Looks like you are on the same way as I am.

This stat is only from today, I had to open a new ODL account yesterday, the other expired.

This set ran only on 1M.
Great results.I am using a set file on 1m eu that might be a little too tight, but will see how the results go towards end of week.I did change from 50:1 leverage to 100:1 on FXsol.I like using a smaller leverage.
Also fxsol offers spot gold, but have not played with it yet?
Have a great day and I hope all continue to have great results.Cobra I thought you were also using fxsol?

FXsol is a live account and I got back to demo as we all do.

I only wanted to see if there is any difference between live or demo.

Once we have all run up I get back to live.

I like ODL more as the pivots are much better due to the brokers time zone.

Oh, and for the results, they are better than my manual trading at this moment , I have some problems with this ranging PA, but that might be because I got biased.

No idea Tom, sorry.

Maybe xux has a solution for that.

Does anyone know why I keep getting this error when I try to backtest weekly ePeriod (10080)?


I have downloaded weakly history but it doesn't help.

if this keeps going...

@THV Team: what a damn fine piece of code!

Setup: EURUSD M30 and EURUSD M1, trading in direction of the weekly trix

I'll post the set files by the end of this week. I still can't believe what I am seeing and if this keeps going... what more do you want?

AZBOfin
Man this is way too good..I'll be very interested in your results for the week. Again brings home the point that this is just a wonderful piece of work!
I'll start making some set files on M1 as well..was scared to go down.
Ya all have a good nite

Ok thanks Cobraforex.I am trying to test with fxsol as I would if I had a live account on there.I already have an account with them but I blew the first account about 7 months ago when I just got into trading.I am trying to get back in but very slowly.I think that this ea is the one I want to go live with.I have tried manual trading and other ea's, but I keep coming back to this one.You all are doing a great job in testing and I appreciate all the hard work everyone is putting in the ea.
I wanted to put a thumbs up, but for some reason the icon didn't work?

The secret of this sets is that we use high TF's (I use 4H now) Trix to filter.

What I want to discuss with xux is to avoid to take a 1M trade when 4H (or higher) trix is in OB/OS zone.

That woud help not to catch a trade in the end of a trend and lose what we did before.

With other words an additional OB/OS parameter.

Hello everyone,

I like the ATR subject that has been mentioned in the last few posts. I would like to even take it further. This is one of my favorite exit strategies. I like it better than just ATR. http://www.forexpros.com/education/t...bjectives-2592

Having well-planned profit objectives is the best way to maximize closed-out profits. The tendency is to either take profits too soon or too late and most traders tend to err on the side of taking profits too soon. Taking a quick profit always...

Wow, I hope that the powers that be can implement this idea into some future version of the EA. I have had this problem for a long time as embarrassing as it is, it is true I suffer from pre-mature pippage. I have gone to see my pip doc but still nothing works,

Now I see that there is a solution, thanks Jeff!!!!

Don't shoot that fast, lol.

One bad trade can kill the half of the gains and it's the result of only one trading session.

Hi,
As stated in my earlier post I tested Cobra's M1 07 set file and got this equity curve:

month of june 09:

http://stashbox.org/563192/eur%201m%20cobra.gif
http://stashbox.org/563192/eur%201m%20cobra.gif

full test report for june 09 can be found here:

http://stashbox.org/563193/eur%201m%20cobra.htm

As I said in my previous post.. forward demo tests are good once we have a good. set and a good run on the Backtest. IMHO, until then we are building sand castles without a good foundation (Backtest and preset file). Of course its fun to play with sand.. I enjoy it too when going to the beach!!
Pls see what my recommendations are from my previous post.

Have you posted a 4 hour set file up to test cobra? Or an updated M1 .set perhaps? ill gladly run it through.
If it backtests good run it live!

@THV Team: what a damn fine piece of code!

Setup: EURUSD M30 and EURUSD M1, trading in direction of the weekly trix (so far no long entries made).

I realize that MM wise it's not the smartest thing what I am doing, 1.6 lots with a 90 pip SL (combined for both setups) on a 10K account. but what the heck... who cares?

I'll post the set files by the end of this week. I still can't believe what I am seeing and if this keeps going... what more do you want?

AZBOfin
Cool down friend.. this is a trendy period and THV likes trends. Look at a chart to correlate with your trading dates/times. The acid test is
1. a good BT for few months at least
2. good stats during a live trading session but for at least 1 month to be able to go through trends + sideway moves.
If it backtests good run it live!

Hi All

Here are my results from week 6 testing:

----------------------------------------------------------------------

EURCHF 5Min

Summary : 18 Trades , 8 Winners , 10 Losers , Pct Win 44% , P&L -129

----------------------------------------------------------------------

EURCHF 15Min

Summary : 18 Trades , 10 Winners , 8 losers , Pct Win 56% , P&L -210

----------------------------------------------------------------------

EURUSD 15Min

Summary : 5 Trades , 5 Winners , 0 Losers , Pct Win 100% , P&L +281

----------------------------------------------------------------------

GBPUSD 15Min

Summary : 10 Trades , 7 Winners , 3 Losers , Pct Win 70% , P&L +179


----------------------------------------------------------------------

All 15M TF are using same ATR based set file.

Over the last 2 weeks I've been doing a lot of back testing on M15, focusing
in on "Bad" days and trying to eliminate the few big bad trades that tend to
spoil the results. I seem to be having some success but we will see over the
next few weeks with forward testing

This chart on 1min eu from fxsol looks very strange.Usually the 7bar indicator is pretty accurate.In this picture you see almost all the bars are red.Yet the last bar is green also the bar next to the one I have marked is lower but green yet the bar higher is red?
I did check to make sure the color I set for up bar was green and down bar was red?

They are candlesticks, not HA candles.

Maybe you missed the indicator.

Just in from FXDD, my live broker:

By now you are probably well aware that NFA has made a new rule that prohibits US Forex Dealer Members from carrying customer accounts with opposing positions in the same account past the end of the trading day ("no -hedging"). The rule also requires all positions to be closed in historical order, otherwise known as 'first in first out' (FIFO). There has been wide speculation among user groups what these changes may bring, how they are going to affect the Metatrader platform, how automated trading scripts are going to be affected (Expert Advisors) and what retail trading is going to look like in the future.

The 'No-Hedging' rule has been in effect for over a month now and as many of you can attest most of the statements of "doom and gloom" have been highly exaggerated. The FIFO rule implementation has been extended once already and there is continuous talks amongst all companies, platform vendors (software companies), and NFA as to what will be permitted and how things should be working out. In the midst of these changes some dealers have decided to use the rule changes as a selling point for their offshore service centers. They try to amplify the uncertainty and to play on the customers' fears. It is unclear if they are well equipped to maintain a properly operating MT4 platform in these jurisdictions. Most of them have very little history of operating one. It is certain though that it would be costly and inconvenient to close everything and move an account to an untested firm.

In the wake of all this speculation we at FXDD would like to assure you once again that we will do our best to make sure you can continue trading without having to worry about how things may change for you. We are working with the platform vendors, carefully examining all possible options, and working diligently with NFA on the progress of our membership. Our advice is not to make hasty assumptions based on the loose talk from people who spread rumors. If we are to make any further changes to our platforms we will make sure you are informed well in advance and you are given all possible options to consider. We will also try and keep you updated on a regular basis to let you know what our plans are.
Thanks as always for being a FXDD customer.

Sincerely,
The FXDD Team
