Hello, it seems that your EA can only be used on demo accounts. I've tried it with FX Clearing and it only shows the message:" Bombard EA Could not run on live account, contact http://cubei.info for further instructions."
Hello there thank you for trying the EA, but i limit the EA for a demo account only because there is a great risk when trading using a martingale system, you need to get familiar with the EA, you need to know when and where to stop executing the EA..

Because..
there are some times where the EA should not be run.

A RANGING market should define something..

hi there, IMHO you should ask the question on the thread devoted to it
, from my past experience using the TotalEACompound, i'm limiting the ProtectProfit to 150

EURUSD is a very strong trending pair. It may have low daily volatility, but it's still potent.

I would recommend a pair that has long term monthly ranging. I think it's one of the AUD pairs, and I'm sure a 1KT member can help identify this pair.
EUR/AUD? Or AUD/JPY?
Never underestimate the powers of the Force.

Seems to be a big difference between backtesting (with Strategytester) and forward testing.

I asked this question by PM a few days ago and didn't receive an answer.

What are your intentions with the live version of this EA? Are you going to share it at a later date?

Thank you.

Hello Yohan,

I am very impressed with the ea. It made $179.00 on my demo account in less than 24 hours. My question is the ea stopped trading and put a message of we have finally reached the target. How do I get it to trade all the time on the demo. I tried removing it from each chart and then putting it back on but it still displays the same message. Also one other question, when I tried to close out a trade manually it would not let me. Is that by design? I have attached a picture of my demo account balance. Thank You for allowing us to test your ea.

yes there is some parameters need to be changed if you want to trade the EA after it had close all trades.

Thank you very much for trying the EA, if only more user testing the EA, we could try to set the best parameter for every market conditions.

The current default setting is the best setting if only the pair is TRENDING, as for with a ranging market you should try to modify Coef1 and Coef2

Thank you for posting your results, and yes there might be some bugs, i'll try to browse and see the code again

Happy trading!

Hello Yohan,

Ive tried backtesting this EA on 1M tf on euro/usd. My trouble is it will make ONE series of trades then close them all out..then stop trading and end of results. I cant get it to backtest from DateA to DateB.

Maybe there is a bug.

Thanks

i'm using a global variable to define ones account, say if you start your account with a $2000 deposit.

Try to press F3 on your metatrader platform, you should see some global variables there.
one of them named First_Deposit, the variable serves as information where should Bombard begins it's martingale theory (if your account equity reach bellow this parameter, Bombard will try to calculate how many lots should it trade)

and another was named BombardTarget, i created this global variable to ensure, if the account equity has reached the target, Bombard will close all open positions and will not trade again.

as for the above case (you deposit $2000) i recommend that you should set the global variables as follow :

  1. First_Deposit = 1000 (half your current deposit)
  2. BombardTarget = 2050



But, that's only my proposal, feel free to explore.

Regards.

Hi Yohan ip

Azjef brought this to my attention on another forum so I loaded it on a demo last night.I've attached the statement.All settings were default.Very impressive.
The market was quite active which was a great test.I started at a low balance to see how DD would be with pairs applied and it passed with flying colors.I've tried just about every martingale mutant out there and yours definatley shows great potential.I look forward to testing this live.

I had to put the statement into Word to load.

Hi, these are interesting results. would you mind to share the settings? and which version did you use? because from what i see on your statement, you are run the EA on multiple pairs.

i'll use the settings to implement some neural network to the future release of the EA, so that the EA could automaticly adjust it's own parameter.

thank you for testing the EA

Hi Yohan,

Here are the settings attached in screenshots along with the new global variable setting.I've included a detailed statement from this new round of trades.Interesting enough though is the repetitive lot size of .1 when in fact nothing has been changed in the inputs.I guess in anaylizing the new target,when trading begins on Sunday it will start to adjust lot size to hit the target.
My version is 1.45.i hope this helps to the developement of the live EA.

David

Just setup the EA on demo on EU m1. Tomoro start forward testing it. Will report the result and also any bug.

Edit:
Wish to know how the EA exit the trade.

1) TP and SL. But if the price does't reach there, then it wont close?
2) I know if we click F3, when the EA reach the BombardTarget, then EA will close all trades and shut off. But is it any other conditions so that the EA will close all trades without reach the BombardTarget.
