Go live, you will seem how fast it blows your account.


What are your settings for 4H? I have it on OOTB in the 4H time frame. It has not traded at all since I first set up the EA - Wednesday Last.

I don't have all the figures in front of me, but several versions of this bot I've been running on demo have been doing very well (and I'm not sure why!)

1.09 on 1 min TF, 6 pairs, 0.01 lot size, was up $1,600 last week, and 1.09 Ed is up a few hundred.

I don't like the method these bots use, so don't want to use them live. However, I've borrowed the basket hedging method used and implemented it into some other bots I've written, and so far (again only on demo) they're also doing quite well - better than any other bot I've seen in the last year and a half.

Sometimes if the market is in a big trend groups of bots will do well for a week or so, then lose all their gains. These bots don't use any long term trend following ... so we'll see how they go over the next few weeks/months.

Generally I've found for these bots to work well, the settings should use 1 or 5 min time frame, and 0.01 lots ...

Edd, this EA is able to trade original Caillou idea that buy with price rising and sell with price dropping, if you keep "countertrade=false". Is that not so?

i've updated V1.11's two minor bugs, and add a stoploss:
"SLpips = 50" in settings (under "MagicNumber = 0")

so now you may test "trend following" idea with Stoploss for each postion.

also, there is no need to identify the trend on 30M, if you are trading 1M.

in other words, when you have 20 positions that are winning (during 20 minutes), your 30M any indicator will give you "trend", and vice versa. that is, your on-going positions will tell the EA the trend themselves.

For now, the EA is only trading on counter trend. I just hope someone will add the trend part of the EA using trend in the higher time frame for example M30(or even H1) with M1 input

Edd

Charvo,attached EA has filters-two MA and Stochastic,this allows trrade "trend following".To reduce DD it is necessary some sort of changing in programme.
What we have now-for example,trend is DOWN,only SELL trades are possible,trend changes and if all SELL orders are in profit basket closed and BUY orders can be sent.But if SELL orders are in loss EA waits DOWN trend to close a basket,this way we have considerable DD.To improve -we should add "hedge" trades-open BUY orders Lot=Lot*K2 until pt=pt*K2 and after EA works its usual way.Changes in programm needed.It will be interesting to insert those changes in Caillouv1.11.

Profit target is not working correctly, it is closing the position very early with incorrect profits.

Profit target is the same as in others Caillou.Result depends on your crimes and market velocity.When basket closes by profit and market jumping your result may be minus.But not often.
