Yeah, mine took a loss on the asian opening sell here too. I did leave the timelimit stuff on, however I have hedging set to true. Expected it to hedge out of it, but maybe the timelimit kills it even if you have hedging on?
Didn't take that big of a loss closing after 5 hrs, only 36 pips lost. It then took another sell at the end of the session and hit tp.
I drew some lines and I think I could have closed it out at BE but the timer got me

So for the whole session what was the results up or down
It won't hedge until you hit the hedge target which is 5% down if the time limit didn't kick by then I would think the hedge would kick in

I defer to Steve

It looks like the trade didnt go too much farther against me by the time it closed out at the 5hr mark. It's hard for me to figure out what % it was down at the price's highest point, any suggestions?
If typical stoploss is 10%, and my timelimit closure caused me to lose about 2.5%, it does appear that the hedge came very close. Within a few pips of the 5% mark. So of course, no idea whether it should have and didn't or whether it hit like 4.95% and didn't have to lol.
Sorry you got hit for more. But that's one of the nasty outcomes of running 10% loss and only going for 1% gain. 10:1 RR needs a pretty damn high win rate over the long term.

Scoob.. how did your version do this week?

Let's not push Scoob for the holy grail.

i suggest that we all brainstorm to see what good can be think of.

HG v1.6 seems avoid large drawdown, but it seemed trading not frequently.

My GJ trade only 5 times, and EJ only 9 trades from 2010-1-1 ~ 2010-3-3. (win 60%) That's according to my backtest (my PC wrong, can't demo)

Who please share HG v1.6's performance? This is very important, because HG and scooby.mq4 (including invisible's) could be complementary to each other.

i have been forward testing v1.6 for weeks - its not been bad, but nothing amazing. IS there a version with the laguirriRSi indicator incorporated? I think its key..

This week was....

26 trades, 26 wins, 0 loses, 18.79% ROI.

Changes were...

TP = 1 x 20 day ATR(H4)
SL = 1 x 20 day ATR(H4)

EMA1 = 20 day EMA on M15
EMA2 = 20 day EMA on H1
EMA3 = 20 day EMA on H4

Long trade = EMA1 > EMA2 > EMA3 and OS in M15, H1 and H4
Short trade = EMA1 < EMA2 < EMA3 and OB in M15, H1 and H4

Pairs = "AUDJPY","AUDUSD","CADJPY","CHFJPY","EURAUD","EURCAD","EURGBP",
"EURJPY","EURUSD","GBPJPY","GBPUSD","USDCAD","USDCHF","USDJPY"

Max open trades = 6

Trading stopped at 11.00am GMT on Friday.

I manually closed out a GBPJPY trade for 28 pips well before NF economic news at 1.30pm GMT.

I dont know what the max DD% was but it couldnt of been very much given the relatively low SL's and subsequent zero loses.

What is clear is that at the moment you dont get many trades but if you have a large account then it doesnt matter assumming this week wasnt a fluke.

I used standard MT4 RSI(2) for OB and OS but LagueereRSI for the entry on M5.

Yikes scoob. You're a flippin' legend.
A quick question.. did you add the laguarriRSI indicator to the version you are using or can these results be obtained with the v1.6 too?

The latest version is totally different on determining the current Trend and Entry conditions.

I will test it for another week and then release it with some documentation.

Any particular reason for leaving EURCHF out of the mix?

I am going to sound like such a twat. I have had a look in the code and tried to make some adjustments.. dont know what to do. I dont want to bother scooby anymore than I need to.. Is there anyone who can take a hint from what he has said and code it accordingly with the lagarriRSI indicator?

Thanks once again for the hint and guidance scoob.

YES

This is key from my analysis and others have mentioned it.

It looks as though you need to pick pairs with a high ATR.

When I was testing I noticed that Alpari widened the spread on EURCHF during Asian sessions meaning the R:R was very bad because of the low ATR on this and other pairs.

You may not realize (or maybe you do) that twat in the english language is a pretty crude word. You shouldn't be so hard on yourself

OK, thanks for the information. EURCHF was profitable recently on v1.6 using Steve's mptm to control exits - half position closed at +15 etc.

Looking forward to meeting the new kid on the block ....

In the UK it is a mild form of "jerk". My mother uses it and has no idea of the origin

Maybe I will look at it again but it was very strange because the SL and TP were both flashing but the profit was -2.48 for a lot size of 2.0

I could only think this was a massive spread increase ?????

@ Scooby

I take my hat off to you! Excellent work. Beats my mods. But I have to say this code hacking is fun in its own right - and I am learning as I go along.
