Ultimate TRADE EA

unimak,

Earlier I saw you reference yearly, monthly, weekly and daily pivots. Later you mentioned only the daily pivot. If the system is stronger using all four, then that is what should be used. As far as coding these- well, it's just simple math as you said earlier.

This does not sound difficult at all for Steve to code. He is however, very peticular about having all the rules in place; in very clear terms, before he begins. I would suggest writing this out completely with the rules you know are best and placing it in post one of this thread.

Steve uses his shell template that has every exit option you could imagine, already in place. This is cool and will be very helpful to us!

I know how Steve works. If he comes to look at this thread (and he will) and sees the first page as it is now, he will leave and not look back. Make sure every rule is clearly stated in the very first post. Having the rules on page 12 will turn off just about everyone that finds your thread.

Be specific about things, for example: When you mention the price "cutting" the pivot- do you mean the price just breaking the pivot, or do you mean a candle close on the opposite side? What timeframe? These things would be very important for anyone trading this system to know...If Steve is left to guess or interpret the rules on his own, he will dump the project immediately and move on to another.

Take a few minutes to rewrite post one. Giving potential readers a thorough breakdown of the system right away will generate much more interest, from trades and programmers alike.
Please for now let us not confuse ourselves , we stick to day for now, let us stabilise one portion then only we move ahead, earlier i thought of going in one full flow, then it became too confusing so there is no progress.

we do only day logic ,
You also mention tp1, tp2, tp3. Do We just fire a trade and exit 1/3 of the trade at three different levels or three trades at the same time and exist one each at three different levels? or something else? What are the rules to enter second or third trades?

Nice work mike. Steve's shell is very cool- it has every exit configuration we could need. This is a good start. I wish I could help you with the code, but I can't. Hope someone else can....

Ok, had a few spare minutes to knock this together but it doesn't seem to want to trade at the moment so i am posting as a work in progress as i have other commitments i need to deal with.

I took Steve's shell and added the relevant code to use seller9 code snippet, this is found in CheckSignals() at bottom of the code. At the moment if you look at the display you will see "Buy Signal R1:" and "Sell Signal S1:". What you want is three "1" for a Buy or three "2" for a Sell, these are based on the three checks in the code snippet from seller9...

refer to post 1 , we just enter say with 1 std lot and we will try to book it at tp 3 which is 30 pips , at each 10 pip level we will consider it as tp 1 , so suppose we buy eu at 1.3150 then tp 1 is at 1.3160 tp2 at 1.3170 and tp3 at 1.3180 .

as each level brks the sl will be kept at 1 pip below the level so 1.3159 , 1.3169 and 1.3179 this will continue till the sl triggers and closes the trade . there is no concept of partial booking here. those are fancy features which can be implemented later on also .

if the price just hit tp1 and the spread more than one, you would not be able to move sl just one pip below tp1.

i think this in seller9's hands had some real potential. results from the basic version he posted are incredibly encouraging

dont forget that his EA's trading logic is strictly a "little different" to unimak's rules


is there any way for the redeveloped EA to incorporate the 3 levels of profit and trailing stop as mentioned in seller9's post #121? :-

"Next week I am going to add in the moving stop loss based on the 3 Targets so the results should be better...Also when I add in the 3 Targets the profits should go up even more I would think, some of these would have made it to T3 I believe"
I've done some bug fixing and added option to override other rules and just use Rule 1, from seller9 code snippit, so now it does trade at least.

Still needs improvements but these will have to wait unless anyone else has a go.

Regards

Mike

in that case i would covered by buy or sell price so no loss in the trade,
Hi Seller9 and all

I let this EA (Pivots_V3) run on my second Live Account. On the first Live Account run Ichimoku V8.

What we need for the Pivot Ea

1. BEJS same as in the Ichimoku

Is this possible

hey icemaan

unfortunately it seems seller9 has at this point disengaged from further development of both ultimate trade EA and ichimoku EA because of the disagreement over code (damn shame, as even this basic pivots v3 is trading well)

in the meantime to add BEJS etc i suggest you download MTPM ea by steve hopwood, its a trade manager EA that will have BE JS, and all sort of other MM options. it sits on the same platform as your main EA, on another chart.

These trades are based on Ichimoku breakout ea settings. I should be keeping this in the other threads.

The attachment statement can see some of the nice trades. I did close some trades manually, too early, because i was not sure. But eventually those turned out to be winner. Missed around 150 pips.

Average per day i am getting 70-100 pips, but due to trailing stop, not able to achieve all those entire range of pips.

I have increased my lot size for usdjpy after looking at 4 continuous winner in this week. But not sure about other pairs till now.

Anyways, thanks Iceman for sharing the settings. Looking forward for the next week without interfering in the EA trades.
