Do you know who wrote the NanningBob 2.0 EA? Because the NanningBob did not write it, he does know know who wrote it. That is why it is hard to understand the settings.
Is the lower MA working better for you?
Do you set the ATR setting? for SL?
It was posted back on July 11 and 13

Are most of you planning to shut down for the FOMC and fed funds rate announcements tomorrow morning?

btw - thanks Bob for this thread. Just started testing your 60X90 yesterday. Interesting system!

Thought the thread might be interested in results from testing the Nanningbob BB 40MA (Bolinger Band) EA.

I started this test on July 22nd with the default settings in a demo at IBFX. I'm trading .5 lots, 3 levels on all pairs. No manual intervention, it has been running continously since July 22nd including weekends and announcement.

Be really interesting to see how this would work with some other exit parameters like middle band and opposite band.

Enjoy...

It is a 40MA Bollinger Band (rather than the standard 20MA) on a 4H chart. Sell when it hits the upper band, buy when it hits the lower band. I will start my live testing next week. I havent been home to let it run 24/5. I see above some good news about it.

Great results, it is regretful that this is not from a live account.

1. now that it is profitable like crazy, why do you still want to change its parameters?

2. early summer is usually and relatively peaceful--great for this EA.
but late summer and early fall, things might get lousy.

all in all, bollinger seems a great improvement compared to original MA band.

Well, as an update. I had set the GBP/NZD to go 4 levels. It actually ended moving more than that and those 4 levels closed for a loss. However, account is still up by $3500 for just over 20 days of trading. There might be some pairs that need a bigger range. This EA needs more testing. But thanks for the input.

Is the 1HR 20MA Bollinger Band ea suppose to work the same way. Buy on lower band sell on upperband.

I'm using the 1H charts with Nanningbob 40MA 200 BB. It's running on all pairs except EUR/CAD. So about 23 pairs altogether.

Since BBs are being used, seems a natural to use the Bollinger Bandwidth indicator to identify a tradable condition in the currency pair under observation. If it is good to trade on observed volitility, ie., +2/-2 SDs, why not proceed with that approach, and enter successively, only for example, at +3/-3, +4/-4, etc.?

I recommend demo account first. Nanningbob says this needs more testing. To get it to work on 5 digit broker, I opened the properties of the EA and changed the following parameters

TP to 2000
Pips to 2000
Stop Loss to 10000

I'm running it on IBFX demo which is 5 digit broker.

It is the same as demo account. It's ibfx free $50 live mini account. So I'm not risking anything and it will test in live environment. So if it does good then it won't b demo money. I have more demo money than god!!! I'm sick of demo money. So I'll set it up and post link in a little bit!
