Trend Champ

I know the M15 part, but when you say cross-over...do you mean cross the 30/70 level? Or the Main line cross the signal line?

Also, I'm looking for everything else to get in the right direction, and then the stoch's crossing is the trigger which confirms everything else.

any update on the demo forward test ?

Can't speak for bitshifter, but I'm getting 1/20 as many trades as he is.

Maybe you are not using the same logic as Bitshifter is... I will have a look in your code this weekend (i'm overloaded with work lately)

no new trades since last post. And it makes sense, because there seems to be some what of a trend reversal on the euro .. or if not a reversal, at least the steady down trend has been disrupted. The filters have kicked in and the EA is staying silent, which is what you'd expect it. Once a trend picks up, it should start opening trades.

Also, I recently discovered a bug in my EA, which caused those tiny trades with close stops that you see in my last test results. The problem was that Alpari had changed its price quote precision by one decimal digit. This caused my volume, stop loss, and take profit to scale down by factor of 10. If I look back, I can see that in the EA should have taken 3 trades, instead of all those tiny ones. The first two would have been good ones, with reasonable sized profits of about $1k each. But the last trade it would have opened would have been right at the bottom of when the euro started reversing. The EA would have screwed up on this, and would have been stopped out. But that is expected ... the only places where I expect the EA to mess up are when the trends starts to reverse.

if(MACD1 > 0 && MACD2 <= 0) {
MACDCount = Bars;
MACDDirection = "Long";
}

if(MACD1 < 0 && MACD2 >= 0) {
MACDCount = Bars;
MACDDirection = "Long";

Second MACDDirection should be "short" shouldn't it ?

Any updates bitshifter?

my MT4 screwed up boys I did an update from build 218 to 220, and now its stuck in some never ending loop of self updating. I am going to try tweak it some more, and if it still doesn't start up then I'd have to start a new forward test. bummer!

It happens from time to time. All you can do is uninstall/reinstall the whole application.

My EA is Scalper Champ, but also is using trend as your Trend Champ.
How coincidence.

Doing some backtesting using RR's EA with the correction previously listed. Finding that the system works better without the 150 pip stoploss. Would you be able to share the EA you're using bitshifter? That way we can help you backtest and forward test since your forward test has blown out!!

Also, could you please run me throough the process you used to optimise this system....

Thanks

I'm not sure "blown out" is the right expression here. I looks like the account has blown out when in fact only the application blew out

Can you post your forward test ?

Any update ?
