jono, Bob; time to take Spider to another level.

I am signing off now as I am away for a couple of days. Whilst I am gone, would you two care to put together a couple of set files: one for the Asian session, one for Europe/US.

Over the weekend, I will update Spider so it has separate Asian and European session times inputs and sets tp/sl etc accordingly.

Cheers

Hi Steve I'm still researching settings for Spider and whilst I will say that I'm liking AA MA Method 5 for its smoothness, I've not yet settled on a value.

Also, I only activate Spider after LO as I find the F Hour too choppy and then I set TPs around pivots or confluences with other levels so as to maximise potential profits, rather than a fixed exit. Thus I'm following the suggestions made by yourself and Ronald R to add an ammount of manual input and not expect any robot to "do it all"......likewise I remove Spider when I've banked my morning's quota - or when I see a consolidation

Regards

Jono

With fixed TP and SL levels (or jumping/trailing) Spider does really well when there is momentum in the market but without constant manual adjustment (difficult if you are tracking multiple pairs) can get crucified when it consolidates. The ability to set TP and SL based on ATR(Period x) would be REALLY useful.

Try MPTM, does exactly that. Check out SH's signature and look for the user guide in the attachments of that thread

Just a note: the extern int MA_Shift in this indi didnt do any thing...not sure if anyone used that anyhow but this one is fixed.

I was aware of MPTM but didn't realise it had the ATR properties. Thanks for the heads up.

As I mentioned above, I too have noticed this, thus I only activate Spider for limited periods during the traditionally volatile times of the day http://www.forexfactory.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Once consistancy has been achieved, one can then increase the lot size, bank one's daily quota and have the rest of the day free for more pleasant activities http://www.forexfactory.com/images/icons/icon6.gif

Hi Steve, Thanks for taking the EA to another level...I'm sorry, I could not contribute much during the last couple of weeks as i had some personal tragedy to deal with...Im away from the net for this whole month...I will be a regular from next month onwards and hopefully contribute some info to your wonderful work..its simply genius...

I have got some PM, asking me, if i had abandon it as im not posting much... No i haven't im using this indicator for a long long time and ...

What better Proof you need..When Steve..himself is using it on Live account and his other demo account statements shows the results, plus other members positive experience using this EA....I cannot stress this enough..forget the settings even... if you choose any settings and run this for a month or so..you would be profitable...just run it and see the results for yourself...

You will get the settings you desire, eventually...suiting your trading style, pair and money management etc etc..

Thanks again Steve for all the work...

Thanks for the kind words, but I am only the mechanic here; all the ideas have been contributed by others. Your system was impressive enough to start with; adding the AllAverages filter was the thing that ensured the EA can be profitable.

I had intended sending you a pm this weekend thanking you for sharing your system with the rest of us. I shall drink a toast or seven to you tonight.

I am deeply sorry about your tragedy. I wish there were something the rest of us could do to alleviate your pain; all we can do is sympathise.

All the best in the next few weeks. Our thoughts and best wishes are with you.

Great stuff - thanks a lot Steve!
Gives you some more stuff to play with. Have fun.

More seriously, wouldn't it be great to find a combo that allows Spider to be successful without needing Martingale?

We shall see.

Sorry Steve, I was away on a work assignment last week, I'm still testing my Asian and London/NY settings, but M1/50ma/10x10 Sydney open is working a treat so far...
Still working on LO/NY...

good work bob, have you got the results into excel/myfxbook?

interesting that you are on the 1min and thats working - incredible in fact.

obviously just for now you can use the time settings on 2 versions of the ea so no need to manually do it.

are you running it on a machine that is always on?

Hi,
im actually testing Spider as an scalper on M1, 24/5 . It trades pretty high frequently. The martingale factor is the only reason for this beeing profitable.
But watch for your own:
