I tried my theory for a couple of hours and the results look interesting. The lot size and TP are too small but I was just mucking about testing it out.

We shall see what happens when the markets open Sunday/Monday.

Have a good weekend all as I am off to several casinos todo the real gambling and blow last quarters bonus.

Thanks for that Steve. I have a quick question. In the EA we have entries for:
"Allow1"
"Allow2"
"Allow3"
"Allow4"

I presume these refer to EAs 1to 4, if not please let me know. I will run the EA with only EA1 and EA2, because the entry rules for these are well defined and suited for automated trading. EA3 and EA4 are more subjective and it relies on the user`s preferences, especially EA4 can be triggered anywhere as long as you have a 1x3 SMA Cross, this could be dangerous if unattended.

As you mentioned Scoobs idea of ATR seems to be...
astral,
Yes the allow 1 -4 means EA's 1-4. I am trading it the same way you are with just 1 and 2. I traded it this week with a straight 100TP/100SL and it didn't do well with all the trending. So next week I'm going to use the mptm with a BE +5 setting at +30 pips. And then a jumping stop of 25 pips. I'm still going to use a hard stop at 100 and not going to multi- level. Won't be able to multi-level with 50:1 leverage soon. Have you tried to run that EA through the back tester? It runs very very slowly and doesn't make any trades. I wonder if Steve could address this problem. Good luck

Nope. No idea why this happens, so cannot 'address this problem'.

I love the way people think I can sort out mt4 problems. I received a particularly ridiculous enquiry about backtesting only a couple of days ago. Hey ho; it gave me a laugh.

Given my God-like understanding of all things mt4 related, in my spare time shall I solve the problems presented by achieving freedom from poverty and world peace for all?

Hpw the blue blazes should I know how to 'address this problem'. I am on record many times as describing the mt platform as 'crap'.

Which bit of 'crap' causes the mis-understanding?

c?

r?

a?

P?

Just in case there is still some mis-understanding here, let me state my position with a tiny tad of clarity.

Ready?

Ok?

Pencils at the ready?

Ok, here goes:

MT4 IS CRAP AND THERE IS NOTHING I CAN DO ABOUT THIS

I can state this with more clarity if need be.

If you set ea to manage recovery to true, it wont backtest. if u set it to false it will. It has a flood of order modify error 1s however, while max's does not.

Easy tiger, was just giving a suggestion on a setting that may be set wrong for him. One of the last ea versions had this set default to true, and it threw me off for a second when I tried it, until I noticed it.
Not expecting anything to do anything it shouldnt
(well I take that back, wouldn't mind not setting invalid stop errors flooding, but can't ask for too much)

What exactly is the difference between max's and steve's edit? I understand max's removed the red macd line. What was the scoobs' filter?

this version correct many bugs

AutoCalculation for :
BreakEvenPips;
BreakEvenProfit ;
JumpingStopPips;
TrailingStopPips;
MinimumTargetinPips;
ReEntryLinePips

they are auto calculated for each pair and are a % of the Daily ATR(14days)
this % is user selectable by this variables :

BEPips_DATRMult ;
BEProfit_DATRMult ;
JSPips_DATRMul ;
TSPips_DATRMul ;
MinimumTarget_DATRMul ;
ReEntryPips_DATRMult =1

for exemple, today EurUSd Daily ATR is 113 pips ,so the BreakEvenPips = 113*0.15 = 17 pips
The value of the _DATRMult should be the same for each pair. For exemple, with same value (0.15), today GbpJpy Daily ATR is 180 pips ,so the BreakEvenPips = 180*0.15 = 27 pips
It's no nonsense, because it's very convienient to do not have to set these params for every pair, morover it's a dynamic adjustment when the volatility changes

UPDATE : new defaut values that give better results

ReEntryLinePips use dailyATR and deviation for calculation

I have added a mode #9 that use the KG extreme calculation


For people didn't followed the tread about KG extreme , it's a rather complicated calculation that look Rsi for every pair in a basket and determine which currency is the strongest and which one is the weakest. That give one pair that is Overbought (OB) and one that is OS.


