i got this error.


2011.03.09 21:44:47 TestGenerator: unmatched data error (volume limit 379 at 2010.12.10 12:00 exceeded)
Yeah, it almost always does that, right at the start of the test. It usually keeps running after that though. Aside from that, I tend to get a lot of order modify errors but, it still doesn't keep the EA from functioning the way intended. It probably wouldn't hurt if I figured out what some of these errors meant though.

I do not use hedge, so no problem with me.

But can someone try this setting and give comment/feedback?

just rename the ext from txt to set.

Cheers
So, which version were you using here anyway?

the D revise version.

well, i had modified it back. i notice with one pair and bigger lots and no hedge,
it cud be a disaster if the trade when more than -40 pips away.

so now, i did 0.5 lot, with power lots on and hedge on.

one thing i notice, with power lots on, u dont need bigger lots. but consistent daily small profit compounded to you risk %.

all is good i think.

still scratching my head to use the E version, wont place any trade but more error.

the D revise version.
That could be a problem I guess, especially if you've modified it three or four times in the same post, unless of course it was the most recent update? It sounds like you've got it figured out anyway, so I think I'll just skip on it for now.

Are you forward testing it or backtesting it? It seems to work okay while I'm backtesting it, but I haven't tried forward testing it yet.

I also was not getting any trades after changing a bunch of settings. Sorry I didn't save the settings, but I had to hit RESET and start changing things 1 at a time and it started working again. There must be a certain combo of settings that don't work together.

Sorry I can't be more help - just letting you know that freqzz was not the only one.

HI ALL i testing this ea but i found for long time the floating loss is very large. whenever open level up 2 the level 1 maybe loss 50-70pips if the markets not change direction hit One-way market 200pips up price the level 2 also loss 50pips up and not stop loss .in 5m markets Highly volatile so i think can make the ea According to markets Direction to open level 2/3 trade? ex add in ma144 to Reference direction Or other methods As far as possible to reduce floating loss Avoid the encounter markets change direction . sor my poor english

So, did it work straight out of the box, so to speak? Like I said, it seemed to work fine when I was backesting it. While I just opened it up to forward test it and the journal said it was loaded successfully. Of course I also said to set forward_trend to true and shut hedge off, which I just did, and rebooted, and it still says it loaded successfully.

Although I guess it doesn't guarantee it will place any trades?

hi everyone after month of testing this ea it is getting better by day. it is so precise on taking trades .ex hedge entry ,hedge exit ,power lot ,forward trend so many option that would make this ea perfect . except tiny problem is it blindly open up 2,3,4,5,6......which make account blown. just my thought

Have you seen this? I think it might be more along the lines of what you're talking about.

Yes - it was working, but after messing with so many true/false options it stopped working. So, there is a certain combination of settings that cause it to not work. (couldn't tell you which ones at this point)
I hit RESET back to your default settings to get it work again.
It loaded fine, so that isn't the problem. An example would be something like while using velocity true, rsi entry needs to be set to true also......that kind of thing.

Hey, I just noticed if you set power_lots to false it won't work. That's because power lots factor (pl_factor) needs to be set to 1 by default, which I wasn't calling out. And, since I am multiplying tp_in_money by this and, unless I specify 1 as a default, basically it's multiplying it by 0. So ...

Hello,

The best version is the latest one - Rev E. If you don't want to use the hedge, just turn it to false.

I might also suggest NOT to trade this system if all you have is $100. It will not perform the way it is supposed to. You will run out of margin so fast adding levels. It may only go 2 deep and stop firing the levels, drastically increasing your chances of wiping out the account. I would either wait until you have more money, or use a different EA.

Just my 2 cents....

Been running some test on this E.A. on a demo account. The best I can come up with in the optimization strategy tester is.

profit - 2293.56, number of trades -216, profit factor - 1.40, expected payoff - 10.62, drawdown dollar - 6643.60, drawdown % - 59.88%. start_lot=0.9 range=82 daily_target=100 magic=22 r_multiplier=1.5 level=10 l_multiplier=2 increment=0.1 tp_1=25 tp_2=0 sl_std=60 tp_std=30 tp_in_money=5 h_level=3 h_top_level=100 h_tp=80 h_sl=25 b_even_set=10 h_offset=20 h_factor=1.05 bb_period=20 bb_deviation=2 bb_shift=0 k=5 d=3 slowing=3 price_field=0 stoch_shift=0 lo_level=30 up_level=70 rsi_period=12 rsi_shift=0 lower=30 upper=70 rsi_period_1=30 rsi_shift_1=0 lower_min=35 lower_max=33 upper_min=65 upper_max=67 fv_period=10 fv_offset=20

First trade it took was on january 27, 2011, even though I had that date set back january 1 2010. Last trade was on march 9 2011.

just an addition.

the key to profit is with this EA is.

1) small lots.
2) one pair.
3) small risk
4) small hedging level.

And all is fine.

But try it on demo first.

cheers.

ecTrade thank you for your work.
I'm new to the EA thing, I'm trying to learn how they are working...

I'm testing now, SWB Grid 4.1 revised 05 e. (I'm back testing on different periods from the last 6 yrs)
it seems to work fine on EURUSD M5
2000$ capital, 0,01 starting lot, hedge off

which settings should I try to adjust, how do they modify the ea-s nature?
(or where can I find a little more info on it?)

it would have failed 2011 jan 5-6...

but there is no hedge at IBFX, so I don't know how to make it work "safely"
