Okay, I have two 5 digit demo accounts, one with IBFX and one with DeltaStock, and tried forward testing it on both, and both appear to work correctly. Can you be more specific about the setup you are using? ... and, although I tried it with a different version (V1.1C), I don't think it should make any difference.
hi ec,

thank you for 1.1 C, i think all working correctly...

i use ibfx demo mini account, mostly the setup i am looking for is make a trap between 50-70 pips for euro/us(gap between buy and sell pending)... and trying small SL combine with trailing and will get the result one take profit is more bigger than one SL...

the result actually depend how lucky we are when the first time to start because it is really depend the price action only to maximize the profit when there is opening....

some months will get a good result, some bad month will give you 90% loss... because too small SL... even with power lot can get you 600% in a month with a thousand bucks.

it is depends the setup and the price action....

but with all of those feature to mazimize the profit, i believe getting more chances to win... especially when use only small trailing target. win small but continouesly win all the time that will give a good result...

it will trap the price action and trapping the profit with trailing and time out...

Wow, the Euro has dropped by almost 250 points against the Yen over the last day or two, and the USD almost 100 points. It's too bad I couldn't hold on, I probably would have recouped most of what I lost. But, I just wasn't prepared to take the risk. I really want to try and avoid this, not unless I can find a way to offset it.

Oh, I did get a chance to work on the hedge option over the last two days and, I did get it to work, but so far the results aren't that good. I have one more thing I'd like to try, and then on to the indicator, I think? ... Hopefully I can get something going there.

hi ec,

so how is your real account doing?
  • #225
  • Apr 11, 2010 7:56pm Apr 11, 2010 7:56pm
My real account? No, I haven't traded in the last week-and-a-half or so. I lost over $325 before I finally opted to close out.

Right now I'm adding the finishing touches to the hedge option. You and juannie keep an eye out on your Yahoos. I might be sending it shortly.

Oh well, easier said than done. I had most of it working, I thought, then I started having problems. Now I think I have it working (more or less), but I still need to add one more thing. And, of course I can't get it to work ... so, who knows?

Sorry guys, but I just can't get it too work. I've been spending way too much time on it as it is, and I need to take some time off to do a few other things. I actually thought I could get it to work, but now I can't say ... except that it's getting more and more complicated. Neither can I say when I'll be able to get back to it, but I really do need a break from it all.

Thanks.

  • Apr 16, 2010 5:20am Apr 16, 2010 5:20am
Okay, check your Yahoo! I now have four time outs and one reset. It appears to be working correctly.

Let me know how it goes.

Thanks.

Okay, it looks like there's a problem with the multiple time outs. It initializes too early and closes out before it gets a chance to close out on take profit. It should close out "after" target is reached, not before.

I think I have fixed this, however, I just realized it closes out too early (sometimes it does, sometimes doesn't) when there is more than one order open and the first order closes out successfully. Basically it does a "Close All" and closes all open orders at the same time, which it's not supposed to do.

I'm not sure what's causing it, but it only does it when you select Order_Time_Out option. So, it's a good place to start.

Will keep you guys posted.

Thanks.

Hi tulipevierge. Long time no see! It's weird that you can't back test it. I've been testing it on a 5 digit standard demo (not IBFX) and have had no problems. Maybe this is why you can't get it to work? I've gone with a different broker, because I'm working on the hedge now and IBFX won't allow me to do that.

hi ec,

nice to see you again too ec, still testing but i don't know how to screening the position with the setup.... every testing have different result, mostly back forward to break even...

ok, it work with other broker when back test on 5 digit.

but when do power lot=true, it open only first order and later no more opening...

when power lot=false and put lot option 2.

did you notice sometimes the lot opening is too big ec? i don't know because use multiplier or lot option(2).... i think because lot option 2, sometimes multiplier i use is still 1.

example, buy lot=1 it can go lot size 624.70 , when start only with $ 1000 .

but when use no power lot, i think c is the best ec

hi ec,

check this result, it can survive a long time with the time out setup, it flow with unpredictable movement price action....

it can win because SL is less than TP.... from jan 1, 2010 to today, more than 344 opening... that is sign for survive forex price action...

the time out roving and reset roving and slip adjust, it help to reset everything and starting with new start to do new opening.....

the price action is unpredictable, and this EA too work unpredictable....

take a look at the setup, i sent you by email, that is the best one, many of them only go forward to break even or minus...

Screening? What does that mean?

Sounds like it might be a conversion issue.

With the current setup or, just on a 5 digit broker?

when power lot=false and put lot option 2.

Actually it's been so long since I've worked with anything other than option 1 that can't say. Sorry. I never did get either options 2 or 3 setup to my satisfaction, because there are too many other things to do. I was experimenting more than anything else here.

Yeah, that's way too high.

Yeah, the power lot option seems to work better with "straight" setups. I noticed it doesn't seem to make much difference when using the hedge option as well. Of course I really won't know until I'm finished working on it.

Hey, it looks promising.

So, how many orders do you have open at one time here? Just one? I assume this is so because you are setting the stop loss.

Okay.

So, what is this ".set" file that you sent me? How did you create it and how do I open it up? Also, can it be used to open the EA using those parameters? I have seen other folks using these files, so I'm thinking maybe yes.

hi ec,

to screen less opening, i use offset lead and lag, it will give more gap between buy and sell pending order, it means less opening, i always try between 50-70 pips between those buy and sell to make a trap....

it's on 5 digit broker ecn, it can work back testing but no work with ibfxx...
i use no hedge.

hi ec,

it is only one open at the times.... because i use small SL around 20...

with bigger SL, it will give a good result too when do averaging.
especially with SL=1000, the problem is the equity is not enough to open more than 2 opening when is minus around 30% (start up 1000 with power lot=false)
the problem sometimes it will blown up the account... with the high return can 200-400% in a months but need a lucky times first when it starting...

it is better use bigger SL for averaging than small one...

this chart is the one with SL=1000 from jan 10 to today.

to use set file, put the set file at expert/preset folder and load it to back test or forward test... i created just saving my set file when do a back test...
