Caillou's multi-length VQ auto-trader by SteveHopwood

Latest update in post 1. Please read the 'All Averages indi and Martingale lot sizing' section in post 1.

Be warned, the update required a lot of copy/pasting. Good luck.

Thanks for the new toys to play, Steve. Will test em out :-)

Hey Steve,

today there was a valid short signal which the EA should have taken but it didn't take it. AA-MA Trend was down, the VQ Indicator showed short too. But in the EA comments the VQ status was : Trend is down, but not tradeable yet. Do you have an idea which parameters the EA needs to take this signal and open this trade, or is it a bug ? Here's a screenshot. Thanks

Edit : In Addition : After the described signal, if it was taken and the TP was hit, the EA should have opened a trade at every new down candle till the VQ Indicator switched back to long. That's how the EA worked before the most recent update. This behaviour along with the AA-MA filter and mg progression should have some legs imo.

Hello,

what a great day for this EA trading the 10pip renko charts !!

See attached screenshot. Up 33,45 % this month, with decent MM ( 0.1lots, TP= 30, SL =30 ) and martingale enabled...

The EA ist great in trendy periods. But gets hurt in choppy markets. If there would be some filter to stay out of choppy situations this EA would be a steady pip harvester...

Too bad this thread is dying..

I'm also testing this EA on Renko, I agree results are mixed, when trending I get very good results chopped up a bit in ranging markets and overall about flat.

I am not seeing a benefit from using two VQ as an entry filter, I was playing around with a filter and think the Supertrend works best with Renko.

I think the VQ and renko is a good combination for an EA , just need the right filter to reduce the number of entries in ranging mkts

Agree on this. I have the EA VQ slow/fast Parameters set to equal numbers. See Screenshot. Perhaps it would be the best if we take the Spider EA instead of the Caillou EA and change it so it would take more than one trade per VQ slope period just like the Caillou EA does..

tex has been using this EA successfully and asked me in a pm to add the Hanover module.

I have done this - update in post 1; I shall be adding the H module to a lot of bots in the coming days, so this gave me a bit extra practise. 'Practise makes perfect' is the saying. I bloody well wish this applied to playing the piano. Hey ho.

tex, perhaps you could post here how you have been successful with this bot.

Cheers
