Hi, no, the slow sma is disabled by default on the v7adx, should this be enabled?
v7_adx is what I modified v7 and uploaded without asking Geoff. It isn't official release.
Nevertheless if you want to use it, you can set the parameter as you like.
With backtest 09.05.04-10.05.06,
- default(use_slow_sma=false,use_adx=true) is 97.01%win, total 5224.7pips
- use_slow_sma=true, use_adx=true is 100%win, total 3722.5pips

some brokers such as IBFX include a Sunday bar in their feed. Wouldn't this cuase discrepancies with other brokers who don't when comparing backtests? Just a thought

A Sunday bar will probably help the EA make a better decision, without it we get a gap up or down which does not give the slow SMA enough time to react to a new trend.

Sorry, I didn't realise you were refering to the ADX version!

I will be releasing the EA with the ADX filter but not untill I have had the chance to optimise the settings.

At first glance it looks like the ADX filter will allow us to improve the SL, TP and TSL values so it is worth waiting until I can thoroughly test it and run it through the optimiser tool.

I always prefer to post a new version with recommended default settings!

Good morning Geoff

When You optimize with Alpari time is gmt+2 half year and (I guess) gmt+1 the other half year. Do You think this is a problem?

Hi Elovv
I have used Alpari for a few years and I have been able to check live forward results against demo back tests and they are close enough to give me confidence in the results and to be honest, I'm tired of testing on different brokers.

Alpari testing has served me well so I will stick to them for now!

BTW.
I have added hedge_allowed true/false to the options and when I tested it on Alpari I got the same number of buys and sells with either setting, so it looks like there have been no occasions when hedging was used in the last 12 months.

summer time?
I may be wrong but I believe Alpari is GMT +2 all year round!

Either way on my 12 month back testing with Alpari set at +2 the results for 2009 are very good to say it was such a difficult year!

Hi Geoff

On IBFX the first sunday candle is gmt 22.00
The last friday is gmt 19.00

Does EA look at SMA 10 between friday 19.00 candle and sunday 22.00 canle?
Or it does not take trades because there are no 21.00 candle?

Regards
Elovv

Edit: I look at Alpari, same week start as IBFX. First candle gmt 22.00 (Alpari time 00.00)

Hi Elovv
The EA looks at the two previous candles, normally 22:00 and 21:00 GMT but, in the case of IBFX this could well be 22:00 and 19:00 if these times are GMT.

Thanks for that answer! I guess EA will look for buy tonight. But if I look correct, it must be same for Alpari. Last friday-first sunday/monday candle (gmt22=alpari00)

Sorry for confusing you with my post.

Folks, we should wait Geoff's official release. He has much more experience, so only his released codes are reliable.

I don't want to confuse anyone, my old post is just info. sorry....

V5 & V4 may place a long order but the 197 SMA is still negative so V7 might not trade tonight unless the 10 SMA takes a sudden downturn as well!
