Yes , you are correct, but I have been backtesting some time back, and I still cannot get a buy trade, maybe something I am doing wrong.

First of all i want to congratulate sashasan and Geoff for this great EA.

That said, i've been testing this version of the original Geoffs EA, and found something strange, apparently, whe AllowOnlyOneEnterPerHour is set to false, no trades are generated. Is this supposed to hapen?

I am using a FXDD live account, and here is an example of the what i mean. The annex is with the AllowOnlyOneEnterPerHour set to true. when i set it to false, maintaining everything else, no trade is made for the same period.

I found if I opened a standard demo instead mini demo I could get more history for back testing. But still having a tough time getting a good back test.
Where did everyone go here

Well my auto trade on the pound did great today,
made 110, 50 and 20 pips.
I am using version 4.5 still because I cant figure out the more recent versions and what options to use.
I was wondering what others are using, what settings ?
I am also using EA on yen and euro.
I hope we can keep this EA going here, I believe you all have put so much work into it so far, I don't want to see it die out.
I know I haven't put to much input into it, i been trading forex for 3 years, but i'm very new to working with EAs and still learning a lot.
I hope everyone is doing good.

Hi v5,3 users.

I've been trying fireup v5,3 and I can't get it to work
on FxPro-demo.
My setting;
UseWorkHours -false
OpenOrders 3,
TP1, TP2, TP3,SL, = default
TrailOrder2/3= default
TrailingStop2/3= default
Order2/3BeLevel= 5
PendingOpenStep,SecondLimitOpenStep,= default
MovePendingOrder=true
ManualMode=false
OrderPlacementCode=4
OrderTrailingOption=2
ECN=true
Reverse,SMAx4,M15Fract,M5Fract,M15Fract2HourOnly,= default

The indicator doesn't show any direction.
I'm a bit confused and I hope for some help, please.

Great thanks in advance.

Great...
Do you have your EA turned on on the top of platform and a happy face in top right corner of chart, then your properties should come up on left top corner of chart.

Hi Kauaibobby.

Thanks for response, I already run v5,0 and v5,1 without any problem.
only v5,3 no react, maybe waiting for set-up.
Hmm. will see later.

I am still on V 4.5
Newer versions have a lot more options and I am still not sure of all the setups that I should be using, was wondering what properties everyone else is using and there results.

This version has never triggered any trades for me when all the SMAs in agreement and both fractals formed. I've never brought it up as I think that Sasha has long given up on this thread. Anyway, I'm still running live with v.3.8 with manual v.3.5 scripts and able to survive in today's volatile markets.

Hi.

It is covering 13 M5 candles ( 1 hour period of time) where the set of fractals came from;
""""-- original system description
this is a Tokyo session breakout system, it uses 2 smas - 10 and 197, and 2 sets of fractals, from M15 and M5, to enter a trade, which must be made between 23:00 and 0:00 by GMT.""""

In this version this set can came from every hour around the clock.

Please see post #1.
or I'm wrong ..then sorry.

Regards

Mac.

Sorry I did not do this sooner, but I ran a test for 2010 this morning and I see what you mean.

Whenever the 197 points up it stops trading. It will draw the fractal dots on the chart, but it always says:

M5 ^ NOT CALCULATED
M15 ^ NOT CALCULATED

So it can't trade.

Of the 462 trades, it won 87%, but it did not quite make money for the year. Getting close though.

I tried SMAs 400, 197, 49, 10. Testing data from 2010, the 10 K account more than doubled at one point and ended up with $16115. 89.5% of the trades won. Still only buy trades.

The PA pushes well beyond the TP much of the time.....

Lot 1 = 1.0, TP 30
Lot 2 = .5, TP 60
Lot 3 = .1, TP 90

This reduced the win rate to 86.2% and the net result was $9326, a small loss. Still, it kept going for 9 months.

  • Sep 18, 2010 2:42pm Sep 18, 2010 2:42pm
A TP of 30 on all lots produced a win rate of 87.22% and an account of $15576.

Thank you, I will give it a try.

I just tried TP of 50 on all three orders with my set file and the win rate was 83.2%. The account went up to over $20000 and then back down to $11175.

With Forex Meta I got an 85.4% win rate and final balance of $8163. Short trades only, no buy trades.

So far my best results have been with a 400 SMA.
