Good system Wahnone. Has anybody tested whether it is better to take trades when the mavs cross at the same time as the QQE? From my observations {Casual} it seems to be that way.

Shaping up to be a decent session this evening on usd/jpy, usd/chf, gbp/jpy and eur/jpy (all in profit at the moment).

The one adjustment I looked into after it was mentioned here by someone was changing the momentum to 5 instead of 10. At brief glance seems to make a decent difference (on m30 charts).

so right now, i have all signal buffers set to 5 except qqe entry buffer which is set to 0.

We'll see how it ends up after a few days.

Sure, let me help since I've had the same issues.

* Put file number 6 (the template) in C:\Program Files\MetaTrader\experts\templates folder.

Nice job FrostCall

Just one side note. I know on my mt4 system, the template actually needs to go into the \MetaTrader\templates folder, not in the \Metatrader\experts\templates folder in order for it to appear in my template dropdown list when right clicking. If it is not located there, I have to go thru the trouble to choose 'load template' and search for its actual location on the pc.
Just figured i'd throw that in, in case it causes someone a problem.

* Click on 'Expert Advisors' button on the top tool bar so that it has a small green circle with a white arrow pointing to the right in it. This is the 'ON' button.

Hey Tom,

Great explanation and it is fully operational now. My stupid mistake is that I forgot to click the Expert Advisor button and was test running it with a red cross on this button. Now I have a big smile on the smiley on the right hand corner and the EA looking for signal on the left.

Once again thanks mate.

Hello Everyone,

I am new to Forex, I just finished reading all of babypips. I understood all of it.

The problem I ran into was coming up with a system, i have no clue to start.

I will definitely check this one out. I have never traded forex before and I am relatively new to trading any market.

Wahnone, is there a reason why you trade 5GMT to 19GMT? This seems to be the asian/london and crossing over to US.

I start classes soon and I don't know if i can trade this late.

Thanks

Ashes,

are you trading the EURUSD, or other pairs too?

Which pairs has anyone had good results with so far? Which to avoid?

Thanks,
PD
Hi Dave,

I'm looking and try trading all the standard pairs,
but I have obtained the best results with usdjpy gbpusd so far.

Regards

Zen, Thanks a lot for taking the time to make this EA that only needed one small redo. It's as easy to use and tweak as the system. Thanks again.

Cannot open file 'C:\Program Files\FXDD_2 - MetaTrader 4
\experts\indicators\QQE.ex4' on the EURUSD,M30

I keep getting this error message when I run a test, any ideas. It hasn't generated a trade yet either.

Thanks,

Thanks for the optimization. My own optimization results are not as nice as yours. Maybe I haven't got something right. Are the best settings those you posted above?

use the other QQE indicator, try the one called QQE Alert or the one called QQE_Alert_MTF_v5

Those are the best so far. it takes so long to optomize this thing. i set the model to open prices only just to make it faster. then once finished i set input parameters for best results then changed model to every tick and recalculated. this isn't the best way but it is the fastest.

In optomizing i had something like 10900 different senarios testing so it would take like 5 days just to optomize with opening prices only and like 30 days to optomize with every tick.

those results are from open prices only and i had only gone through about 2500 scenarios there were still 8000 or so to go but got impatient

I don't see the MTF_v5 in the files. Should I be using the SSSbeta 2 or the SSS version 1 EA.

Thanks again,
