I think v5.0 is the best one.

The changes we tried to make to v7.0 concerning closing a trade when it closes outside the channel for a losing trade, to try to limit losses is not a good idea.
Apologies to Taiyakixz for asking him to make the changes to v5.0. But sometimes I just don't know if it is a good idea or not until I run the tests.
So it is not a good idea.
V5 is still the best volume we have...
And it is very good actually...

Only thing is v5.0 will not open 2 positions set on 0 pending. So maybe best thing is to stay with v5.0 but just fix it so that it will open 2 positions set on 0 pending.

2nd trade in 3 days.
both good.
This is the robot trading all by himself.
Loving it...
now don't laugh at the apparently insignificant gains.
This setting has a a very very high success rate... At least in back testing.
It now has a 2 for 2 success rate in forward testing..
Only question is why it is not opening 2 positions in live account?
The second position (the one that did not get opened) is the one that has the room to run.
My settings for the account do not block 2 positions.
There is more than sufficient funds..
In the tester it is opening 2 positions...
I see no messages in journal or experts.
It is a puzzle. It appears the expert did not even try to open the second position.
v5.0

I am interested in forward testing this with you on micro acct. Is the last post settings the one you would go with?
Or could you condense settings for 3 best pairs for v5?
Thanks

Hi Billy,
These settings trade so infrequently that I have all 4 set up on vps running continuously.
Idea is to create a basket of settings all running at the same time with similar trading results as these. If each one does 1 or 2 trades per month the sum total of all of them working together will be significant. As long as the settings are "safe". Whatever that means in forex
These have fairly large stop losses compared to the amt of return per trade, but the success rate has shown to be very high over the last 12 months in back test. Like 0 losses!!
So that's the idea.
Don't expect a thrilling ride with these.
Just steady gains.
Have found a similar setting for GBPUSD on the 30 min today. Will post after I put it through the wringer. So now there are 5. If each one trades 2 times per month, that's 10 trades, and if they can average 50 pips per entry (counting both positions) that's 500 pips/month.
that may be a little high for estimation. But that's the idea. I want to find maybe 20 such settings. Slow and steady wins the race...
If this kind of trading is to your liking, welcome aboard.

welcome,
I will keep the settings updated on the main page, the first page, since that is the only page that can be edited for the life of the thread.

Currently I am running simultaneously the 5 settings listed there on v5.
Goal is a least 20 such.

The ea is very versatile.
There are a couple of adjustments to be made that will allow for testing a different approach to trading the channel.

v5 is the best version we have as of now. However it cannot trade 2 positions if setting is 0 pending, and it cannot keep a pending order open for more than 9 or 10 pips.

Waiting on Taiyakixz who is indisposed at present. And hoping I haven't burnt him out with all the past coding modification requests which he has so graciously accommodated.

I have followed Geoff's suggestion concerning modeling issues and it has helped in many cases:
Download the 1m data and then the other time frame data as well and then reload 1m data.
Some how by loading and then reloading the modeling quality improves, most cases to 90%.
It may be some of those errors are removed by the reloading..

I don't see that weekend testing should be a problem for fixed spread brokers like FXDD. But then I wonder if by downloading the data from metasoft which is what we do when we download data, that changes things...

As far as not knowing what you are doing, welcome to the club....

Just a bit of an aside:
Had a funny little bizarre experience over the phone talking to a customer service rep. to straighten out a billing issue for a purchase. I almost couldn't stop laughing. It was so weird. (Like tripping out or something, to use an old phrase). The phone conversation involved more numbers than words. I had a visual hallucination, like a cartoon, and there were only numbers coming out of the people's mouths. The human culture is changing how it communicates. Fantastic sudden rush of insight. Numbers, codes, this is how we are communicating more and more. Chilling... But undeniable. A universal language of sorts... We are designating things by numbers and codes. I have a number. It is more precise than my name at least for the government. Store items all have numbers, model number, series numbers, bar codes, etc. Colors and sounds have all been coded.
The subjective realm has not been coded as of yet, at least not that I know of. Perhaps that is the next breakthrough. Fear, hate, greed, silliness etc, all get coded. They already have emoticons. Whoa... this is way too overwhelming.

100% win is very attractive.
But we have to remember anything can and does happen in forex.
I want to get far enough head so that it is the house money.... when that inevitable loss comes...
I think we can do it with these settings.
But they are slow. We're looking at 1 or 2 trades per month.... per setting..
20 such settings should at least keep us awake.
zipped presets are now posted on the 1st page

Just finished running your optimized preset for GBPUSD. I ran optimizer for GBPUSD almost 15 settings, but it didn't give your settings.
Great work....

will run it again during the week.
checking out your other optimized settings.
