Max,

As a way of saying "thanks" for all of your efforts, I am willing to assist in writing up a user guide for your bot. Let me know how you would like to proceed. Feel free to send me an email at [email protected]

I feel the RecoveryModule4H is stupid since it do not wait a clear signal to open a new trade.
Here is a version corrected. Not sure it work very good, we will see.
Anyway if I have time I think it sould be interesting to re-code the body of the program.

Hey Max,

I been looking at the beast thread and looking at the graphs of the trades. It looks as though the best opportunities lie with the CT trades from the sixth indicator or the TMA one. If price is outside the gold area AND TMA indicator AND outside the bollinger band AND RSI 3 is at an extreme AND (here is the key) you see if strong neighboring support/resistance is nearby.

If there is nearby support/resistance price will gravitate towards it no matter if its overbought or oversold. If you take the trade near these with a SL above or below the support/resistance of 10 pips you will get good trades that you can let run after setting to BE.

Those pairs with no support/resistance nearby may be good to take the trade.

You may use half lot tp at the MA of the bollinger bands.... and this would allow you to calculate R:R... and take trades of atleast 1:2 risk/reward.

That would be a winner.

IE: today's losers were GJ and AN... both near support and both looking like it wants to keep going down... well see how it plays out.

The rest of the trades were good... and turned out good because of the fact that the spikes occurred near support/resistance and ended up just working.

With this in mind we could have gotten in at better prices and been more confident that we woudl have free trades

Look at EJ also... even though RSI says its over sold I wouldn't get in until R:R is good near the support

My demo has banked 3.65% for the day! Only 1 open position right now. Totally OOTB with no intervention.

I am moving my VPS provider to one that gives a dedicated dual core to avoid my CPU maxing out with this bot and 4 others running. Currently it is a shared CPU and this bot is taking its toll on CPU resources.

Yeah the early results are promising to say the least.

FYI I am only running this bot on 11 pairs, the majors and minors less A/N and G/Y. I am not trading the exotics at all *listed according to GO Markets groupings.

Max,

I put the new one on and it closed out all my old orders. Just FYI as I don't know if that was the intent. First time this ever happened. Lost 30.00, but DD was getting a little high anyways and still up for the week!
Same for me. As soon as I pressed the button to enable the EAs and ZAP! I did get a message though which was nice Took out all the day's profit of about 2%. Bit this was on Demo though not live Any way, DD back to zero and overall about 0.2% today so cannot complain too much.

By the way I have V133 on live and it is bringing in pips!. Although again it took two opposite positions a few times today on big movers which resulted in nothing becuase thet just cancelled themselves out!

  • Oct 19, 2010 11:18pm Oct 19, 2010 11:18pm
I have some doubts about the last versions (v133 ect) do not increase lot in case of recovery, due to AdaptLotWithAtrPipvalue and/or AdaptLotWithTrendStrengh. So for moment I think it's better to set this params to false.

I think it's a little stupid for TT (TrendTrades) to be stick on the original Trend if we are on an opposite trend later and continue to take trades on the original side. I added a new input in order to allow take 2 sides trades. I run a demo with this input to true, and another one with false to see how the bot cope with that. Not sure the recovery works exactly like we want in this case, right now I cannot guess if it's a good idea or not.

Strange. I have 4 Alpari UK demos running and they are fine! Alpari may be upset by your monster EA

Lots of DD currently on my live version here. Jumped up considerably.

Not following you on the taking of trend trades even though you are taking trades in opposite direction?

If you do not take opposite direction trades, then this just becomes the traditional system right?

I can tell you that on a big move 2-300 pips, then another day of 2-300 pips, this bot will probably blow up as well unless you have considerable equity to trade. So far, this is running very similar to my blessings live accounts.

The key is to figure out how to survive the big big runs...
We are our own best indicator.

Hello Maxou888,
Thank you for your continued development on this very interesting ea.
Seems you are coming out with new & improved versions faster than I can demo forward test them though & I would like to learn more about the trading system ideas behind the ea.
I started to forward testing your ea a couple of weeks ago, but got temporary interrupted by some pc trouble, but I'm back to at it again.
I like your maxx ver 103 because it tells you via text message on the chart where abouts it will likely open a trade, and since I like to also use renko range bar setups it sometimes acts as a good confirmation signal.

Found these to be the indicators that the ea is loading on a 15 min chart etc, and looking at it in backtest of maxx_v103, are you still using these indicators in your later versions?
If not why, or why not?

Max,

If I recall correctly from reading the thread on David's 4Hr system, there should be a 50 pip SL and TP. I currently have two trades on that system with your version 133 bot on demo that are more than 150 pips down each. The small SL is justified in that the system trades touches of the 4hr trendline, which when broken is no longer a valid trendline. I could be wrong, but i believe that is how he manually traded his system during the hours from London open until two hours before the nyc close.

Here is the link. Post one summarizes the strategy.

Thanks for that Steve, you are correct, newbies will be definately very confused. As for Max`s EA, I think originally it started as automated NB5, then it grew, grew and grew to the BEAST it is now. I am demoing it and it is very very good but very complex. Just trying to keep up is a difficult task for some. I am sure you agree that he has done a fantastic job, albeit very complex.

Kind regards
Lol! I don't know what's going on here but my demo for max's EA is really making money. I just can't go live because I do not know what does the EA do. Instruction for newbies: Load the EA and make money, that's all. Lol!

Anyway, thanks Max.
