In February around 100pips. In January even less. This isn't too much of a problem because in this configuration the ea can capture 100+ pips in a single run if the condition are favorable... and.. lets face it...since the beginning of the year, the trading conditions are 'criminal'.

Just playing around with some range bars, if I see something that looks interesting I will keep everyone updated. Here is a possible trade below but because its Friday may not complete the required sequence for a trade. The yellow line was placed on the chart yesterday just for a time reference, so that about a 12 hour movement has taken place so far. At this time it looks like the last requirement as shown by the lights has not been met so this trade will probably never come to life.

This using the ichimoku v1.01 EA from the Kumo BO site I am working on, just thru it on a couple of charts to see what would happen.

Ok.. so here it is.
You have to look at the starting hours. 10am for me is the london opening.
This set is tested only on eurusd.
If you like to test it on other pairs, i suggest to look first on the history of that pair to see when the activity is most likely to begin(on asian pairs you can see quite often strong activity way earlier than london opening)
Also, the BE an SL levels are tunned for eurusd. On pairs with less speed i suggest you change those values in accordance with the expected payoff.

Happy trading for all of you.

L.E. [b]Seller...
The way the tradeclosureafter profit works is that none of the management or closure routines take affect until you show some profit, even so small. Up until that point you are at the mercy of the SL and TP you may have sent with the original order.
Once some profit is shown a ProfitFlag is set telling the EA that at one point you have been in profit. Now even if the trade goes back out of profit this flag stays in place and your tarde managment and closure routines stay in affect looking for closures.

These 2 settings affect how this works.

CloseTradeAtOpenOfNewCandle = true; Will only activate on new candle, this setting only works if the next setting is set to true.

TradeClosureAfterProfit = true; If set to false will be active all the time

I thought that was the case... but i'm puzzled....how many times when you place a trade it will not go in your direction at least with the spread? I think this doesn't help too much.
I personally prefer when this option is activated to close only the trades that are in profit

Totally agree.. never seen a trading market like now.. the big financial crisis.. and now europe.. everything comes together now...

I think, if we can manage it together to create a set-file which can provide us constantly withpips, that would be enough!! ... but really.. ur setting are looking quite well.. just today it bought me 30 pips (could have been more, but i started the ea too late)..

I will keep on testing them.. :-).. thanks again!

Your welcome to try, I think others may have tryed without success.

I just take my time and do forward tests, I have seen too many wonderful back tests making me millions, only to blow the account in the real world. The best tests are the real world on a live .01 lot account when you get a set file that is working on a demo account. It takes time, we can't all get rich overnight, we only have a few trillion to play with, may not be enough for all of us once the cat is out of the bag.

Good Luck

Yes.. ur absolutely right. I have my little private server whichs runs 24/7... i have already installed ur ea with several settings files on it.. when i got a "good" working version, i will post it here immediately for you guys to retest.

As i already said, i do really hope that ur system will bring a few pips (constantly).. thats really enough

btw... seller9 i am a software engineer on my own, seen a lot of ea's etc. here. but ur ea is really impressive.. its very very complex.. good work

Take care!

Tex, as far as i can see, ur only using the CCI in ur settingsfile right?.. why not TDI and Ichi as confirmation?

I am asking, cuz the TDI gave today a buy signal much earlier than ur entry.

  • Edited 3:22pm Mar 2, 2012 2:58pm | Edited 3:22pm
I prefer trading from london opening because london session moves around 40% of liquidity. When the PA is going in one direction usually it has some pressure behind to push it forward.
I'm using only the angle of TDI on 2 (very)different timeframes because is hard enough to make them show the same values, and when this happens it usually means that the market is ready to make a move. I found that a cross on TDI doesn't add to much of a value to the overall performance of the EA. With the cross setting active i have less trades, but not of a better quality so i decided not use it anymore.
I'm using CCI just to filter some sudden moves in an already established trend, moves that are very annoying.
I don't know what to do in a ranging day with lots of false breackouts(like 10th of january this year). The only solution i found for that is to tell the ea to stop after 2 losing trades.

As i said earlier.. if u like to test this .set on other pairs you have to look how those pairs are behaving. EurUsd on february has some strong moves and some crappy days. But in those crappy days the wicks on the candles are not very long. If you look at GbpUsd, on the other hand, you'll see lots of days with lots of candles with long wicks. These days are criminals.
The AudUsd, shows in history some nice clean moves... but just in history when everything is frozen. In reality the lack of liquidity from asian session makes the pair to move very erratic until the candle forms.

It's up to you guys to study the market, the pairs and find those little breaches that can be speculated.

L.E. I'm sharing my point of view, because i'm sure everyone here has his own. I have my way of thinking, Seller9 for example, has his own. I'm convinced that it is just a matter of time until someone comes with a brilliant idea. We just need to cooperate and share our visions to help this happen.

The latest version 1.07 along with an updated PDF has been posted on the first page. No version 1.06, went right to v1.07 (7 is lucky Number). You will need to read through some of the past posts to get up to speed on some of the things that have been added, such as the ichimoku break out. I didn't go into any detail about it in the PDF, I will rely on your abilities to do some hard raeding over the weekend. There have been a lot of code changes to make the EA less cpu intensive which should help some of you with less horses. Also a few bugs were found that should improve upon some of the previous settings that may have had questionable results at times. But I spent many hours in front of the screen watching trades develope to try and make sure the logic was performing correctly the way I thought it should. There is still probably going to be some bugs, so you may want to try the same settings you were using in a previous version to see if you get the same results or they could be even better.

Have fun and lets start piping with version 1.07 at the open.

Good Luck

Thanks very much, I think by the time you finish with this EA it will be able to trade every combination possible.
Whenever you want to add volatility filter to your baby give us a shout.

Have a great weekend and thanks again for ETB.
