Any suggestions on what SL, TP, PIPS, and levels are optimum for the BB EA's?
SL is set by default around 700. Laws of probability say that this will get hit at some stage, taking all the profits and possibly the account.
Would it be safer to be more aggressive with levels and conservative with
TP, or the other way around. Should one set of rules be applied to all pairs.
Optimisation runs on my broker, suggest moderate TP, high PIPS and low levels, have the lowest drawdown, but back testng is pretty unreliable.
I will post my demo results at the end of the week. Don't know whether this has been a typical week on FX. Are any weeks typical.

Hi everyone, I'm new to this EA, and have a problem getting it (the 180x100) to start trading. On my IBFX 5D demo account, the EA starts trading right away. This is the case right now with GU and EU (both past the first level).

But on my GoMarkets 5D live account, with all the same settings and templates, it isn't opening trades. Also, I noticed that using the template, there is a red horizontal price line on the IBFX platform that there is not on the GoMarkets platform.

Is there something different you have to do to start trading on live accounts? Or might it be something to do with the broker?

I'm in the process of reading through this thread, but was hoping someone might know the answer.

Thanks.

Just don't let it go completely unattended. If u start to get in trouble, turn off ea and apply 242 method

This is not a 100% let it fly EA. As long as price remains in a certain range, about 4-600 pips above/below the MA it pretty much handles the trade. However, when price starts getting out there you need to take control of the trade and manually trade your way out of trouble. In reality I take over the trade somewhere around the 300-400 pip range and begin manually trading it to as close to a 0 trade as I can get it. Basically once it gets to the 3rd level I have taken over the trade and using S/R levels I decide what to do with it from there. In other words I never get to the 700 pip level or anywhere close. The hardest decision to make and the hardest thing to learn about my EAs is knowing when to get rid of a trouble trade. Once you learn that, you can make a steady increase in your account. For instance in August I did very well the first 2 1/2 weeks but the last 10 days I basically broke even because there were several trades I just closed out so they would not cause me trouble down the road. So I love making my profit but during weak times or bad runs I work hard at keeping my account from getting hit hard. That is the key and it is a trading skill you have to learn.

It took me 3 times before I got this right. Just a little fun.

Color Test


These are the things we're supposed to do to remove the cholesterol around our brain and try to slow up Alzheimer's Disease.. It took me 2 times before I could finally tell this brain of mine to concentrate. A great test, do it until you get 100%!


Bet you can't get 100% on the first try! But I'm rootin' for ya...


This is pretty neat! See how you do with the colors! Have fun!


It takes an average of 5 tries to get to 100%. Follow the directions!


It's harder than it seems, as it should be!

i think that the trading hours is not necessary. once your trading you just go till your trade has ended

can you look at my Auto scaling EA and see if there is any problems. i pulled the code out of my main EA

IamThat, big fan of your pending trade ea's. Would you please list all of Bob's ea's that you changed. Was playing your Bob'sV2buysellstopMaster on 5 pairs eu, eg, ecad, ea, echf 15 tf with great success until it stopped working. Says "i ping" in the logs. I would like to test all your revised pending order ea's please. The pending order ea's have much lower dd and seem to handle the spikes very well. Last time I heard you were revising so the pending orders would trail at 1 until entering the market, that would make it safer but not as profitable. A trailing pending order would be a big improvement. I, please keep us informed ..... Thanks .... Dan

Dan,

Here is an altered version(put together hurriedly) which takes only open order steps. So, pending orders are not taken into account and it will be much safer but it could also be less profitable or even could make loss if steps are farther. It may need much finer calculation of steps, which I am unable to do at present. Please see if it works. I have also included an option to select Bands instead of MA.

With STOP orders, I would rather trade GJ, GU, EJ, EU and UJ. It would more useful in volatile pairs. I am trading only GJ .

Edit: Select safeLevelSteps = true for avoiding pending orders for calculation.

1 hr BB for 2 weeks. 9 Pairs. Two early trades closed manually.
Performed much better last week. Couple of floating trades will probably need 242.
PIPS 200, which I think is way too large for 1hr. 40 -60 would be closer. Max trades 3 and TP changed to 35 this week.

When you get a final version for testing with Profiles, instructions, templates etc. I would be happy to post it on the first page for people to try. Good work so far.

You are running 20 cents on a 1000 dollars which is too large of lots. You may run out of room before you ever get to use the 2.4.2 recovery system. I run 2 cents on 2-300 dollars at 400:1. So you are running 10x the lots with only 4-5x times the money and half the margin I use. You probably need 3-4000 dollars to run 20 cent lot trades with 200:1 margin, I would think. This would give you the room to run the 2.4.2 recovery system.

Ok Thanks Bob.. I like to push the Demo's pretty hard to see if they fall over. I would be much more conservative on a live account.
