Like I mentioned to FXEZ before, I have been using the latest version OOTB but only on certain pairs 24hrs/day and I am up over 5k pips in the past two weeks.

So this definitely has some legs.

Do you mean 24 hr trading only for certain pairs and some others only on specific times?

I tested 1003 and performed well for a little but then got huge losses. Maybe the time/pair tweaking might be the answer?

Would you mind sharing your pairs/times settings for testing?

I run it 24hrs/day for only certain pairs. If i were you, I would test it on all pairs and take out the ones that are doing poorly. So far EU and EJ work the best using the latest version. I haven't tried limiting it to certain hours but I can definitely see that it could hinder its performance. Anyway based on my testing, there aren't many hours that are truly unprofitable.

Hi guys.

I would give this EA a try, but I did not succed to find the download link on the linked web pages.

I only found a "SnowRoller.mq4" EA posted by xxl205 on Apr 4,2001 @ http://www.forexfactory.com/showpost.php?p=4520423 ).
Is this the correct FXEZ's EA and the latest version?

BTW could anyone give me the link for downloading the .mq4 file directly (i.e. not a web page) please ?

Thanks in advance.

Many pips to all of you.
I will not give your shared stuff to anybody else. Only just mine.

No, that's an older version. You can find the SnowRoller expert advisor on this page.
Please read all the documentation. Download the source code here. I update the source files and documentation from time to time so check back at the source location.

I updated the link in the first post to make SnowRoller easier to find. Current version is 1.005

Well, I found the EA at the end of that web page (as I should have done before ). Thank you for your patience and for sharing your work.

Is this supposed to happen? I thought losing trades close earlier than this.

The stops and target work inter-bar so it's by design when you get a big bar. Someone else was asking about this. If you want stops/targets to apply intra-bar then make the changes: (in the start function)
before:
Inserted Code
if(LotMultiplier <1) LotMultiplier = 1;
if (Bars != ThisBarTrade ) {
   ThisBarTrade = Bars;  // ensure only one trade opportunity per bar
   RefreshRates();
   EvaluateCloseAll();
   if (ClosingAll) return;
   EvaluateCloseThis();
   if (ClosingThis) return(0);
   EvaluateStopAndTarget();

after:
Inserted Code
if(LotMultiplier <1) LotMultiplier = 1;
   EvaluateStopAndTarget();
if (Bars != ThisBarTrade ) {
   ThisBarTrade = Bars;  // ensure only one trade opportunity per bar
   RefreshRates();
   EvaluateCloseAll();
   if (ClosingAll) return;
   EvaluateCloseThis();
   if (ClosingThis) return(0);

Basically the only change is moving the EvaluateStopAndTarget(); up from within the one trade per bar section to allow it to evaluate every tick. I haven't got a lot of time but if you need it to be a strict SL/TP then this change should do that. I see you're using v1.007. I thought you were using v1.005. I even took 7 down because my results weren't too great but it looks like you've found pairs that work for that version.

See the previous post if you want intra-bar stops/targets.

Inserted Code
extern int takeprofit =       0;       // Single position take profit in pips
extern int stoploss =         30;      // Single position stop loss in pips

Default is 30 pips for the stop. Look for takeprofit and stoploss inputs.

What are the biggest differences between the two versions? Maybe I should forward test both

I think you're probably getting better results with 7. The main differences is 7 was optimized for its entry bar pattern, and there were a couple of changes with regards to max losing positions. 7 was designed to be a bit more peppy to the upside than was 5, but in testing a full spectrum of symbols I found it much less resilient than 005, though both seem to work better with a limited list of symbols (the ones that produce profits).

I just dropped EURJPY and USDJPY from my 005 test as a basket just closed. See how jaggy the equity curve is? It's fighting to get above but still too much tailwind.

Now it's just testing EURUSD, AUDUSD, EURCHF, EURGBP. I'm finding that having a small spread really makes a difference.

It should be back at its regular spot on the bottom of the page. I'm going to have to try a subset of symbols with that version. Maybe just USDJPY, USDCHF and EURCHF based on my full symbol forward test so far.

hello friends,

any update from your testing?
i am using version 1.008 on demo but doesn't seem to work better than 1.005 that i am using live on a micro account.
EURJPY is totally unprofitable from my tests, EURUSD is good with old version.

Any tips to share?

thank you.

I continue testing 1.005 with results attached on 4 symbols on 1 Minute time frame charts:
EURUSD
EURCHF
EURGBP
AUDUSD

I had to abandon EURJPY and USDJPY due to the drawdown (shown in the pic).

As for 1.008, I've been gathering data on this version on M15 charts, and will start next week testing probably with the following cut down list:
CHFJPY
EURCHF
GBPUSD
USDCHF

The following are on the bubble with 1.008 and so I'm not sure if I'll also include them or not:
EURUSD
EURGBP
USDCAD

hi all,

is this thread dead?
i believe in this system, am i alone to test it?
i put it live on micro account last week and i gained some pips on eurusd M15.
yes, there is some DD to suffer during sideways phases, but the EA ca n really make some money i think.

please, share your results anybody!
