I have manually evaluated every signal and skipped many of them.
The exceptional result today is of course due to the situation of the Yen and USD.
DD was kept under 10%. The problem is that one have to be beside the computer for many hours in order to capture the good signals.

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.

kind regards

Thanks and God Bless.

In general I trade between 9:00 until 17:00(GMT+2). I will enter a trade if the following conditions exist:
1.The actual bar has significant body length compare to previous bars.
2.The actual bar has no shadow (or very small one) in the direction of the signal.
3.Some other pairs with one of the currencies in the signal pair comply with the previous conditions.
4.PA moving fast in several pairs.
5.No more then 4-5 open positions at the same time.
Orders are sent with no SL and no TP. I am running MPTM with hidden TP of 10 pips but sometimes I will manually close the order with less than 10 pips (or small lose) if I feel that the move is out of steam.

In my head I had already published this, but clearly my head is as far as O gpt.

Attached is the ea version that whip is trading. He makes his own input edits and re-compiles, so the ea is also his set file. For those of you who want to follow his success, I suggest you:

 

  1. download and run the ea on a single chart
  2. save the set file
  3. apply this set file to your updated B ea.

P.s. Is there a particular reason you did not post the Logical trader script in this thread?
Can't remember.

I assume people here are also up to date with developments at TOB, and so have the signals-generator. If not, go to http://www.forexfactory.com/showpost...&postcount=990 to find it.

Been trying this and don't know is the ea will do it

But I used the Hedge_14 script and changed the magic No to be the same as the Magic no in the ea.

I opened the script to get all 14 pairs up to get the core basket going

then I have the ea close out the pair when they are in profit by the square or have a hidden TS of 5

What I'd like to see is as soon as the pair is closed by the ea the same pair is re opened..

Will the ea do this or is this something Steve need to code....

The big questions is will it even work
been trying it manually to early to tell .... but it sort of fits the way Brian was saying to do it in his video

The ea is coded to trade when its interpretation of the signals are correct. It will not simply replace a missing trade from a basket.

For that, you need the attached. Set up your 14 charts and apply it with default settings apart from lot size. It will take trades, then close and re-open them accordingly.

I coded this early on but never published it because the dd gradually deepens and equity never caught up.

I can not see the code behind the core basket indicator, so can someone tell me if the basket is a set hard coded of pairs or is it dependent on what you have open . If so do the charts all have to be the same timeframe

If i want to change pairs how is this done

Thank you

I would love to see the option to close out all open trades at a specific time of day as well as a time on friday for the weekend and when to start the new week. Then I could be really lazy. lol

Here are the results of my EA forward test. It has been running for two weeks. I screwed up and closed some DD trades. Thought I was doing it on a different demo. I have 12 demos running and 4 live accounts with various eas. Sometimes i get confused. All in all it is averaging about 2% a day and the max DD has been 13.4%.

Trading all pairs listed in post 1 & trading the pairs listed there.
(I'm also running Dryclean's version with his settings from post #752 on another plaform and am getting results similar to his.)

Trading from start of Euro session through mid US session.

Closed all positions during US session after reaching an acceptable profit for the day of +499 pips.

I have been trying several settings with the latest EA, and today's have been the best. It's only the first day with these settings & results, maybe it was just a lucky day, we'll see.

I'm a day trader in my trading style (quite aggressive scalper). Normally my positions are open for few minutes until few hours (in my live account). I will very seldom let an open position to go over night. Also here in this ea I try to close all open positions before I leave the computer even I am in losing situation. On this ea I made an exception yesterday where I left 9 open positions overnight with quite large DD because I believed that most of them will come over during the next trading day.

The Ea is with default setting except lot size, sq=60 and hidden TP of 5 pips. running with the 14 pairs from page1.

And here are the result from my manual test started March 10:
