Indicators development for T101's not very simple method

Hi Don,

Thank you very much for the straight answer regarding the open/close columns of the EA. May I ask just one more thing please. I assume when you say preset files you mean the ones that banana supplied in an earlier thread (.set files)?

I had already downloaded them but could not open them on my computer (I thought they contained settings that you would then enter into the EA manually). If I understand you correctly you should be able to import them into metatrader is this correct? If so I am unsure how you go about this.

I'm sorry if this is seen as a basic question but I have not had a need to do this before. Any pointers would be greatly received.

Thank you for your patience.

Baz.

zznbrm, I was wondering of you could put in the suffix option like you said you had done but didn't do so i can add whichever suffix i want at any broker, not just IBFX min accounts? also, could you make it to where the original pairs are an option as well. some brokers don't have the nzdjpy like dukascopy and fxdd. this thing has a lot of value. thanks again for your coding efforts. they definitely don't go unappreciated!

I think this is the last version I gave you:

http://www.forexfactory.com/showpost...postcount=1162

Which broker is the suffix not working with? If there is a problem you can just update the getSuffix() function accordingly.

For the pairs to be traded...all you have to do is update the gastrPairs array for the pairs you want. The gastrPairs array is populated in initializePairData().

I do not trade this strategy or use the indicator anymore. So, maintaining and updating it is not something I have the time or desire to do. The code is modularized enough that simple changes like suffix and pairs-to-trade should be very simple to make. Best of luck!

zznbrm,

hazelj80 is asking to be able to trade IBFX pairs as well as non-IBFX pairs. The latest indicator you uploaded/posted does not have the option for non-IBFX pairs, and doesn't have an option for the suffix. I changed that and uploaded a changed version. Do you mind seeing if I did it correctly, or maybe you will make the changes asked for? I don't want to step on any toes, I just made the change as requested a little while back. Maybe it doesn't work. Post was: http://www.forexfactory.com/showpost...postcount=1169

You are correct, the version I referenced does not have an option for non-IBFX pairs. I assumed someone could figure out how to make it flexible enough to allow for IBFX and non-IBFX pairs. It looks like you have done that. Do your changes work? If so, you have done it correctly!

There is no option for the suffix stuff...it is handled automatically by the code. I tested it on IBFX and seemed fine. If it is not working for other brokers with suffixes, then look at getSuffix() and update the code accordingly.

We all know that this forum is heavily moderated and FF admin is watching our every move. I have notice that you have attached 2 files that dont belong to you.

The attached files are decompiled version of the .ex4 found at T101 thread. Not only it is disrespectful it is also illegal. This action of posting this kind of files just put you, the thread originator and the FF website in legal jeopardy. Maybe where you come from its legal but not in the United States. I bet if the aggraved party seek legal justice this will amount into millions of dollars and the bad thing is that the FF will be the one sued heavily. You on the other hand will just say you get it from someone else.

I am advising this as a paralegal myself. Do you really want to this to happend or you just removed the files?

We have to be aware of the consequences of our actions here in this forum while the FF admin are allowing us to have fun.

for new reader :

please begin with 2 to 4 pairs , before trading will 14 pairs .
to do that, you must read from the orginal of this method.
if you jump directly to OREST 1.18, you will not understand what the hell it is .
and ask many dump question.

Hi banana9009
Att: all

We are here to learning and helping others. If you have good experience, good trading today because you learned from other and you was keeping to receiving others reply your questions too. So why don't you teach traders directly what you have leaned and your ideas?

I have read this thread all but still don't know how this EA works best (my English is not good enough to understand).

I downloaded the V1.18 here: http://www.forexfactory.com/showpost...postcount=1099 and add setting:
Rules ON=ture
Timeframe=8
Pair to follow=BUY
Slot to occupy=1
Profit in pips more than=100
Profit in pips less than=100
Open long=ture
Open short=true
Open on strong signal=true

as some one teach. But it's not trades.


banana9009 and all,

Could you show me and others how to set up this EA to works best? Could you attach this EA after your setting with instruction how to change setting (change +- pairs and so on)?

Thanks in advance.

put EA v1.18 in MT4/experts folder.

put banana's preset into MT4/experts/preset folder.

in MT4, in Navigator, double-click EA to load to an H4 chart.

before hitting OK, when looking at user inputs, hit load, and choose banana's H4 preset in presets folder.

