Backtest is going straight down on me too, it's a nice down equity curve, lol.
I disabled even the volatility conditions, tried different values, but still the same. Previous version(without range) was at 50% profit from 2007 until now, this one crashes...I'm pretty convinced there's still tweaks to apply to the translation of the strategy into code...lol, that was an epic one! ;-)

With a due sense of dread and wrist-slashing despair, I just know that a user guide will become necessary at some stage.

I have numbed the pain of writing the damn this with some alcohol, so the confused results are available from post 1, for anybody feeling strong/daft enough to try to make sense of them.

The guide was extremely coherent and lucid. You obviously didn't drink enough.

Hi Steve,
Enclosed is the last of 3 BT's that I ran on BigBob......All three were pretty much the same and were the last update.....I tested EU,EJ and the Cable last...1/1/2009 to 1/1/2011..
If you need the original, my software will strip out the mods so you can see the trades...
I saved everything on the Cable since it was done last and all three were on D1 charts..
All three OOTB except for BE,BEP TS and no swap filters which was the way I am running it..
Hope this helps......

Have a great week

P.S.====I went ahead and stripped it and posted it......

At first read this seems to confirm what Bob has stated and I am experiencing regarding the need for recovery on some of these larger DD trades. I think Bob's instructions in this regard are becoming the single most valuable lesson I am learning from all NB10 threads.

Will you then release a "Drunken BigBob EA" ?

It will be called 'Fish', short for 'Fished as a Part BigBob'.

Having watched Bob's V10 CTR BOTH take a trade, I finally understand how it works. Blindingly obvious, I know, but I am a bit thick.

**Ignores chorus of 'bit?'**

I realised that BB was using the trend trade closing criteria to close range trades, so I have fixed this - post 1 and an essential fix.

For those of you able to do some basic code editing, there is the option to only close range trades in profit. Go to void LookForRangeTradingOpps() and you will see the commented out lines with the extra conditional. By swapping around the \ coment tag, you can play with this to see if you like it. This can easily become an option if there is a demand.

Gents you have outdone yourselves (if we believe the backtester result that is)

Very encouraging results in BT land. now comes FT efforts. Steve can we call this version 0.1 for pure reference purposes ?

Awesome work y'all,

Nick

Hi Steve,
Had some time sitting here in the truck this AM and ran the Cable over the same track I used yesterday with the same criteria on the latest update…..Not as many trades but the line looks much better….
Enclosed is the data…

Have a great day

period: january 2007-today (very good one, many different conditions)
config: (only the ones different from OOTB)
timeframe :1H
time: 0 to 7 and 22 to 24
minpips candle trigger: 40
SL: 50
Jump stop: 50
update to be :10
pips update to be: 1
lot size:0,1 (can be even 0,3 and will not breakdown)

I think results speak for themselves. It is just beautiful. this is yesterday version downloaded around 18:00 GTM
Drawdown is amazingly low for 0.1 lots (639 USD!!!). In fact, this backtest starts with a "affordable" 3000 USD.
With a money managment module, results could be more impressive.

I will try to test latest version asap.

regards to all (Steve you are great, thankyou for all)

Glad so many of you are having fun.

There is something brilliant on its way. Last week, El Dee contacted me to code an ea that works like this (imagine a sell trade):

 

  1. take the sell
  2. at the start of each subsequent candle, take a new sell if the market has set a new low by x pips. Move the stop of the previous trade to breakeven.
  3. at each subsequent new low, take a fresh trade, move the stop of the previous one to breakeven and trades prior to that have their stops moved to the high of the candle one to the right of where their stop already is.

This way, the stops follow in a caterpillar - the name of the EA. Imagine the profitability for anyone catching the recent xxxchf moves - perfect for V10 trend trades.

The caterpillar jumping stop is much harder to code than you might imagine, so the code is not yet correct. Once it is, manual traders can use Cat and I can add it to BB as a trend-trading option. Fantastic.

Looks like we're not the only ones having fun.
When reading your enthusiastic post it occurs to me that you also have a lot of fun coding and learning.
