Hello Mr Abokwaik, Could you tell me describe the features that the robot NBB_XBR_01 N_BARS_BO .......? Value .....? Beginning .......? Step ............? End .........? X_BARS_RT ............? I need to understand the details of the setting. I use a robot to XBB_XBR LIVE account and so far I'm satisfied. Robot has good input, but need better set the end of trade. Here are unnecessary loss PIPS yet. On LIVE account also use the robot Ladder_System a good job too. Good results are mainly when the robot is monitored and corrected in the right direction....
Inputs :
- N_Bars_BO : Number of Bars (Candles) to Break Out, used for ENTRY
- X_Bars_RT : Number of Bars (Candles) to Retrace, used for EXIT
- Fixed_Lot_Size :Fixed Lot Size
- Lot_as_EQ_Perc : Lot Size as Equity Percentage (variable lot size and will increase with equity increase)
Long Entry (Buy) : If price breaks higher than the highest price of previous N_Bars_BO.
Short Entry (Sell) : If price breaks lower than the lowest price of previous N_Bars_BO.
Long Exit (Buy Close) : if price breaks lower than the lowest price of previous X_Bars_RT.
Short Exit (Sell Close) : if price breaks higher than the highest price of previous X_Bars_RT.
You can also refer for post # 33 for a chart example
EDIT : for ? Value .....? Beginning .......? Step ............? End , see attached image :

Hello abokwaik, I have a request and I would be glad if you could help me with it when you have time. 34 EMA - High 34 EMA - low Buy: When a candle close above (34 EMA high). Close: When a candle close in between the high and the low EMA. (do not open a new trade here, only wait for a new signal) Or when a candle closes below (34 EMA low): then it closes the buy trade, and open a new sell trade. Sell: When a candle close below (34 EMA low). Close: When a candle closes in between the low and the high EMA. (do not open a new trade here, only wait...

Comments:
- Robot is of type Trend Following, it will do good in trending periods, WHILE, suffer in ranging periods, so it might need an additional filter.

Well that's a surprise 
Thank you for your help on that one Khalil
I've been manually back-testing it on different time-frames and found that the daily time-frame was the best since I'll be trading on several currency pairs so if some of the pairs are ranging and others are trending, I guess money management will solve the problem (or at least I hope so hahaha).
But, one of my friends advised me to add a stop lose that moves with the 34 low EMA in case we are buying, or the 34 high EMA in case we are selling.
I didn't look into it yet, but it seems that its a good idea...I'd be more than glad if I got members opinion on this idea.

if you like robots Abokwaik, there is an interesting strategy based on the invert sucker way of trading. I simulated it one time its a long term strategy. buy or sell microlot at random with a rather tight stop loss and average up your position each time it goes more in your favor for say 30 pips close the position either when the difference is 800 pip in you favor from the first entry or because price took the stop of your first entry. you will have a stair case equity curve why it works ? because its exactly the opposite of the looser that average...

{quote} Had some free time so I made this one on Friday. Interesting
Apparently I've been toying with one idea, to make an ea. This would work in a ranging market, and will work for sure in a trending market too, provided you have enough balance in the account. If we could make an ea, it would be easy to test it. Just think about it.. and see, if this is gonna work.. because you are very intelligent. Ok, here is the strategy.
When the price reach a 100 points / 10 pips (like 1.05800) a buy and sell orders are opened with a tp of 100 points/10 pips
when it reaches 1.05900, the buy order hits tp, with a profit of 100 points - the spread. and at 1.05900 another buy and sell is opened with a tp of 100 points.
price hits 1.06000 , another tp hits with 100 points. And a buy and sell is opened at 1.06000 with tp of 100
Now.. we have 200 points profit and a floating loss of 300 points. @ 1.06000, we have one open buy order and 3 open sell orders.
Now the price comes down to 1.05900, a sell tp from 1.06000 is hit. HERE... ONLY a buy order will be opened, because we already has a previous sell order open at 1.05900
So like this... whenever this stays and plays in a range, we keep getting TPs.. building up our account, for using when it starts trending. Will this work in long term? what do u think? If anyone is able to make an EA.. it would be easier to test it, on a longer time span.. and can also able to see, how much reserve we need to survive on a trending market. The money management would play a big role in this one. And even trending markets.. price do zig zag a bit.. which would keep building the account.
Please let me know your thoughts on it..! I hope you dont prove that Im just too dumb.. lol.
have a great time...! Thanks for your efforts for starting and maintaining the threads.

The accumulating floating loss is what worries me.
Could work well in calm sessions (asian, late us)
let me think about it.
