PSAR turns from buy to sell, AC turns from green to red and AO is green/red.

Oh, ok, I remember seeing that chart before. I forgot that the rules changed from the original system and all three don't have to change at the exact same time.

The rules never officially changed, that was just a suggestion, the goal of which was to generate more signals. Personally, I'd just take the original system and deploy it against several pairs instead of crippling it.

I didn't mean forexmoments changed the rules, just member suggestions for Pipnailer2 changed the original forexmoments rules. No big deal, I'll test it.

ok, so I didn't miss a major change Incidentally, deploying it against multiple pairs is exactly what I do...

I don't know what the problem is Steve, but it's definitely not at my end.

Here is a re-uploaded version of the EA. Try this one, if it doesn't work at all, then I may need to have a look at your setup through CrossLoop

www.CrossLoop.com is a remote control service which allows me to use your computer remotely with you watching so you can see what I do.

Ronald,

Thanks for the EA.

Does that EA initiate a trade for which time frames.

I guess M30,H1,H4,D1,W1,MN would be great.

Is it possible to select the timeframes ? Can you please make an EA with this updates....

Cheers

First I wanted to thank Ash, Swingman, Ronald and all other contributors for working on and sharing their knowlegde! I like the simplicity of this system - thank you so much for sharing this with us Ash! I'm reading this thread for a week now and finally got through it - great stuff to read!!!!

Is the new EA properly working? Has somebody tested it? It doesn't take multiple orders / multiple timeframes, right? Is it planned to come? Couldn't get the EA from Swingman to run - I think I have wrong settings - it's not taking orders at all.

Have someone tested the two systems yet? Any backtesting / forward testing results?

Cheers,
M

my lil expert


it is triggered by attached indicator RWI
green above 2.5 then buy
red above 2.5 sell

then it checks psar,ao,ac all in correct direction

at 0.20 it trades for $25.00 profit and closes
if you like and want a wage change lots to 2.0 then profit to $250/trade
it will add trades and hedge on its mood

the only differences from the rules are
it only checks psar is below(buy) and above(sell)
not a swap on the spars
this gave more trades on longer trends

Hi, I'm not saying you have to look at every pair and every timeframe, but choose a select few.

For example, the majors are a given, as are the other JPY pairs. Try to look at H1 and above. If you feel adventurous you can go lower!

Ash,

Thanks a lot for this system.

Lot of participation day by day....

Can you please share with us the Pairs which you use to watch the signals for ??

We can Post the graphs once anybody finds an entry !!

Whilst I was programming AO and AC for IQ-Trader and continued with the signal generation code (and always being on the lookout to weed out potential bad trades...) I noticed the following:

When I:

  1. take long signals only when AC is below zero or just turned positive the prior bar...
  2. take short signals only when AC is above zero or just turned negative the prior bar...

most if not all of the bad trades disappear. AO (being the difference between two SMA's) is nothing more than an elaborate momentum indicator, AC is just a 5-period SMA of AO. It makes sense to not take long signals if momentum is high already (AC > 0), better wait for momentum to turn from negative to positive (for long entries).

Granted, this filter rejects quite a number of potentially good trades, so you could use this information also in another way:

 

  1. if the above conditions are not met for an otherwise good entry signal, either reduce your position size, reduce your profit target, or reduce both...

Another way to cope with the fewer signals that are being generated this way is to monitor a larger number of pairs...

Heck, with automation, you can do all of the above...

I'm very curious what you guys/gals think about this, any feedback appreciated.

enjoy

Some things to think about:

  1. AO, being the difference between two SMA's (5 & 34), is just a momentum indicator; AC is merely a 5-period SMA of AO. Both indicators give a momentum derived value, which depends on the absolute price value of the underlying and its volatility. Using the output of both indicators is tricky in systems that need to accommodate wildly differing price levels, as is the case in Forex. You might want to consider normalising AO & AC output to a percentage of ATR and work with these normalised values.
  2. Another thing you might want to try is this: AO & AC, as we have seen, depend on SMA's, which invariably creates signals with some lag. Especially the delay caused by the SMA(34)-part of AO is significant. Replacing the SMA's with their 'noLag' counterparts will make your systems a bit more responsive.
  3. Trading ranges are bothering you? What about using AO and AC to confirm that one exists? If both are hovering around the zero-line (you have to determine the bandwidth around it yourself... ) you're in a trading range allright...

Just some things to consider...
