The AshFX System - Version II

I am no expert trader. I have finally managed to stop losing money and increased the balance on the account by just shy of 10% in the last two months, without incurring dd that risked the account.

What I am saying here is, don't take my word as Gospel.

The pic shows a 4H GU chart. I have an outstanding AshFX long currently bumping its nut against a substantial resistance level. It is at +22 right now.

The only thing that stops me taking these 22 pips is the rising trendline I have drawn.

We shall see.

Steve: This Expert is on the OzFX paper clip on Forex Factory. I think he was asked to leave because he was selling signals or something like that. Three experts are on the paper clip on that blog and it is still in FF. We have used it for the past year. I must tell you, it is a brilliant peice of work. It is the sole reason we have made so much money. It works like a charm. The only draw back, you cannot set an entry order and there is no BE etc. Thanks.
Nice one, Susan. Thanks.

ok here you are.
Yes, I see immediately how I solved the problem of missing trades.

I seem to remember writing a robot that actually took care of sending the trades at the start of each new day and managed them subsequently.

At the time, I was still one of the use-an-eastrategy-whilst-it-worked-magnificently-but-drop-it-as-soon-as-it-lost-a-few-times brigade. Put that down to inexperience.

You say you are still trading the OzFx system successfully? Might it be worth me re-visiting and automating?

Steve: Hi: That chart thhat is up there. Just say you felt confident in you trade parameters and you programmed you 50 contract in on that trade when it began. It is up twenty pipps. No changing your entry or anything else, if you programmed like I do, you would have entered one order filled at 20 40 60 80. At 20 it would be break even and your first twenty pips would be in the bank and the rest of the orders would be free and you could go to bed or whatever and not worry about loosing money and you have 20 already in the bank. We have been using Ash I and II with a little help, and your mm EA and it is great. Your entry is the issue. Your ea is doing great. Just some thought. That move is sitting on a double bottom and it has skived through the resistance. So

We have used that EA, my daughter has made over 52,000 pips using pivots and ashes stuff and your ea. We have talked many times that withought that ea it never would have happened. These are demo pips. We still have not traded live, I do, but she will not till this summer. She has spent a year playing the game with this. If this gives you anything, I will be glad.

We use the AC, AO Stochastic, PSar Slope v2and your EA. OZFX uses a variant and is similar in ways to Ash

A little later. The yellow arrow shows the time I posted the first chart.

The 4H candle opened above the resistance, which I hope has now become support.

It would be great if I knew what I was talking about.

It is 2.00 am here in the UK and I should go to bed, but watching live trades is addictive. Just a few minutes more...............

There have been multiple versions of the EA coded mainly by myself and DGC.

The only parts which need re-visiting are the trade management issues as mentioned by SusanD. Something I've noticed is that back in January '08, the swings that the entry part of this system caught 300-500 pips. However, by January '09, those swings were reduced to 30-50 pips.

I do not think your Monday Start Hour works either. Mine trades the first thing on Sunday. I would like to have this feature, as Sunday trading has not been good for me.

I put this on a new chart on a demp broker that is very busy. It does not seem to look at any history, it gives me $0 on everything.

Cheers Gary. I will give these a go.

I think I have been guilty of looking on too small a scale with my settings. Your risk|reward ratio of 1|1.5 is great.

I am definitely guilty of underestimating the robot, in saying it is only just breaking even. In fact, it is 477 pips to the good in the (around about) month I have been using it.

I attach another useful tool. This analyses the contents of the History tab by magic number or trade comment - handy for working out which robots have performed best. Put it onto a busy chart, mine is gj.

I really like the idea of adding something to determine the trend in one time frame about what ever you are trading. Since so far I like 4 hr (testing 1 day), the trend to watch would be 1 day.
I really like the trend the Parabolic SAR and RSI Alert EA.

It analyses your past trades in the history tab.

 

  1. Make sure there are trades in the tab.
  2. Make sure your inputs are correct.

Hi;

I was thinking that if we use Ash II on the daily as recommended with the EA:

Put the Ea on the daily and then it will trade, hopefully, according to Ash II strategy. Only trading when the daily changes.

I was thinking. Instead of putting the Ea on the daily chart, note the daily change and then put the EA on the 4h or 1h to trade in that direction. Hopefully, then the EA will pick up, and get out of the trades that only match the daily in that direction. We could then use the MM available to auto trade that are in line with the ATR of that 4h or 1h chart. ie ATR is 54. Our profit goal is within that ATR number.

I was thinking maybe people say these EAs don't work, but maybe it is because we do not use them to our advantage.

Maybe we could leave the EA on the daily and only say it can trade in the direction of the Weekly when it changes to that weekly direction.

Also, I think this market moves in a staight line from A to B in a weavy sort manner. You need to have a Zig Zag on the chart to keep that straight for you. Rolling Indicators will not help you with that. The market does not move that way.

Any thoughts, anyone else.

Hey: I put the EA on the Euro 1h to trade in the direction of the Daily that is in an uptrend accocring to all indicators and stalled a bit. The 1h had made a move down since last night so I turned it on only to go up on signals that matched. It got me in and I am up 12 so far. Just to let you know.
