Hi Steve -
On the first pass, there were no combinations to give a statistically reasonble results = do not trade this pair/filter combination this week. The second message could indicate a data problem...

I tried to optimize this evening. I got no results on the first pass-through. The Journal window gave the message "21 results discarded as insignificant." Further on I got repeated messages "Test Generator: Unmatched data error."

Where did things go wrong?...go wrong?...go wrong?

I re-ran the optimization test with the same non-result. I also ran it on another platform (Interbank FX) just to see if there may have been an anomoly on FXDD). Same result. So, that is my report for GBPUSD M30 Single Slope Filter (SLF) for this period.

Gary: Thanks for the feedback.

There is an apparent data error on at least two days. But I don't think that would explan the non-results for 3 weeks.

Are folks actually trading the EA at this time?

Yeah, it would be good if Damon could show up and gave us directions...
I guess I wouldn't really want to waste my time optimizing for nothing...

Where are you Damon?

Please make recommendations - which ones (net) would you include here and which ones to eliminate? It seems that this is too much and needs to be pared down a lot. If you give me your input, I'll adjust and re-post. We need consistency and simplicity I think in order to proceed. I would at least like to draw some conclusions over a 1-month period or something like that. What'cha think sir?

Great idea!

The spread sheet looks very nice and puts all the info in once place for quick reference. My two cents are as follows......beside the parameter settings, the info I find most useful are: the percentage of winning trades, the profit (anything above zero and I'll trade the pair/filter for the week) and the percent drawdawn (if very large, the risk may be to high for profits gain). If I have two or more sets of parameters that give me the same profit, then I use the drawdown to help me pick the set of parameters to trade for the week.....or...

I attempted to optimize the SLF filter M30 GBPUSD for the period 3/23/09-4/11/09. There were no results. The journal message reads there were 21 passes done during optimization. 21 results discarded as insignificant.

Hello all: What happened to Damon? Steve
dunno Steve, also sent PM to Damon couple of days ago, no answer...
Maybe he's just off somewhere, enjoying the pips he made.

Those "Damon Class" submarines have a tendancy to do that to you now and then. They dive deep for a few days, regroup and surface again with fresh new ideas and direction - LOL!

Hope all of you are doing well, just popping in to say hello and wish you all the best!

What was the end result? Why did this thread die?

Did the SlingShot ever really work in its basic form, or did it require too many modifications to be run as an EA?
