I have completed a beta version of an EA for Auslanco's system. I had attempted to make the system modular, so that various indicators (as filters) could be added, however I ran into a snag with that. I also found out that the basic system did not do much better with more filters. We can explore that later, in the interim we can test the parameters of a basic version.
It appears to be reasonably profitable and the drawdown minimal. But you know how backtests are misleading.
Out of respect for Auslanco,and all I have learned on this thread, I will name the EA after Auslanco. Let's hope it doesn't go the way of Lilmoe's last dedicated trade.
The results below were with setting as follows:
PAIR: Cable
Stop Loss 100
Take Profit 120
Trailing Stop 0
Time Frame : 1 hour
Basic money management used. 3% risk on $10,000. ($3.00 for a stop loss of 100 pips)
Ok, so the simple logic of the program is as follows:
Calculates if qqe just crossed and qqe is over level (but under overbought level), but price is already over gann and vice versa for shorts. Also calculates spread levels and will not take a trade if the spread goes beyond a
certain value.
NOTE: The EA DOES NOT CALCULATE if gann has "just" crossed but the qqe was already crossed up and over level from previous bars. I found that if I placed this in the logic , more losses occurred.
Please note I don't expect anyone to use this on a LIVE account, as it hasn't been thoroughly tested.
Finally EA's are very particular of the names of the indicators used in the program. So I have included the exact names of the gann and qqe file used below.
EDIT : The QQE FILE IS NAMED QQEA.

lol scrat .. it is not about buying and holding .. it is about buying and manipulating . Do you like to buy a car at full price or discount ?
Pros will push the markets higher to get the shorts at a better price

wouldnt pros have to buy to push the price higher and since it is downtrend it will probably take more buying power. so once they bought it and start selling and price goes down even quicker wouldnt they lose then? just curious :
the professionals NEED to short on rising prices. otherwise they could not sell 100 yards without market makers pushing prices down rapidly. on tops u often see distribution pretty well, seen on high vol up bars with a pretty tiny range. this means, that the prices are capped and for every buy order, they short into it. takes some time to get a grasp of it, but it is amazing.
the professionals remove supply, then they buy just enough to make prices rise and and rally begins...the other market participants then take care by buying and buying to keep prices rising, professionals might even support the rlally further to a predefined point.
read my previous post...explained.

Do I save the indicators in /experts/indicators folder? and how do I change the risk %, is it possible?
I want to give it a try on demo and see how it does, might be useful to make extra $ while I'm busy with life.
