Hello,

have somebody made a EA for this system so we can make a backtest ??





Trolls, trolls, and more trolls!

So I'm fooling around with the indicator, and I gotta say; it looks VERY promising. I'll be spending the next month getting a grip on all the hidden nuggets. One thing I've already noticed is that it looks a lot smarter and the results seem much more "stable". Thanks again FXH and Xux, I really appreciate all the efforts you put in this project, all this just for us. We are truly blessed.

This might be a dumb question, I'll put on an 80% probability that it is. If I delete my current SSBO indicator and load up the new one, will the templates that I have load into it? or do I have to write down all my settings per pair and then reconstruct them in the new indicator?

Cheers folks

Please refer to post #1 on the thread by ForexHard. This is a system with no short cuts to glory and basic questions regarding method will only get you banned. It's a few days of reading alongside a few weeks of learning, application, tweaking and trading. There is an ea in development. However, without the groundwork it is highly unlikely that you will be profitable as you will not know what the ea is looking to achieve.

There is no short cut to this system, it cannot be understood by asking a couple of questions.
Why i think it is important to make a EA for a system is because with EA we can backtest it more years to see if it is reliable over a longer time. And when we have a good backtest results than we can continue with forward test.

From my understanding, it works; but the variables have changed that your current settings might need some tweaking.

We don't have time to waste on people who can't invest a little time to read the system, understand it, and to show us that they did the work. Bring your ignorance to the first post, and enlighten yourself up to post 5000 +, you'll quickly notice your not the first genius to request an EA that won't give you jack on back testing.

... it looks a lot smarter and the results seem much more "stable".
Here's an example of my forward tested settings, added the EMA (which I have yet to find how it adds to the entry; although I did notice that the Minbarclosed is actually hardcoded as a minimum, but not a maximum)

My stress level with this pair just went from none, to below none.

Needless to say that I will not be trading using the indicator for a while, as with any new software, due diligence comes back to us users, and I will be doing a side by side forward testing for a minimum of a month; I strongly suggest everyone does the same.

The only new feature is the EMA filter. Default value is "5". If set to "True" this filter will act in combination with the other entry filters.

I strongly suggest that you first delete any older versions of it from your system and then do a re-start before downloading.

EDIT: Xux says to ignore the last file from the previous page and use this one instead. Again, make a complete delete & re-start before downloading (recommended when exchanging files with the same name).
Hi FH,

I followed your delete/install instructions, but following the new download, I am unable to find the EMA filter in the updated SSBO indicator. Please, where is it located within the indicator parameters?

Your efforts are a Godsend!

Many thanks!

You might have to delete the indicator withing MT4... then the new one should update. Just a confirmation that you indeed have the right indicator; it should look something like this

First forward-tested trade.

I did not take the trade, wasn't even aware a signal was about to happen, :nerd:

Why all this testing the market changes all the time. If you want to make money get off demo account and go live if you dont then spend all your days back testing lol good luck

Let me know if I'm having verbal diarrhea, so many things I'm noticing and such.

Unfortunately, it seems that I can't be testing both systems side-by-side. As soon as you close your trader and re-open it, the old indie goes out the window and is replaced by the new one.

I'm not too shabby about this, I might try to find a way to have both at the same time for the reasons I've mentioned a few posts back.

Hi Jay,

Thank you for your post. I had previously deleted the old SSBO indicator from both my Downloads folder and my Oanda indicators file. I downloaded the new SSBO indicator, and it looks/performs identical to the old one (meaning it does not look like the picture you provided, so something is amiss).

Should I uninstall the Oanda MT4 folder (don't want to lose all the other Oanda indicator downloads), and/or delete all my old setups before expecting the new version to appear? I did try to make some new setups, but they are identical to the old indicator setups.

Try just renaming one of the indis.

Bobcat2:-

Shut down MT4, delete the old compiled (.ex4) file, add the new indi and restart.

I missed that one, my zone is a bit more compressed than that so it didn't indicate. It works for me. 2.2 a week.

Still pulled 70 pips from e/u and 30 from u/y from boxes from this morning. Happy days.

Yes, I have deleted all of the SSBO files on all of my MT4 platforms, system download file, and individual indicator files. Any other recommendations?

Thanks!
