TheNechita,

Please refer to your chart that you just posted. Notice the tab on the EA settings next to "Inputs"... It says "Common"

Click on "Common" and then take a screen shot of your chart.

Make sure your "Common" tab boxes are checked exactly like my attachment.

Next, go to your "Tools" tab on your MT4 platform towards the top left corner.

Click on "Tools" and scroll down to the bottom where it says "Options" - click on Options.

You will see quite a few tabs, look for the "Expert Advisors" tab and make sure your boxes are checked like my attachment.

**If it still doesn't work then I don't know what to say.

If this solves the problem then what could have happened is that you switched to a different account on your MT4 platform which will "disable" the Expert Advisors when account or profile has been changed. You can uncheck the two boxes if you plan on logging into different accounts on your MT4 platform.

Let me know if this fixes your problem.

The commons tab is identical to your attached image. The "Expert Advisors" tab is also identical to yours... I appreciate the feedback, but i dont know why this is not working either. I recall you helped me with this through your email not too long ago... everything was working fine... maybe my currency pairs are not a good choice?

The pairs shouldn't be the problem.

Try and load the EA to a different MR4 platform to see if is still working.

I really don't know what the problem could be. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Hi,

Interesting thread, thanks for posting 100pips.

I ran some optimization tests on my tick data (99% data quality) from January 1, 2008 till June 30, 2013 and everybody can find the results in the attachements.

Interesting to see is that some pairs are really profitable while others are not. What is also interesting to see is that there is a huge difference in profitability if the SL or TP are changed a small bit.

The excel sheet is a summary of the best settings.

Regards,

MeAgain

Hi, Interesting thread, thanks for posting 100pips. I ran some optimization tests on my tick data from January 1, 2008 till June 31, 2013 and everybody can find the results in the attachements.
INTERESTING! I noticed that each pair was tested with 8 max positions, time delay=2, and with trailing at 100pips with fixe lot=0.1 (I guess fix lot coz u wanted accuracy in terms of pips results). Following that setting u optimzed the sl/tp?

I was abt to give up coz pips himself said he dont trade it, he trade manily 3ss but also he had other accts trading that new grid style strategy which is now under funds mgt (PAMM)

Pls share with us whether there was any other settings u set/optimized

The optimization was done for SL and TP only.

I am thinking about doing another run for all these pairs, but then only for the last 6 months or so, just to see if the SL/TP values are different. I bet they will, cause the markets change constantly.

Does anybody have better ideas ?

Probably not better, but an idea none the less.

I have filtered the results by pairs: profitable, more likely to be trade, are recommended or are available on most brokers.

I averaged the result and found the TP & SL are nearly 1 to 1

How about running tests on these pairs with the average SL / TP or variations close to them on either side?

Thanks, E.

Hi 100pips,
I love this thread very much but I have some doubt. I have downloaded the "MA ribbon filled 2 x 14.mq4".
And this thread is mentioned about 20 ema and 50 ema, but the ema period used in this "MA ribbon filled 2 x 14.mq4" are 12 and 34.
Do I need to change to 20 and 50 ema? Or just use 12 ema and 34 ema?
And what is the target of Over bought (-20 or 0) and Over sold(-80 or -100)?
Sorry I am forex newbies.


Thank you.

Hello all! I realized that the lot size differs significantly if you put 0.01 and 0.1 ... thats why my trades were not being placed.

Also, 100PipsADay, how is the third screen stat working for you?

[highlight=rgba(255, 255, 255, 0)]Nechita:[/highlight]
[highlight=rgba(255, 255, 255, 0)]in the 1D chart you should only look at the price. Today it is over the 2 EMA so go only long.[/highlight]
[highlight=rgba(255, 255, 255, 0)]in the 1H chart you should only watch the Williams 14. When it touched (I do prefer when it exited from) the oversold zone you buy.[/highlight]
[highlight=rgba(255, 255, 255, 0)]The other Emas or oscillators in your charts should be ignored.[/highlight]
[highlight=rgba(255, 255, 255, 0)]This way it works for me, although if I trade only EURUSD being too lazy to follow other pairs.[/highlight]

Erebus,
I have a question, and I will make an example with the EUR USD.

The SL is 400 and the TP is 150.

Imagine that I open one or more short positions, following the rule of the 6 hours delay, and then the two EMA on the D1 chart move to long, before the SL or the TP are reached.

What should I do?

a) Close the short position with a loss (although if the SL of 400 has not been reached) and start to trade long.
or
b) Stay short waiting for the first of the two alternatives:
1) SL at 400;
2) the two EMA move again to short

Till to day I closed my positions when the William went overbought (for the short) and oversold (for the long).
This generated a large number of small winning (or losing) trades but since I trade the CME future this costs a lot in commisssions.
So I arrived to the conclusion that it would be better to follow the SL 400 and the TP 150, so aroused my question.
Thanks
