OK. I enjoy the odd spot of coding from time to time.

Which broker?

I also 2nd the notion of beastie with the Chaser 6th indicator. Make it happen Steve? Please?
I will give a name of criminal , when i finish a whole process returning deposit. Their support told me that its their mistake ...and that i need to wait . because i know that they are reading forex factory , even i they banned forex factory and FPA name from their forums ! But i am not so keen to trust them !

@ steve
i am little puzzled with closing trades. I have Autocalc trade closure line turned ON and all other options for trade closure are false . And every trade no mater which pair ,is closed at gold .Even if they have a big volatility in that time , like GBPJPY which should be closed at green , is closed at gold. At the moment i am not worried about that because beastie is rocking , but i wounder could more pips be taken.

I only abandoned Beastie because the TT stuff appears doomed to failure.

What if I strip out the TT stuff and see if I can make Beastie and TOB mirror images of each other, except for the stealth technology?

Steve,

Some posts back I suggested use of Price Channel Stop indicator to act as another filter. I think the TT has legs; don't give up yet. Beastie did very well last week.

I think the PCS indy will nail it.

Thanks,

Steve:

I don't comment on your threads too often because by the time I catch up on the posts I find the answers to the questions I would have asked. But I want add my praise to Beastie and that with the changes proposed to take advantage of the stealth technology would be great.

I have demoed both Beastie and TOB this past month with very conservative settings and both are just the most amazing, consistently winning EA's I have ever had the pleasure of testing. I really don't know how you do it, but you have motivated me to learn how to code.

I have also noticed this issue that I hope you can fix, but Beastie seems to fly with well with it.

I just checked my Beastie demo account on this very wild day in the markets (amazing for a Sunday!) and it has already racked up +346 pips since market opening.http://www.forexfactory.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

I...
Pete i decided to overide thish simply by switching to Break even at gold true , and BEp 2... in just 8h from the market opening i closed an 86 pips of profit manually on just a 2 pairs(if they were closed at the gold line that would be 30 pips of profit) ...so maybe fix is not needed. I am going to test tis way of closing to the rest of the week , but i think that its way better to secure 2 or more pips and let the trade fly !

+346Pips...WOW your beastie is on Nitro

Those of you still demoing Beastie need the update in post 1. It contains Jose Luis' fix for the faulty volatility code.

Hey, this is a good suggestion that Muzza made for TOB at this post:

Steve:

If you implement Muzza's suggestion for TOB, I hope you find the time to do the same for Beastie. They both rock!

Guys, I am sorry but I am going to do no further development here.

On the surface, from the user's point of view, Beastie without TT and TOB are the same animal apart from the stealth stuff.

Under the hood they are completely different.

I am an amateur coder. The significance of this is lost on most of you but the fact is this: us amateurs can code two different pieces of software that arrive accidentally at the same result but by totally different routes. This means that in improvement in one program is not easily portable to the second.

More to the point, us amateurs only have a vague idea how we arrived at the current stage in devolopment. The instant we try to change something, LUC kicks in; often big time.

There was a time when Beastie was State Of The Art and users were complaining that there was stuff missing that was present in The Beast.

State Of The Art has moved on and left Beastie behind. Sorry.

Steve:

I understand and, believe me, I don't know how you do what you do. Lazar and I agree that Beastie rocks and will continue to pull in pips. If it is all right with you, I will from time to time report some Beastie trading results in the TOB thread to compare results with TOB. Based on this week I would not be surprised if Beastie, as is, pulls in as many, if not more pips, than TOB. I think Lazar, I and others who may be interested could make this an interesting competition. Thanks so much for what you do!http://www.forexfactory.com/images/icons/icon14.gif

Viv:

Yes, with a few exceptions. No TT at all. I am using .01/$200 lot/$ ratio, a GoldLine BEP of 3 because of the invalid stops issue of the MT4 platform I am using and set RecoveryBreakEvenProfitPips = 20 per Steve's suggestion.

The wild market today caused some sixths indi problems as on some pairs the indi did not reset to reflect new extremes quickly. I did not see these problems with TOB. I also had to place manual trades for both Beastie and TOB recovery because the EA's did not place them, probably due to the fast action trade context busy, etc., problems with MT4 rather than the EA's.

I didnt had those problems , but the market is a hell of a ride . I had never had such a big - in pips , and they are all made on JPY ...its almost 1900 pips. Recovery closed some positions , but JPY is moving mountains in front of it . These weeks TT could be a life savior

i was just visually checking the TT , and it looks like he should have caught this 1000 pips on the GBPJPY?

maybe but bot did not catch it. This is with TT running on its own, and also another session with CT/TT on together. However, CT got involved in a buy before the downmove

I did not have any good experience with TT and I doubt that mt4 would have caught any of these JPY trades. I still have the NB Trend Trader in demo and after checking the journal yesterday and today, it missed everything. That said we need another complementary EA for TOB that reliably captures more of a trend. Maybe the promising Brijon EA's could be the answer to keep us out of the trouble we had this week.

@bobby
That was a lucky buy , after that , you close your platform and go to dig ditches for a few years to make up for loses lol
@ForexPete
well pete , i am wondering , because i sow that TT setups were good , i didn't trade them ...but i am wondering why they didnt trigger .They should , all rules were applied . Brijon is an excellent scalper , i hope that soon steve and guys are going to make it water tight , but the DD control is whats frighten me !
