Hi tokken

The EA works in mysterious ways

I am not 100% familiar with the logic that drives the position taking of the EA - without our attempted additions of filters etc. Just because the daily trend is up doesn't mean the EA will take all possible long trades

Thanks for your encouragement to do more work on this project. At the moment I am hammering out a bum-trade filtering system based on a long range Stochastic that would be dynamically re-calibrated by a long moving average, as the topping out levels of Stoch depends a great deal on which way the trend goes. Please don't have any unrealistic expectations of a fool proof system. We are just trying to change the odds a little

Take care

I continue the testing of your EA

Hi Samurai,

I've also been looking at the THV system to drive the EA.

Although most of the traders use THV on a 1/5 minute TF it still gives very good daily signals, as well as giving warning signs as to when a trade maybe coming to an end.

I've been trying out the EA over the last week and I'm already up 800 pips in demo by driving it based on the daily signals. I'm using the EA that was posted on page 1.

There have been a few variations of the EA and I'm not sure which ones are supposed to be fully automated and which are the driven ones.

Can you let me know which EA you are using now for your trading in semi-automated mode?

Thanks,

Joe

thats great, u already tested THV template to this system,thats saving my time to foward test, can u please post the detail statement so that I can learn. Did u set the THV template in default or did u change the indi setting, can u please post also the pic of your chart. thx

Im using EA on post one, never change it, except I set the TP to 100pips, and the rest of the EA on this thread is fully auto EA.

I think cobra THV template can gives quite good information on pointing the beginning and the end of a trend on daily chart, so we still can continue driving and ride the EA till the time when we have to stop or turn, hope we dont overtrade and ride the car over a cliff, right divy?
im gonna try it on a trade simulator program i posted few pages earlier here to see the win rate, i suggest u guys try it also,and post it ok, much accurate than backtest. I mean find the signal on the trade simulator that THV template gives u, and backtest those signal on the spesific day.
Hopefully cobra doesnt mind we using his template here...

Hi! I just wanted to thank Samurai for the idea of this Firebird. Since it was so interesting and profitable.

I manage to use the idea Firebird V63G and instead of using the original/initial trend indicator in your very first post, I used Don Steintz customize Heiken Ashi template with his indicators.

It is a one window to all the timeline trend. If most of the timeline is read, I drive the EA to short...

I have been trading live on my account since 9/3/09 since I stumble upon your site and have done 600pips to date with -17pip float. @ 0.01 mini lot.

Not bad.... So far so good.

Anyway thanks again...

I am thinking of EURUSD next but would want to optimize the step pips, TP, SL since it's daily range is not as big as GBPUSD... Will see and hopefully feedback good news...

Good day all,
Today I trade Gbp/Chf and Usd/Chf, all okey, I'm +300 pips and I'm shutting it down for today, see pic, reason why.
Price jumped over 400pips up in 20min.(my way), I even can't imagine what would happen, if live and if goes other way, This is chart that scares me. I checked, there were CHF major news at 2pm gmt+1, and it looks like, pushes price. I more or less ignore news till now, well, not any more, I don't like surprises like this....

Edit: Should we plant MaxOrder funkcsion in EA?

Yes Samurai, I still play with T/p, at the moment market is more or less ranging, so I use smaller t/p's, for Gbp/Usd I use 100pips, and when good trend. 100pips is still best t/p as suggested by you in overall BTW.

Can someone plant Max(open)OrdersFunkcion, so EA won't open more than x chosen numb. of positions? thanks

Cheers

I believe we will need the sourcecode of the THV Trix indicator to implement that. Does anyone have this sourcecode?

I think this thread attract guesses to be a member and post the first post here, c'mon guys dont just be a guess and just read, be a member and help me out here, i know u guys are smarter than me and have a lot of new brand good idea to improove, im here learning as well, dont forget to post the indis, template, and detail statement...
Here you go, attach is the indicators I used, hope it helps everyone. One thing I must at, the semi auto one must be really ready for daily change movements. I have been away from my trading desktop for the past 2 days.

Unable to turn it off yesterday. I did not notice the indicators has actually changed upwards... Sigh... now my float is -200pips.... but realize is +650pips... Still those are good pips realized.

One of the reason why I took to this strategy idea is that Don's EA might also be semi auto (long story, will explain it one of these days)... and I have to monitor this robot... so I thought hey since I am monitoring this robot, might as well apply this strategy as I will be monitoring it too...

But I forgotten to turn Firebird off when I knew I was going to leave my trading station for 3 days... Fortunately or unfortunately for me, it is still holding up but the 4H trends has changed, which would have signaled me that the daily trend might also changed... which in turn means I should turn it off and no longer take anymore trades.... but it is still taking trades...

Well... lesson learned... anyway... with stop loss of 300pips @ 0.01 mini lots it is a 3 bucks lesson ... or maybe 6 bucks because I have 2 position open.

I don't think I will be able to post my statement... Reason is I am also running Don Steintz EA on my live account. If I do post it, one will really really need to look for the trades...

Can I post my MT4Stats.com statement on this forum? I am new and have read the terms, so I am not sure if that would breach any rules...

From that you will be able to see, that my current EA is making a lot of trades thus drowning this EA Drive entries.

I am following up the trades of this strategy using a spreadsheet... That is the reason how I calculated my pips...

I didn't change anything on the file in the first post, it's about FF bandwith I guess, lots of people downloading so that u have to download several times untill u reach the file size, try download it again till u reach the file size.
