Seller,

Is it possible to introduce in the expert advisor references to other offline graphic, in which we would use a renko with a higher brick size, to filter the entries?

A larger brick size (25), works quite well by itself as shown in post #1538, give that a try. I am running that setup on my live account now, will see how it does this week, it is slow due to the brick size but a nice steady money stream is better than none.

Just thru up a quick chart of NZDUSD to see what it would look like. I only have enough history to get what I show below, but it looks like there was 1 very good trade in that time span and the second trade (short) would be open.

Be sure to get the latest version 9 from page 1, I think I uploaded it a day ago becaue of a few minor changes that affected the BEJS.

hi seller9 ... and others ... any good news here ? My attempts arn't very succesful ... wins and losses ... losses and wins ... so far the picture isn't clear for using the RB_renko v9 with both 10 or 25 pips bar size strategies ...

My results from this week are below. Overall a pretty good week despite the havoc of Thursday.

EURUSD (V7) = +58 (3 W, 3 L, 1 BE)
EURUSD (V8) = +62 (3 W, 3 L, 1 BE)
USDCAD (V7) = -30 (1 L)
AUDCHF (V8) = + 39 (4 W, 2 L, 3 BE)
AUDUSD (V8) = +139 (2 W, 1 L)
Total = +268 pips

For the last two weeks I have run back test vs forward test for the above pairs and they are still matching well. I know some of you are not having as much luck and I wonder if you are trying to run the same conditions on each pair. I run different set files for each pair....
Results for the last week for RB_V8 were.....

EURUSD = +60 (3 win + one open trade at BE)
AUDUSD = +76 (2 win)
USDCAD = +0 (one open trade in draw down)
AUDCHF(1) = -45 (4 win 3 loss)
AUDCHF(2) = +22 (3 win 3 loss)

I am running two different set files for AUDCHF, the (2) version I have been running for the last couple of weeks but it is running with a BandOffsetSLPIPS = 0 and when I ran it on V7 it did not look very stable (opened and closed trades randomly) so I did not post my setfiles for that. The (1) version is what I posted previously. I'll include setfiles for the (2) version, which seem to be running ok with V8 and the setfile for EURJPY, which I have not started to run yet.

Seller9,
I did notice an issue this week when I restarted two of my MT4 platforms that the RB_V8 immediately opened trades, though the signals were not all valid. I closed the positions out shortly there after but it may be an issue. Also, since most of my setfiles do not use a fixed stoploss but rather by the BandOffsetSLPPip parameter, it would be good to have the EA open positions based on risk %, rather than a fixed lot size.

I am still seeing my forward tests match almost exactly to my back tests, which should bode well moving forward.

Here is the Camarilla EA, I haven't had much time to give it a good work out and I don't have time right now to explain all the settings but if you understand how Camarilla works you should be able to figure it out. All the targets are selectable by the user accept when you have Break Out Mode selected and a BO is triggered, then it uses some default settings, so you may want to start off by trying it with BO Mode set to false. I used 5 pip bars for my tests but you can try what ever you want. If you want you could even put it on a M15 time candle chart like the original idea for this was used.
The EA requires no indicators as it does all the calculations itself.

I will try to put out more info later on when I get time.

Try version 10 on first page I made a code change that should stop that, everything else is the same as version 9.

Just ran it in visual backtest and it seems to be taking breakout trades even when set to false.

Can you please look into the EA's partial profit logic as it sometimes doesn't work? Also if you can update it with other options in RB_10 that would be great. Thanks!!

Sometimes the PC trade does not go through so it is missed, I am adding a fix that should help that.

What other options?

I hope someone can help me?

I have been trading Renko systems successfully, but only for a few weeks. My biggest problem is in the area of backtesting and I have two questions on that subject:

1. I have several EA's and scripts that convert M1 data to Renko data, storing said data in a folder called "Renko". These are mostly commercial EA's and scripts that I have purchased. All of them seem to suffer from the same (IMO) fault. They create all the Renko data just fine, but donm't seem to handle the symbols.sel and symbols.raw file properly. So, if I convert three pairs, I end up with three Renko M2 files, but the symbols files only contain information on the last one I converted. Nuisance!!! I have to keep converting. As I write this, I relaise that I could have multiple Renko folders, one per pair. Still a minor nuisance. Thoughts?

2. I really can't get my head around a M2 file created for backtesting vs. just a normal M2 file. The file for backtesting seems to have randome brick sizes and produces crap backtesting results. Files created in the "normal" (not backtesting) mode have perfect 10-pip bricks and backtest beautifully. Can anyone enlighten me?

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Note that while I've been trading Renko a short time, I've been trading computerised systems for over 50 years.

Cheers

Check post #1530 for the setfiles for the results I just posted. I am also including the setfile for a better performing AUDCHF also a setfile for EURJPY. For EURJPY, I only had history data for Aug, Sept and two weeks of April?

I'd recommend visiting the link below if you want to backtest Renko's. I use this MT4 script for backtesting and it works well. It has its short comings but overall a good product for a fair price.
