you can also set the second psar false and just open with 1
less profit but less trades to

much safer, and you can test that on m30

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).

i dont rely on the back test much, as we advance so will the ea

over time as market conditions change, we learn to go with it

using 1 setting over a long period doesnt realy do any ea justice

what we need is maybe some professional analysis to go with it

lastnight i was tempted to give the m30 psar more room because i forseen this range

but i dont think itl be a wipe out

though if the range continues to long it could get scary

but for now im not changing anything yet

these backtest are very very unreliable

the real conditions in the market are very diferent

but they give u a ideah of how the bot trades

just making sure u ppl clear on that

even tick data is control points on m1 pretty much

there is no tick data

they shouldnt even call it that lol

the correct name would be, simulated ticks lol

I down loaded the template and ea from your site and all seems to be working well now. Handled the drawdown last night and is doing well. I will keep you updated. Thanks for all the hard work!

Forward testing results are impressive. Made a killing the past 24 hours with v2.

in tester the hedge lots function doesnt show as good results

i dont know why, iv done some visual test, and it is working correctly
the diference may be that with this feature false

the trades open 1 per tick spreading them out some


i do notice with many trades the trades take longer to close and results in more profit on my real account

since tester is unreliable, i dont know which is better

in the next version this will be false by default
the hedge now funtion will be gone
because its very dangerouse

if you dont disable the other entry features, youl have many trades you dont want

i tested it on my demo, even after undoing the setting the hedge continues until you remove ea or restart mt4

iv coded this ea to get stuck in a loop on pretty much every feature to insure we beat the trade context busy and requotes

the only problem wel have is when we hit that range that never stops

like the 1 that lasts a week or longer

heres the chart from real account

iv made 3 dollars lol

also i was thinking when i said minimum $500 account

the ea advances to 0.02 lots around $1800 areah

so really 900 would be the correct starting balance to not have extra dd than normal

so with my small account im overleveraged nearly 3 times

My original tests of Trenchasers super ea came out of dd caused by whipsaw with profit as i just checked this morning. On another hand few of the other EAs i was testing blew up or are very close to after last nights action.

Tc, is 0.1% equitygainpercent the optimal equity target or is it ok to set it higher? Hope i understand it correctly that its 0.1% and not 10%.

i did many many test to conclude that the risk and equity target are best

if you increase the gain % youl struggle to meet it
which will give a larger dd
and the profit increase is very little
if you increase the equity target the risk should also increase
i have optimised the balance of these 2 for the safest steady growth i could find

iv found settings that made 300% profit a day
but are very dangerouse

maybe if this ea is used as a tool, like only turn it on after a breakout, you can crank these settings up

but to run it 24 hrs i suggest you leave them be

the target is 0.1 %
not 10%

if you use this as a tool to catch a trend
turning risk to 1
gain % to 1
maybe even gain % 5
auto trade at cross false

the ea will open a trade every candle and make a ton on the move

but if this move backfires

you may lose 50% of the account realy fast lol

ok iv compared demo and live long enough, im doing something new on demo now

iv set all trade at cross features to false, this means while both psar agree, i get trade every bar

also on chart youl see where i tested the hedge now feature
it kept opening trades until i restarted mt4
free margin got down to 20% but ea still won
