5 Tricks of Trend Trading, by Rob Booker 25 replies
DislikedWhat did trading style say?
Did trade trigger say anything else?
My suggestion would be to set alerts, and e-mail to true (make sure you set up e-mail) then you can at least know if the EA attempts to make a trade.Ignored
DislikedI'm at work right now . . . I believe style was trend trigger not sure
I'll set the e-mail function
but in general are these settings doable ?Ignored
DislikedWhat is the minimum account size it could function off? Ive just got the EA running now. but not placing trades.Ignored
DislikedWhy can't we apply a trailing stop?
Do you think it would be useful if we had a seperate option for TP/SL for breakouts as we do for counter trend trades? I would expect breakouts to be larger for example.
Ive been playing with the system for a while now, it seems good.Ignored
DislikedI've been trying all sorts of combination's, and still can't get the ea to place any trades on my demo account. I even have used 0 win percent; 0 min success score; and 10 min. confidence. I've been trying different combinations for a few weeks now. Maybe the problem is I keep tinkering with it, but has the ea placed any trades for anyone during the last two weeks?Ignored
I'll be back at my main computer by Sunday at the latest. I've spent the last 4 weeks taking winter classes, so things have been quite hectic. I can't wait for some normalcy.
DislikedIn order for the EA to take a trade:
- One of the two options (breakout/counter) must be above the win percent and the other option must be below it.
- Trading style should not say "Stand Aside"
- The high and low lines should not be yellow.

DislikedA couple of questions; I found my auto-optimising EAs to be very sensitive to the number of bars of history you feed it, and how often it is run. Do you find that yours has similar characteristics?Ignored
DislikedI've often thought about using a MTF optimising type strategy (the code is complex enough hence I haven't yet tried it) i.e. if profitable in last month AND in last three months then place trades, otherwise stand aside. Have you tested any of these types of scenarios with any of your EAs?Ignored
DislikedAlso, you mentioned that your EA can't be backtested; is there any special reason for it? I would have thought that your EA and optimiser could run in the MT4 backtester (given enough processing power and time)?Ignored
DislikedI'm also interested to hear more about your brigade of EAs that you use (I'm working on a similar thing but they are not yet profitable); are these mainly based around similar types of breakout strategies or are you using other types of strategies as well? I certainly understand if you do not wish to disclose this, and sorry if I'm getting a little off topic here.
Thanks Michael.Ignored
