Would some one be kind enough to explain how to set the Bressert Levels for this EA.

Reading this thread I found some by discussion XUX about the setting being a value from 0 to 100. And a Reply saying "Oh, so if I set it to 20 I'll get levels of 80/20."

The manual says the trades are opened long if DSS is below 100 and short if DSS is above 0.

If seems to me that what you want is long if the indicator is moving up from below 20 and short if the indicator is moving down from above 80.

So, how can I set the expert to enter only long below 20 or better still below 20 and rising? How can you enter short if above 80 falling?

Thanks in advance.

Set DSSBressertLevel to 80 so that long trades are opened only if DSS Bressert is below 100-80=20 and short trades only if DSS Bressert is above 80. Additionaly set DSSBressert to 1000.

Would someone be kind enough to post the most successful setfiles so far.



Thank you I hope someone would share his favorite setfile.
I have some big machines for backtesting.

Thank you much

Hi,

Is there a reason no one here is sharing backtesting results and the ones doing the test keep it private?
That is sad. I always share my results so others can see the setting sI used to obtain those results from the Strategy tester.

There is really nothing here to use that helps you. I read the manual tells very little. So I do hope someone would kindly share some test results . I think that 's the idea when you have a eA here then you have many testers to fine tune it. With everyone on their own and no one shares you then why even have a forum to start with.

I test many EAs ans designed a few myself and I can tell you that the settings on this ea tend to be difficult to say the least so many almost endless possibility this is why we share..

I ill share my results soon when I have something to work off of..

Thank you
Dean

I was thinking the same thing about sharing set files until I tried to share mine. I am using ODL's Metatrader 4 and quite honestly can't see the set files on my computer anywhere other than than in the expert load screen. When I go into my presets folder it is empty. Same thing with the backtesting - If I want to load a set file it exists in the tester folder accessible through the expert properties window. But if I open that folder in Windows it is empty.

That said, I have had some luck with these parameters -

Default settings except for the following -

DSSBressert change to 1000
PriceChannelStop change to 1100
StopLossPips 60
TakeProfitPips1 change to 100
Lots change to 1.00
DSS_Bressert_Settings change EMA 12 Stochastic Period 14

I ran this on a backtest on H1 EURUSD with ODL data from 12/09 to 4/10. Starting wih $10,000 ended with $22K.

The only problem is that it had quite a few losing trades and drawdown of about 35%. So even though the account doubled; there was point where the $10k was reduced to about $7k. So, these settings are great if you can stand the heat.

I prefer a smoother equity curve. Hopefully, more testing will produce a smoother combination of parameters.

I also tried to capture moves by setting the Breakeven to 50 and Lock In to 20. These were the optimal settings when backtested along with the parameters above. This produced very similar results, however.

It would be great to hear from others. This is hands down a first rate expert with many options.

Thanks for sharing do you have a statement by chance that graph makes no sense to me I only found the setfile in the zip folder? Forget it maybe?. You said backtest from 2006 so that is 3 years plus correct..and on the graph it shows 9 -15k
You mean to say this ran for over 3 years and only made 6k for you ..that's not true I hope..
Thanks

Hi Taipai,

Thank you for your setfile could you make a screen shot of the first page of the strategy tester so I can read the data.

So all the other settings were set to default correct. almost all the settings are 00000
I will run some tests and post my results..
Did you see another poster posted also I would love to see a good backtest going back that far.

Thanks again
Dean

This is a Tuesday why is there no interest in the EA? Did something turn everyone off. This board should be filled with members if the EA works..

This is the result from 4/14 running the set file I posted above. This covers only 4 months not several years. You can see the drawdown I referred to as well as the end positive result.

No I wasreferring to xu99 setfile he said went back to 2006

I also ran yours with your settings and it made like $130
during that time so something is for sure wrong.

I tried to research this before posting but could not find an answer.



The manual states:
If COGDistance is used the distance of price from the central line of Center of Gravity should be greater than the defined percent of the distance between the central line and the nearest upper/lower line.



How do you determine the defined percent of the distance?


I made some very nice manual trades using the Bressert DSS and the COG lines as filters. Just not sure how to implement it in the expert.


Thanks in advance.

For now this EA is very much a work in process and may never become a good one.
It's best to use this indicator as a confining indicator for your scalping..


I make a good living trading my own EA. This is how a graph should look like. Using a .02 lot size it's low risk. the max dd is 22% over 14 months. I can put on a chart and just let it go and not touch for a year and my account would never get close to blowing..
The graph is from Feb2009 to April 14 2010
