Hi all,

Just want to share my Zigzag EA. I suprised when found that zigzag (at least how i code it as zigzag) give better result when running at M15 than at higher TF. Main core is zigzag, and a little MM. It only works well at GBPUSD, other pairs show erratic equity curve. The attached pic show result from 2007.01.01 to 2010.03.15. I have bad data around 2010.03.

The exit using fixed value. SL at the last leg, TP calculated using H1 st dev.

Waiting for some suggestion on filtering entry and a better exit strats

Hi, nice work. Maybe you could include a volatility filter and a trailing stop that trigger when a certain level (your Tp for example) is reached.

Just two ideas.

You better make a new thread, and explain your programming problems. Dont post on this expired thread...

As a suggestion to your zigzag exploits... I suggest you measure the length of leg 1>2 and leg 2>3

Retracements around fibo numbers seem to fare better

thanks ronald for your suggestion. after so many experiments, i find that trading the bounce on 50/61.8/78.6 retracement measured from zz leg is better than trading the breakout. (well, thats mine, others can be different)

that's why i don't update this thread

I also wrote my own ZZ EA also, based on Paulus' ideas in his ZZ thread.

I find it interesting that I also found I got best results in the 15 minute time frame...
You are in a maze of twisty little passages, all alike.

Hello Sir,

I am running my EA on live account but its not opening any deal. When I have checked its coding in Meta Editor its showing that it is made for only $10,000 account balance.

And my account balance is only $3000 and I want to run that EA on my account. Can you please help me to modify it.

This EA is working only on $10,000 Account Balance and not on $3000. If your account has $10,000 balance then it will open deals otherwise not.

I request you to please check and modify my EA. So, I can use this EA on my $3000 Account Balance.

Also, currently this EA is opening Maximum 8 trades. I want it to open only 7 trades as my account balance is low.

I am attaching the EA here. Please check and reply.

Looking forward for your reply.

Thanks,

Kind Regards,
Ruudraksh

Ruudraksh,
The EA you posted uses martingale and will quickly empty a small account if there is a loss series.

It is also coded to open market orders and will not work with ECN and might also need to fixed for 5 digit pricing.

i don't know but i came to this post. I downloaded the EA and did a backtest on my 99.9% result. it look profitable and it got SL which is good. I am trying to stay away from hedging strategy as it blow accounts sooner or later.

I tried to do reverse engineering to see when it open but I couldn't. Can you tell a bit more about it? it's been 10 years so no sure if someone will reply...
