DislikedYour entry criteria should be 90 and not 80 for most of basket pairs.
For less volatile pairs entry at 80 may be ok. If you enter at 80, you will see DDIgnored
DislikedI agree but this would not have mattered today with EUR pairs. If you took the EURCHF-GBPAUD for example at 12:22 GMT when the Stoch Diff was about 98%, then the news came in and EC jumped 140 pips, the GA followed after a while but only 67 pips or so. For me this was worse becuase I had already entered at 90% and this was a second entry so me the situation was much worse.
Bottom line whatever we do there will some time when something unexpected happens. We just cannot protect ourselves 100%. One thing to do is perhaps sit out the news then...Ignored
DislikedHi folks,
Can anyone explain those numbers inside the circle?

DislikedEurUsd jumped 140 pips in a few minutes today when the ECB president talked about possible interest rate rises in the near future. It may not have the same impact as a surprise NFP number but it certainly has an impact.Ignored

DislikedHi Zr-Fx,
This week and past months i've noticed all trades that are triggered based on 90/20 setting goes up negative of 20-30pips before returning to either breakeven or big drawdown or painstaking waiting to gain profit.
I spoke about this the last time but got rejected. I want to know if someone could construct the SQ EA's to trigger opposite transaction instead of what's its doing rite now.
You may notice even the winning ones stalls for hours before coming to profit and that stalling for hours will be always in negative of 20-40pips...Ignored

DislikedThanks SQ for for extra contribution for this community.
About DAW results, I think that you have a conceptual mistake, which it migth be built in the EA.
The first couple you showed: EURUSD+EURAUD. Theses pairs are positive coralated, so why it does BUY+BUY (B-B). It should be B-S or S-B. It
doesn't metter if you got a profit from this basket.
You should check it.Ignored
DislikedI have been testing the EA for nearly 2 weeks with decent results (and no orphan trades). I am using the version named "Stoch diff 2 pair EAsq 2011.02.16".
I am using 85/10 with a TP of 10.
The EA took 21 trades, 16 winners (ave 10 pips) and 5 losers (ave 4 pips) so a good R:R and win rate.
Did not have EA on all the time due to one reason or another and managed to avoid news.
All trades managed to close within an hour of them being opened.
Tempted to go live.
Big thanks to all who contributed to this thread and the development of this...Ignored
