Yah a 10 pip loss is fine, but I would like to avoid the 40pippers. Also the gap issue might mean we should not leave the ea open, or trades open over the weekend idk. I understand you restarted your demo, but if we do that everytime something goes array that is not a true indication of what is going on. Anyways we are all still fine tuning and I appreciate the time you are taking zool to backtest and use the sim, because I do not know how myself, and havent found the time to learn.
I've closed all my positions at friday just before the market closed. After that I've started the EA again the moment the market opened. I've set it to look for buy and sell signals. I will check the history to see what went wrong, and caused that big drawdown (maybe that was just me with some screwed up settings, not the EA ). I've reseted my demo account because I've changed the parameters during the weekend, and I'm planning to reset at the beginning of the next week too, so the profit/loss would be obvious.

Last week I used 10 pip range bars, and at the end of the week there was about a 3% gain on the account, but there was almost a full day when the ea didn't run because I had some hardware issues with my computer.

How long are you guys planning to demo this before you consider letting it go live?

I think zool had concerns that the strategy tester wasnt always accurate to forward testing, and posted pics, but if this could essentially be tested months to a year back I hope someone could show some numbers soon.

Those range bar settings look pretty good, I will have this running on a demo on thursdays and fridays because I live trade the other 3 days of the week.

Thanks. For TP I suggest we use 80% of average daily range for 10 days so for EU for example it will be 80% of 100-120pips ADR and same for other pairs. Can we build this thing into the EA else do it manually.

I was thinking along the same lines, tp100 seems excessive for some of these pairs. Just as we vary the rb we should vary tp

At this point i don't care about tp. All i need is only winning trades.When we manage to get to lets say 100% winning trades,then i will manage the lots for every pair.So i will take some profit lets say pips 5 X0,1=5$ and if the pair make constant % of good trades i will raise the lot and it will be 5x0,5 and so on.I want to achieve accurate trade for pair.:nerd:

I rather be in a 100+ pip move, and have some 10 pip loss in ranging market, than not having losses but miss the big trades. Here's my eu chart about this week with 6 pip range bars, you can see the entry points. There's an open trade with 76 pips in profit currently (70 locked in). If I don't count the big move today, then I'm still in profit while taking the ranging loses.

This week I'm using the 6 pip range bars on all the pairs, next week I'll try to set the barísizes with the method seller9 has showed earlier this week. At the beginning of...

What do you think we can ever reasonably expect for winning trades from an ea like this 65-75%. And if the winners can be twice as big as the losers we are golden.

We must try I have tested many Ea's winners,loosers.This is Ea,but infact you can trade the clouds manualy.I have traded ichimoku a little and it's the same.I'm using this setup to manage more trades,also I trade on other acc manualy,so this is bonus.I like forex and the way the things are here.

I trade it live plus demo and my live account is up 10 % in about 5 days so far. This is just a penney account but will gradualy increase the lot size every week as the EA proves itself and I fine tune the settings on the demo account and then move them over to the live account.
I do close out some trades manually in the live account if they look like they have maybe reached their max profit, money is money.

Trades for 04 - 03: .01 lot size, will increase lot size each week as I move along.

CADJPY = -$2.99
AUDUSD = +$5.23
GBLUSD = +$8.95
EURUSD = -$1.00
EURUSD = +$8.06

I let it run 24/5 on the live account as well as the demo account. I am thinking about doing a time study to see when the best time would be to trade for the pairs I am trading. Maybe that way I can skip some of the noise thats still left.

one suggestion when we keep 100 pips as TP it will normally not hit in a day and might roll over to the other day , The only way we can get 100 pips in a day for EU is ( EU has a normal day and we managed to sell near the top , I think that is too much and 99 % we will not hit ) instead if we keep 60 pips that is more achieveable in EU . EU normal day should show a move around 120 -60 pips so if we manage 50 % of that , then it is great achievement.

Just a note for thought.

This is just a starting point and something to be looked at as I am going to do some looking into the ADR for each pair I trade and then adjust these numbers to a resonable percentage of that.
So eventually we will have different settings for each pair for;
1) RangeBar size
2) TP
3) Time to trade
4) BEJS

For tonight I have put some code into the EA to mark on the chart each of the 4 sessions when they are active to see if I can see what would be the best times for each pair and session to trade that pair. Since we are using range bars and not time candles it will be based on my computer time to place these session lines on the chart.
Such as London would be 2 AM for me CST. By doing this maybe we can figure out the best times to set for each pair also. Will be interesting to see if the breakouts coincide with any particular session for different pairs. Maybe by doing this we can avoid some of the noise durring slow times and just stay out all together durring that time.

@Seller,

In case you missed it, post #705 has a possible bug in regards to using the trading time session in the ea. Might be a problem you'll run into if/when you start limiting trade times. My session starts in about an hour, and I'll post another screen if the problem occurs again tonight.
Btw, in case I forgot to say before, very nice job on this ea so far
