Will be keeping track of experiments with trading techniques using eas in unique ways.
This thread is on journals because I didn't know where else to post.
I thought it didn't quite qualify for the trading systems forum but I would like to keep things open for traders to feel free to comment. So please if you have something to share feel free.

note: 3/22/12, am focusing on strategies using moving averages.
am starting to learn to code little by little, (very little at this point but making some progress)

This ea is terrific at losing trades no matter what the stops or limits. It is truly phenomenal and totally consistent.
I can't remember where I found it. But it is a jewel for use as a signal provider for taking the opposite trade.
Even today, the day before Christmas, when the market is practically flat on the 1 minute and most of the banks are closed it is still consistent. I love it.
For anyone who might be following the thread and would like to try it I am attaching the necessary files.
It's a scalper on the 1m EURUSD. It can crash $50,000 in a month in backtest, no matter what month for 10 years back.
Just think reverse trade!!!!....

Thank you,

You made my day... I haven't laughed this hard in a long time.. That is one great EA, I love it.. If I ever want to blow out my account I will have you send it to me...lol. To bad you can't put negative signs by all the code to make it do opposite trades....

I have a way to take the opposite trade automatically in another account. Even considering the increased difference for the spread in reverse.
BTW, that's how the brokers make so much money, they trade against their clients....

Yeah, I know and I don't like it. That is why it upset me so much when the USA requires you now to have your account in the USA.. I think the U.S. brokers were complaining because so many people were shifting their funds overseas thus taking away from their bottom lines.

That is very disturbing. We do not do well with that kind of restriction. Personally I think it is because they want to figure out a way to make sure to tax the traders. I think next is coming some rules that US forex brokers must submit for tax purposes like US stock brokers.

There you go another loss. For reverse a loss is a win....
This ea is too much. It has some sort of stop loss built in that no matter what the limit is, it is sure to lose if it pulls back even a little. But sometimes it reaches the full stop too. But it never reaches the limit.... Just amazing.

I didn't even finish posting and it took another loss. It never stops, it is constant... The losses are small because the range is so narrow. But on a more volatile market it takes big losses. I have found the "Holy Grail"... Who would have thought it would be in reverse...

Funny thread...

Just for playing...I've simply reversed the buy/sell conditions... but I don't know if it works....I didn't try it...

Anyway..most of the times just reversing strategies doesn't works because of the spread...

Yes the spread plays havoc when you try to reverse.
There must be a way to take advantage of an ea that has a consistent record of loss, with 70% or higher loss rate.
Thanks for the modification. Will investigate.
Yes funny thread...
Why not, we need to lighten up a bit.

here's another ea. This one has traded very nicely in reverse.
The graph is n/a modeling quality but we can get the general idea.
My broker is gmt +2. The mkt time settings are for gmt+2.

This one needs monitoring. It has a martingale of some sort with hedging function. So it goes great guns for months and then, oops, it buys a top or sells a bottom and won't let go.... But with supervision this could be very very good.

I have these eas set up on demos and have a way to take the inverse trade automatically in another account. So far so good. Only for last 2 days and it is holiday time... But we shall see.

These trading records show how the trade is taken in a demo account and automatically the inverse is taken in another account. It is not exactly a mirror image. The market is moving and there are some time delays involved.

These trades were taken using cbbp on the 30 minute.
I have found a better setting for cbbp on the 5 minute, more trades, more losses.

Why dont you reverse the orders in the EA?

So you can get a backtest with the spread

Yes. Sounds like a good idea. However it doesn't work like that.
Of course I have tried this. Just reversing the orders would work if we were dealing with a mirror image, however, due to the spread there is a skew which has a very big affect on the reversal. Basically it plays havoc.
