Simple. Follow this thread post by post and you will see the latest one that has performed well on backtest. You will learn about the concept of the EA as well.

Good luck
If it backtests good run it live!

I just found this thread and I downloaded the EA. doing a backtest on Eurusd M1. I need a faster computer

Can't seem to get it to make any trades at all. I tried on 1M and 5M. I tried a few of the .set files posted. No joy

Looks like the indicator is not present in the expertindicators directory. Place all accompanying THV indicators there and everything should run fine.
If it backtests good run it live!

Yes agreed - I mentioned this a week or so ago :

Trading_hours_settings=--------------------------------
......
DailyClose=1 (true or false)
DailyCloseHour=0300 ( specify close time eg end of session )
DailyCloseInProfit=0 ( keep profitable ones open true/false )

You never say no Xux..
I think we need a parameter for low volume periods which cud improve the quality of setups that EA picks. I was wondering if we can include something like MinEntryATR ? I think it will be helpful especially for 5 min charts and early-Asian and late-US sessions.

i have some little questions about the ea system, hop that someone can help..


in the value "UseTradingHours" when i set it to true, is the time according to my broker time zone?

and if i set it to true and i set the EndHour to 0200 (for example) and im holding a position after that time (02:00) does my position will close or not?

It uses your broker time zone (what you see on your platform).

The EA don't close the position at the given time it only don't take new trades.

"Cobra and xux99,

Have been running some demo's using an alternative approach to pairs selection and settings application. The results have been encouraging. Once I have some more forward testing data, I'll forward the results.

One key item that would help to limit losses would be a additional setting in trading hours to lockout Sunday night trading until a time on Monday morning (say 7am)

Also the broker time/platform time issue. I think it would be best to make these offsets from GMT an automatic process. I have seen use of the Clock_v1_2 indicator to detect times and then offsets are calculated in EA code. This will simplify and eliminate any errors if time based matters.

Let me know your thoughts on this - I'm sure the above will help to minimize losses and improve overall profitability.

Thanks,

Nick"

I shall add an option to start trading after a user defined hour of Monday. GMT offset makes backtesting difficult because of DST change.

Hi Guys
This is just a small request for all the testers who are using 5 min set file I posted a while ago. Could you please share your thoughts on it? Did anyone found it profitable at all? I don't know why I cannot login to the account created specifially for testing this TF. MT4 says its invalid(only after a week).Never experienced tht before

I have been focusing on for this TF lately and I appreciate any input you guys have so that we can optimize this set.

Cheers

kobraforex,
you said in the first page that

"This does not work in live accounts (that is intentional, we do not want any body to ruin thier live accounts with untested settings. We will unlock it once it is proved to be profitable)"

so, cant we still use it on a live account?
i want to trade it on live, so when will u gonna make it work?

and, will u still keep update the EA over and over? or that u goin to release an official version?

and are u goin to release it for free or sell it?

when will you release the final version already?

Hi Guys
I have a question about trailing stops. For most MT4 demo account vendors, minimum is 10 pips. Can we go down to say 8 with this EA.
I am not sure what is minimum size in live accounts. Perhaps someone testing on live may advise.

Cheers

The trailing stop is handled by the EA and is not affected by brokers restrictions. It can even be one pip.

Hi Kaz,

Have downloaded it but not tested it yet - will do so in the next week.
However very impressed with your m15ucd.set. Over the long term its the best I've seen.

I've stopped posting weekly updates on my forward testing as having completed some 6 month backtests I realise that 1 weeks results can be misleading. Hope to post full 4 week forward tests next weekend.

Not making any progress on the EURCHF pair but GBPUSD & EURUSD ( Both 15M ) doing well. EURJPN looks to be breaking even.

Demo account running 3 pairs 15min GBPUSd / EURUSD / EURJPN

Started 24/6/09 - Present :

Wins 93 ( 80%) Losses 23 (20%) Netprofit 2643 ( 0.5 lots )
Absolute drawdown 208.

Hi Xux,

Does that mean that the trailing stop is held in the EA program variables and would be lost if you stopped and started MT4?

Cheers

It is stored on the EA global variables which are not lost after restarting Metatrader.
