I was just reading threads I haven't seen and came across yours. I am not really interested in your system, but I noticed you might be able to use my help? I saw one pic that showed you on a 30M chart. Is that correct? And I read one post where you fell asleep. Is that correct? I do not see indicators really, so it seems you are not using any alerts. Is that correct? I am attaching an indicator that is screwed up in my opinion, lol, but won't affect your system. It "should" alert you when it changes from the top to the bottom, however, if I remember...
hi dkrock,
thanks for posting the indicator. actually, I made mistake once by trading the M30 TF because one of my rules is "I only trade H1 TF". And I've coded my own indicators too, they look like this :

I always remove my indicators from the chart once I opened positions.
The one on top right is my first formula while the arrow is my second formula.

Anyway thanks. You're a nice guy. I might find your indicator useful oneday. ​

Not a problem. I remember when I traded high time frames and it was really easy to overlook trading opportunities. At one point I used an alarm clock, but then I discovered alerts. They allow me to pay a lot less attention when trading I cannot stare at a monitor for hours watching candlesticks. Not only is it boring, but it can also bring on emotions. So, I just let my system tell me when to look at something via a popup and a sound. Makes a big difference

Just one thing to be careful here about is that the formula could be derived from the statistic from the same period over which the EA was then backtested (in other words this would be in-sample testing, whereas it is always better to deduce a formula over a certain period and test it on another period - out of sample testing).

Cheers,
k

Thanks, I'm doing it now.

Unfortunately, all my formulas only work in FBS (I mean the candles which I count) and can only be backtested from June 18th as that's the first time FBS use 5 digits.
My first formula was made in 2013 and always failed once or twice a month. Then it's getting more accurate since FBS use 5 digits. That's why my formulas can only be backtested from June 18th. Yeah, I know that's weird.

This is my EA_third_formula_v1.2, I've filtered a few losses trades and minimized the drawdown, still never hit the time-based SL. Turns 1k to 40k in 25 trades setup, that's nice!

I've created an account (a REAL one, NOT demo) to test my third formula using the EA I made.

I did a backtest in alpari (5 digits only) and octafx, made a few adjustments, finally it works there too. I tested too in Agea, it doesn't work at all.

Good work mate, but by keep ajusting or optimising anyone will be able to have a great curve!! Because you ajusted to adapt too that time period!!
You wil need a bigger simple size for you to check consistency over a longer period of time

H1 TF :
since there's a gap between close price of previous week and open price of current candle, there will be no position for my first formula. So, you don't have to wait until 23.00 GMT for my first formula.

but if you want to make easy money, open SELL and set TP at previous close candle. usually the price will hit close price of previous week.

Sorry, my second formula (SELL, TP at 1.24583) already hit the TP, I missed the chance! So, no position for today.
