Back test just April

Alpari UK
27 Trades
No Loss, 100% won
My April back test on Fxpro: 24 trades, one loss on the 2nd of april (went long on a swing high)
Strange...
I'll try on a Alpari UK account to compare...


Edit: same chart Alpari+2/Fxpro+3... What's your gmt offset?

Hi all,

I still confused about GMT setting, I used broker FxOpen and live in Malaysia. Should I change the GMT setting to 8 or just use default?

If this was a demo account tested today the spread will be 8, during the week it is less than 2.

Hi guys! I've been trading the original trading method for some time now, it is extremely profitable, but I have some issues with EA's...
I am aware of the effect that profitable EA's have on retail brokers and the problems that automatic generated orders face with a dealing desk system.
Can someone post some entry examples based on the rules that the EA's use???
The original thread is now huge, and that is completely understandable, a whole profitable system was developed there, I of course plan to read it completely in order to understand how when and why, but that will only be possible on my vacations (next week!!!).
Now I have some ideas I want to test during the weekend and it I would be very grateful if someone could post those original manual rules with some screenshots.


Thanks in advance!

Hi Geoff,

I have the same problem as Couton in the Simple H1 tread. No trades due to Error # 0. The EA camvcvoo V2a, tried about 10 times to place the sell order, but the brokers server would not except. I use JadeFX. I guess ?? On my chart the MM 0.00% with all default settings All other simple H1 vers. have traded for me and I have other EA's trading also. On those charts MM 10.00%. I find this the best EA I have ever used. Back testing works great. Also on the screen MM 0.00% also is indicated. I will now up grade the MT 4 226 ver. and reinstall everything and be ready for next week. Any other sugestions. Thanks for you help. I hope I did not spoil your diet.

Hi joet!

This is a very strange problem, especially as you are already using the other version, this EA uses exactly the same code to place the orders!

Couton has solved one problem by getting married!

I suppose there is no chance, seeing that you will be placing several orders at once, that your account can't meet the margin requirements?

I'm clutching at straws I'm afraid!

Hi Orcinus!

Earlier today I added a few notes in post #1 on the other thread about manually trading this strategy however, I must re-state my own position, I am no expert at manual trading so, true to form, I have passed the buck (no pun intended) and asked people to look out for posts from members such as calstock who have found success manually trading the strategy.

I hope you find what you are looking for!

Hi Geoff,

I do not think my present wife would approve of another woman for me. Maybe a little extra pay and benefits would not hurt. Do you show the MM on your screen as MM 0.00%. I have not had that before. I will reinstall everything and try on another broker too. I normally download the file with thw mq4 extention. I will try the one with ex4 this time. Who knows. Thanks have a great weekend. Hope the weather in the UK is great for you.

If you are using Manual_Lot_Size true and Money_Management false the MM % has no effect on the operation of the EA.

If you are using MM then you must also select Low, Med, High or Vhigh Risk, with Vhigh Risk you type in the risk % that you want to use.

BTW. If you are just wanting to use the EA you should only download the .ex4 file and put it in your experts folder.

The .mq4 is the source code to give people who understand coding the methods used to generate the trades.

Hi Geoff
I had very good results with this superb EA last week
Friday it enters the trade after 8 retry ( very well design option)
perhaps it would be a good idea to place the same retry order for close orders
what do you think?

Hi gir!

Close orders are no problem because they are picked up on every cycle of the program so they can't escape!

Also, the SL & TP information is sent to the broker when we place the order.

Belt and braces, as they say!

Yes, this is a problem I have noticed myself, it is on the third order which doesn't actually have a trailing stop but the stop does trail the price and eventually protects it from going below +10 where it closes it.

I need to check the code in this area and see if I can come up with a better way!

Hi Geoff,

Is it possible to do a normal trailing stop for order 3 as with the other 2?

On my backtest I had about 8000 modified orders for just one transaction where the trailing stop constantly moved back and forwards.

The only reason we added the third order was to reduce the number of times the trailing stoploss gets hit on the second order, it would kind of defeat the object if I put a TSL on it now!

Besides, I have found out how to stop it doing multiple modifies and will be releasing the new version as soon as I finish testing!
