Arbinka,

Are you running this on all pairs or just the pairs that tested well?

Curious as I ran this on a 3 month backtest and thus far about 70% of the pairs fare well, the rest not tooo goood and basically blow ups.

Are you not getting pairs that just get left in never never land with huge drawdown? Curious.. I think AUDJPY was the worst, but I can't recall now..
The forward test is on 26 pairs. But remember that I'm running a corrected version of 71c which handles recovery correct for both 4H-trend and NB trades and several other major error correction. Most of those corrections are implemented in ver 81. But 81 needs still to be cleaned up and i'm working on that.

I have just noticed that Steve's EA is only taking 2 recovery trades. I have 3 open trades and a re-entry line, but the bot will not take the final recovery trade. Is anyone seeing this?

I'm afraid I've drawn a blank as to why it may be. Any ideas anyone?

Cheers, Beastie.
you are speaking about Steve original bot ?

As for the back test you are speaking about - I had about 5 pairs out of the 26 (one of them was EURUSD, I don't remember the others) which ended the test as looser, but I conceder this as something one can handle manually.

Is one of the current outstanding issues with recovery?
i am noticing a euraud 4hr trend short that is in the negative and at the recovery line now. display 'says' will sell at 4256, yet price has been there and above, yet no recovery trade has been opened. just wondering what to expect with it?
Impressed with the work so far, keep it up!!

I dont think MPTM is considered in back testing. So i think with these EAs, forward testing is the way forward.

Arbinka, here is my latest version ,only few mod since v81 : settarget4h as mentionned in pots #1161 and removed "print" bla bla bla and better "alerts".
So, I propose that i don't touch anything until you send a corrected version, and letter we will go with this one.
Just one remark : follow every mod in revision history and don't be affraid to (save as...) upgrade one version (82b, 82c) for each mod, so you can come back if needed and check what's go wrong when things go wrong. (this fu*c* metaeditor no help us to follow version changes, with color for example)

Yes, I am running back tests and have some pairs that go into prolonged draw down, but only 3 trades are opened. Your version does not have the same problem so I wondered if it was something you found and fixed.

Cheers, Beastie.

PS, I am only running on demo at the moment, but the results look so good, I may soon switch to live. Thanks for your continued effort, and to Arbinka who amazes me that he can understand someone else's code so well!

Hi Max,

Have you ever tried this tool.

http://winmerge.org/

For the limited time I spend on code, and I mean limited, it has been very helpful in comparing two files.

Cheers

ok, so the euraud recovery trade i mentioned earlier, is trying to open now, but erroring.
invalid trade volume. the initial trades are set to .05 lots, so i am not sure what size trade its trying to open, but obviously cannot.
I think it should be .07 for the first recovery trade, but something is preventing that from being calculated correctly in the code?
No idea

Steve "Wonder":
Ok, the bot seems to not be closing the entries at the midpoint for some reason. Logic seems right and sometimes it does, which I don't understand why not...Just FYI everyone, using my rules today would have netted 636 pips (not including spreads) doing visual forward testing this morning. Not bad....
Hi

In order to avoid cluttering this thread with other EAs and Systems, I have started a STARC thread to discuss STARC and Steve`s EA and Bluemele`s ideas in more detail. Anyone interested can post their comments at http://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?t=259770

Kind Regards

I am confused I guess with all the versions and what not.

I think I understand, you are making several references to this and I only changed the one.
