Level 5 Hit twice today, one time was my fault for not setting a TS in level 1. although alpari wasn't quick enough to hit the TP (which it did hit btw)

2nd level 5 was hit at 2:00 PM EST Today. (WHAT THE HECK WAS ANNOUNCED THEN?) but it recovered, then dropped another 10 pips... which would of given us another $86 profit if the EA was set up correctly.

take a look below.

Jwentro,

You're system is very interesting. I like how you're able to make a profit even though you're negative pips. I have a couple questions for you though. Does the EA automatically close out all positions at the end of the day and start over the next day? Or do you only trade certain hours of the day?

I hope you keep posting your results on the thread and thanks for sharing it so far.

The EA automatically closes out all trades as each "sequence" reaches it profit level. In other words, if a level 2 (.03 lots) trade reaches it TP, the sequence is complete and all trades with lot sizes greater than .03 are automatically closed.

As of right now this EA trades 24/5, although monday london open is definitely a time to look out for.

Past 2 days have been kind of boring (they wouldn't be trading .1 lots, lol)

nevertheless we didn't hit level 5 today, and profit was made. no complaints

Jwentro,

Sounds good. Thanks for answering. I'm following your thread with interest. It looks like you have developed a pretty good EA.

I appreciate your interest. One thing i enjoy about this thread is that it isn't "take Profit, move to BE, this is my live trades" BS.

such as this thread

All trades are documented by the link in my signature and profits/losses are once again shown through the charts and figures i post daily.

fact of the matter is that if someone can't document their trading with hard evidence, then their method is crap.

Profit again today, opened up IBFX nano acct to trade live. guarantee we wont see 8% in 3 weeks on that.

Level 4 hit once due to alpari not closing a trade when it was 2 pips above TP.

Check the results below.

I agree with you 100%. Way too many people say they have these great EA's and are making all this money but they won't publish their results. What program are you using to create those charts and graphs?

one chart is the MT4 detailed summary (just a screen shot)
everything else is an excel spreadsheet i have set up to automatically disect the detailed summary into the various stats you see.

I used to work on excel 8 hours a day at my old job. so needless to say i know a little more about macros/advanced formulas than the normal person should know.

No thats not bragging, its actually terrible knowing as much about excel as i used to.

I like the way you've set up the spreadsheet. It's very easy to read and shows the projections from the current data. That's why I wasn't sure if it's something you made or a program you had bought or found.

Did you get my private message?

i will update tomorrow.

take a look at the hyperlink in my sig for up to date stats.

Level 5 was hit during Obamas speech, further proving THIS IS NOT A NEWS TIME EA.

One EA i had running on an IBFX demo lost in level 5 (because IBFX didnt fill a level 3 order when it was 1 pip below its starting price and didnt fill level 5 when it was 1 pip below its starting price, which leads me to believe that either this strategy needs one of the following:

More overlap amongst current pending orders.
A news filter.
run solely on an ECN - MB Tradings ECN MT4 might be the way to go.
hidden TP or SL


who knows. the other demo (the alpari one im tracking) is doing ok so far but if i was at work i would have closed it an hour before a major speech.

The following picture shows the monster drop the EUR took last night. and how the EA handled it. It hit level 5 then took its TP.

No other trades hit level 5 on alpari demo yesterday, which means IBFX sucks because they cant execute, or Alpari is flawed because they wouldnt be able to mimic this trading live.

Today was much better than yesterday.

3 pictures attached. EA is working very nicely on Alpari.

Final picture shows the trading the EA made today.

This thing is amamzing. I am using ibfx, and am not seeing any trouble with it. What do you see wrong with ibfx?

yesterday IBFX failed to fill two of my orders after they were 1 pip below the price they should have been filled. thus causing a level 5 to fail.

I have had no problems with Alpari though. Nice to see youre demoing. keep in touch.

hmmmm...that is strange, I ma having major computer problems at the moment, and so maybe that is why, but I did not get two 5 level losses yesterday. In fact, I did not even get one 5 level loss.

Like I said though, my computer is struggling right now, and it may have missed those trades.

I havent updated for a few days because my computer at work has had the power off the past 2 nights. (big storms blew through here, knocked out all the power)

nevertheless, today was the largest ever profit day for this EA due to the EA being unable to handle trades (since mt4 was down but trades were open when the power went off) -- some have quoted this sentence without taking in the full context. like a lot of liberals i know.

so since the EA couldnt manage its trades (by closing trades once the lot before it had hit its TP).... all trades in a sequence profited... netting over $100 profit in one sequence and therefore detroying my graphs. lol. level 2 should have profited, but thats the way it goes i guess...

But im keeping those results because thats what would have happened if the account had been live, but i should note that was extremely lucky to have every trade in a sequence that already hit it TP hit a TP on its remaining trades.
