Hi,
Here is a modified version of the Epsilon Megastar EA with some functions from MPTM added to assist with backtesting.
I have added the Break Even and Jumping Stop Loss functions from MPTM.

Hope people find this useful.

Thanks to Steve for sharing this EA with us and also for MPTM.

PeeJay
Thanks PeeJay.

If people find this version to be a significant improvement over my original, then I shall simply copy it over my version and put it into post 1 as the 'official' bot.

I have no updates planned, so let's see how this one pans out and decide towards the end of the week whether to adopt it or not.

Brilliant contribution PeeJay. Many thanks.

This is a heads-up, guys, because I am going to be a bit quiet for a few days.

I have started the next robot - a fib-trading bot that derives its signals from pure price action. The trading method takes that used by EM to a whole new level.

Go to Simone Guy's thread at http://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?t=222988. You do not need to read the thread. View the three videos in post 1 and download the pdf for further reference (I haven't used it yet) then cut to the last 5 pages or so. aswilled is an expert trading this method and he posts fantastic analyses - well worth reading.

Attached is a template that will give you my version of Bo's fib; the levels are the same, and you will be able to follow even though my descriptions are slightly different. The 3 level breech fib needs drawing from top to bottom, despite Simone's insistance that they be drawn differently according to market movement - this is not necessary.

Attached is the first draft of the ea; it does not trade.

All it does is display the monthly/weekly/daily/intraday fibs and attempt to adjust the intraday at each new confirmed hi-lo (not sure this works yet).

I have added it here because it is fascinating to see how the markets consistently respect the higher tf fibs; they are included as an option in the robot as an aid to manual traders. The robot draws fibs drawn from the hi-lo of the previous month, week and day; they remain unchanged whatever the intraday fib gets up to and will not be a part of the automated trading decisions.

There is an input for the 50% breech fib; ignore it - it is not coded yet.

So guys, off you go and view the videos, then play with the fibs - it is good fun.

I see there is some interest in this. Attached is the latest - displays the 50% breech fib on startup, out does not yet move it in response to 50% breaks - that comes later. For now, I have to go out and do some teaching.

There are still no trading functions - no point until I have all the fib drawing/redrawing stuff correct.

If all works properly (highly unlikely) this version should:

 

  1. resize the intraday fib on a new hi-lo
  2. resize the breech fib following a break of the pivot in the correct direction.

Still to come: allow for a breech resize following a new hi-lo in the 'wrong direction'.

This version addresses an algorithm mistake in working out which side of the 50% breech the market is currently trading.

Sorry about this, but if God had intended me to be a program designer, She would have provided me with the skills to construct an algorithm.

She didn't, so She hasn't, so all I can do is struggle forward using trial and error.

Anyone need proof that God is female? She invented men so She could have a Daily Laugh at out antics.

Upwards, forwards and round and round in circles.

Hi Steve,
Just been having a quick look over the code and noticed a small error that will stop the Breech Fib from being drawn.
The 'for loop' that finds the previous Fractal has a wrong conditional, see below:


Inserted Code
     //Find the previous fractal
      for (int cc = 1; cc > Bars; cc++)
     ....

     This shoud be:

     //Find the previous fractal
      for (int cc = 1; cc [b]<[/b] Bars; cc++)
Hope this helps.

As it happens, I had spotted this but do not appear to have posted the fix.

Thanks anyway. Keep spotting those errors. When someone spots something I have missed, it is a huge help.

Fix attached.

Sometime today a trader should hit the scene - just settling in to think about this.

This one trades, and should:

 

  1. adjust the breech fib at each new trade
  2. move the stops of earlier trades to the open price +- 2 of the new trade

The robot has taken two GU trades on demo so far; it looks as though everything is working correctly. We shall see.

Hi Steve,
I think you might thave posted the wrong EA as this does not have any trade functions.
