid the news stories which cause the big drop or death trade. The second thing you do is do not keep the money in the account and let it build waiting for the death trade to take it. Every week cut yourself a check and soon you are playing with free money. The Martingale system can work if you know how to use it and understand it.

The third thing you do is use penny trades. You make money but you are not risking the house.
