Yes thats true fredella..

When I test it for 2 month period from 1 Des 2008 to 31 Jan 2009 it generate +3,587pips.

Check back the setting and try again Fredella and post the result ok...

Hi,

I agree I must have had a setting wrong earlier. I now get 2496 from 01/01/2009 to 31/01/2009 and 3892 from 01/12/2008 till 31/01/2009 so almost in line with your results.

But if you use 2000 TP and 4000 SL you get to 3395 in January although only 2582 when starting in December 08. Could it be something to do with the volatility of this currency pair?

Regards,
Fredella

Good day guys,

Well I backtested new version with CCI bould in made by Fredella,
and I get some very nice results.
I tested 3weeks period, with good downtrend and then with big retrace.
I set it fully automatic so Long & Short!!

Samurai,

I have had some success using a 1 period MA to find the short-term direction for other trading methods.

You might find this useful.

Settings:
SMA
Period 1
Shift 1
Median Price (HL/2)
Hi fredella can u make pistoldave idea as a trend recognizing tool for the EA, it seems like forexflash version is not working on my backtest, all of them are sell, non of them are buy. Look at the chart, it is very good on recognizing the trend reversal, or..maybe u can tune up forexflash version? thanks..

Hi Samurai and Fredella
There is also the Slope Direction Line which is fine for the trend.
Settings here: 7 , 3 , 0.
If blue --> buy only
If red --> short only
Maybe Fredella can include different possibilities of choice of trend.
Thx.

Hi, good time to start to learn programming

I will try and integrate some of these ideas, maybe not today but some other time this week. I believe the problem with all these pictures is they provide a view after the event. E.g. the 19th of January was a big down day, however it started of positive. The indicators might well show an uptrend in the beginning of the day, and if you use daily indicators that take the Open value, you might be buying rather than selling. The other issue I found was that when you are backtesting the use of times and days becomes impossible. So for example not trading on fridays or on certain times of the day is not possible in backtest as the DayOfWeek() and TimeOfDay() functions return the current server day and time, not the one during the backtest. I'm thinking if for example only trading during the latter part of the day would be useful, to allow the daily trend to set in properly. However, can not see the effect of that in backtest.

Fredella.

It's true these indicators look fine after events and in real can give false signals but what is important is to avoid that the EA continues to trade in the wrong direction.
So we need to try different ways to improve the use of the EA.

Hi all,

I am testing the last forexflash version and the fredella one

but there is one question I would like to ask you:

why when we see a clear long trade, a long daily candle

these systems open short trade?

maybe there is something I have to check.

Until now the FF version is doing well, the fredella one is just stgarted and I will tell you how is going.

only on eur/usd for me now

thanks to everyone for efforts and contribution

Right Fredella,

but even another issu for me:

this morning, for example,
your CCI was under 0 line, but the system starded long..

maybe it was right, I don't know right now..but this is osmething strange, no?

how are going your trades?

Hi, please note that the CCI check is based on daily CCI, not 5M e.g. Which currency pair are you looking at and can you send a screenshot. I will have time to look at this later tonight if you can send me as many details as possible.

I had a little update by phone

both fredella version and FF are doing well today

but the FF one open and closed one in short correctly

the fredella one ha still one long running,

maybe it will hit the target, but when it started the daily trend was short,
and in case it would have been set to short instead of long it would be another great trade


as soon as I get results I will tel you


nobody else is experiencing these EA?

I see a lot of value in this system anyway, thanks again

I have my version running on GBP/USD since last night. This morning I saw 3 long trades being opened overnight whilst the market was declining.

Since then the GBP has been rising steadily and I'm convinced these trades will now have closed with 100 pips each, but I will check later ...

Hi Fredella fren,

How much pips u got today? I see the chart is in an uptrend continuation.

OK....update for semiauto...

From the daily shart I see the price break the major resistance (upper yellow line), it means the uptrend is still intach. I'm gonna drive my EA long for tomorrow, the price might try to test again the yellow line or arround the orange line (on 1H chart) for retracement but I assume it wont be more than 300pips down which is good for the EA to spot the good entry setups.

I don't get it, what do you mean drive EA long manually, there is no setting in EA longs only or shorts only???

The price is buliding volume on 1H chart, we might see the retracement for 100 - 150 pips down and then up again try to reach the upper blue line again.

Next daily candle...
If the orange line (or max to lower blue line) on 1H chart holds, we might reach 1.5132 level tomorrow.
