wow!!


to good to be true ezzy!!

very thanks

I have to make it work
In my opinion, one downfall iopoipoi.

I think that most trades will be profitable on this ea (from my few results so far) but drawdown can be pretty bad. I am thinking of trying one of 2 things;

1) next week I will try turning ea on Monday and turn it off Wed and let the trades run untill the following Monday when I will turn ea on again etc etc

2) otherwise maybe adjusting the pipstep to a greater number, this will probably eliminate having 3-4 trades on the same currency at the same time.

We'll see how it goes.

The thing is to be correct on the trend. If you're not, you can not only have big drawdowns, but big losses. Ask 10 people how you can know the current trend will stay that way, and you get 10 different answers. You can go with the last day, the last few days, the last week, or use a moving average cross, or whatever, but I've yet to see anyone get it right consistently. It's fine when the GBP is trending your way and you make lots of pips. Not so fine when it keeps changing, or suddenly reverses, and you're down 200 plus PIPS on 3 to 5 positions.

It's still about the TREND! If you get the trend right, you're fine. You know the old saying of The trend is you friend. Here's one I made up "The trend is a fickle friend, often telling you to kiss her rear end. She leaves you in the lurch, waving goodbye; Standing there penniless, Left all alone to cry".

Well..here is the one I made up "Make the trend to be your friend",
HOW?
I drive the EA to make the trend to be my best friend.

I show U the detail statement when the first time I found this idea. Find the attachment below and learn it.

From 23 Sept 2008 to 13 Oct 2008 (15 days trading)
I tried with multiple pair at a time that time: GBPUSD, EURUSD, NZDUSD, EURGBP, USDCHF, GBPJPY, AUDUSD, USDJPY, USDCAD, EURJPY.

started to run this idea from 23 Sept 2008 and the result is quite amazing, the setting was default, 300SL each, 50TP each, except for EURGBP I was set TP to 40.
There was drawdown as u can see on the graph but still I managed to get 6851 pips in only 15 days trading.
I didnt continue demo becouse from the result I've seen more than enough.
I analyze the most profitable pair is GBPUSD and EURUSD becouse the EA open more position than other pairs.

From 27 Oct 2008.......
I was thingking if I set the TP to 100, maybe the result is gonna be more than amazing, ...then after several days the result is just like what I was expected, there was drawdown also just like before as u can see on the graph, but then I managed again to get few thousand pips in just several days trading.
But I didnt continuing demo intensively again becouse again I've seen more than enough.

That when I was found the strategy called "Semiautomatic EA (Driven Version)


NOW
I found this idea with the strategy and the setting and then I opened this thread just to share u a good thing I found, hoping that I can get more pips in my life, it means discuss how to minimize more the drawdown, since I know that lots of people is smarter than me, get some new suggestion and stuff and bla...bla..bla..., including automatisize the "manual drive" (I'm stupid on coding things)

Just keep demoing and find best setting fits your style.

Hi friends and Forexflash

I agree with pistoldave, my results so far with the EMA(m5)v2 version have bought and sold regardless of the 200 EMA.

On a positive note I have had no losses with this version on my demo as yet, since the 2/2.

I will continue to demo and relay my results to this thread.

So far, so good fflash http://www.forexfactory.com/images/icons/icon10.gif
Ezzy,

Could you please share how you're using v2? Anything special or different?

Hi paradoxical

I would prefer if the ea would take trades according to the 200 moving average, however it doesn't.

I am just posting my results so far.

In addition to your comments, after so many positive trades so far, I got two losses last night -300 pips x2 = -600 pips (on demo ofcourse).

I will keep demoing and trying different scenarios to see what happens.

Cheers

Hi SamuraiPower,

I think your system is very very good

the results you made are the proof of that


I also think it is quite difficult to alwasys understand the daily trend, at least for me

also because sometime the trend change during the day


So I think with a big interest the automated version.


Until this morning, GMT + 1

the last ForexFlash EA did very well yesterday on EUR/USD (the one I am testing), Long and Short

Even the FE version, but with only one trade for two days


This morning the two were in loss


There is one thing I would like to ask,
excuse SamuraiPower, why a 300 stop loss?

I would not be better a 150? 200?

I think that is very hard a recover from a -250 pips loss
so maybe it would be better cut the ones are going down

Do you have a different thinking or experience?


I think with a little more tweaking this could be an high potential EA


thanks again Samurai
and thanks to everyone put their time and efforts on it

Hi,

what do u guys think about backtesting? If I do that over several months, it seems 300 is a good value. If you make it smaller there is a chance your causing a loss when the trade potentially can still be in profit if it turns around.

I agree that at least on GBP/USD the EA is causing losses. I guess this is because there is currently no real trend, it's bouncing up and down.

Results of the morning with Samurai EA:
at London open :
EU daily pivot above price --> only long --> 1 winner trade
GU daily pivot under price --> only short --> 1 winner trade + 1 pending
EG daily pivot above price --> only long --> 1 winner trade
I'm checking 5 pairs EU, GU, UY, EY and EG.
No trading on UY (too much near daily pivot )
EY was "only long" but EA didn't take trade ....why ?????
Total = 150 pips

This is a daily chart.

The yellow line is a bigger trend line showing a down trend, and the blue one is the smaller trend line showing up trend, if the price breaks the yellow upper line it means the uptrend continuation to more than 1.5xxx, but if it holds it might fall toward the lower yellow line.

Mean while the heiken ashi and the arrow still showing an uptrend, but I have to be carefull becouse the price is near the major resistance. Anticipation mode is turned on
