I have only M1 data until 6th July in my demoaccount. But I think for the use only the fast bands that's enough.



@stevefx



Here's a little backtest with SL 30 on GBPUSD (11 months)

Regards
25 point blocks produce a 49 point range in which price can move around and not produce a bar. 49 before a reversal is printed + another 24 points in the direction its currently moving in, which can affect trailing stops.

The only way to force it to be honest is to use 51 point stops and 76 point trailing stops with that block size.

So, obviously that is not an efficient SL system in any case, but it should produce true results. Subtract 5% maybe for widening spreads and slippage.

Using 20 point blocks, 40 point SL, 60 trailing stops, I can't produce a profitable result. Is this because my SL system is now too inefficient or because backtests are now being true? Impossible to tell, probably a combination of both.

So again back to the forward tests...

Yes, I realize the error and I have also tested with 50 SL. Right after my last post.
Thanks for the tips, I'll do some tests with your settings. (just for playing)

I'm testing since yesterday some currencies in the demo account with my settings. I want to try at least 2-4 weeks for useful results.

Hello Seller 9 this is checkmail and recently only have checking renko and have an found an good source for an better signals on renko chart which also might be incorporated in EA.

Am using 2macrossover arrow indicator and an MA(Trend) indicator on renko charts for mine signals.

Am using 40/60 setting for MA and 5-8 for 2MAcrossover indicator, also renko bar color is lime for uptrend and white for downtrend.

Can you code an simple ea :
To open and close, buy-sell orders in an continuous loop.
No money Management Required.
Extern inputs : Lot size, Number of lots, Takeprofit, Stoploss,
Trailing-stop too.

The Ea should open an buy trade when an renko bar goes lime, it should be supported by the MAcoloredline(Trend.mq4) as well as should close the trade when it hits tp or there is an change in trend signal from the same two indicators but to downside, or if gone in loss should hit sl.

This function must go on in an continuous loop as long as the ea is active on charts.

Do you think you can code it ? would send you an image if required.

Also i wana know whats the difference between renko 2.2v and 3.2v version.

Hello Seller9 this is checkmail and am attaching the indicators and tpl file along with this post, along with an txt file.

Am still confused whether mine arrows would be enough or would it require an MA filter, or simply go with the renko bar versions.

Am also attaching an image file to describe mine basic idea of EA based on Renko charts.Might have to open it in paint program.

Hello friends this is checkmail and appreciate Rolands4 efforts to point out but both sar and stocs repaint badly, even on renko charts you may view history and check it.so mine advise is to go with the basic renko ea, which would be profitable in trending markets, though it might go in minor losses in flat market.

But do think we would require an good trailing stop-loss function with an true/false option on extern inputs.

After all profit and loss both are inversely related to each other to form an CAPITAL.

I still have some more work to do on this EA as it isn't quite ready for prime time yet. Below are several screen shots, these are weekly camarilla lines which so far seem to be working better than the daily ones. The first 2 are winning trades that would have gone a little farther but got taken out by my TP that was set at 200 pips. I used a partial close on these and then let the remainder run.
The third screen shot is a loser and if anyone has any input on how we can avoid these please give us your opinion.

So far I am only testing the reversal Mode, No Breakout Mode yet.
The yellow line is a 20sma.

I have been using the same settings for both the weekly and daily demos.

1) PC = Half way between H3 and L3
2) Initial SL is at H4 or L4
3) SL moves to BE when PC is taken
4) TS kicks in when H4 or L4 is hit

Here are this weeks results for the weekly settings, I have made changes at times to the code so take that into account.

@seller9 , when you are looking at the reversal mode camarilla trade that is from h3 to L3 , please bring in the h1 or the L1 .

the rule is when you take the sell it must hit the t1 or the first target , if it does not then bring the sl to cost and keep repeating the same . only when the t1 is hit the trade will go thru .

i have been looking at breakouts this whole week , and i have seen that when it does not hit the target it reveres real bad. so t1 hit is must for reversal and target hit is must for breakout.

I was running the RB EA using 25 pip bars to see what it would do as mentioned previously by another trader.

So So so far 50/50

You can see the settings on the right side of the chart.
UseCandleCloseMode = true other 2 false.

hi seller9 .... do you have success with RB_renko v8 or v9 ? At the end I have to say ... mine setfile similar to yours doesn't work ... to much false breakouts ... only rare and little wins ... the acc balance is slowing down step by step ... It worked some time in the past .... why not furhtermore ? Dunno

Anybody here with consistent (!) success, at least during 1-2 months or so ... documented by a myfxbook account ?

Similar results to yours, it likes trends.
Now I am experimenting with 25 pip bars like mentioned in post 1517, that seems to have promise so far as it was positive for the week.
