This is what the EA did for me this week. The EA only traded on Tuesday (9/7) of this week but it did very well, making 305 pips ($305) in that time period. It took the rest of the week off. I kept the settings the same as last week except for increasing the lot size from 0.1 to 1.0.
Are you still using just 5000 5 minute bars?

@Ron

Is it possible to modify your's EA as I suggested in the #938 post?
In theory yes. Not sure how I'm gonna do it.

Yes, I know it's supposed to perform better with more bars but it worked for week 1 so I kept it the same.

I'd be interested to hear of other people's results over the past weeks if they have them.

I am using the EA with default setting with lot size at 1.0 and I am not getting any trades. What am I doing wrong?

Nothing out of the ordinary.

The EA didn't find any settings which would meed the requirements you had set up for this hour.

Sorry if i sound like i come form the mountain but i am very impressed that his ea does self optimisation... this could be the Holy Grail EA?
Holy Grail seems to be the most used term on Forex Factory. Anyone disagree?

I am also impressed with the EA and really appreciate Ronald's efforts. Thank you, Ronald. That said, I am also reminded of his words from an earlier post and have no illusions that this is a Holy Grail, though I think Ronald is really onto something here--the idea of self-optimization is tremendously powerful and can be applied to all kinds of systems to improve them. It certainly makes this one superior to many others for that reason alone.

To anyone else with grandiose dreams of 'hitting it big' with this EA:

Do not think for a second that this EA will instantly make you a millionaire. If you think this is the holy grail of EAs, go elsewhere.

Hello Guys,

Which is the last version of this EA?? Anyone mind pointing or posting..

..... I know I have seen the ones on attachment still not sure which is specified as last version..

Thanks

About CloseAll() as a suggestion..

CloseAll() function should be able to close trades that are loaded by EA as long as the user choses to switch CloseAll() to True

if(!IsTesting() && !IsOptimization() && AcceptReject != "Reject" && closeAll != True)
{
MasterFunction();
}

Sabore,

I would recommend reading the thread, starting at page 21 so you make sure you are familiar with the nuances of the system before using it.

Hi Ron

Is it possible to modify your expert for optimization time?
(e.g. on 5 currency pais it started optimizing at 00.00 a.m and on the other 5 currency it started at 00.20 a.m, 20 minutes later)

Can you modify it?

I understand what you're asking. There is an easy, but unstable fix.

Look for the string "00:00" in the code and replace that with whatever time you want.

Hello Ronald.

I don't understand very much the source code, but could you tell me where i can change to optimize just once a week?

Hi

I'm using this EA with settings:

SL,TP 200
MaxTrades 5
Bars 600.000
WR 50
RR 0,4
SS 0,8
Other default

Yesterday this EA made 12 trades, all losses.

@Ron
1)What do you think about my settings? Which values should I increase/decrease?

2) How many profit and loss trades had you yesterday?

Regards

Do you actually have 600,000 bars in history?
