Hi E,

Yes that looks correct, as long as the ADX > 22 and trending up.
Ah yes, you are right, that occurred a few bars later, confirming my other signals, wish I was in that now.......

It takes a lot for me to IGNORE you, but you can try.

I just stumbled across this thread and then read the complete pdf by Tony. I have never been good at trading strategies that require discretionary action, ie a certain angle required, judging trends for the same pair but on different TFs, and I just don't do well judging pullbacks and when to enter with them.

The Cobra seems to remove all that and provides very simple clear rules ro follow. Darn, it is Fri. in Asia right now so I will restudy this over the weekend and try it starting Mon. Thanks to all for the input. piprac

Hi TCO,
I did lot of back testing and optimization (using WFA and 99% tick data) on the latest TCO_Cobra and found few improvements we can do using my custom made S/R indicator.
Also, I tested various time frames and it re-confirmed the previous findings by few others which is very good news. I will email you the results as you can't attach anything here.

Have a good weekend.

Sounds good. Thanks!
hey, by the way, did you look at my email 2 days ago with screenshots and a question about using the spinning top as a reversal candle in your latest code?
also, I raised a question in the same email where the entry took place when the second candle did not have a higher high than the 1st qualifyng candle for few long trades?
it's great if you can clarfy these before I go further as no point in optimizing till the code is fully ready.
Cheers.

Hi Anu, I will take a look. Sometimes when I have questions about what the values were during a back test, I will use the data show screen or I will put actual Print statements in the EA and recompile the EA and do the back test again and look a the Print values under the Journal Tab.

Ok, thanks.
I also emailed my amended version to check highs of candles too not just the c'close' values. Have a look at it pls.

And here is first entry for Monday. I have restrict trading times from start of Frankfurt and stop 12 hours later.

Yo, TCO, are you testing this on demo anywhere or moved on to other programming?

Hi E,

I'm still banging this one around. I'm also working on another EA that I have an idea for. Also, I'm a programmer analysyt - mainframe world DB2 and COBOL. I trying to teach myself Java, so that I can write my own backtester and optimizer. Metatrader is too slow. Thanks!

HI
Please see my results with total of 55 trades. Do not look at the fact the the account is in loss but the fact that out of 55 trades 32 are wins and 23 are losses. The maximum consecutive losing trades are 2.

IMHO if we have a simple lot entry then this EA could have a bright future.

Kind regards

Hi astral77,
I beleive in this EA too.
Which time frame did you use? Is it the M5 one?
When you say simple lot entry, do you mean a fixed lot on every trade without using a MM strategy?

I use this strategy also but I use it for scalping and not long term trading. One thing to note that has helped me avoid losing trades is to look at the ADR. ( I know it has been mentioned in this thread somewhere so I am just reiterating )

If the ADR has already been reached exercise extreme caution if if all the signals line up .

For example this morning there was a valid signal given to me on the EUR/USD all the rules had been met however upon looking at the ADR I noticed it had already been reached and was ahead 40 pips. When checking where the SL would be if I decided to take this trade I saw it would have been 45 pips away. Now to expect the EUR to move ANOTHER 45 pips from where it is now ( assuming a 1:1 R/R ) after an already huge move is unlikely. Could it happen? Of course but as traders we need to look at odds and probabilities. After a few candles the pair did in fact reverse thus keeping me from a losing trade.

My point is even if all the rules are met make sure to check the basic stuff also , do not just pull the trigger blindly.

In this case you can see that the research would have paid off and kept you out of a bad trade.

Making money is easy if this system is taken seriously.

Generate the signal from 4H and enter and exit with the same rules on 15mins. Simple!
