Romano mentions Max's V44. I am not sure which one is in post 1, but I am sure it is not 44. I must have missed a few.

Can someone point me to V44 please, so I can put in post 1?

While backtesting the EA on the first page (Steve's/Simon one), on a 4H chart, a lot of the pairs trade just twice a month. This does not appear to reflect how often the pairs trades for a lot of you during converstion.

MT4 really is shite.

yeah was gonna ask the same thing. backtesting on tickdata for a year period on h4 gu, 21 trades including recovery trades doesn't seem quite right either.
This is using max's latest, with almost everything at default. I haven't run this strategy in forward test yet, but sure seems like there'd be more than 2 trades per month

I have acted on the idea posited by one of my students to whom I have been teaching NB's system.

He is trading manually whilst running this robot on a separate account. He pointed out that I was warning him sternly about the danger of over-trading, whilst at the same time helping him set up the robot on as many charts as we could find.

He suggested a maximum no of trades allowed setting, so the latest update in post 1 includes the MaxTradesAllowed input. This applies to all trades open on the account regardless of their source. It is...
Steve, I like the idea of a Max Trades Allowed setting. I am going to give Scoobs idea of 5 and 200 atr rather than red line a go - with the NB V5 autotrader Scoobs style EA you coded a day or so ago. Would it be too much to ask if you could add the max trades filter to that EA as well so I can test that also???

I never implied that EA#2 didn't work... Just trying to figure out why so I can contribute more to the thread.
You are a valued and dear teacher and an experienced trader. Normally when I want to tell someone off in FF I go and read their previous posts to see if they just barged in without research or are making a point I do not understand. Bob always mentions that you seem to trade his system better than him not to mention his acknowledgement that you introduced him to the art of divergence trading. You have taught a few of us how to spot and trade divergences. Anyhow I think this was a misunderstanding and I do hope we shall benefit from the fruits of your labour in the future.

Moving to the main subject, I think Steve should change the name of this EA to Nanningbob Deputy Trader. I am going to demo this EA in a semi automatic way, hence the name "Deputy trader". I will load the Autotrader EA on a number of charts and periodically check the charts. If there are any potential trades that I think meet the criteria for any of the NB EAs I will load that EA on the chart. Once the EA has entered the trade will reload the auto trader to manage the trade. If anyone thinks this is a daft idea please do not be shy.

Kind Regards

Hehe. Have a look at the backtest. The only way I could differentiate between 'trend' trades and 'proper' trades is not to send a tp with the trenders.

There is only one of them, but look how successful it was.

This cannot stand a realistic chance of being successful long-term - it is much too simple. We shall see. The attached allows us to play around and see.

NB will manage loosing trenders with Recovery, so I am going to run a longer backtest in the hope that some will need it.

As you have said Steve, coding is easy, finding a decent strategy to code is hard...

I do hope this is a successful strategy for trend trading with NB - I have been off extensively backtesting and optimising something else promising, and haven't had much time to try to add with trend back into NB, although I am also coding up and testing a strategy from CanuckCT.

I hate raising expectations just to let everyone down

cheers
Simon

Hey Steve, I've been noticing that with using white line closure = true, it will often close pairs that had been ranging for a few days as soon as it hit a couple of pips profit. That is a jolly nice and everything since it usually runs out of steam on the retrace but is there a way you could include the swap cost in before accounting it as "profit" so that we aren't losing a couple of pips here and there due to swap costs?

Easily and a good idea. I will do this later.

Oh and I just noticed this. Shouldn't recovery have kicked in already? Or is it waiting for the close price of the candle?
