Hi bot4us,
I have built an EA incorporating the specs I have seen in the Indi and methods used here in this thread.
In the spirit of this thread I will send you (and anyone else who wants it) a free copy if you want it. It backtests well using certain parameters.
I have already built it and am using it successfully so if you want a copy (and some backtesting results for various parameters), then email me at ([email protected])

This thread has been very generous to my understanding so I am giving back...
Hi forexhard,
I think that you are right johnbridgefx is nothing but a b*llsh&*^er, and i am sure he has never had an EA. The email i sent is linked with my junk i get. It's now 5 days after and i have received nothing. People keep this guy in mind he just wants your email addresses.

You guys only have yourselves to blame. The one guy (me) that has donated THOUSANDS of private hours to this thread has to beg for help when it's needed. But when a complete stranger offers something for free you guys go running for handouts. You all couldn't give away your email addresses fast enough. You get what you deserve, which in this case is nothing.

Yes, in case it isn't clear enough yet, I am just a little bit pissed off at what has transpired over the last 2 weeks around here. I was hoping that the guys giving me 2000 hits per day were better than that, but maybe I was wrong. Maybe SSBO is filled with just as many freeloaders as any other thread around here. I'm really hoping that some of you guys will prove me wrong, but there it is.

You are right there is nobody to blame but me.
Then again there is no way that i qualify for your beta ea, and that's why I didn't bother.
But I really want to test an EA that trades this system. at the moment I am using a EA manager that does allot of things quite well (it belongs to stevehopwood http://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?t=89371 ) But i have to sit here all the time placing trades and trade orders and adjusting them. I lose some good trades because that's the time I sleep (Asian time)

JTH

P.S.
I am sorry that I pissed you off but that wasn't intentional. I am just looking for a better and more efficient way to use this system. and preferably using an EA.

I don't think I'd be promoting Steve Hopwood too much... he abandoned Forex Factory 6 months ago to start up his own forum. I did subscribe there and now I get spam emails from him all the time, they end up in my junk email.

Agreed he can be hard to get on with but there is some very good stuff there. Surprised he spams. Nanningbob moved over there too. Lot of good coders but no Holy Grail or SSBO. :-)

well, maybe not spam as such, but he is always promoting someone or something (probably as an affiliate or partner).

i am also a member over at stevehopwoodforex.com

do not know what mail you are getting, but the only mails i get from him are messages on new EA's in development and good luck wishing on start of trade week. and the occasional heads up on scams, broker related cases and other forex related stuff.

only thing he is promoting is new EA's in development

not once have i recieved a promotional mail, no one there is charging anything. his forum is not affiliated with any broker, unlike other forums.

Thanks for your input, but it's not a matter of being demotivated. I'm as happy and motivated in my life as ever. It's a matter of Return on Investment, just like with my time spent trading (or performing, or traveling, or learning a language, or anything else I put my hand to). Nothing goes on forever at the same pace or the same level of return. It's an awareness that your time can be better spent elsewhere, so you start to shift your priorities.

I am now at that point where this thread is concerned. It's time to take a deeper look at my personal involvement. Not to the SSBO system -- which I have been trading for years before I started the thread -- just my personal participation in the thread itself. Noobs will be coming into the thread and learning about the system for as long as the FF Mods allow it to stay active. But that's not the standard by which I should judge my personal involvement. I have my own standards. And whether the thread stays "alive" or not so that noobs can find it years from now it isn't one of them.

Unfortunately I'm in the same camp as jth, I just don't have the time or Forex experience to offer my services to ForexHard EA beta testing requirments. Thats the only reason I offered my email address to this Johnnyforex. I hoped that I could run his EA on autopilot without missing the daily CZ's due to work commitments prior to the official EA release, so apologies from me for being such a sucker and offering my email address to an unknown entity!

And has already been mentioned, the only reason I think that traders were reluctant to offer their services to Beta test the EA was due to such stringent criteria set by your good (Forexhard) self. I also understand why you have set the bar so high to ensure the EA is fully fit for purpose before being launched to the masses.

Good luck trading as Sunday/Monday could be interesting with the landslide LDP victory in Japan.

Hi forexhard
I appreciate your system and your efforts.I incorporated your ssbo system with my general style of trading and so far it is showing great promise.
Just know that your efforts are not wasted.I finished reading the PDF and so far page 15.I am hoping to read to find the answer of why 30pip box and not 15 or less.I know its based on ADR of pair but it seems 30 is the standard.I read you have tested different sizes and decided on 30.
I don't expect an answer since its probably answered already.I just have to find it....

For what it is worth I have really enjoyed this thread and learned a lot. I am in the process of relocating—packing all this week and moving next week, so won't be doing much more than reading until after the holidays. However, I will be following the game plan I outlined earlier and will be happy to help and contribute any way I can.


As far as being a beta tester, I don't meet the qualifications for experience with this system, but if you don't get a large enough pool I would be happy to help. I do have some experience trading and have limited coding skills, plus I will have the time to do considerable testing.

My view/experience of this thread

When I first found this thread, the first version of the indi had just come out which was developed by squaloo. I was tempted to start using the indi immediately but read the first page over again and realized for me to have any understanding of how exactly this system works, I would have to start drawing the boxes manually. Once i started doing that i started understanding what size boxes, what TP, and SL's to use and I started having success. Once i got a grasp of how the intial BO's worked i started trading for the reset BO's. Next the notion of using a semi martingale came up and a new version of the indi was released. I started using the indi and combined it with martingale, however i was not optimizing the settings and using martingale on top. Needless to say i had one huge month and then the next month it came crashing back. Put simply that drove me crazy, but i knew that this system worked so i began re reading the thread and made more detailed notes. Now I just finished 3 months of forward testing on my setting without changing anything and trading the reset BO's as well, only using 3 pairs and oil and they all only take 3 trades max with the exception of oil which has had only 1 losing trade set which was last week. What i am basically trying to get out of this is people need to stop being lazy and put in the work. The last couple of pages of this thread was just pure bull****. All it was, was people looking for an easy way out and not wanting to put in the work required to have success with this system. Forexhard was generous enough to share this system with us and gave us a detailed description of what to do to have success with this system. Honestly its not that hard just read this thread and make notes and stop asking about when the ea is going to be ready or what settings to use, YOU do the work. All the questions i have had or have posted in this thread were all answered by simply reading the thread again. I want to see this thread get back to what it was like in the beginning with people actually contributing to help making this system better and not just random people asking for handouts because they're lazy. This is an amazing thread and I do not want to see it go to crap or Forexhard leaving, so now i will begin taking on a more active role and start posting more of my trades so that hopefully this thread can get back to what i loved about it in the first place.

Forexhard, im not sure if you got my pm i sent two weeks ago, so ill just post it here,
I have been following this thread for some time now and the above outlines my experience with it, I have just graduated from university and am still in the process of finding a job. I am able whenever need be and would very much like to help you out with whatever you need done on the new ea or indy whether that be as a tester or anything else. This thread has given so much to me and I would very much like the opportunity to return the favour.

Regards,
Nick

Hi ForexHard,

Thanks for sharing this with us. I am new to forex and new to your system. I spent a good amount of hours this weekend getting familiar with your system. I will do some live testing this week and post charts along the way. Hopefully my questions wont be to noobie and can add value to the thread. I obviously don't meet any requirements to test anything. I do have free time so if you need some grunt work done let me know.

Thanks
