hi all,

is this thread dead?
i believe in this system, am i alone to test it?
i put it live on micro account last week and i gained some pips on eurusd M15.
yes, there is some DD to suffer during sideways phases, but the EA ca n really make some money i think.

please, share your results anybody!
Koby75,
on the EU test you did, did you run it 24 hours a day? What take profit settings did you use? the out of the box settings?
I turned on the EU on M5 Friday morning and this morning during US hours and it did well. Just wondering if it is best to let it run 24 hours a day or try to pick times when it has the potential to move. But i guess if we knew when it would move, it would be too easy. Here is a pic, it was just some micro orders.

Cool. Let me know how you get on. I turned it on again this morning US time and added a few more pairs (aud/usd, eur/jpy and eur/chf). Here are the results from Fri, Mon and Tues morning combined. Not too bad. 1,000 pips, but only at 7 cents a pip, as a little afraid to rachet it up yet . eur/jpy had a nice roll today. the only pair today that was negative was eur/chf.

hello,

last week was very bad for SR on my tests.
It lost hundreds of pips on all crosses. Both live and demo accounts suffered a lot.
in the end i fear that DD is too high. it may have very good runs but it also can lose too much in sideways periods.
overall GBPUSD -1600pips
EURUSD +1750pips (but DD about 900pips)
AUDUSD -100pips.

what about you?

Yea, last week was good up until Thursday and then i gave back almost all what i made the first four days. Didnt run it Friday or Monday as i figured the market would be ranging due to the US Holiday. Turned it on last night US time and made a little back with EUR/JPY. But it is definitely hit or miss. Too hard to predict which pair and what time of day. One thing that may be useful is for the EA to have a setting to "go long" or "go short" setting immediately when you turn it on. That way you could have a trigger that you would normally use and then have the EA manage the trade and add on if it heads in the correct direction.

I know the EA has a "do opposite" feature, but it could take a little bit for it to kick off and determine the trend to then have to switch that feature on.

Anyways here is my chart for the days i had it running.

hello redwing,

just to tell you that i removed it from live trading and also from demo.
Risk/reward ratio is not worthwhile.

thank you for sharing your experience.

good luck with your trading.

Hi FXEZ,

I know this is an old thread, but I see that you're still updating Basket_Stats_Time, so I thought I'd give this a try.

I've been playing with SnowRoller_1_008 lately, and it is holding it's own quite well.

I'd like to make a couple of requests, though.

Could you make an indicator that gives us stats for each hour of each day, like this...

Day
Hour -->
Symbol
|
V

Day
Hour -->
Symbol
|
V

etc...

Also, could you add the ability to have multiple start-stop times for each day into the EA? Something like this...

Sunday: 0 // Disables trading for this day.

Monday: 01:00 - 03:59, 05:45 - 06:59, 23:00 - 23:59

Tuesday: 00:00 - 02:59, etc.

...

Saturday: 0

This way we can squeeze the most pips out of the day.

Thanks for the great little pip muncher

Have fun!

Hi FXEZ,

I started running fresh instances of the EA and the indicator... Am I right in assuming that zero hour is based on market open, (New Zealand open)?

If so, then if you decide to follow up on my previous requests, I guess it would be easier to use if they were to follow the same logic, i.e. Day 0, Hour 0, through to Day 4, Hour 23:59.

Take care,

&

Have fun!

Dear FXEZ,

I'm facing the following issue in version 1.008 when running a backtest in EUR/USD: OrderModify error 4108.

I've attached a screenshot of the error message, which is displayed in the journal tab.

Thanks for your attention.

{quote} I continue testing 1.005 with results attached on 4 symbols on 1 Minute time frame charts: EURUSD EURCHF EURGBP AUDUSD I had to abandon EURJPY and USDJPY due to the drawdown (shown in the pic). As for 1.008, I've been gathering data on this version on M15 charts, and will start next week testing probably with the following cut down list: CHFJPY EURCHF GBPUSD USDCHF The following are on the bubble with 1.008 and so I'm not sure if I'll also include them or not: EURUSD EURGBP USDCAD {image} {image}
FXEZ,

Have you explored pairing Snow Roller with another system that profits from a ranging market? Perhaps if all of the settings were synchronized, the twin system could be antifragile. Maybe the Icarus EA (which is a solid averaging grid EA) could be a potential candidate.

BTW, is that a speed reading display on your blog?
