hey jiva can u post a 10 year backtest of ur ea,i want to see,how much it makes,i also asked sidhujag if he can change cbp ea to reverse,well see how it goes,
Volume trading, I want to look into that this week. Is that the volume indi you posted on the other thread? volume teacher or something...

Thanks for the move to code ea in inverse.
Usually it doesn't work. It still stays a loser. Inverse is not a mirror inverse, it's skewed so just flipping it doesn't work. the signals are very different due to the skew caused by spread. But we will see. Sometimes it is even bigger loser.

I'm afraid the back testing I have done for inverse as well forward that we discussed in "Lucky Spike" thread has to be disregarded. I forgot, FXDD has recently changed the spread policy. It used be fixed 2 pips no matter when, so testing after markets closed was no problem. But they have changed that (without telling anyone) so that in slow times the spread goes to 4 pips. Most of the time it is 2 pips, but sometimes it goes to 3 pips or 4 pips or even 5 pips for EURUSD, so I guess it is semi fixed spread. I talked on the chat with them and they...
I owe FXDD an aplogy. They did send email announcements out, about 1000 of them. The change in spread is due to the switch they are making to fractional pip pricing.

I'm running 10 yr backtests again. &%$%#... they are not coming out the same as before.. I should not be surprised. Mt4 data is messed up. Can just imagine how sloppy the files are for 10 years back.
Will post when something makes sense...
Meanwhile going ahead with the plan for today cbbp is set up...

It's an uncanny ea. It's placed the stop (which is the tgt for inverse) at the 38 fib retracement, and the limit (the stop for inverse) at the resistance of r3 from yesterday.
So which will the price action reach first? for profit or for loss?

Settings already are set in the EA as you had it.

Pardon me for slow response. Moving. Taking down trading desk, setting up trading desk. whew..
Still sorting through stuff.
the ea from the cbbp thread. Central banks and big players...
He sets it for minuscule losses trying to catch a big wave.
I set it to catch 19 pip losses which it does very consistently.
And then trade the inverse.
It appears that after a significant move at market open, for London about 2 hours after open, the market stalls a bit before either retracing or moving on in the direction, the setting catches that hesitation..
For US it is best about 1 hour after NY open.

Much thanks.
Have been testing the inverse ea, but as usual just changing the buys to sells and sells to buys doesn't make a loser a winner. The skew in the spread changes things considerably.
The inverse version doesn't show any particular edge on the market.. wins or losses. Somehow the original ea shows consistent losses??

I'm still flying with one wing.
windows in my desk top didn't take the move gracefully. Windows, bah..
I want a mac...
so it's taking all my time to just get the trading desk functional again.
almost there.
At least I can access with the HP laptop, decent machine and an old IBM think pad. No cpu, but it's a rugged machine. I could drop it out the fourth floor and it wouldn't feel a thing. too bad it has no power. Just enough to get online and for 2 or 3 mt4 platforms.
for now about all I can do is try to scare up a few pips with the cbbp inverse thing.
Maybe by later today I can get back to it full force. I want to look into the volume trade technique you are using. And read upon THV thread, they've been around for ages.

so 5am (2 hours after London open) I will look to see what the cbbp ea is doing. 9 wins a row so far. Maybe I can pick up a few more pips...

ea sold short, so I bought long.
prices have bounced off support and cold easily rise to tests the 200 ema on the 5 min..
ea has place the linit (inverse means stop) just below the support it has just tested.
Looks good.
