I'm in the middle of an 80 hour work week so I haven't been able to do any more testing. When blue gets time I'm hoping he can come up with an EA so we can back test easily. Chi mentioned the MACD shifting. That does make it more difficult to back test manually. I've been running SteveHop. auto trader(on a demo) and the MACD line with his template doesn't shift. If you use the correct settings you can get it to trade the setup I'm after. I have it set to only take #1 and #2 trades. It's made three trades so far . First trade TP'd for 100 pips and trades two and three are in solid positive territory so far. Problem is, it wont trade on the back tester as I said earlier. So blue, we're counting on you to come up with an EA that we can back test. Chi I hope you're on a demo.

Guys, can I get your opinion on this. Should I be advancing the chart to where it rests in real time (with autoscroll on) before looking at the 6th line and RWB lines? Or should I look at the 6ths and RWB with price all the way at the right side of the chart when back testing? If I'm doing it wrong, my back testing might not as accurate as I thought. This is why we need an EA we can back test.

= #2 EA

check out the attached manuals on post 1
I am aware of the manuals and of how the EAs are designed to work. I'm asking if someone would be able to code the #7 EAs to only enter on a cross of the 1MA above/below the BBs.

So on a #7 sell, only enter the trade when the 1MA value is less than the upper BB value. On a #7 buy, only enter the trade when the 1MA value is greater than the lower BB value.

I have tried to do this on my own using copy/paste methods from the old EAs, but I haven't been able to get the EA to enter any trades. If anyone knows how to do this please let me know, thanks.

I can do it, but I think Mart is going to do it. Honestly, I would bug him about it one more time...

his code is so nice, I would hate to screw anything up as he is going 7 ways to sunday!

Yes, the sixths version that works best is the one that slides up and down, up and down as you scroll horizontally.

You need to start from the past, moving forward with the date you are testing all the way to the right.

I made some basic setting changes in the Steve EA, but it wouldn't take trades in Backtest, so I asked Steve to double check my settings. Same problem you have it seems...

IF I get time this weekend, I can come up with something, but I have a test for my CTA this next week, so that is my priority... Plus it seems 2 kids feels like 20....

haha...

Shoots... I closed out after +20 pips... I was down like 60 pips, so I guess I got a lot of that move! I chickened out ... Had to eat dinner and it just hasn't been getting to my 40 BE lately! haha....

Ride your losers, cut your winners right....

EDIT:

I am being cautious on counter-trending anything JPY.... LIKE EURJPY... CHFJPY, AUDJPY etc...

i would be really cautious to put any EA that would trigger a sell trade on the u/j.
RWB might be really tight because of the surge but the pair remains volatile. i'm less than 20 pips away from 85 and speculations are going around that it might even reach higher.

scalp a few pips for now.. put a tight stop loss.

yes. i am still in it. i took this trade with the macd not at the bottom. i regretted taking the trade.... but now.....it's almost 200 pips in profit.

do u think i should have taken this trade? after i took it, it kept going down. at one point it was -100.

the only reason i didn't cut loss or take profit was because i used i mini lot, so i didn't care that much. if it were at a bigger lot size, i would have accepted the loss at some point.

i still don't think i should have taken the trade. the macd wasn't down there deep enough.

thoughts?

Just woke up to find it +187 pips in profit. I thought I was dreaming first. Took the profits instantly

I am not complaining obviously, but the strange thing is that I set the panel's TP3 to 80 so I'm really surprised how it kept going. I will spend time today going through the logs as the TP/TSL on the panel still confuses me big time.

What ever happened though I'm happy!

how interesting..... hmmmm..... it's very new to me. i read it. and downloaded it.... hmmm.

it seems to me, this renko idea.... you will be taking, very, very few trades.

do u think it best we just keep trading bob's system and wait for his incorporation of renko at some point. if he's working on it now, there will be something within 6 months i'm sure.

thoughts?

When I saw you were from HONG KONG I guessed as much. It is in the blood and there is nothing you can do about it. You should visit the "Simple RENKO System thread" and look for Steve hopwood`s pure candle autoentry robot. As soon as he posted it I commented that it reminded me of Punto banco (Baccarat) and evens on the roulette. You should try it at the moment I am demoing it.

Kind regards
P.S. Just thought if you made a profit casino gambling you will make profit tradinf forex, since the former is much harder than the latter.

AUDJPY, CHJPY and EURJPY are all perfect EA2 setups. Any one activating EA2 on them? I am tempted! I have switched on AUDJPY thinging there is a big gap between 1MA and BB that by the time it crosses back it should have run out of steam. Or am I wrong?

hi Chiba_san,

i'm just a newbie so take this with a grain of salt. Based on what I've observed the MACD does not perform well at rock bottom prices. It's really slow and takes a long time for the MACD line to even reach 15. I did however notice that on most instances it did go down further below 15.

By the way, apparently BOJ are saying the intervention is not finished yet. USDJPY still seems to go north.

i would guess they're aiming for atleast 86-87

billions of dollars to intervene? 85 simply just don't cut it. like they said, this "could" be just the first wave.
