I like the enthusiasm, but remember that you have to include the open trades in the results, which can be big and negative with TB.

The latest Beast cuts dd hugely because of its stringent trade requirements. It does not trade often, so we can run it on umpteen pairs to generate some trades.

would I be correct in assuming that the latest version of TB is the most profitable and safest?

i'm using a semi automatic version of the original version - where I am only switching the EA on when the RWB indicator agrees AND the PA is above the gold/below lines. Its been working well. Obviously, the downside is that entries are missed during the night - but drawdown is kept to a minimum.

Hoping for Steve to code an experimental version based on this one too...

This is one of the initial version that i leave alone on VPS.

If the last Beast will works better that this, i can't wait to test it

Here is the Latest Experimental Beast, with two major changes:

 

  1. making TB hold the 'pending' trades in memory rather than sending them to the platform, to hide our activities from the crims
  2. removing secondary and tertiary trades altogether

I have added a CloseLosingTradesAfterHours filter. macman asked me for this a couple of weeks ago, so now seems a good time to add it. In the highly unlikely event that I have coded it correctly, this function will close losing trades after they have been open for more than the number of hours specified by this input. This should not happen if LEB is into Recovery or hedging. Leaving the default of zero in place will cause LEB to ignore the input.

Don't put this on live accounts as there is every possibility of bugs surfacing.

I have not added the RWB thingy. I know I said I would, but trading conditions are already pretty stringent and RWB looks irrelevant to me. I will continue to monitor this for possible inclusion in the future.

Looked at LEB:

Is this a bug?

DoesTradeExist() looks for actual trades placed on the server, but doesn't look for global variables set because you have a hidden pending trade cocked and ready to go. Is this OK?

Cheers Matt. I intended removing those calls but forgot. I don't think it makes any difference, but I have removed them anyhow.

You will see shed-loads of redundant code. I have left this in place in case I need to backtrack anywhere. It will all come out eventually.

I don't think anybody can trade better manually also, even if he's an 'expert'.

Skoda2008 has pm'd me with a copy/paste bloop in that LEB that wouldhave prevented it ever sending a sell, so the re-download is essential.

Cheers Sk.

The pending trade display ea goes in your EA's folder. Drag it onto any chart you fancy and set the time frame to a reasonable one - M5 for me. At the start of each new candle, the ea checks for pending trades and displays the pair, the direction and the fill price of each pending.

This is very rough and ready, so if anybody cares to pretty this up with labels and tidy up the price display, please feel free to do so.

Thanks for allowing me to post here. The beast with correction has now just taken it's first trade in the right direction, and it's a sell.
(CHFJPY for anybody who's playing at home).

Still taking 2 trades at each position , and in the case of ChfJpy has taken 3 ( this might have been because of reload of EA )

Mine only took one at 08:45 GMT. Looks like all three of yours are in profit - so bonus! The only thing I have set that is not default is the don't overload 5 dig crims thing.
