Actually i didnt make any special changes in the original steinitz rules. i just optimized few technical programmatical issues. the rules are the same rules. ofcourse we still need to check it on various time frame and on various different currencies.
4xMaster, is this EA based on entry after Bar Close ? I think that is quite important, and I just got a short on 1m Cable even though the 5min bar closed blue.

Hi All,

HERE IT IS:

The first version of the Heiken Ashi Smoothed EA works according to Steinitz guidlines.

I'm posting it currently only as ex4 file just for the purpose of keeping an organized version control.

Please backtest it on any currency and on any time frame, and post your impressions / suggestions / questions / bugs / etc..

Good Luck !
Greetings 4XMaster!

Thanks for posting your results so far on forward testing the ea.

Are your results from an updated/modified version from this original ea?
If so, can you post your current version?

Thanks ahead for your hard work and to Steinitz....thanks for the simplicity of this system and your "traders helping traders" attitude......enjoy your success!!!!

Yes, all the processing is being made according to the bar close prices.
Please give me a screen shot of this false entry you are talking about, and i'll check it out.

I have attached it for you.

It went short at 16:43, the HA spiked red on the 5min during that candle and then finally closed blue. So momentarily it was a valid entry ! But the 5 min HA did not close red until 16:50.

You should use the iCustom function for the different 4 modes.

Did you try my EA? If you did what are your observations?

Regards
Thanks for your reply.

I am aware of using the iCustom function as fas as custom MA's are concerned, such as; if(iCustom(MA,5,0)>iCustom(MA,5,-1) then buy, etc. but as the output from from HA seems to have several 'values' I didn't know if it would perform the same way.

If it isn't the same I would appreciate a sample of code to enable me to add this in.

I haven't tried your EA as yet but I will add it too one demo account and make some observations.

Many thanks.

Hello everyone

Would someone take a look @ the USD/JPY & give me their view on the signal
that has just form on the 15m 30m & 1Hr charts? A red HAS has just started
on the 15m, but the 30m & 1Hr are not showing that as of now. They are
showing blue. Any views are most welcomed as it will aid me in my learning of
this method. Tks.

I would say just stay and wait until there is a red candle in 30 min chart.

Any other idea?

I have two templates set-up. One is just the HAS and the other is HAS with AH. If I have a close call and need to bring out another tool from my tool box I can see if the AH confirms like the other gentleman suggested.

It's handy when you have decided to use penetration to confirm on the next higher TF. If you see the AH confirm you might take it. If you just want to see the velocity of the entry on a color bar confiirmation you can look at the AH and see what kind of set-up to expect.

FYI: the AH confirms a 4H long on Cable as stated in an earlier post.
Hello Seintz,

Congrats for a successful system you have here and thanks for sharing with us. By the way, what is the HAS with AH? I don't realy understand. Would you pls elaborate?

Thanks!!

Tks that is what I was thinking also. This is a great method for getting the
trend & not letting the range fake you out. The best of both worlds.

Good morning traders!

I am going to answer every ? I see from yesterdays postings. I have received a lot of questions amd comments. Nice to see this and share in the excitement.

The demo is free including data. MT4 and the data feed comes from two different sources. If you download both versions you will notice different closing times on a daily candle and slightly different results in the data itself. I use MIG as my data source. If anyone can elaborate please do so.

Hello everyone,

I must say that I have just found this thread a couple of days ago and really like the way this indicator represents the price movement. Great job Steinitz!
I also am enjoying the banter, this is a great group of guys!
Question for anyone, I noticed that the software was said to be free - but where do you get the datafeed? Are there any brokers that have a demo which will not expire? So you can use the demo for datafeed and charting on MT4 and have your live account with EFX(or anyone else).
Please advise, any help greatly appreciated.
Looking forward to future posts!

Thanks!

4xMaster thanks for riding shotgun with me on our road trip to paradise! Your data is exciting to say the least. I do agree that we don't want to curve fit and your reply answered that concern.

I would like to learn more about MT4's backtesting abilities and optimization options as this requires some focusing on my part to get up to speed. Right now I will look at the results you post and use it to see what kind of DD's we can expect.

I know as a professional card counter of 32 years I had the software to see what type of fluctuations I would expect to see with a certain number of trials. 2 - 3 standard deviations were expected and I needed to see what could happen and how often to prepare myself for the battlefield.

Looking forward to more. Good work!

WOW, friends.

Im excited to tell you that after re-checking and optimize my EA, im starting to get very encourging results from my backtest.

Here is an example: backtesting the EA for 2 months from 1/1/2007 to 3/2/2007 (jan to march) on GBP/USD n 30m base TF gave me the result of 52% increase of the inital amount.

Attached you can find the detailed statement.
I need your help in backtesting the EA as much as possible for optimize it to the best configuration possible and we'll be on our way to a VERY successfull EA (i.e money machine).

So start check it, and give me your observations !

im attaching also an illustration of part of these trades.

Can anyone explain how MT4 actually optimizes? What steps are taken with the software to accomplish this?

TIA

Quoting stepwise
That's great 4xMaster!

Quick question - isn't there a danger of over optimizing an EA to a certain data set? If the EA is fully optimized then that means it is "fitted" for the testing period and would not show consistent results from other months / years.

Unless I'm missing something....

the 30m the is a small red candle with a very small wick on the top & on the
1Hr the is an even smaller blue candle with a small wick on top from this info

for the response, I haven't looked yet, but I assume that the MIG demo does not expire? Also, when you said both versions, meaning ???? I'm only aware of MT4.

If you have time to clarify, much gratitude

Next time you have a question please post your current time of GMT please. I am looking at the pair. At 12:30 GMT 3/07/2007 it was a vailid entry with 30M just turning red (I presume since I can't look backwards) or at least price was definately penetrating HAS bar. And 1H was also red too which is obvious. THis trade made as much as 18 PIPS. If you took the trade via my rules you would have made maybe 2 pips at best.

HAS stands for Heiken_Ashi_Smoothed

AH stands for Aroon Horn

Look at previous posts on using that indicator in conjunction with HAS for confirmation purposes if a trade looks marginal. Nice little addition I might add after working with it for more then a day.

First...

I'm not big on indicators so can someone please explain HAS, HA and AH???

Especially AH! What is that and are ALL indicators posted for download?

Second...

I wanted to congratulate Steinitz on the discovery of this fine method. I know how it feels to break through the Forex fog once you find a method that works for you. It's one of the best feelings!!!

I have followed the thread from the start and appreciate the method. I will be monitoring the market with it as soon as I have all the indicators together and make sure I understand it 100%.

I think the best features of this method are its simplicity and ease of use, but most of all It looks as if it will keep us out of ranging markets and whipsaw which is the kiss of death to us traders!!!

Thanks again Stein!
