Hey Damon...

Do I download the 1M AND the 30M or just the 30M? I did 1M and 30M just to be sure. Also, Are you saying (#3) to 'download the same data' again for the 'same' pair to prevent price gaps? I.e., download 1M for GBPUSD twice? And same for 30M? (I am only doing GBPUSD 30M) And since I'm doing 30M, I don't need H1, right? Sorry - I'm new at this.

Hey Tom -

You only need to download the data for the 1M, but twice to help avoid gaps.

I take it too, (sorry - I am too detailed sometimes) that you do *not* check the checkbox next to OFFSET or STOP LOSS, correct? Only next to the ones you direct us to...?

Hey All -

Thanks for coming through. I think we are really onto something here. Let's keep up the good work and others will show up who will fill in the gaps.

There is a Magic Number in the properties of the EA. This number will need to be changed for every duplicate TF for the same pair. Duplicate pairs on different TF's, this will not affect.

If you have any questions please ask.

I will hopefully get a chance to update the optimization manual in the near future.

Also, don't forget to include the correct TimeToTrade features when you load the EA. I will try to get these set to default for next week.

Enjoy!

Hey Tom -

Eventually you will check the box next to stop loss, but that comes in a different step. This box remains unchecked at the beginning.

In documentation, says "In the “Values” box on the same line as “SlowSlopePeriods” put . Notice you will not be checking the box here" - put ????

That would be a "5". For optimizing, your slow period will always be one higher than the fast period.

BTW, I have gone through the 1st 2 optimizations and get nothing. No graph or results. Is that ok? Did I miss something?

Damon,

Would you like me to do another pair, maybe GBPJPY using the SLF filter? I feel pretty comfortable with this.

Hey Fredella,

It is possible that EurUsd is a loss. This was one of the worst performing pairs of the original slingshot system. GbpUsd was the best, followed by I believe GbpJpy.

Actually now that I think about it if I had my drothers I would only trade Gbp pairs.

If you get a negative result than that is that. Please do the test again next week and if we get negative again, then we can eliminate a pair, t/f and filter. process of elimination.

hey Damon, could you assign me a pair please?
I'm about to read the manual, and would be good to practice with my own pair

Check you "Journal" tab when you have no results it will tell you if the results were insignificant. Then you will know if you did it right or not.

Hello All -

I have uploaded a new booklet for optimizing on the 1st post. I have made a few changes and I have also included a little trick in Step 6 to help you save some of your default settings.

Thanks again -

Looks like I won't be trading this pair with this filter this week. And yes, it is okay that you turned your MM off. It is actually easier to determine pips in profit this way.
