what set are you using, MasterF?
I used the default settings. The second ea uses the same entry signals like the 10.0daily ea in Nanningbob's thread and it was only a test. Maybe my backtests data aren't accurate enough (standard mt4 broker history). Sry for that. I'll delete the post. It's only confusing.

Furthermore is it possible, that this Daily ea is put manual on the chart at the right situation and doesn't trade all the time? (Then there have to be another filter.) I still try to understand all these eas

So at the moment I stop posting any new code, but I'm still following.
DO or DO NOT ... There is no try.

If you read post 1, you will find that I had already addressed the point you raised.

My solution is not absolutely watertight, but putting tar in the holes is one of the developments BB will require. I suggest we address it further once we know how big a problem it will be.

HI
I am using CTR 1H BOTH EA which is in the EA folder of "10.0 #2.zip" file. everything is default, except the lot size which I increased to 0.02.

As for the -60 pips! What can I say! I have this trade as well and at present it is down by 88 pips. In the world of forex everything is normal. It may be -600 pips in couple of days or +200 pips. Who knows? Your guess is as good as mine. The only thing we can do is to be prepared to take relevant action in either case. Sorry can not be more help, maybe someone more experienced can give a better...
Well, it's not about DD, but the timing of the entry, but, at a second look at charts,seems a valid one. And, yes, using same EA,sure...Thank you for the answer :-)

Hey, MasterF, you're not confusing anyone,at least not me(means I'm already confused,haha!)...just that I cannot figure a good result with any of them(meaning BigBob and BigBob_1, that's why I wonder. And my strategy tester says I got 90% accuracy...think it's good enough for EURUSD.

Steve and Bob, thanks for all your work and for the continuous learning experience (about FOREX and coding) you have been providing me for the last 2 years.

I had the chance to read all NB 10.0 material during a 5 hrs flight. I was really eager to get back home and make some pips. Next thing I know, Steve decided to create the EA. WOW!. Now if Phover decides to join and create another Masterpiece Dashboard, we’ll be in business!. My programming skills are basic, but I’ll do everything I can to contribute.

With NB Trend system, we are looking for high volatility for the EA to be successful (lower volatility for range). Would it be beneficial to add NB volatility table (spreadsheet with volatility number from 1 to 6) as part of the code ? (same kind of table from MAX coded in Beastie to calculate the ReEntryLinePips – I believe). Only pairs with volatility number 4,5,6, would trend trade (and 1,2,3 for range trading in the future…). Just a thought…

Thanks Steve. We knew sooner or later you would get involved. I urge you to look at the CTR Both EA in the ranging thread. Bob has had very good results with it. I went live with it Sunday evening and thus far it has made a profit of 800 pips with very little DD. Settings are default and TF is 1H, it is auto trading all the way with no intervention from me.

Kind Regards

Sorry for the question, what currency you are using the EA.


Thanks for the reply.

I read the CTR doc again and see that range trades are only supposed to happen at the open of a new candle. I have added this feature: post 1.

Hi Steve, haha, meantime you already answered at one of my questions,but I got another! Can you take a look at that picture, is my tester, using BigBob defaults,is that ok, regarding the logic implemented into EA,or my history is crap? Still shows 90% accuracy...

As yet, there is no max distance from open/ma/anything else. I would imagine that implementing this is a good idea, so nice one. I will add a max-candle-size input.

I am looking at the volatility stuff right now. The updates will come thick and fast.

Well, keep up the good work there,
I just want to say that, logically, opening SELL should be at open of next candle (hmm...Bob says in the manual at the crossing of the price over both MA's into opposite direction), anyway, that SELL is too low,considering both conditions...and presuming EA has calculated minpricemovement from the previuos candle...
Regarding the close, I think not closing on 1 seems logical, but closing in point 2 is not. That's why we got many,many small losers...
I think at closing in 2 conditions,related to distance/separation between MA's:

1.Bar close between MA's, when separation has a certain bigger value.(we preserve pips)
2.Price crossing both MA's, when we got a smaller MA's separation.(high chances for reverse)

Don't bother now with a reply, I know you're busy,hehe!

One final update, for now, and a fix.

Update: please read Trend Trading in post 1 re TrendConfirmationCandleTF.

Fix: BB was claiming a trend on a chart that was clearly indicating a range. I had missed out a couple of conditionals. This is an essential fix.

Hey, I'm already in!!! New dashboard for Bob v10 version is on it's way

But Steve is faster than me (or have more time than me ), I have to work on this between midnight and 3h00am (most of the time)!!... not always easy to keep my eyes open, I often fall asleep on my keyboard hehehehe.

Steve, I took a look at some of your works since a while (other EAs that you have produced recenlty), honestly, I must admit that you set the quality bar higher, always higher. I should hire you in my business

Stay tuned!

We have the great coding superpowers onboard now. Myself with all the ideas (and Nanningbob taking the glory)... and phover and steve with the coding etc.

does it get better than this? I think not.

am i right in assuming that the system cannot really be backtested as yet? I have done a few back tests but the results are not very pretty.

Anyone else care to share their backtest strategy curve?
