iMaxCross not working at times. Thats true. I've found that too. May be there is something which prevents this from happening. Do we have to change iMaxCross settings for different TFs? Any thoughts Xux??

@Xux
Yes you are right ! In the Kaizasoze 15M set "CloseIfProfit" is "true" ! The same is for me !

I have to say that the things have put on badly this morning: the whole profit first realized has gone away! There had been two exceptional days that did well to hope!

Have I almost all used the available pairs on the base and, with the new version, on the graph 15M, have used the TF for OB/OS of 1M (!?).

With the old version, in one day, had almost realized 16% but without SL and in fact at the end of the evening the profit had disappeared!

Later I have inserted the stop loss of 30 pips and the situation had calmed down with a more reassuring...
As much as I hate to say it - this is a perfect example of the reward gotten by not thoroughly backtesting the EA and making sure it can withstand periods of adverse market conditions. If you had backtested the EA with your settings, you would have already seen this coming and be able to make the necessary adjustments.
What happened to the good backtest posts that the few diligent traders started running a while ago? Has that all dried up and are we back to isolated anecdotal forward demo incidents?
If it backtests good run it live!

Xux..the problem is resolved. Seems like I've got to use CloseifProfit=false in order to make better use of iMaxCross. Better to close negetive trades at exit singnal then only profitable or BE ones.
Thanks for you help!
Cheers

that seems like a mistake we were making. We do not have any indicator based exits ie no exits based either on Trix or Cloud other than iMaxCross. Now if CloseifProfit = True, it will only close profitable positions in case iMaxCross is hit. What happens to -ve trades, they keep floating untill they get exit sign which is iMaxCross as per our rules, which is not valid if CloseifProfit= True. Hence, these -ve trades only exit at our fixed SL.

I could see it cutting losses. Time for change in settings.

Guys here are the screenshots of some of the trades which end up -ve that I was thinking we can eliminate. These types are the most common I've seen so far.
I was thinking may be we can use distance between X->D and B->D as a condition to check if the price is at an extreme and about to reverse at point/zone D.

I am also including a small .doc on Harmonic Patterns for brief reference for fellow testers.

Any thoughts or suggestions are welcome

Cheers

Kaz, I use the patterns only to avoid to take a trade against them, would that have been a solution for that trade?

Yes Cobra. It could be a potential solution. In the screenshots we are trading with THV but against the pattern. Ideally I would aim to trade with them but most of time I end up with a loss. Not sure what wrong..till date not a single trade with THV and Patterns.

@Kaz could you check it ?

here is my actual set used since midnight today - a modified 15 M kaizasoze set - main differences: it ignores the Coral and S/L is now only 25 pips. I ignore the Coral as an attempt for an earlier entry.

Not sure what you are referring to..may I suggest a few things..

1. You can get rid of arrows from Gartley. Seems like its an old version sitting in you indicators folder. Just remove it and get the one from newest version. Keep the chart as clean as possible.
2. What are your settings for trix and cloud histos..they should match with what you have on EA. Seems like you are just using the default template provided by Xux with version 8.

Well as you know we are testing..so you have to play around with different settings until you find the one that clicks..we are all working towards that objective.

Hi Kaz - see my set file in the post above.

I put into my indi folder all whats Xux send to us sometime ago - so I must have fresh indis - gartley too. But you are right - its your second answer to me - I must check the trix and cloud parameters !

To be shure - do you have the newest gartley ? Could you send it to me - or where may I find it ?

Just copy and paste from v8. Its there.

  • Jul 30, 2009 5:56am Jul 30, 2009 5:56am
Yes - in this case - so I have the newest gartley - I took all indis from Xux's post containing the V0.8.

Have you any ideas for longer trailings to get bigger profits on long moves - see my pictures above ?
