HI STEVE

I know you have been very busy with Epsilon and other things, so I was wondering if you had been keeping up with the Boris`s videos. In one of his videos he mentions that an extra filter for the asian breakout strategy is the 100 SMA. Although I am not trading this bot as yet, I was wondering if this was easy to incorporate into your EA in order to improve its efficiency.

kind regards

Another decent week last week for 2ma macd. My demo using 0.75 atr for tp just about made a profit yet with 45 pips yet the 0.5atr version made over 410 pips. It all depended on the timing of the trades. This lead me to try a setup with 0.1ATR as the tp. One thing I have noticed with running this today is that for instance I have managed to get 2 successful trades on EURJPY although the third one it has opened is in drawdown. Compare this to the 0.5 version which opened the same EURJPY, never got to its tp and is now in drawdown. I guess whilst using the smaller atr has still resulted in the trade going against me eventually I have been able to bank 2 profitable trades in the meantime whereas the version with higher tp never got a profitable trade.

Has anyone any views on the sleep until function. Clearly with mine set at only 60 mins I could be taking multiple trades using the same entry conditions as the first, infact 3 trades today using the same candle. I am still looking back over 5 bars so not sure if i should extend the sleep function for 20 hrs (to avoid using same entry conditions) as this would more than likely slow down the trades a lot.

Paul,

My 2MACD started off really really really well. Of course that was a hard trending market in a good direction.

Now, it is basically breakeven and I have been optimizing and backtesting. Thanks for sharing your settings.

I will post when I find something inspiring to share, but thank you for sharing. I have backtested quite a bit and finding that this EA is slighly positive, but nothing to get excited about..... YET...
We are our own best indicator.

How are you backtesting as I seem to recall Steve saying you couldn't backtest with a multipair ea?

Paul
I copied and pasted the code into a new .mq4 file. Then I named it 'single pair' blah blah blah

I edited the pairs to just the one. Then, when you backtest, you can change this setting in the EA settings dialogue on the strategy tester.

Maybe this is why I always have losers on the testing...

If you do run it with all the pairs, it will basically blow up.

Steve,

Thanks so much for all the EAs you have created and shared with us.
And thanks to all that contributed to this thread.

I have discovered that if using 4 digit broker;

In the 2MA MACD; I have to adjust accordingly the input
under the Jumping SL section, the BE profit.
If I leave it as 100, the EA will not adjust it to 10
with 4 digit broker.
I have to change it to 10.
All the other inputs are adjusted by the EA, but not this one.

Cheers

the solution for this must have been posted a zillion times on this and other threads. Either use firefox or another browser (Not IE) or go to the top right hand corner of the post on this page and look for "attachments" with a paprclip icon. Click on it and download the attachments from there.

Good luck

Did the breakout ea ever get fixed?

Which batch of ea's listed in post one are working best now?


I loved the breakout ea but after his last repair many months ago it stoped working for me.

I am not 100% sure but I think you mean template files.

They go in Metatradaer --> Experts --> templates

Once you have done this right click on the chart in Mt4 then go to Template and click on Load Template and select the required template (2 sma mcd).

I have the templates in correct file, but the EA doesn.t post to chart, still need to know which folder (expert, indi, script) to load the set file too. it's not doing much good in my document download file???

Hi guys

few things. we tested the 2sma macd and long term they are not profitable. tpl files go to your metatrader directory / templates and not the template sub directory of the experts directory. set files are the files which are created by the ea in metatrader when you save the settings.

if you are looking for a good system look at steves threads and the nanningbob ea.

best of luck

Set files go in the experts\presets folder.
