My record since Sunday is 24 wins - 4 losses with the settings SL 50 TP 25 PIPSTEP 40. I am trading EURUSD GBPUSD USDCHF USDJPY EURJPY USDCAD. I notice that the GBPUSD is the most active pair though. I am 7 wins 3 losses on the GBPUSD pair so far this week.

Thx. I have 3 combo's that are pretty much neck and neck so far this week: TP20 SL120 PS40; TP18 SL42 PS40; TP20 SL80 PS40. Four other versions are a bit behind these three, but it's still early.

BenQ your combos all seem to be the same except for the SL. And the SL will be tested only when there is a spike or trend. I think they may be tested tomorrow and Friday. I am anxiously awaiting the big moves to see how Hendrick's new EA perform with my settings.

Yes, I know. Right now I'm just testing different stops. I like the 40 pipstep. It's been too quiet to test my stops so far. I haven't tried Hendrick's new EA yet. I was going to close out these this week and start his next week. Did you get it up and running without any issues and it's executing trades?

What other parameters are you testing besides the set you posted?

Yes I have it up and running and executing trades with no problems. I am testing just the one parameter. I think this one will work well in all conditions..coupled with the new features in Hendricks version H. We will know for sure in the next two days...also NFP next week.

Are you just using the SafeArea feature on default settings or are you also setting times? I'm anxious to try it but want to test my stop level parameters this week.

Do you plan on settings times for FOMC and NFP or are you going to let SafeArea handle those?

BenQ I am running the EA 24 hours per day and will make the SafeArea setting handle everything. I left it at the default 40 for now. I want to see the resilience of the the EA in all market conditions and think this is the best way to go about it. Alphapips mentioned that he is up 10% since July 19th with the original settings even after last week's string of losses. I think this is great.

So tradefrom 1 is set at 0 and tradeuntil 1 is at 24. And all the rest are 0, is that right?

Hey Hendrick,

What if instead of losing position averaging a fixed stop loss would be executed? Averaging a losing position is like drilling a second hole in a sinking boat and gives me the creeps.
Hey Piccolo,

I think your right there. Averaging a losing position is not one of my favourites. In <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" /><st1:City w:st="on"><st1lace w:st="on">Phoenix</st1lace></st1:City> (the revival of Firebird) we will use another technique to handle losing positions.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o></o>

Hi All

I have been reading this thread for a while , but i feel a bit lost , In general wouldn't be a good idea to attach the final copy of the expert after all the modification been made to start testing it ? i can understand that its difficult yet that you guys have reached that final pic. but it would be good for a bieginer like me to catch up with all the up to date effort .

I'm not sure who has the last version and that's why i couldn't address the massage to any body but i'm sure that all of you lads are happy to help and that's what make this forum the best .

The idea of put the subjects in an index would be worth looking at as well to help us find the beginig and the end of each thread

Thanks in advance for your help

We see warnings like this one when Firebird is compiled.

Function "CloseLoosingTrades" is not referenced and will be removed from exp-file

Could someone look at these warnings and advise how to modify code to use these functions. I would like to see what they actually do.

Thanks,

BenQ I think he is actually playing around with the code. I see no such errors using the EA. Anyhow here are my results so far this week -- W -- L.

June 26th - 6 - 1
June 27th - 12 - 1
June 28th - 10 - 2
June 29th - 1 - 2

BenQ,

These functions have been removed from Hendrick's H version. These are in the original Firebird v63g version. I have attached that version and when you compiled it, you will see the warnings.

I am curous if these functions were working, could they help when loosing trades are happening.
