Following are last week's results (IBFX). Used set files provided, except used Wilkes set files for GBPUSD 30 & 5 Min. However, there were no trades taken for GBPUSD for the week.

Hi. I had a detailed look at the trading patterns in your results with v1.01 because maybe there are ways we can improve things in the EA. Most trades (out of a total of 100 closed trades) seem to be open for a short amount of time, i.e over half the closed trades closed in 2 hours with the majority in 1 hour. Personally, I would be quite nervous in live trading if my trade that was generated by a pattern on a 5 minutes chart was still active after anything more than that, but say we draw the line at 24 hours. The 11 (now closed) trades that were...
Hi Fredella,

I like your ideas on improving the v1.01 as it does make lots of trades and does need a tweak to make it great.

Unfortunately, we have no access to source code so we would need to ask the mighty xux99 to add these enhancements to v1.01 so that we can test out these observations. I did try this set on v1.02 but does not work the same which is why I came up with the v1.02 set and has yet to make a trade.

If xux99 would be so kind to add these enhancements to v1.01 so that these theories can be tested? Perhaps a v1.01b could be created?

Many thanks.

I shall add an option to close an open trade after a user defined period of time. I will be included in the next EA version.

Happy to add the suggested enhancements to v1.03.

v1.01/1.02 operate the same when settings are implemented properly. Give me the v1.01 settings and I'll make v1.02 compatible set file.

Enhancements for v1.03

1. Open (no profit) trades after a set amount of time (setting expressed in minutes (24 hours = 1440 minutes) are closed.
2. Allow the EA to only trade one trade maximum every 10 minutes. (Similar function trade frequency is covered by MaxOrders and TradesPerSession) therefore this will not be implemented.

Thanks,

Awesome, thank you guys. This could lead to even better results. I believe the remaining issue is the conversion of the v1.01 to v1.02 set for the test that is currently running under wilco-sss on MTI. In the mean time i will keep analysing the results on that website.

Cheers,
Fredella

Use CandleTimeFrame to indirectly define the period between trades.

It's one of the few things I am testing that hasn't gotten itself into some undesireable open DD for the past few weeks. Am impressed thusfar

I'm getting a number of requests for a live version of SSS.

Schedule is as follows;

1) v1.03 will be released for testing - if that all goes well, there will be time limited live/demo release. (this is an attempt to thwart dodgy eBay scammers)
2) All live account users are encouraged to provide a mt4i.com or fxbook link to the account. If they wish to maintain some privacy on this, [understandably] they do not have to post and can send me the weblink/password. I will not share with 3rd parties. This is for live forward test information only.
3) If live forward testing goes well - I recommend donating some of the proceeds of your profits to your charity of choice.

I am with you buddy. More than happy to send money to a charity!

Your selflessness (and other coders who share their ideas on other threads) touches and inspires me!

Thanks once again!

I fully agree with donating some of the proceeds to charity - a great idea.

The charity idea is great. Perhaps we could also PM GetDown which charity (not amount, just who) got the money, and he could add that in post 1 - "SSS EA users have supported the following charities....." I think that would give a really positive spin to it too as well as being an encouragement to XUX and GetDown that the effort has been really worthwhile.

Hey i just noticed the DD for the wilko sets, on the backtest, are really close to % gain. I wonder if there is correlation or is that just a coincidence?

My backtests so far are correlated obviously, but not to the extent that wilko's are
