Friends,

I must admit, I am getting a kick out of seeing all the different ideas on how to use this trading strategy. Some of the ideas are absolutely brilliant (like the thought to use Renko charts) and I'm kind of pissed that I didn't come up with it myself. Nonetheless, there are probably an infinite amount of possibilities just using the original setup and customizing your style to the strategy, so keep up the good work!

That being said, I am going to be doing a special webinar on Monday July 23rd at 8am Eastern Time where I will be giving a tutorial on how to use The "Original" Rapids trading strategy. Though it won't be as complicated as Seller9 has programmed it to be now, I do have 6 different methods based on the original design. You are all welcome to attend if you would like to see my original creation by clicking on and signing up with the link below. Thanks again to everyone for contributing!

My one account is still open (just missed the SL), but the other one closed that trade when the SL was hit, difference between Brokers.

The first trade is the previous trade that is still open, it may not do much untill London Opens, and the second one is one that opened a bit ago.

The 2nd eurusd trade also reached stoploss. Eurjpy is on it's way.

We may need to look into additional filters to stop the fakeouts in ranging conditions.

as you try other pairs , please try to optimize on the renko bar size , as the same dosage will not work, you need to adjust the size as per the pair u work.

some have very tight spreads, some have big spreads ...

No, its the only one, it is a bug in the display I need to fix.

What Broker are you using, I need to open a demo account there and see if I can fix it? It doesn't affect the EA, just the way the BEJS is displayed, I believe it has to do with the number of digits.

I saw one other trader also showing that problem.

I will be testing this week a TMA Slope filter from Bob's 10.2 forum to see if it will help with the couple of bad trades we get once in a while.
I have attached the indicator so you can see what you think of it. If you want to know more go over to Bob's forum and read up on it. The EA will not need the indicator as it will do the calculations itself, but put it on your charts and see what you think, will it help?

Just remember the past histogram bars look different than the present bar, as it recalculates past bars as the slope gets stronger or weaker. All we are interested in is the present bar.

+ - 0.4 are the trigger points, this can be user adjustable in the EA settings.

In the screen shot below it is showing we are in a ranging period between - 0.4 and + 0.4, so no trade would be taken durring this ranging period.

Thanks,

it's not on page 1 ? or your gonna test the filter first before releasing it ?

about the new filter i know it's to try to filter out the bad trades but in reality we do need some bad trades if the EA is still doiing a good job

So far for the week I am up roughly +278 pips with no losers so far.

Just curious, How many PIPS did you make this week after the post above with Fridays EOD results ?

keep up the good work

I went thru my broker data and found that if one trades from london open to london close , our system will not fire any bad entries (99 % ). we just should not leave any positions open for overnight moves . The filter in our minds :-)

I ended up with 2 losers so roughly 200 pips for the week, I did not trade Sunday.
I opened up a demo at your Broker and the fix for the BEJS does work but will be in version 5 when it comes out.

I was wondering about just trading the London Session also to see if we stay out of the ranging periods, so what you found is interesting.

I think this next week I will test one demo on just London Session with Aggressive Mode and AO set to true.

The other one will trade 24/5 with Aggressive Mode, AO and Slope Filters set to true and see what happens.

EUR/USD and EUR/JPY pairs only.

I will be running version 5, but the only thing added is the slope filter, so with slope set to false it will be like version 4.
If it helps at all I will post version 5 next weekend, if it doesn't thne will stay with version 4 until a better idea comes along.

is anybody else getting an issue whereby the EA makes the mt4 demo its running on shut down? ive tried this EA on multiple brokers and it cant seem to want to run for more than about 12 - 18 hours before the mt4 platform has shut down.

upon restarting the platform the m1 charts which you apply the range bars templates to , i find have had the template removed and reverted to 1H charts. the m2 offline charts are still up and running also, but some of them have the EA missing.

this issue is really frustrating me can someone shed light? any input appreciated

If we set the trading hours on the EA to start and end with the London Session, how will it handle a trade that is still open at the end of the London Session? Will it continue to place jumping stops or will it just use the last stop sent to market before the end of the session?

200 pips well that's good since im looking for 100 pips min per week so that 200 pips is really good

- is it only on EUR/USD or both EUR/USD & EUR/JPY the 200 pips results ?

i also would recommend to trade "London Open till London Close" (or London Close + 1hr)

I start mine up Sunday night and let it run for the entire week without touching it with no problems. Sometimes I even let it run through the weekend without intervention and it continues right where it left off when the market reopens Sunday night.

It will continue to control the trade even after your stop hour as long as you stay connected, it just won't take any new trades if the present one closes until it reaches its start time again. Just keep the EXpert Advisor enabled.
