trendchaser super ea

Hi trendchaser, I'm not a huge ea guy to begin with but I did some testing on this and was getting great results until it opened a bunch of trades that hedged off with one another, and never closed them out. It just kept going, and going, and going, never closing any of the positions.
I tried digging through this thread for an answer but I didnt seem to find this issue posted anywhere. After messing with the settings I still cant seem to come to solid solution without it taking some hits.
What am I doing wrong here?
Thanks very much,

Hallo Billy Ray!

Guess it is on the GBPJPY, right? Same here, but the moves were so far not sufficient to get the EA to take profit either side. So I guess this is going to be a waiting game until either side may in the end make the targeted profit. There is nothing wrong with the EA at this stage and it may well work out during this week.
Could you tell us, which version of the Super EA you are using?

Have a good day!

Hi Gnat,

Glad you enjoyed it ... ... I've found that laughing at myself keeps a lot of things in perspective.

Looks like I've finally found my way to "throw all the switches" correctly. v.32 is now running on a demo account ... and running in the right direction ...

My thanks again to you for your help here. It was like swimming downstream and running into a log jam. Your input helped release the key log and we're flowing again!

Hey Pip Oarade!

Glad I could help! As you are on the Super EA's, please pay a visit to the v.9.2! I like that one best as it is more selective, safer and also takes profit by trailing the winning side!

See you laters!
Ciao!

Hi Gnat, thanks for the reply. I tried using 32 and 9.1, and I know we're not a big fan of backtesting, but this occurred on all occasions across all pairs I tested it on, including GBP/JPY. The spread PL between the trades was always very minimal (tiny loss, nothing to get excited over). If it just closed the trades all at once and kept on doing what it does it would have been fine. Also, it passed up many opportunities to close with profit, but it never closed the trades. Just kept on running.

I tried digging through this forum to search for an answer, but I think War and Peace is a quicker read . I feel there is something I am missing here in one of the settings. I made a long attempt to change what I could, but the issue kept on happening over and over again.

Again, it just gets "stuck" with these hedged trades, and never does anything to them; really not understanding here.

Any ideas? Many thanks,

Hi ya Gnat,

You think YOU'RE Glad .

Rolling right along with the Super EA's now. Had a good run (demo) the last 24 hours with v32 but crashed the platform. No worries. I've got v9.1 and v32 forward testing on 2 demo accounts (& 2 platforms) as we speak. It's to early to see any noticable differences in the results. I'll try to put v.9.2 in the mix as well. The 3 points you make are all good by me and coming from you carries clout in my book.

Will be sure to let you know how it goes. Until then ...

Hey Pip Parade!

I hope your extensive tests have been working fine. The EA seems to do well live also and today was quite stunning with the v.34.1! Some may have passed by that, but I am live with the v.9.2 & 34.1 and both have their merit. TC is quite a wizard when it comes to intuitive coding !!

Let's hear how you are doing!

I can confirm that 34.1 was awesome today...I am still in Demo with it...but I am going live as soon as I can get IBFX to open up another account for me.

hi am new here and i want to ask you if the 34.1 safer than 9.2 ? and do you use the default settings for 34.1 or you made your own settings ?
  • #1,591
  • May 9, 2008 10:32pm May 9, 2008 10:32pm
of the super EA's that I have tested...v9.1...v32...and v34.1....34.1 is the most robust...and all of them have very low DD....like I do not remember ever seeing more the 3% DD. But it is best not to trade them at all during NFP week...and you can switch to M5 at the London open and back to H1 at noon est time during the other 3 weeks of trading..

Hallo ES!

LOL, I am trying to make the everage text size "2" again, by typing really small letters!

Sorry - on the other hand I would want you to read, so this may be better, LOL!

Why do you see the need to switch from 5M to 1H after the more lively sessions? So far I have kept it all through any news event or lame time of the week or day on 5M with default settings and it did not do me any harm at all.

I am curious about your findings there, as on several occassions I have seen screenshots by others that I have never witnessed on my own excessive testing! So this is a serious question!

Hope you have a nice weekend! I was on the beach all afternoon and got a nice touristic sunburn! (I actually stem from this island and being like a tourist is a major sin in fact! )

Find the Forum link on the trendchaser(dot)org thread...then go to downloads. There are other places on the internet for traders to go..FF is just one of the resources. Some more successful coders have their own places that they wish to provide thier resources from...for gawds sakes we are not a cult here!

For those of you that understand how the super EA's work, you might realize that if allowed to run in an extended rangebound environment they could hedge their leverage dry and be stuck waiting for price to come back...avoid the rangebound environmonts and trade less....during the slow times the "H1 TF trades" will give you less entries...and the NFP zone always slows way way down a day before NFP. Thus there are the two advanced trading techniques explained...take it or leave it ....

ROTFL!!

Thanks ES ... well, I will test things out, but I just love the performance on 5M permanently and I was not even trying to enter into an argument. I can see the reason behind your action and I just ask myself (and you up there) is it really necessarry, or will the EA solve the problem due to ATR & DAR during 48 hours anyway!

Though you are right - you need to have a well funded account to really feel safe with this EA 365 days a week!

Have a good holiday!
