Hi Dryclean,
i loaded your profile of charts and it loaded ok apart from the basket and hedge charts 1hr - which just show waiting for update, it loaded once then froze. What i did see was on a gbpjpy - i am assuming the prices on the right are meaning less and it is the line we are using to look at buy /sell bias is that correct

Hi

I am having a very good day with BJ EA today after changing couple of things:

1. W1CLose and D1Close in Trade Direction (as Per HIREDWHIP`s Settings)
2. Lower TP & SL (as Per Steve`s Close).

I hope everyone else is having a good day also.

Kind Regards

When using the daily candle for trend direction, does the EA ignore sunday and use friday for monday?

Can you post or send me your set file or template? I do not have a version set up like that and tracking for comparisons.

I know you are using the close basket at 50pips, but what other stop loss or you using?

Read all you can from Brian and the T101 thread to understand what is going on better


None don't need them if you keep the basket balanced
the close 50 pip will probalby never hit but I had it there from when I 1st started with this ea
Now it is sort of a catch all I'll take 50 pips and clear the basket any time

Is that the only Take Profit you have though, didnt you mention you were using a TP at Square high line, with it set a 60min?

I can't get to my mt4 right now but I'm taking profit in the ea and I beleive that is it....... it is in the set file

I will also look at the basket and see if a pair is in a good profit and then check the chart if it is a buy and all the indies look like they are falling I will close it out for what I can get

As far as manual trading goes..... Sort your basket so the profit is at the top loss at the bottom
just watch as the apirs leap frog over each other and use the following for manual trades
pretty simple


1) BUYS that jumps up === BUY (if buy jump to profit you buy)
2) SELLS that jumps down=== BUY (if sell jump to loss you buy)
3) BUYS that jumps down === SELL (if buy jump to loss you sell)
4) SELLS that jumps up === SELL (if sell jump to profit you sell)

Steve,

I know crims love when people use magic numbers and comments on their platforms but I have an idea in the works. Is there a way to have the EA take multiple magic number or comments into consideration for entry? I am testing out a multi basket method

Steve,

Yes there is but: how many ea's do you want trading on your account? Surely, if an ea is finally successful, then this is all you need. So why have magic numbers and comments at all?

I know people are married to mn's and comments, but they really are unnecessary. They are a throwback to the days when we all ran umpteen ea's on our demo accounts in the desperate hopes that one of them might prove to be a success.

We have moved on.

Unless you have come up with something new; then we are all ears.

Cheers.

Hi Steve

I think what hndymann has in mind is having so many Magic numbers and comments to fool the criminal into thinking that there are umpteen number of different EAs running. Where in fact he is using ONLY the BJ EA. That is my understanding.

On a different note, panamamike asked for my set file (which I am running on ibfx penny a/c) together with the old version of the EA . The set file and old version of BJ EA are in the zip file. Nothing special in the set file. After you mentioned that you are having success with scalping in semi auto mode and Whip having D1 and W1 close in trade direction TRUE, I changed to True for W1Close and set BE of 10 and BE profit of 6.

I had some free time today and took manual TP and to my surprise made around 300 pips. Most probably these are not optimum setting and I hope whip provides his set file so we can compare. I very much like to test the EA with volume and LSMA on but due to CPU limits it is not possible. Finally, I had quite good fun doing the demo game today and I think everyone should give it a go when they have few hours to spare during London and NewYork sessions.

Kind regards
P.s. Is there a particular reason you did not post the Logical trader script in this thread?

I understand my friend and I do apologize if I was pestering you. You have been an important influence on the developements of Steve`s EA and we have benefited from the fruits of your labour and vast experience for some time. I have enjoyed comparing results with you in the other threads. However, having some farmer friends I know it is a 24 hours 7 days a week 52 weeks a year job and this has number one place in your list of things to do.

Thanks to the great man this is one of the most exciting threads in FF and we shall do our best to manage to help in a small way to its progress and endevour to hold the fort.

No worries Steve I'm normally not a MN person myself but I will test it manually and then provide feedback. I'm just a lazy person and didnt want to keep track of 3 different hedge baskets at the same time. buahaha

Well last night I blow my FU acct of 58.00 still have 9.45 in it
TOO MUCH DD I knew that going in so it is OK. Better to pay 50 and learn than blow 1000 and learn same lesson Too bad it was up 200% if I was not sleeping I could have been able to make damage control moves to save most of it ..., But a guy has to sleep.

Funny my account with 750 did OK and made it last night but I only have a 1.5% dd right now on that account
The 750 account is not experimental as the other.

Just a suggestion .... If you can find a broker that will do penny accounts, forex4you.com is one I use. You can open an account for 10.00 and it will show like you have 1000.00. It is a real live account No demo BS

It is a time of reflection and renewal in the Christian Word during this time of Lenten Season. Whether you are a believer or not pretty soon in the end of our life journey, we will be accountable and rewarded for the good dids we have done to the least of our brethen. We are on our journey towards our Heavenly home. There is no permanent in this life, death and calamities such as earthquake and tsunami will take away from us what we have earned. An extended help in the name of the one who created us without expecting any reward is very precious in the eyes of the Lord. I wish I could have enough talent to emulate numerous people found here at ff ready to give. With high esteem, I knew some even though I have not met anyone in person my silent prayer goes with them.

"What does it benifit a man if he gain the whole world and losses his own soul?"

God Bless All,

Edd

Thanks for that EDD, sometimes we forget what is really important in life and lose sight and we need constant reminders to bring us back to reality. I always say the most important things in life are health & happiness of ourselves and our loved ones. Confirming what you wrote, I feel strong bond of friendship with a number of people here in FF, people I have never met in person or even spoken to and ordinarily would have nothing in common with. this is one of the benefits of the internet.
