Symphonie Trader System EA

MT4 is only running on one core so your 3 of your 4 cores are of no use to the program.

Reduce the number of bars in the charts. This can have quite a big effect.
Menu: Tools->Options->Max Bars in Chart

Reduce the number of bars calculated by the Symphonie_Market_Emotion_Indicator. The EA does not need to use the Latest 3000 bars. It is more concerned with the last few bars. You probably need more than the last few bars to get correct data with this particular indicator however 3000 is overkill.
3000*26=78000 bars calculated each time (possibly on each tick?). Most MT4 indicators only recalculate the last few bars.

Asasa,

A quick question, is it possible to make the EA to close half position when an opposite extreme spike occurs ?

Cheers,
LhDT

Hi Asasa, just wanted to thank you for making this EA, I did some back-testing on it and the numbers are actually pretty good.

While the stop loss and take profit settings could be improved, I think this could potentially be a great aid in making decisions based upon the symphonie system.

Well done!

this really helped a lot, thank you.

Hi,

First time poster here.
Been fowling symphonie thread for some time, and find it to be one of the best trading system currently being discussed on FF, but like most people i can not trade most of time because of my day job , so a good thing would be an EA, and someone bothered doing one, and a very good one.. Thank you very much asasa.
Spent some time testing this Ea on strategy tester in visual mode and the values returned by extreme spike to the EA are correct (that was my biggest concern) so are the values of the other indis , so we have entries according to the system, but exits and reentries are still no fully operational, it would be great if asasa would be willing to implement those exit ans reentry strategies .

In this example the EA entered a sell and closed it due to Break Even, thats OK, but i think it should reenter a sell on the next bar as all conditions are Sell.

Other thing i think should be changed is when we are in a sell and the indicators turn all buy the EA should reverse the position, we could also implement, when using exit on spike, to exit only after a consecutive numbers of bars, not the first time the spike appears, evaluator uses 4 i
think.

Thank you asasa for your hard work.


Best regards to all

Hi all, it's nice to see interest in this work.
Unfortunately these days I am a little bit busy, I hope I will be able to work on this in the near future.
In the meanwhile, I see there are so many suggestions, can anyone summarize the most important ones?

Hey Asasa, again i cant thank you enough, you EA is really cool. i think the best guy to contact, who understands this system (symphonie) very well is LdHT, (lio), he would know the best options and i think would represent us in the best way possible.
kind regards and thank you for the effort and time you put into this and then sharing your knowledge with us.

Hi,

Some features i think important are:

- Close half position on the 4th consecutive bar with an opposite spike ( if we are in a buy exit not in the fist red spike, but until we have 4 consecutive bars with a red (top) spike.

- Close the rest of the position when both spike and trendline change direction.

- Reverse position when signal changes

- Option o use a trailing stop, something like start trailing @ x pips in profit, and trail by x pips.

- In my opinion the attached TMA works better that the default one in MT4.

If you could do that it would be great, we would get the full system in the EA.

I am willing to contribute the way i can, i am not a coder, but if i can help in any way, please let me know.

Best regards

could someone do the original Symphonie Trader System to mq5? That would be a very nice contribution.

Thanx in advance,

Hi all,
Asasa, why have you completely stopped here.? you're onto a good EA here.
Please don't give up, your code is really good. Sure there are others, but this is worth a go.

i have taken the time to set up a myfxbook account for your EA. i have attached a version of your EA here which outlines the settings i am using now, with a few notes commented in.

This version is for only one direction because of the br0ker. The other link (to follow) will allow both directions with multiple position allowed.

i have added the EA to two br0kers, one is a non-hedge bliksem acct IBFX , and the other is a normal acct from markets. They are both demo with 50k and 100k. The settings now are for long, very long, 1000 pip positions, as the short (or small pip target) positions did not work out too well. Look up the history tab and you will see the early results. The ea would take the wrong direction, even though the indis were showing the direction the EA took. i had played with the settings so now they are all back to standard, as is the EA's settings.
will post the other br0ker as soon as ive set it up, here is the non-hedge br0ker.

hi,
okay ,
here is the normal , buy and sell account with avafx. i am also supplying in the zip the EA with a slight change again (to only check for extreme at the end of the 3rd bar, if it's still there, then take position), and the indicators with alerts turned off.
hope this works for you. will give this a month and see how it go's. Will run on 4hr and 1hr, depending on market movement, and will not interfere with bot.

Hi asasa,
please can you check the code in the EA as when it tries to 'icustom' to the extreme indicator v2.
here is the change i have made as it seems the EA was not accessing the info from the indicator. i watched the previous trades on backtest, and it appeared so, so here is what i've changed along with the indicator;


This might also be the reason the EA was taking positions at the wrong places as you noted in your posts before.

hope i'm not smoking my socks and sticking the rules!
