Posting a backtest with a modeling quality of less than 90% is pointless!

Please post verifiable backtests with data to show at least 90% modeling quality.

Would be great, if the suggestion to use the TMA indicator could be undermined with facts.

The TMA is to add to the chart as a normal indicator, or should I also change some settings in the set?

Hi Guys

What happen with this thread?
Can any expert coder add TMA filter to EA for get best results.
Now, I trade with TMA manual, but if I open trade outside TMA bands then i have lose trade.

My results from my account real are:
Apr---81.65%
May---27.35%
Jun---68.22%

The EA is very good, but it need add TMA filter for clean false entries.

Note: I trade GBPUSD and XAGUSD with SIMPLE_GBPUSD_H1. Thanks very much Geoff for your contribution to the comunity.

Hi Mr Juliusss

First of all many thanks for sharing your idea.
I'm not codes expert but I've been seen this TMA indy code inside because is in mt4 file and it appears to me good for any time frame, so you can run it on H1 chart with SIMPLE_GBPUSD_H1 strategy because is design too to work on any time frame and still count M5 , M15 fractals, which meant you can use only one chart -"H1", or I'm wrong then sorry.
Secondly there is only one great person who is able to add TMA indy to the strategy code Mr Piptician -for you.
Hi is the main coder of this strategy and SIMPLE_GBPUSD_H1.is in ex.file.

However, I will strongly suggest you to go and read every bolt-red letters from page one before you present any achievements in % to us.

1.Attached first backtest is the result of optimization of the EA from 01 2009 til 03 2011.

2.Second backtest shows out of sample verification of results on unknown data 04 2011 til 06 2011.

All data derived and converted from Dukascopy tick data to 1 min MT4 data

What is the point of discussing old and outdated versions with limited functionality?

Any merit to it?

I believe this EA will be best if Piptician( guru coder) add TMA filter. TMA= FALSE o TRUE.

Can you base your desire to add the TMA indicator as an additional filter on any facts, rather than observations at the wrong trading times?

The version i posted is from the first post and is the latest, containing all bells and whistles necessary to trade profitable!

You wish to revert back to a much older version, which is missing several important features and is not as profitable as the latest version(run a backtest) and want to add an additional indicator.

Before even looking into this addition, it must be proven to be an improvement.

Dear Yurijap

Sorry for my late response.

I'm not your enemy, I'm your friend in this case.
I've been using this strategy for a year or so, every version SimpleH1.., Tokyov17a.., even Advacedv19.
All this strategies based on the same idea fractals M5, M15 during the Tokyo session with quite nice result.
However there is always reason to improve things a specially when you experience 140-180pips losses.
I've done hundreds backtests and optimizations with very similar results us your, all is fine if you play with demo acc.
Finally if this strategy works for you, is great.
I wish you the best.

Best regards.

Hi T.desk

Sorry for late response.
The reason is that, you can use any code of strategy you want without understanding how it is works, which is fine.
Or, you can dig deeper and find the base of the code and try to analyse it even for eduction purpose.

Mac,

understanding a strategy and reading a programming code are very different things and have nothing to do with the success of a method.

Reading code for educational purposes seems to be the motto of the Trading Systems section of this website and makes without any doubt many forum users quite happy, because i count zillions of pages in threads, which never lead to any profitable EA and/or setting and even more important, many methods are not even validated=proven profitable in the first place.

That is my reality check of "reading code for educational purposes"....

Folks seem to be desperate for new gadgets, but never finish an old one or come up with a profitable one.

Ask yourself, how many threads in the trading system section would exist, if publishing a profitable backtest or a 1 year forward test with a MyFxBook account would be a prerequisite for opening a new thread.

In this thread the author has not only published the full method, but rather presented and given away a very well coded EA, including backtests and profitable settings.

I find it astonishing, that members step up to the plate and alter a profitable method in "time" and "indicators" and maybe next in pairs for no reason!

This method is profitable, a very nice customizable EA exists and there is no need to change anything, unless a smart member can prove that a substantial change can improve results over time significantly.

That has not been the case yet!

All this discussion as of late does is, that it can serve as another great example how to degrade a profitable system into a piece of "educational garbage".

That this very method has a rather unfavourable and large(too large for a good risk vs reward ratio) Stop Loss is a disadvantage which has to be accepted with a small positionsize(single trade risk %), but gets more than compensated by the nice and smooth equity curve.

Let`s save this thread and remember that this method and EA has been profitable over a few years and even out of sample tests deliver good results in todays markets.

Hi Tradingdesk

After you make the backtesting must add the TMA filter and see that the operations outside of the indicator was lost.
So I suggest you add this filter to minimize losses.

This idea was from Dryclean and since I use it had more gain,

Mr. Juliusss...

I am increasing my due diligence Mr.Juliussss!

1.Post your live trading results, which are according to your statement superior to whatever version is available with your application of the TMA indicator as filter

2.Post your MyFxBook link so that we all can verify your results

Thereafter we can talk about programming the TMA filter under the following conditions:

-post a screenshot of your chart setup including the indicator

-describe exactly the rules, not only TMA= true/false, because it is extensive work to program this feature

-what to do, if price is outside of the TMA band

Whoever is behind this nickname with 7 posts.
I pay to great respect to Geoff, Piptician and many others for their effort
to say anything in this way.
I really don't no what to say...my English must be very , very bad

OK! Let's see what you can offer with your programming skills without access to Tokyo_mq4.file for Juliuss, or you are "autor" of this code.
