trendchaser super ea

it will take me some time to figure out these diferent brokers

if you want to try this your self, heres a version of the ea with all the broker settings at the top for easy access

youl need to keep trying diferent settings in tester until you find the right settings, if you find correct settings please post them

1 trade needs to use a margin that equals 0.15% of balance

$1000 uses $1.5 margin, and is 0.03 lots

youl need to see what uses $1.50 margin per $1000

if your risk is off, you may not survive

one way to test is find just 1 day to test on ibfx mini, note the results, then on your broker tweak the settings untill you get simular results

default is ibfx mini, the auto broker was incase your not using ibfx mini, but obviously it isnt working, i removed that feature

Not sure why some people are having problems with IBFX using this EA. I just reinstalled latest version 2 on IBFX mini demo and it started trading right away. One thing i did per Tc's instructions is i turned Auto_broker_settings to false which i think should be done for IBFX minis only.

Market has been crappy this week and looks like right now I have double hedge open for longs and shorts. We'll how it will handle this once there is some movement.

its important to use a mini account, unless you use bout 5k

on a mini, mm kicks in around $500

but on normal the min is 0.1, youd need atleast 3k for the ea to do right

500 mini
3k norm

Hey TC, nice job What does Auto_Time_fame do?
Should I run the EA on M5?
24 hours in a day – 24 bottles of beer in a case – Coincidence? I think not

doesnt matter which tf, but to see the indy correctly, yes m5

  • Mar 4, 2008 5:44pm Mar 4, 2008 5:44pm
i havent tested the auto tf much, not sure if it makes a diference, if free margin goes below 50%, psar2 switches from m5 to h1, reducing trades

well error 148, maximum trades hit

testing whc i get this error
so if the broker sets a low trade limit, you cant run this ea with current settings

i guess its time i revise the code to use lots wrather than orders

I assume that your EA made a killing from 27 feb till march 3rd with fairly steady GJ decline. Its actually good to watch how it behaves thru choppy period as right now to see how it comes out of it.
  • #151
  • Mar 4, 2008 7:38pm Mar 4, 2008 7:38pm
concider this version ibfx only

over next few days il improve the ea to hedge lots instead of open orders, i wanted to do this anyway to have less orders to fill and close
  • #152
  • Mar 4, 2008 7:39pm Mar 4, 2008 7:39pm
yeah im also glad were in this range, this is a good test
in tester i seen up to 20% dd in the ranges, and them ranges lasted a long time

ok iv made the new version
the hedge is now done in one trade with correct lots

in tester this shows a few % less dd to

to use original
set hedge_lots false

hedge_lots will disable the other method automatically

the ea comes default with the new setting
no need to change anything

the ea should be started on a $500 mini minimum
im running the ea on a real account that started with $369

its gonna take me a little time to configure the ea with other brokers
so far iv tried 2
fxdd and whc
i discovered they have a small trade limit
so they are useless running any ea that opens many trades
such as a grid ea
i believe its our right to trade all we want if we have the money
so i see them as shit now
if i test a broker and get a trade limit error
i give up on them, sorry
i havent tried north finance yet

whc capped me off at bout 70 trades, i didnt take note of fxdd
but its somewhere close

during test iv seen this ea open up to about 300 trades
ibfx allowes 1000

tweak the broker settings, if your trading good in tester, then see a 148 error
youv opened maximum trades that broker allows

you can count the current open trades at the bottom of the results tab

if you set risk to 0

and a lot size

the ea will trade

youv disabled money management by doing that

  • Mar 5, 2008 12:36am Mar 5, 2008 12:36am
the problem with these brokers is this

whc took $5 margin for a 0.01 lot trade

ibfx takes $0.50 cents margin for the same trade

both say mini

whc mini is same as ibfx normal

why they both say mini i dont know

fact is, ibfx normal is realy mini

ibfx mini is realy micro

something like that

all these brokers are diferent
so it takes alot of testing n comparing to find the right money management

iv moved all the broker options to the top for quick access if you wanna figure it out

oh yeah theres a setting also called hedge plus
by default its 2

this is multiplier

if set to one youl get perfect hedge
2 double hedge
3 tripple hedge

you can use decimals like 1.25 ect

Thanks for your efforts in this EA.
Hope you succeed where many before you have failed.

Please find a somewhat crude test of your newest beta version.
The robot makes steady profits but the money management, growing lot sizes as the account balance grows, is too risky. Tone that down to 1/4 of what u have it now, i suggest.

The robot was trading up to 20 Lots in this short test! As you can see it blew the account. In fact every long term test ive done (using ibfxm) has blown the account (all versions to date).
