Simone Guy's 'Simple and Consistent Fibonacci Method'

I know you are not a fan of backtesting but I have run simone on GU since the beginning of the year (current version that is). The results aren't great but I noticed that she is only trading short despite the settings allowing trade long and short. I know the previous versions traded some long but then the fibs weren't redrawing etc so their backtests are no good. Perhaps you could look into this. I have attached my strategy report.

The previous versions I have been using were placing longs as well as shorts. I have turned the RSI filter off. Overnight I ran a backtest on GU from Jan 2009. By this morning it had got to the end of October 2009 and still only traded short. Again the RSI filter was turned off. I have attached my stategy report. There definately appears to be something wrong with current version. Either that or I have made a simple mistake which is so obvious I can't see it. My settings are in the strategy report.

The fix is in post 1. My mistake was a simple one but it took some finding. Code blocks go inside those infernal curly braces. The line of code that should have read if (!CandleBreak) {TradeAllowed = false; return;} actually read if (!CandleBreak) return; {TradeAllowed = false; return;} which meant that the final return always operated and the long trades did not happen.

Nice piece of nagging Paul.

When I try to compile the EA I get the following error message:

'timeRelated_test' - function is not defined Crogram FilesMIG Bank Trading StationexpertsSimone.mq4 (271, 60)

I have the time related & simone stuff in the expert/include folder.
Not sure what to do with the Nick Stuff, please advise.

Also, I can't attach it to any charts of 3 different brokers.

Thanks in advance.

Looks like the Intraday fib is not being reinitialized on the day change.

The Breech Fib does not hold the high or low of the day and constantly resizes the end points when it should hold either the high or low and change based on previous lower or higher fractals and the realized trend.

Pat,

As of now, with an initial run on EUM15, it tends to buys highs and sell lows with htf rsi period 60 as well as 15.

I replaced all the files as you posted. I compiled Simone.mq4 with know errors. Now every time I open the platform - it crashes. This is happening on 3 different brokers.

Is anyone else having the problem? Does anyone have a suggestion? Is the original Simone on Post #1 working? I may have to go back to that for now.

Thanks for any help

I have a guess at why some people have problems with MT4... Whenever I download a file with a space in it, I have to rename it because the download creates a %20 instead of a space. For example I get simone%20stuff.mqh Nick and Steve, it might be a good idea to minimize the space in file names and use an underscore or capital letters to emphasize names. Just my small 2 cents of input but it may be a problem for others as well.
