trendchaser super ea

my first priority is to be satisfied with how the ea trades
after that il focus on other brokers

just use demo for now
theres no rush to lose money
im sure il have to change some things when i start trying other brokers

So I checked my MIG accounts :
no trade on 30M TF
no trade on 1H TF
4 trades on 5M TF very early in the morning then nothing more

I opened a IBFX demo acc to check the differences... trades opened on ibfx are not opened on MIG, here it is, the EA does not work on MIG.
It's sad cause MIG has very interesting spreads (much more than IBFX !!!) and the MT4 platform is more practical...
you guys should give a look there http://www.migfx.ch/no_cache/fr/home/index.html

Did anyone managed to modify and run this EA for MIG ?

:surprised wow... TC you're moving very fast. i'm a bit confused (really.. it's just a bit ) but i think we all like it though.

i'm still demoing v8. yep I know you've mentioned the bug in v8. but i wanna keep it running till the end of the week (while watching the latest versions pop up rapidly ).

growing $5000 to $5630 with v8 within 2 trading days last week. umm... actually the biggest result was because i let 2 short positions opened from last week, then shut down my machine for the whole weekend and just started again very late in monday (today).

fortunately it gave me >500 pips. unfortunately it was demo . yeah, i know it might go the other way.

so, what's the latest "full automatic" trendchaser version today?

just goes to show how demo is just as unreliable as the tester
iv witnessed bars that were hundreds of pips long that dont exist

i cant find these in history now, i guess they correct it after some time

but iv seen them there in real time

demo sucks, missing data, extra data

but no worries
im trading real account n il continue to keep posting the facts everyday
Hi , better to backtest and fwd demo it on more mt4 brokers/data providers.

Man I wish I could easily port mq4 into e.g. matlab ...

Hey TC....

Congrats on the progress you are making with your EA....nice work.

Several weeks ago, I remember you made a comment about optimal psar settings for GJ. Just curious if you had done any more research on different pairs/tf's.

Hi TC,

Well I am using the V15 EA on FXDD live on my micro acct...... since last nite it is up from $380 to a current $466... using default settings... I changed lot size at some point from .01 to .02... I am very impressed!

I know you said don't use FXDD and don't go live yet... but I had such good results on demo I took the risk..... the risk is my own of course having been warned already.... but I really like this EA and I think you are on to something here....

the only thing I have noticed is that on a good trend it tends to close a trade after 5 pips or so and then reopen another and on and on... which works but if it held a good position longer it could mean more profit as opening and closing and then reopening I have to pay a 8pip spread each time.... is there a parameter to have a bigger target than 5 pips? I think it is probably due to my small acct size that it closes quickly...

anyway, cheers and thanks for your hard work

hey myke
fxdd calculates lots diferent
so your risking more
and that also adds to very close targets
on ibfx hitting target around 20 pips is the normal

symbol target is the setting you want
maybe 4x it

that is the same problem I guess on MIG. Even if the EA doesn't manage to open trades on MIG, when I put a manual trade the EA closes the winning trades at 3 or 4 pips...
  • #732
  • Mar 18, 2008 3:12am Mar 18, 2008 3:12am
the ea closes based on profit %
the target is 0.1%
so if equity exceeds balance by 0.1%
the trade is closed

the ea isnt opening trades because a issue with the broker
most likely the broker calculates lots diferently
and the ea is trying to open orders with invalid lot size

in the later versions iv done away with a few settings
such as
dis_mm_if_lots_under
minimum_lots_allowed

these settings are now just lots

if your brokers minimum lot size is 0.1

then set lots to 0.1

mm_calculation is there to make other brokers compatible

default is 10,000

other compatible settings iv found are 100,000 and 5,000

to test the setting, the trade should hit target at bout 20 pips profit
trades the ea opened, not manual trades

depending on lot size, the target changes

strategy tester is garbage
complete fucking garbage

im not testing anymore

the test i posted the other day
i cant even reproduce them

i dont know whats what

hell i cant even run a tick test now

mt4 update screwed me all up
  • #735
  • Mar 18, 2008 5:46am Mar 18, 2008 5:46am
latest version 16

i finally fixed the bug that the ea would add a trade if mt4 was restarted
or if ea was reset
including switching tf would add a trade

that shouldnt happen any more

i couldnt test these set files

the set file named - h1 martingale, is the v13 set file
h1 default- is default, i put it there so youd know that default runs on h1

theres m5 original
m5 with pivot

h1 martingale showed the safest results over the long run
default is the same, but martingale disabled
this also showed safe over the long run, but profits are low
i figure adding trades will greatly increase the profits though

original didnt pass the test
but its agressive n i can tell alot of you like that
just dont let that run un monitored

i wasnt able to retest these set files
but they should be the same

OK
with this new release I ran 2 MIG accounts on 5M TF, one with 5000 as mmcalculation and the other one 10000 (original set). Both use m5 original set and 0.1 lot. Each account took a trade...

You said the average win should be around 20 pips but wat should be the average pips loss ?
  • #740
  • Mar 18, 2008 7:42am Mar 18, 2008 7:42am
by default the loss is set at -45%
everything is in %

since ur forced to be much higher than normal
you hit the target really soon
so you could also lose alot sooner to

on ibfx 0.1 lots is suitable with a 10k balance

i dont know about mig?
