I just noticed that Skoda_01 did something very strange. It only opened 13 trades initially at 1526 GMT, 6 sells and 7 buys. Then 2 1/2 hours later it opened the missing pair, AUDJPY, which would have been in the sell group, as a buy. So now I have 6 sells and 8 buys.

Skoda_02 opened 9 sells and 5 buys. There are 5 winners and 9 losers - could it be opening backwards from what was intended?

I was thinking the same thing last night.
I tried reverse trading - no difference.

Seems we are still missing the momentum aspect of skoda's indicator and an extreme limit for each pair or each group.

Easier said than done.

Maybe more than one scan (3-5) of skoda's indicator before the EA places trades would be able to tell us if the pair/group is going in the same direction or is beginning to reverse. Would take about an hour (+/- 15mins) to decide though.

I did say they were experimental! Skoda_01's open trades code is completely untouched from Basket14_03. The only change to that code is the selection of whether the entire basket is a buy or a sell, so yes, very strange.

I believe Skoda_02 is behaving as intended, basically counter-trend in the expectation that it'll revert to the mean. Looking at a longer (24hr?) timeframe might give a better representation of which way it should be placing the trades. Or maybe a "when" factor could be incorporated as well, only place trades once deviated by a certain amount. Although as has been discovered with the other systems this might mean it hardly ever trades.

That is a hangover from the original Basket14_03. If it bothers anyone I'm sure they can figure out how to fix it themselves (yes, even "non-coders").

What exactly? If you are referring to the EA PL being greater than the Dollar Profit Target, you have to keep in mind the trim and reverses that have happened

Look at your current running equity, and how many dollars it will take to get to your equity target, and that's when it will close. If it closed at $13 it wouldnt make up for the losses from the trim and reverse


On another note, skoda_02 is going pretty well here

Target 13.24
And the EA does not close and take it when it is 22 +

It can not bee any reverse there The orders was 10 min old

  • Sep 20, 2010 8:20pm Sep 20, 2010 8:20pm
Although 10 mins old, it is likely that trim and reverses have happened, that's why EA PL > Profit Target and hasn't closed all trades yet

This is getting ridiculous having to explain dollar profit target and equity profit target over and over again. Some people just refuse to read or do not understand what they are reading.

E2u, you need to take the screen shot of the entire comment block. You have left out the only figure that really matters here, the current equity. The account PL makes no difference as far as when these EAs close. You are not in profit when you have a + PL. Your current equity must be more than the LastFlatEquity before you are in profit. When your Account Equity reaches the Equity Profit Target the EA will close and take the profit - has nothing to do with PL.

I sure hope we don't have to explain that again.
