It works on 4 digits, 5 digits and ECN brokers. For NFA brokers set Hedge to false and MaxOrders to 1.

Any idea why this won't backtest/optimize using dukascopy tick data?
I had plans to spend some time running optimizations, as I have about 3 years of tick data to work with, however it just doesn't take any trades at all.
I have even converted every timeframe for the ea's use, still nothing.

What data did you guys use for optimizing your set files provided?

Hey Taz,

Same path I was going to take next; Looks like you are a little ahead of me.

i will keep testing both with the 720 min close and without but the account without is performing much better at this point. although both versions of SSS are struggling with some DD at this point

Getdown: Could an exit be structured to occur with a simple aqua/magenta shift? I think the opposite signal option requires more. Thanks, Glenn

Hi Getdown,

i have SSS running on a demo account for a few days but i also use that account to test another strategy, therefor i have all trades mixed. i can identify which ones are of SSS because of the number of lots and today, while looking at the results i saw that the EA only buys?!?

surely not normal. should i remove it and reinstall it? or just the settings file?

thanks
dreams do come true.

Here is my Demo account results with FXCM running since April 1st.
I am running sss103 with default 30min presets. There were a couple of trades open for more than a week!!! (Closed with profit though but with considerable DD) but i think i has something to do with the changing of hours here at my part of the woods....

There 2 ways filtering by trade comments or by magic number. Either way can get you over the line.

All buys ? Quite possible (whilst a trend is underway) as the EA uses multiple timeframe entry/exit logic which may appear to going against trend in the short term, however when you zoom out to larger timeframes, you see that the trend is quite clearly in 1 direction (with minor retracements etc..)

Can anyone tell me if this ea has a global stop loss because exactly 12am 31st March all trades closed out for around -800 pips. Those pips were the difference between a profit or loss for the month.
Going by the time and date I somehow think the broker had something to do with it.

There is no global stop loss in the current set files is active.

SL is handled by indicators only. The midnight liquidity spikes must have taken out indy based exits. (very rarely seen but possible)

I suggest getting a new broker. What is the broker you are using for this demo ?

hi,

iam using 1.03v SSS , getting some wat good results. my method is like- "human instructing the EA what it has to do in the present live market".
i will explain my method here.

iam using 1min time frame in USD/JPY pair.

i have not changed much settings - the changed setting are below

DSS Bresert- 1000
the other indicators all - 0000 ( not using them)

SL- 30 pips
closeAllProfit- 5%
money management- true
Leverage Percentage- 2.5%
lotsPercentage- 0.001
lots- 0.001

----------------------------
when the market is reaching support and it is in the distance of 20-25 pips to that pivot support ,i add this ea to usd/jpy 1min chart with the above setting and sellect " only longs" option.
wat it does is - when markets falling quickly to that support from this 20-25 pips distance ,it takes several buy positions , when market bounce from the support and the profit reaches 5% of my balance ,it closes all my open long positions.

same with the resistance zone as well ,when reaching resistance, i take "only shorts".

when EA closes all my positions , i remove ea from the chart and wait for the market to reach next nearest support or resistance to add this EA again to the chart with the above settings.

As of now its giving good results... as i told you earlier iam using only DSS Bressert indicator for the signals..

Hi human_&_Auto,

Thanks for the alternate setup sounds great and we can't wait to test.

Please post your set file (use .txt format)

Thanks,

Hello everybody,

It is good to see so many forward tests!

It would be great to have some more variations tested, such as human_&_Auto, or using the wide arsenal of tools that is supplied in this great EA. I feel we are only using a fraction of what is possible with this versatile EA, and more people could find other avenues that may work.

Here is another idea, which i guess we would have to test manually first as I believe it is not in the EA yet.

I call it a 'Ratchet Strategy'.

Let me explain. Most trade management strategies for baskets or multiple trades are targeted at net profit (or net loss). If the account equity exceeds the account balance by x amount, then you are happy with some good profit and you 'Close-All', and start anew.

Another approach of dealing with longer open DD in SSS could be a 'Ratchet Strategy'. You don't care about positive net equity. All you care about is your growth of equity. If equity exceeds a previous equity high by an acceptable x percent or $, then simply close all and start new. This way you can ratchet yourself up even if the EA is in constant open DD as measured by a higher balance and lower equity. But that is fine as long as the equity is growing.

I would be interested if anyone would like to try manually, or has seen a tool somewhere that we could attach to a chart in the account where SSS is active.
