Thanks for the analysis, MiddleEastern. The results look promising. My understanding is that Holy Mackerel is a cleaned up version of THG 1.6 so this is probably the best one to test now as it is less likely to have problems caused by bugs.

Got it. Ill test them both in parallel to compare results.

Regarding my previous post, an analysis of the losing pairs showed that euraud was responsible for a drop of 5% in the ROI. Without this pair, ROI wouldve been 25% in the last month. The other pairs with losing trades had winning trades that made up their losses.

Wow you are the man!

i still remember how i was lost when i saw my EA placing trades like crazy, 1 trade for 1 second, the madness run for minutes and dozens of trades kills my cash lightingfast......

guess you spent lots of time at mql4.com? hoho, i find it really difficult to learn about those tiny issues of this mql4. however, in live trading, each tiny issue kills, geez.

by the way, you are talking about your own library or that "orderreliable library"? cos that orderrelialbe librrary seems to have some bug in "orderclosereliable()"----always try to close orders placed by the other EAs.

The Mackerel is virtually the same as THG 1.6, but with a stab at reliability improvements.

When you put on a trade, *the trade may be invisible to the order history for a few seconds or longer*!! This does NOT occur in backtesting and neither do the various failure modes for trade/select functions.

It is not like programming a normal language when you're pretty sure all the elementary functions work right all the time.

I have similar result for HG 1.6 for the passing 2 weeks. My results are a bit worse than yours, but still good to me. IBFX mini live.

Thanks for your updates!

ps, my charvo 2.x sucks seemingly :-(

HG 1.6 seems best for now, who has more findings?

Quoting Middleastern
After 4 weeks letting it run as is, THG 1.6 made a nice 20% ROI. The only alteration I did was reducing the lotsize divisor in the code from 60000 to 40000.
Regarding the exits issue discussed in the previous posts, based on these last 4 weeks of demo testing I dont think this is an issue here. 10 out of the 18 stopped-out trades were just bad entries, so no exit strategy wouldve helped. They just dove straight down to hell.
So we are talking about only 8 perfectable trades out of a total 72 trades.

A nice weekend to you all

No, only here.

How to learn? Like Fox Mulder says: trust no one. "Assume" is to make an "ass" of "u" and "me". Paranoid programming. Remember, the brokers really ARE out to get you. Read the Experts log & Journal very carefully. If you see something weird, there IS something weird. Experiment.

It's probably mine. It may be a bug, but you're supposed to pass in the ticket number to close. It's your job to figure that out right. If you pass the wrong ticket number, tough noogies.

Remember: no excuses.

Been running about 4 of these bots untouched for awhile now. Looks like I must have reset my demo on 3/15 to start fresh.
But stats from 3/15 til present are

THG1.6: 9 wins, 8 losses, -127 pips
charvo1.6: 9 wins, 4 losses, +86 pips
invisibles orginal 3tf: 29wins, 14 losses, +36 pips

invisibles original 3tf on gomarkets: 27wins, 11 losses, +105 pips

I will probably replace the original thg1.6 with the holy mackeral next week, original 1.6 has been unable to make profit for me in many weeks of testing thusfar.
The new 3ema bot is also losing this week for me, but will keep it on test for another week or two to see if it can manage to make profit.
Too many bots, so little time!

thanks, it is relieving to see that my version is not that bad.

only 3 days? look, i suggest you change to another broker's demo. seemingly, maybe, something wrong on your demo broker, because HG 1.6 has produced good results for me too, and many others, if i remember right.

I had it running for weeks previously, but on the same broker.
It's eglobal, same one steve uses for his small live tests, but yes, another broker is in order for sure (i'd never put live money in eglobal anyhow).
Since holy mackeral is thg1.6 but cleaned up, i'll probably toss that on gomarket this week.

Macman,

What settings did you use with MPTM?

If you use mptm for exits does this mean you do not use the usual Take profit figures?

@ Mac Man

Are you referring to these MPTM settings or other ones?

BE @ 15 pips, with 2 pips added
Jumping stop @ 17.5 pips, with 2 pips added
Partial close enabled

No change to original TP level, but you might want to increase this - (needs code change)

Do you have mptm set so that it Jumps after Break Even occurs? That's an option in the Jumping Stop section of mptm.

Thanks

Thanks Macman. I would like to give it a try, but once I started looking at the mass of settings for MPTM I realized I don't know how to set it up with what you posted. I need to study the user guide for sure. But if you would consider posting your MPTM set file you use with THG (or PMing to me if you prefer) it will greatly facilitate my coming to understand not only your settings but MPTM.

Interesting for the original last night(Live FXDD)

Great week up 9.62% and 144 pips

Up 22.41% from Feb 8th start....made back all losses from Mar 9
Hi Dryclean,

Have been following the link of yours:

http://www.myfxbook.com/members/dryc...ean-fxdd/18028

Here's mine:

https://www.myfxbook.com/portfolio/young/20610

As you can see, we have quite a different result. Of course, mine is worse. Your result is encouraging.

I have done a trade activity comparison between yours and mine in excel.

Do you think you can provide your set file for the EA? I really like to use your setting for my live account to achieve similar result as yours.

I'm using version 2.4, no hedging, both buy and sell close upon expiry 300 minutes later, Wave 2 turn off.

My email is [email protected]

Thank you in advance.