I choose to :
buy the OS pair if other conditions are met (green lines etc...) AND StochH1(5,2,2)<20 and this stoch is rising AND RsiH1<30
sell the OB pair if other conditions are met (green lines etc...) AND StochH1(5,2,2)>80 and this stoch is falling AND RsiH1>70

Recovery :

Can imagine anything you want.....

example, if you choose
RecoveryRentry1Mult =2;
RecoveryRentry2Mult =4;
RecoveryRentry3Mult =0;

that's a 1.2.4 recovery system

if you choose
RecoveryRentry1Mult =2;
RecoveryRentry2Mult =5;
RecoveryRentry3Mult =0;
that's a 1.2.5 recovery system


RecoveryRentry1Mult =1;
RecoveryRentry2Mult =3;
RecoveryRentry3Mult =3;

that's a 1.1.3.3 recovery system

RecoveryRentry1Mult =2;
RecoveryRentry2Mult =0;
RecoveryRentry3Mult =0;

that's a 1.2 recovery system, only one level recovery system that double the lot size

can use fractional, personnaly I use
RecoveryRentry1Mult =1.4;
RecoveryRentry2Mult =1.8;
RecoveryRentry3Mult =2.2;

UseSpreadProtection

If true, Robot will suspend trading if the Spread is > percentage of DailyATR
Input is SpreadProtection__DATRMult
Example: SpreadProtection__DATRMult=0.05, eurusd DailyATR is 100pips, Robot will suspend trading if spread > 5pips

UseVolatilityProtection

If true, Robot will suspend trading if the DailyATR is > MaxATR that is set in init

MaxLotsPerCurr

Robot will suspend trading a pair if 1 of the currency of this pair reach MaxLotsPerCurr
In order to be not too much exposed in the same currency.

TPMode
1=UseSixths
2=UseBol
3=UseAtr

ClosingByGlobalProfit

Will close all trades if (all open trades) profit > ProfitTarget

RentryLinePips (aqua), BreakEvenLine (green if long trades, Red if shorts trades)

You can double click on these lines in order to modify the values
In case of the BreakEvenLine, order TP will be modified if you move the line
In case of manual trades (new trade or manual closing) the lines will be adjusted
Automaticaly.

TimeManagement

Adjust the values MondayStartHour (=7) FridayStopHour( =17)

AvoidNewsHours
If true, the robot will not open new trade 5 minutes before until 5 minutes after news are realeased for major currencies
In order to modify the hours, go directly in the code to modify hours.
Defaut hours are summer Paris Time

UseScoobMod

Will not use any mode Squalou Macd, but Atr scoob idea

AutoSwitchZone

If yes the robot will trade green zone if market is calm or golden lines if market is nervous

AvoidTradingIfObOs

If true will not trade when the pair is OB or OS (use KG)

Max,

Thanks for all your hard work. I will start testing it right away. I have been back testing SH Scooby program...and that is looking very good also. Back test results have improved very well.

Be careful trading the XXXJPY pairs and correlations at market open on Sunday as there could well be further intervention around 1.00am UK time on Monday.

Sorry for your luck. There are too many variables that can be causing your issues and this is not the thread to discuss that. The EA works fine for everyone else and backtests fine so fix your computer issues elsewhere. There have been troubleshooting issues already discussed in this thread including turning ECN on or off depending on your Broker selection so please re-read the thread, if you still cannot get it then try finding your solution elsewhere since there is no issue with the EA itself in regards to it placing trades.

That is a bit harsh SIR. Toothman`s research and backtests has benefited us in the past and I am sure it will in the future. Steve has already said he can not help him but maybe some other coder / trader could. As you know if in this thread anyone posting irrelevant material will be dealt with "Hopwood Style".

Kind regards
