Hi eljuli,

You are welcome. As a matter of fact, I should say thank you for bringing Aroon indicator to my attention I only modified your setup a bit.

Cheers,

A1

One more thing...

I learned this technique from a manual system I studied. When a trade is around 50 pips in profit, and all other indications show that it's not likely that it will reverse, I set the SL to the entry price + 1, so if it does reverse, I'll get stopped out and still make 1 pip.

But more important is that it means that this trade is now 100% safe and running on bank money, so you can now turn on the EA on another trending pair to take an additional trade without increasing your risk, ie: you still only have 1 trade at risk....
Hey whatever works for each of us and what we feel comfortable with. Myself last two weeks have had pretty incredible results from Samurai's system just the way it is, so for me "if it aint broke dont fix it." I can't hope for much better than 100% return in 7 trading days, so well see how it goes in the weeks ahead.

I have a feeling the Euro & Gbp are going to coninue their downward progression when markets open back up, what do the rest of you think?

Cheers

Not to get this thread off topic but how is the weather on that side of the planet this time of year? I hope to visit Japan one day!
Hi sergi,

With all the wisdom of participants here, am looking forward to my second week EurUsd. My reading is for "only short".

As in Washington DC at Potomac river, it's a cherry blossom time here in Japan with people getting together under cherry trees in parks and coutry sides, drinking beer and enjoying nice foods...

Fingers crossed... RS

Hey Namrettic, I just drove the Ea for each uptrend or downtrend on the backtest. It would just close all orders at the end of each period (change in trend).

Eg March 11 - 25 set it to "long only" so it closes all open orders on March 25th. Sometimes this results in a loss at the end. So this type of testing assumes that I am closing all orders when the trend changes on the Daily and not letting them hit the SL (which is what I have been doing generally in real time).

I was using V63Ho4.

I am fairly certain Samurai had similar results in...
Does anyone have an Heiken Ashi Alert to use on our daily chart that would alert when the candles change color. i.e. from red to white or white to red? This would be great to program to send alert to cell phone and popup sound alert on your computer. This way you would get notified when the candle is changing color and can make a judgement call to drive EA in opposite direction.

i install the FB v63H04-TS and change some parameters like recommand
in this tread.

But it have some i don't know what to do.


min margin 250
trade from 1 = 0
trade until 1 = 24
trade from 2 = 0
trade until 2 = 0
trade from 3 = 0
trade until 3 = 0
trade from 4 = 0
trade until 4 = 0
safe area = 40

Like the min Margin, if open live with $300 probably set it to 0 ?

Is it really important to set the GMT at exacly the broker GMT time?

thank you
Could someone please explain what these parameters mean? TIA!

trade from 1 = 0
trade until 1 = 24
trade from 2 = 0
trade until 2 = 0
trade from 3 = 0
trade until 3 = 0
trade from 4 = 0
trade until 4 = 0
safe area = 40

Samurai do you still avoid trading on Mondays and what was your reason for that? I wonder if anyone else has experienced less than desirable results driving this EA on Mondays. Would be nice to get some feed back.

Thanks

Hi Jayman02,

its only my judgement based on GBPUSD pair only, I got hit on monday several times but luckily not all of them on my live acc, some on my demo, I just had i little trauma.
I have no idea if u still running it on other pair or GU on monday it might give u a good result if u find its better.

I have no idea bout that one, but i let it default coz the way it trades is still similar with the previous EA I posted, maybe others can help.

Hi Samurai,

I am testing the original system on a real account, with micro lots. It's the first day, it seems very promising now... trend decision with THV v3...

My question:
If I set a trailing stop (in my case it's 500, 5 digit broker), should I have to see it in the order list? Because it is already over +50 pips now, but the SL is still the -300 value...

Is trailing stop invisible? Or is it only for the trades which were opened after setting the TS value?


Anyway, one of the best systems I tried in the near past...:-)

Anyone have an idea if this can be done. The way I would use it would to put it on the 4hr chart to send me an email and a popup alert if the Heiken Ashi changes color. It would give you a possible early warning that the trend may change direction. I have found various alerts but they have been for "Heiken Ashi Smoothed". I just want the regular Heiken Ashi to have an alert that sends an email and has a popup with sound on my computer.

Mhm ..i think if u already set the TS it will show on the screen, never try it coz i'm still using the H04 version (without TS), I'm still using manual control on trailing stop.

The best thing you can do is to use a Trailing stop EA that can manage all your orders, insert it on another chart. That's what I'm doing, I'm using the Swiss army EA from another Tread, I'm demo trading for now though, and its been working for me.

Ayo.
