Simplicity is the Key

I close all my trades now. my Report Coming UP....

Just got in, closing mine now. back soon.

NF Delight 937 pips $874.11 29% increase to $3000 initial deposit
IB Delight 818 pips $750.80 25%
NFUltimate 750 pips $720.00 24%
IB Ultimate 681 pips $626.92 21%

Target of 600 pips a week was achieve by all 4 accounts. Perhaps we could raise the % increase to around 30%. I am looking hard at RS suggestion of suspending the EA at London close until Japan open. That i think is the best solution to increase profitability. I will make a real good review of that. Taking into consideration MPP concern of not losing the knowledge base of the EA. Suspending EA doesnt mean closing all the trades, meaning will not take any trade during that time but trades before suspension will be alllowed to continue. Timing here shoud be perhaps 13:00 NY time and hour after London Close and Resume at around 7:30PM NY Time, 30 min before Japan open. Opinion..

MIG Ultimate +714pips,
MT4 Delight +898pips

Balance now over $6000 so will be trading 0.2 lots next week. lets see how this compounds then.

Yes , you can trade 0.2 lot now that is double the income now.

Change of plan, we need to see single results i think, i can compound the trades later when the real money is in the game, for now it's about performance and testing. still need to extend the closing date.

If you have watched the just finished NFP new report , there was quick move but not much very typical. I have this new EA develop 2 weeks ago, no name yet and eventually will be incorporate to the Ultimate. This little program is designed for big news. I have been waiting to test it to NFP which i did have a chance today. The results were amazing. It made 250 pips just now. I attached this the the 14 curr i am trading since last night to give it a good feel of the data prior to the 8:30 Am NFP news. My theory has been proven right once again, we do not have to fear any news report. Have we let our Delight or Ultimate run we easily pocketed and extra 200 pips. I am excited to share this to you after i finalized everything.

right i didnt close mine and banked some pips

Ohh.. I will be issuing revision3 to Delight and Ultimate. Watch for it. It will be attached to the first page of this thread..Have a nice week end everyone.

Attached to First page of this thread. All update will always be in the first page from now on, make it easy to find.

MPP,
I guess I know where the problem is.
When you look at the rows you will recognize, that row O is missing, its hidden. So please make it unhide by marking row N-P and than go to Format, Row, "unhidden", in German "einblenden", sorry have a German Excel.
That should solve the problem.

Please everyone who attended this test (exact same time period) can you report your results?

I will let my trades run until all markets are closed.
Just to make a comparison i will let ultimate running all trades
during the weekend and will close all delight trades at the end of
today.

Until now delight produced 985 pips and ultimate 1147.
I´m also testing best that produced 690 pips .
All are running at activtrades with 14 pairs, started sunday before market opens.

Let´s see how it handles until market close. I will post my results later.

Hi Trader101,
great result so far, congratulations!

What are the differences in the upgraded EA's?
Would be nice to know.
Are you going to test vers. 2 and vers. 3 parallel in order to compare them?

What happens, when the EA's expire? Do you plan to make them still available for free?
Or are you going to sell a service to use them?

Have a great weekend.

Antomi

Results for this week (28-04 to 02-05) 5 days are attached
in detailed statements.
I´ve tried to paste to the excel doc. that trader posted but
it gives error or wrong calculation. maybe because i´m testing
with 0.01 lots.
Trader can you give a try and see if you can make it right?
Just let me know what i´m doing wrong.

Both Ultimate and Delight were running at +1,200 levels, at around NOON time EDT. This phenomena is usual as most of you have noticed. Am personally tempted to bank the peak gain for the day.

T101 - if close all positions at seemingly near-peak time (or at some set $$$) and cut off EA, and re-activate EA b4 Asian session, do this every day, what would be the overall results, based on the logic?

10th day: @ 11 am EDT 2nd May:
- Ult: $10,671 $10,671 $0
- Del: 10,595 10,595 0
- Best: 9,335 9,335 0

Ultimate/Delight equity once hit around $10,950 at around 10 am. When to close by observation is not easy. Would be nice if EA had an option to bank certain $$$ or % of equity and after suspension start b4 Asian session, so that EA accumulates the gains. Feel accumulation is what we need, looking back the equity curve of the past two weeks.

Have a nice weekend.

Cheers, RS

PS: Will report only the end-of-week figures, not day by day, for the next two weeks based on v.3 as I will be on vacation.

Revision3 Changes
1. I increase the slippage value because of several missed trades.. my estimate is around 10 winning trades.
2. Extended the period to 5-17-08
3. Added a redundant line to doubly sure that it will continue trading even if it slips.

We will be using the ver3 next week and discard your rev2 and make sure it is the one attached to your chart.
See you next week.

Fantastic efforts T101.

Look forward also to next weeks results and testing.

Pairs: AU, EA, ECAD, ECHF, EG,EJ, EU, GCHF, GJ, GU, NU, UCAD, UCHF, UJ
Open Trades were left over previous weekend.
All trades closed 5/2.
Results this week: -548 pips
Accumulated Results (last two weeks): +364 pips
A bit of analysis:
Trades carried from previous week: -401 pips
Trades closed the 2/5: -362 pips (am I right that trades were not managed by the EA any longer? since when?
Rest of trades: AU 145, EA -183, ECAD -242, ECHF -61, EG 16, EJ 147, EU -147, GCHF 148, GJ 148, GU 202, NU 60, UCAD 123, UCHF -167, UJ 26
I compared this with Trader101 data and on the same basis (i.e. neither carried trades from previous week neither trades closed 5/2) and the differences come substantially from the pairs traded. Trader101 include AudJpy 101 pips and I have instead EA -183 pips and ECAD -242 pips. Only this explains already 526 pips difference.
My conclusion is that leaving the trades open over the weekend may have a negative impact; track pairs EAUD and ECAD (also EU and UCHF) to see if this week´s negative results continue; and obviousy that expiration of the Utimate EA in the middle of the trading has an negative impact.
