Hi humax,

not trying to counter you, but the great thing about BAT is actually that it is supposed to do well in a trending and ranging market.

Check the canonical rules:
Trending: Enter 1 trade and stay on it until we hit TS
Ranging: Enter 2-3 trades and even if first trade never gets out of the water the trades 2 and 3 are going to gain the pips.

Obviously no system can only win. Especially with a fronttest you must be really patient before judging the results!!!
No offend taken and nice to see you again around here fukinagashi.

What I meant was when the first trade gets triggered and the market turns around. Then you have 3 losing trades. After triggering the other side, it does the same thing again. Our worse scenario

Best situation is when the price goes up then down (triggering trade 2+3) without hitting the sl. Letting us take the profits and shoots up!
Same goes for the opposite.

Btw. if forward testing is good for some people to go live with it. What do we need to do? I can't write EA myself.
Will you sell it?

Fuki, two quickies:

1 - thank you for your sharing!

2 - If memory serves me well, you said for some earlier EA version, to set Use_BATATR_Indicator to False. Is this still valid or should be now set to True?

Thank you,
Mario

what are you talking about, humax? You can go live with BAT EA! You just take this EA and let it run on your live account. You don't have to write EAs yourself.

hi fukinagashi,


today I realized that after limit orders are triggered and the market is moving in the right direction so that you can take your profits for these orders at "Enter" there will be a pendling again that you will be reentered if the price reaches this certain level again. So that is that this one fibLevelSet which is set when the new BAT line is formed is valid for eternity and pending orders will always be at these points.
Probably that's what TA wanted but I didn't know that and maybe they didn' mean it that way and you're wrong (but I doubt it

And BTW, could you add a feature that allows the user to change the fibLevels colors? Because the colors you chose are only good for white background, many users, however, prefer the "Green on Black" settings so then they can't see the fib levels.

True, but only about a month. As fuki said in post#88, it will expire on 1 May 2007.

humax, see this post:

(Since the expiry is now visible in the comment a quick reminder: Why the expiry? I want to know if the community activly uses the EA and I want people to use the newest possible versions. The expiry will be extended timely as long as there is sufficient interest of the communtiy. Please trust me in this: If I base an EA on someone else's method, then I am honorable enough to not make money on that.)

hi fuki,

why did you add trade2' and trade3'? Today I had a sum of 0.7 (7 * 0.1) BUYS in GBPUSD, that's most probably not what TA wanted. And also, it hasn't moved into the right direction .

hi tradeigel, I'm using v1.5c, and it works how it's supposed to. Are you using it too?
Also, regarding your post #105, the entries at the 61.8% and 38.2% fibs are only valid until price reached the fib extension of 161.8%, after this these pending orders are deleted.
  • #111
  • Mar 13, 2007 4:21pm Mar 13, 2007 4:21pm
yeah, I am using this version, too.
As I posted in the BAT thread, I find it would make sense to put the S/L a few pips beyond the BATline so that the price can bounce off the line and we're still in. It happened to me today, I was stopped out by around 2-3 pips right at the BATline then the price took off again - without me!

  • Mar 14, 2007 2:14pm Mar 14, 2007 2:14pm
Since I'm trading mini lots, I set Lot=0.1 Because of this EA didn't place orders. There was Error: 131 Invalid Trade Volume

I changed Lot=1 and now is OK. I keept TradeVolumeFactor at 0.1 and EA is placing mini orders, so all is OK, I'm just posting this for info.

Fukinagashi wrote this in the post number 30:

"I personally will run my EA with Use_BATATR_Indicator=false"

In the meantime there were few version changes. So, would someone be so kind and answer, what setting you are using now, false or true or it doesn't matter (they are the same?)

Thx, Mario

Fukinagashi, did I thank you lately for a great EA? Thank you!

I am having some trouble with this EA on a mini account.

It seems that no matter what %risk I set this EA to, it still only opens 0.01 lots on my mini account. Everything else seems to be working fine.

Perhaps I have mucked up some settings somewhere.

Attached in a text file is The Bat Preset, that should work with 0.1 Lots, using this in Velocity4x Demo. To use just change txt to set

Note Velocity accounts are all the same using 1.0, 0.1, & 0.01, thus their is no m.

Hi Fuki
I set the EA on IBFX (GBPUSD) and it hasn't taken a trade since Mar 14. All settings are at default. I have a few questions:

 

  1. Is this normal
  2. If EA set at default, then all useres of IBFX (with default settings)should be in a trade at the same time: Is this correct: have IBFX useres had any trades
  3. I have attached a pic of GBPUSD. Am I understanding this EA correctly. A position should not be taken until the price action hits the BAT line. In the pic the red BAT line was hit, so we go long and stay long until a new signal. The EA will not initiate any trades till then. I did not include the fibos (less clutter)

Thanks for a great thread, many knowledgeable members here. I am hopeful that the EA will work: It is brilliant and simple viewing.

Exactly at the point JayJay drew th eyellow square on my EA tried to open a position. However, after many retries it gave up - always "invalid price"...DAMMIT...it would have been so nice to get some pips back after this huge drawdown

I am using IBFX and have a position open on GBP/USD, GBP/JPY and EUR/AUD. My GBP/USD. All of them opened according to plan, so I don;t know why others are having difficulties.

If i set the lot size to 1.0 on an IBFX mini account i assume that will mean it will open 1 mini lot per position.

i thought the RiskPercent was supposed to take care of the position size but it doesn;t seem to affect it. At least on my mini account it doesn't.

So how do i get this to actually trade the correct size based on my account size?
