Yeah a trading room would be an awesome idea;so threaders or subscribers would share similar or different ideas n keep up with the latest.
Why? Cos if a thread is getting so long it will b rather cumbersome for newbies to join the thread.This doesn't necessarily mean this thread would terminate or halt....
My lil view too.

Being a tester, I really don't think a trading room is a good idea for a good while at least.

If you've read the last few pages you'll see that there's some heavy testing and analysis going on and there are many flavours of indicators that simply don't work and many that work one week or one day but definitely not the next. There is still much to do from people who have committed to this testing to even identify something that looks near consistent. And then there's Rick - well overworked and fielding questions that distract him from the target. We believe it's there - it just needs to be flushed out by coordinated planning and careful testing.

There's too much noise as it is on the thread, punctuated by at least the occasional fine distraction from TC - loved the last post on the 5 yr pin bar - that any room would likely be occupied by many people who didn't understand the system , don't have the time to understand, asked too many questions and many who had found something that had worked for five minutes and proclaimed the Holy Grail. While the intent is good, it just doesn't happen. At least with the thread, it makes you think before you post.

Many of the testers have other jobs and wouldn't look in on the room. I understand what you're looking for, and the frustrations of the format of the thread, but that's the way the land lies right now.

Someone started one a while back. I think there is a link to it in Qpips journal. I don't know if they are using it or not, but the people that started it were trying to get others involved. Here's a link: http://forexevent.com/

Hi All,

Here is beta 8. Could you please replace your beta 7's with beta 8 and restart the accounts. This has the PSAR fix, but also the new magic number code that you will need to make sure the EA uniquely identifies the symbol/ TF pair as the default autogeneration of magic numbers does not support this.

My fault for not letting Orion know about this release in time. I'll blame it on the flu

The first day is really about debugging and getting to know reactivity which is a 2 edged sword. Reactivity gets us into and out of trades much more quickly, but at the expense of potential false signals caused by momentary crosses that penetrate the signal lines, but don't fully commit. That is why I have put in several filtering mechanisms. I have one more mechanism ( a channel deadband), but if these simpler methods prove sufficient, we will be fine. Also, after we finish with debugging, we will add a few tests to compare the reactive with non-reactive. That should be really insightful.

If I can get a good head of steam, we can start the MM/RM next week.

Rick

P.S. Remember to use SuperNovaStats v1.2. Next version will save the weekly data in CSV format.

Hallo Rick!

Thanks for the newest update! I just thought I look in here before jumping into bed. Seemed to have been a good idea

Hope you will get better soon!
Good Night!

Yes that is correct but I will check with Rick to see if he wants to use ReactiveQQE for charts 8 and 9.

Ok done but to confirm the 2nd chart is reactive entry yes and not reactive QQE yes correct?

I'm going to take a nap before London open but if I find out about QQEReactive settings, I will post. I am also curious if we are supposed to be using the "User Comment" parameter.

BTW, I see most of the testers are already set up...way to go guys (gals). You folks are becoming pro's at this

A Trading room, very carefully controlled, with VERY strict rules, would be fantastic. Keep product development and talent on this tread but a new seperate trading room is desperately needed. Pipsnipers is charging $300+/mo. which will scare many and is often tiring to listen to. You have people who are = to or even better than some of them. Maybe, charge a very minimal fee to cover cost & monitors and get 1000 members. $25-$50/mo. gets them audio/visual access but do not provide a chat board. If inexpensive you can get them easily. You have a great group of talent and could do it well which may lead to other things.

You are completely right about the above and I can only warn against diversification. We had tht discussion several months ago, when a spin off for the manual traders was discussed. As both sides can learn from each other it does not make sense to me and I have enough to do already, so I do not need another thread to remember.

Thanks for pointing this out FXTradera and no harm meant!

Hallo Rome!

Thanks for the compliment for the group and in a way you are right. I will have a look into that room, but Hakuna Matata is a scalping hero and so they have the possibility to have really entertaining trading going on.
So, for the sake of this thread we should keep it as this now and go on doing good work. I guess almost everyone is going to be happy to have something making money in the end.

Have a good day!
Ciao!

Hallo Orion and Wolfster!

I just looked through the nice footer of Orion and skimmed through the sntests. Wolfy has a EURGBP trade open ... just in case I got something wrong:

1. Same setfile again!
2. EURJPY on 1H chart seven times
3. Deviations for each 1H (apart from the first) as described here

All the other currencies are out of the race at this point, right?

Have a good week!

Hi Faliowino,

It looks like you are using the reactive settings. On short timeframes especailly the downsode of reactivity is that you can get bar 0 crosses of the QQE lines that immediately retreat back to trend. That is why I included several filters to test that help to reduce false signals. I am also working on a deadband channel that seems to filter out almost all bad signals. I will hopefully include it soon, but I need to get MM done first.

You will also find several new filter types which can be combined with both reactive and non-reactive modes. These other filters guard aginst getting bad fills from spikes way above trend that cause the indis to signal after a big move that is retracing. These help make the fills much better. Using these also make the non-reactives perform better.

Hi Supernovae,

I apologize for not being around much recently. I have had the flu plus have spent all lucid moments trying to get these new features out especially the new MM/RM. I'm hoping to get most of it done by tomorrow.

Some people have had a hard time getting used to the new settings and that is my fault. When we are feature complete, I will write a doc of all the features and how they work together. I just don't have time now. So please forgive me if I'm not too responsive. I'm giving it all I have.
