Hi Richboy,

I tested your EA and i notice it follows Vforce signal rather than VEdge?
just want to confirm if your EA is for Vforce or Vedge.

my setup: loaded on VEdge indicator template.
e.g
EURUSD triggers 1.30430 (17042009 GMT 11.15).
this is seen in normal vforce 15m.
however in VEdge i don't see this signal.

rgds
Yes, it uses vForce, but i'm studing even one for vEdge...
Today i update the code, so tomorrow i think i could post the new code..
Thanks.
I'll send a bottle of wine to my first voucherer ;-)

"Knowing when the market will have momentum is key to not getting caught in reversals..."

I found an article explaining daily events that influence the forex markets.
I made a timetable that shows my understanding of important times during the 24-hour forex day. See ForexMarketsTiming.pdf below. - RD

Update...

I made an indicator that prints four key times each day on the chart.

  1. 6:00 Zurich
  2. 7:00 London
  3. 14:00 Chicago
  4. 23:00 Rollover

It is setup for IBFX gmt times but you can change it to anything you like.
See KeyTimes.mq4 below, save to MT4\experts\indicators folder then recompile (or restart MT4) to recompile.

I have back tested using Vforce and 200SMA for march. seems it quite profitable by using both. the 200SMA is the Purple line above the candle.
Sony well done, good experimenting!

SMA200 (simple) is regarded by many as the #1 most reliable trend indicator in all timeframes.

Are you using Simple or Smoothed moving average ?

Hi, I coded all day some new feature and now i'm releasing version 0.0.2 of my ea based on vForce (not VFE).
I'm thinking to do more and more implementations, but for today i'm quit happy. I had back tested the ea from 1.1.2008 to 1.1.2009 (one year) and the ea show a good gain with limited risks (for the test i set 2.0 RiskPercent...)
In the attachment the result of the backtest.

You can download and test it for free at my website: http://www.massimogreco.it/public/RichBoy1972vForce.zip

Good weekend everyone.

Hi RD, Thanks for rounding up that market timetable info. I have noticed that the EURGBP moves a lot on that sort of info & trade it using a 'sessions' indicator, which is just big lightly coloured rectangles as background.
Takes a bit to keep up with daylight saving shifts, but reversals are quite strong.

Richboy - nice EA work, will be watching its progress.

Good pips everybody
cheers

I had used the version 0.0.2 of RichBoy EA.
Setting as default (no trailing stop because it doesn't work fine...).
Currency EUR/USD
Data History downloaded from Alpari.
Data interval for testing: year 2008

Use Time Control = true (trading between 8.00 to 23.00).

Signal vForce alerts.... not vfe.

I'm interested in your result... I've to improve the EA for the live trading...

Have a nice weekend,
Richboy.

New Ideas Department

I have been experimenting with ATR (average true range) calculated over the previous 14 daily candles. You can see the values by adding the ATR indicator to a daily chart.

ATR(14) gives a value of 0.0182 (182 pips) on 8-April. 9-April high/low were predicted by using the the 8-April high/low and the ATR value.

This means that from the very start of a new day I already have a good idea of what to look for in the new day's range.

I have never seen ATR used in this way but it makes sense and given my chart below this may trigger some more creative thoughts for traders here...

Attached are the results of the backtest I performed on ODL platform using all the variables you specified below.....

I will go try it now with my Alpari Russia feed which I believe is the most accurate for MT4.

Just tried with Alpari RU and I now get a positive result, but nowhere near as many trades as you. I also checked the visual charts and it seems to be missing a lot of my signals, and doing very wierd things with the ones it is taking. Anyway, will keep playing around. Has anyone been able to reproduce richboys backtesting results??

Hi e-piphany and thanks for your feedback.
I repeat my backtesting and you can see the settings and the results in the image attached (a bit different because I'm working on the ea ...)

I also put on my website the result as a file excel so that you could see when and how the ea work on my pc.. ( http://www.massimogreco.it/public/result.zip )

However I had much work to do before trying real.... so I hope I can help you in the near future... :-)
Thanks a lot,
I look forward for further feedback.
Bye.

PS Maybe the difference depends on the trading hours? I'm in Italy (gmt+1)....
PS2 I'm not using the vForceAlert.ex4 that we can find on the first page of this thread but the last posted... ( http://www.forexfactory.com/showpost...&postcount=776 )

Hi Richboy,,,Nice graph!!,,,,,I am not very astute when it comes to programming and wish I could give you more feedback,,,But your ea looks like it has the proper MM rules for a reasonable appreaciation of capital,,without massive drawdowns,,, then we should be in decent shape,,Trading forward will be the real test!!,thanks again,,,

Hi Richboy. I think maybe you haven't put the latest version on your website? I redownloaded and my version doesn't have the LimitTrailingToBreakeven variable..... Could you post the source code somewhere aswell? Or maybe PM it to me if you don't want it to be public.

Sure, the EA uses vForceAlerts that is suitable for all day trading. I just put the option to limit the trading hours for personal preferences...

Now I'm working on exit rule optimization so I think tomorrow i'll be ready for a new version of the ea.
Thanks.

PS e-piphany the setting you saw is of the work in progress edition that I think to complete today. The version you downloaded is the correct one... I hope that tomorrow, with the last version, you'll be able to back testing with the same results as mine...