BTW, on IBFX, I made $200 this week (a couple hundred pips) on a $10,000 demo account with Orest EA v1.18 with this setup. That's 2% gain this week (not even whole week trading). This was trading one mini lot per pair, but at that account balance, I would be trading 2 mini lots per pair, so would have made more like $400. That would make it more like 4% this week gain on account. Better than any bank savings account I've seen. And it was truly simple to do. This is how I want my EA I'm making to work - just work. No special skills needed (well, actually putting the stuff in the right place for MT4 to use is required). Of course, banana would disagree given his latest post.

On MBT, it traded one micro lot, but since profit-locking is not set up as I've explained it can be, it does not scale, and profit was not locked when it should be, and trades were not closed when they should be (given I was trading 0.1, which is a micro lot on MBT mini demo account, while the profit-locking is set for a mini lot each pair, which 0.1 is a mini lot on a standard account, but not on a mini account). So even though I haven't given the exact code, I have given what I put in the code, should Orest want to fix his EA, which would be beneficial to whoever uses it. I don't know if I've posted my MM to get lots (make it scaling too) recently, but I have posted it before on forums. It's basically what I want to risk divided by what my risk would normally be:
(AccountBalance x RiskPercent x (0.01)) / (StopLoss in Pips (per pair) x Pair's Pip value per Lot)

Note: RiskPercent is a user input, and could be e.g. 0.8 (which is 0.8% per pair for this basket, which totals risk of approx. 11.2% for the whole basket trade. You want lower risk, set it to lower risk). For my equation, I need it as a decimal, so I multiply it times 0.01 to get e.g. 0.008.

If these things were fixed, it would have worked on mini account too I think, and much better on IBFX standard account too (because my "auto-lots" equation aka "DonsMM" would be added, where it just has user input lots now).

Hi Don,

Thank you again for taking the time to respond to my previous question. I am pleased to report that I am now up and running

I think that somehow my demo account had got corrupted because I set up a new one and viola problem solved.

Glad to hear of your success this week and I look forward to testing myself next week and will post results as and when.

Thanks again and have a good weekend.

cool.

hopefully any other readers that have the same question can also be helped by my post in the future (if they read it).

I will most likely not post the same information again. That's why I advise anyone that wants nuggets like what I have given, to read the thread.

Regards,

Please check the pairs to make sure the buys/sells are correct for each type (universal, IBFX).

If the suffix is incorrect for certain brokers, you will need to give me specific examples so that I can figure out the problem.

zznbrm,

Looks good to me. I showed comments on my chart on my backtest indicator to check your first column to my column numbers on backtest indicator, and made sure your indicator used same startdate as mine (first actual bar of week on a broker, which varies per broker). Other than some numbers being a little different, they're not that much off. Hardly enough for someone to claim they can't profit with it if they follow t101 rules I figure.

Note the problem in my backtest indicator where some pair names show the same if their value is the same. So one pair seems to be missing. Anyways, the numbers on mine are correct if using faked Ask (using present spread) for Buys. That's the only difference between that and a real IA (other than the problem with pair names displaying sometimes if they have equal values, and that's because I did the sorting, and then matched up the sorted double values with the pair names they go with - well, I did it the best i could).

Good job! Thank you.

There is one change I would recommend. Make it say non-IBFX and IBFX (IBFX is the Universal set/pairs).

Regards,

Don

Comparing the numbers, it certainly looks like the only difference is that I do not include the spread (I simply use the close/bid price everywhere) and the obvious rounding. Other than that, looks like our numbers are in agreement. It is always nice when two programmers get similar (if not exact) results - this is good validation of calculations/algorithms used.

zznbrm,

It certainly is nice when calculations can be trusted, given the nature that math plays in our work

Regards and thank you,

Don

P.S. One thing I love about this is that one can use IBFX pairs, or non-IBFX pairs, and make a good amount of money. no matter which set you used, you'd end up at the end of last week buying all.

Hi Orest,

Many thanks for your indicators, they are awesome forex tools. I try a different method, but using your indicators. Do you think you can install an alert to T101 Dashboard, when the signal (SIG) from the last raw (current column – the left one) changes from Long to Short or from Short to Long? It does not matter if the trend is Long/Short weak or strong, we just should consider the overall change from long to short (no matter if it is weak or strong). Would be something similar with T101_Anchor_Signals_Orest_v1.01, just the signals are not generating by anchors, but by overall signals (Long or Short).

Many thanks for your time and indicators. Kind regards.
