Hi TC!

First of all thanks for sharing this wonderful EA, it's a jewel of complexity... You're a very nice developer!
Second, do I understand correctly that the EA is only meant for "semi-manual" use? I'm trying to backtest the 5mn settings on V16, it works fine but sometimes crashes heavily, which means that I can't find settings that will "resist" with time, even when lowering the risk. With risk = 0.05 I still have a crash at least once every 2 or 3 months. How do you avoid those?
If I want it to run full auto, is there anything else I should do?

Good job, TC. Now, you can start fattening up that account. My
good old v9.1 is cranking along, like a well-oiled machine.

ok ok thanks a lot TC for this detailed explanation
I understand what you do with the manual trades I dowloaded the 2 scripts ...
The stuff now is to determine when we should change to 1H settings to be more efficient...

Quoting trendchaser
the system is very simple
all were using is 2 parabolic sar indicators
one on a higher tf
the higher tf is the trend direction
if its hit, thats where the hedges happen
the psar on lower tf is re-entries
when market goes crazy from news or whatever
like earlier, i just kept dragging the sell script to the chart getting all the entries i could
the ea stayed busy closing them as i kept hitting my targets
youl get requotes with the script, i probly got 1 entry per 3 tries average
when markets crazy like that i just keep trying
only diference in h1 settings is dif psar's on dif tf
very very simple
right now the trend is short, so if you add trades, add shorts
but i wont add on while were making higher highs n lows on m5 like now

yes but you should do that only it the opened trades are already in the trend..otherwise it d be to dangerous...no ?

another way to increase profit if your at ur pc when market goes crazy

turn off ea so it doesnt close at target

first time price stalls
turn on ea, itl close all at a much bigger target

  • Mar 19, 2008 12:52pm Mar 19, 2008 12:52pm
if you even think m30 might range, turn off ea

its best to sit on the sideline till u know

i dont think itl be a problem

exactly, if you have several trades and u see the ea if fixing to hit target, turn it off n let the profit run some

i did this and my target was tripple size in just a minute, i did this earlier today

just depends if ur watching n catch it

but its not dangerouse

nothings dangerouse unless you have like 50 or so trades open

if its under 10 trades ur definatly safe

TC

Thank you, thank you for your hard work. I'm planning to go live with $1000 on Monday. I was wondering at which setting should I have the EA run on M5? Which setting on H1?

I'm was running v9.1 on demo and excellent result. How will running v17 differ? And does v17 expire?

Thanks,
Jon
