hey fxspeedster..... sent it out to kostas and pardy...... i believe their plan was to do a quick look over first and then post it....

that should enable everyone to make their own prefered changes.... eta would very likely be soon.....h
Hi Hayseed,
Thanks for the update. If I understand correctly, the EA is not fully automated yet with the starting price. Once this initial phase is tested and this will be automated as well, I can implement the TI into it. The main issue it will resolve is that when the it gets ready to enter on its price (every 10 pips I assume).. it will make sure that the acceleration and velocity is there to propel it into TP (5 pips). Otherwise no entry. Likewise, if already it has entered, if the A/V dries up - it needs to grab whatever it gained or simply get out at a small loss.

Cheers
If it backtests good run it live!

Hey as I just noticed your reply was 3mins ago just gonna add and say initially when I saw the scalping system I thought that along with a trend/momentum filter it can't fail (probability is in our favour + we are on the level of the rat), so is being done should really be worth their time and effort! Congrats to them hope it all goes well

hey fxspeedster...... it's automated now.... i ran it for 3 days last week....

the startprice is just to divide the red lines from the blue lines.... the startprice, of your choice, will be aqua....

you can leave it at 0 and the ea will set the start price at yesterdays close..... it's only visual and has no bearing on trades.....

the ea buys and sells according to the rules kostas and pardy suggested.... i have not read franks thread or edgetraders so not sure what they have to say as fars as rules go....

//-----

there is some code in place that is not activated yet but will be, OneEntryPerBar and the trade hours..... also changing the buy entry to ask price per pardys request.....

other than that, it's ready for everyone to "fold, spindle and mutilate" as the saying goes..... my free time is limited so i'll let each do his own thing in that reguard.... sounds like many have good ideas and the ability to code them.....

looking forward to seeing their developements......h

Hi Hayseed,
Great news that is it running automated. I will let Kostas and Pardy fully test it live for as long as it takes them next week and when they give their blessing that it running 100% according to the original rules I can add my stuff to it. One question and one comment though.. I've been sort of keeping an eye on the original FrankenPip concept and while this has a lot of good in it I am not sure yet how it will react when integrated with the TI concept. The market does not seem to respect the 10 pip train station rule (potential entry every 10 pips) but it seems to issue opportunities at any given time.. these may come every 1 pip, every 3 pips etc. It may prove that when the original concept is ready to enter and wait for the 10 pip line cross.. we may not have the A/V necessary for a trade.. I know that the 10 pip stations could also be regarded as a psychological threshold in the mind of the traders so this may help us in certain instances. Hard to tell how it will play out, but I just wanted to post this so that the group may have a chance to ponder on this issue ahead of time.

Cheers

Hi Hayseed,
As you say, seems to be minor programming left, less than minor for a genius! . If I might suggest we simply add Buys at Ask as an extern value of True/False, gives people the option of taking a slightly more aggressive entry.
Same with OneEntryPerBar, as True/False, I saw that happen in demo test. Actually worked well, since it took 5 pips profit, and immediately took another trade of 5 pips same direction.
Maybe in conjunction with FXSpeedsters addition, checking for build up of ticks in the required direction, both will probably work even better.

Thanks for all your help and effort.

Regards
Pardy

Hayseed,

Since you posted that you sent it to me, my PM got nuts
Therefore, I will not hold back progress since some people want to help with programming/testing. I will ask the following so everything stays in order:
Only myself and Hayseed will assign versions of the EA, so anybody that makes changes please name them like the example. "KostasEA_Fxspeeder_TI_test.mq4". Then if we all find out that we like the changes I will rename to KostasEA_v2.mq4, etc.

Please all join me to congratulate Hayseed for his programming skills. (I am also impressed by his principles in working with the rest of us and the way he is dealing in this thread). All the rest that follows will be due to his contributions.

Hello Kostas,

Just a suggestion, Would you post the latest version of Hayseeds impressive ea in the first post on the thread? That way people will know which one is the base one most people are working on.

Hello Guys,

thanks Hayseed for the EA and all the others for the work. Testing it right now on Demo. The option= one_trade_per_bar doesn't seem to work. The EA is taking multiple entries per bar.
Would it be possible to implement a basket option ? - I.E. When the EA gets +30P then it stops trading and needs to be activated again.

Regards,
tex

Just wondering now if the reason is not because I had Digit = 5, when I am using a 4 digit broker..... I have since changed the digit to 4.... will see if that was what was causing multiple entries per bar.

Hi Everybody:

The rat has been getting fat. How are you guys making out?
If you only trade long, then you can't always be wrong.

hey tex and brucech..... that version was not intended to be released, just tested .... some additional code was in place but not activated and grid lines were not in a for loop.....

the link below will be vaild for 24 hours, till 9/2/09.... and includes....

OneTradePerBar now active....

trade hours now active....

prefered method for grid lines plotting....

//-------

with the basic ea now in place, we can turn the further needed improvements over to volunteers.... i believe quite a few can do an excellent job in that area...... h

So, I guess this would be version 2 and you can get it in post #1 also.

Rest of programmers, keep us posted with the improvements.

is this for a 4 or 5 digit broker and is that the reason for the digit field

and I noticed on buys it is not doing it on 00 which is what the monster recommends is this part of the slippage

also if this is for a 5 digit broker I need to adjust the Sl and TP

Please let me know thanks

It is for 5 digits, but has option to make it for 4 digits.

OK gents,

Let me suggest that we incorporate the following filter:
Use Moving Average filter to trade in the direction of the trend (e.g. if current price>SMA(6) then trade long if the train leaves the current station in the right direction). Obviously, the SMA refers to the 5min time frame.

P.S. Fxspeedster, still waiting for your stuff
P.S2. Pardy, any comments so far?

I am waiting for a day or so until we see some demo trading with stable feedback. I think its most important to validate this version before moving on to the next step. If you want to add any filters please do it now so it can be tested before TI goes in.

Cheers
If it backtests good run it live!

Hi , maybe I can help for test, I made my first forward today an had take 10 winner trades and one looser. I made several time backtests but i am not an programmer, if you have something special needed for help, you can tell me otherwise i will look with my ideas. Regarding Franck's technic, I think we must follow without any indicator, that's my 2 cents view.

cheers
