Hallo together
I want say to you that I have change my Settings today. The Cloud settings and also the EA Settings change from
9-26-52 ---> 7-22-44
So you will ask why. The period setting for Ichimoku Kinko Hyo or Ichimoku cloud is 9, 26, 52. This translates into 1.5 weeks, one month and 2 months considering 6 days working week in those days in Japan. Many traders tend to change it to 7, 22, 44 considering the 5 days working week.
But changing the Cloud I almost must change the other Settings,this all i want post for the next Trading Week on Sunday Evening
Hello Everyone!
I am new here at forexfactory therefore I can't pm...
I am writing here cause I have read these thread and I have good opinion about developers of this thread. Basically my message is for those who are able to code EA.
I am going tell you what EA should do, then I will share my idea how to use it and then we could develop it.
1. Ea should open a stop order X(first input) pips higher in direction of last closing candle.
2. Place stop loss for that order in Y(second input) pips.
3. If comes candle with close in opposite direction then close pending order or already opened.
For now that is.
In the attachments are the trades made with the settings I've posted. I should mention, that I made the backtesting and optimization with the u7 version, and this live testing is made with the u8 version with AutoBuySell enabled.
Meanwhile I finished the AUDUSD, here are the settings:
Range bar size: 16 pips
Tenkan sen: 3
Kijun sen: 14
Senkou span: 56
UseCleanCandleClose: false
UseBEJS: true
AutoBreakevenpips, Autotakeprofitpips: false
Breakevenpips: 230
Breakevenprofit: 1
Jumpingstop pips: 1
Takeprofit pips: 231

How was the optimization done. Did you forward test the optimized results say if opt period was 12 months Jan-Dec 2010 then I would apply the best profit factor and mim DD% setting to Jan 2011 - April 2012 to see if the results would remain in the range or something has changed. I found an excellent document on that (attached). It will be useful to do the way taught in the doc.

Thanks for the document, I'll read it later today. I've done the optimization between 2010. oct 1. and 2012. apr 19.
I've chosen the best profit factor. There was not a big difference between the DD% in the first 8-10 results, it was inside 1% most of the time.
Here are the charts based the settings on the 4 pairs I posted.
At May 1st I have lost my internet connection, so that's why there are some big candles. Also that's why the EA didn't entered on the AUDUSD sell, because my terminal logged back when the connection came back, and that's stopped the EA working (it's an MT4 'feature' if you login to your account/different account, all the EA's are shut down). That would be around 160 pips profit now. I don't know what's happened to the GBPUSD, but there were some good trades missed too.
As you can see these settings are not too fast, so maybe there will be no trade for a couple of days, but it can catch bigger movements, and can keep you in those moves for a long time.
Hello,
I'm new here and have my English not so good.
This is what I have to translate with Google. So be careful;-)
A big congratulations to all of this EA to drive forward so successfully.
I use the last few days Ichimoku_U10_409 and have a problem.
After a trade, whether running in profit or stop, the EA is on "Trading Suspended" position. Only after re-running the EA shows "Active Trading".
The info line "expert" is the MetaTrader only "Ichimoku_U10_409 unknown ticket 123 456 for Order Close function" reported error.
I have MetaTrader 4 version 409 on Windows 7 64bit.
regards
Watching this thread with interest....having a mess around using iceman's settings on the new cloud settings just to see the EA in action. Currently in profit on the AUD/JPY live on demo account today!! Very impressive.
Presumably more work needs to be done before its advised to use this live with real money but you guys should be proud of what you've currently got!

I1ve been running the EA with the optimized range bar size and settings in the last 4 weeks on 4 pairs (EU, GU, EJ, AU). During this period there is a $457 closed profit and $700 floating profit - the equity was $528 4 weeks ago, now it's $1685.
The win% is around 45%, average win/loss is 2:1 ($44 vs. $22), max drawdown was 29%. See the other details in the statement I attached. The set files for the 4 pairs are in the other attachment. The range bar sizes for the pairs are:
AUDUSD: 16 pips
EURUSD: 16 pips
EURJPY: 29 pips
GBPUSD: 17 pips
