geoff,
1. So due to your latest testing, you are now setting a trailing stop loss of 19 once your first profit target of 60 is hit? Am I understanding this correctly?
2. On your SMA 16... Is this simple, or smoothed, and what is applied to? (Close, open, etc.)
Thanks, I just wanted to some manual eyeing of the charts.

Looks Great Geoff!

Have you experimented with different SLs? I was looking at the results report and when you hit a SL it wipes out 4 or more of the previous trade profits. The Risk/Return is around 6:1, kinda scary. But I still like the looks of the results you are showing. If there was a way to minimize those drawdowns, it could be incredible.

Thanks much for sharing and for your efforts!

Hi Bob

In the latest test I only placed 1 order with TP 60 and SL 120 and TSL 19
there was no second order with this setup.

The 16 SMA is Simple applied to Close, this value, along with the TP, SL and TSL was arrived at by the optimiser.

Hope I have explained it correctly!

Yes, all the settings were arrived at using the optimiser.

Actually these results are already far better than most of the commercial robots that I have bought from Clickbank in the past 12 months!

I know, I keep mentioning robots that I have bought, but it hurts!

Geoff,

On the latest version, do we still start 1 HR after the close of the US session?

AhAh! Another sucker for clever Ad copy!

We should start a junk-yard thread for all the unwanted robots, RIP.

No, the latest version starts with the beginning of the Tokyo session, if you are with Alpari time, this is 1:00.

I am on Interbank FX. Right at the very beginning of the Tokyo session? Or 1 HR in? Also, is this just the GU pair still? Thanks!

Right at the beginning of the Tokyo session and still GU only.
I haven't had time to look at other pairs yet!

Hello guys,
I just backtested this system for 2009 using Dukascopy's historical tick data (99% modeling quality) and results are little worse than expected...

I tested both geoffb's and Steve's EAs with default settings using different start_hour:
- 22:00 (NY close),
- 23:00 (NY close +1),
- 00:00 (NY close +2, Tokyo open),
- 01:00 (NY close +3, Tokyo open +1).

Also, for anyone testing geoffb's EA, please set "Show_Settings" to "false", otherwise this EA takes 3 seconds naps once in a while, which results in unnecessary slowdown when backtesting.

@Steve:
I can't sent you PM, so I'll write it here. You've got programming error in your code, in TrailingStopLoss() function "if (digits == 2 || digits == 4) TrailingStopPips/= 10;" is called every time for 4digit brokers, which means that after few calls TrailingStopPips is set to 0.
Also, TrailingStopPips is already divided by 10 in the init() function, so this line is totally unnecessary.
