Dave, GOOD! If you cannot find a winning combination with the options available, you are not going to find one at all. One cannot keep "tweaking" these indicators to get a winning strategy. All you are doing in back testing these "tweaked" parameters is to get a better curve fit for a given time period. The market does not follow any of these indicators, the indicators follow the market. Look for a strategy that gives fairly consistent results for different time periods (same time frame). It does not have to give great profits for any time period,...
"I have been testing many of the strategies, and find the best, so far, to be the EMA cross, RSI, and the Continuous Straddle; but all are going to need a filter (which have not found yet) to be consistently profitable. Should I find that filter, I will certainly post it here. "

So let me be sure I have this straight. You haven't yet found a consistently profitable strategy though your backtesting research using Dave's EA. Yet you know with certainty that the EA contains all the strategies and functions a trader would ever need to do just that. You encourage Dave to keep the EA simple (whatever that means) and you advise others to focus on simple strategies, yet you, yourself, have never been able to make these simple strategies turn a profit.

Personally, I try not to stick my nose in other people's business when I don't have the experience to know what I'm talking about. Suggest you do the same.

The Trading Concept has just closed down having achieved the $150 profit which is the daily profit target during this week. Once again an early result!

{quote} It's taken about 500+ posts to get beyond , "I don't understand this" "I have a new system" "Could you consider this". Maybe this is the way it had to evolve. I will tell you now, when I started this thread, I wanted better minds than my self to contribute. I knew I was going to get the questions without the homework. I am particularly grateful to the people who have challenged me to open up my mind. This is your thread, brick bats or posies, to take the discussion on Money Management (thank you Alex) or other ideas to a new level. I know...
Hi,

I never said 'I don't understand this" nor did I say "Could u consider this" In fact I like the way it is evolving, I like it a LOT (as Jim Carrie would say

1- The 500 TP and the 10 SL can be modified according to each user's preference, so that is great.
2- Combining several strategies to find the Trigger is a major plus, someone like me looks at STOCH, RSI and several MACDs, so that is great.
3- Of course this is a result of a major effort, being a SW guy myself, I can see the effort, so I appreciate it.

I felt u were on the defensive a bit in your comment, misunderstanding me , maybe . U think I don't appreciate the effort, au contraire, I see a huge effort in this and want to thank u for offering it free.

Take care and take it easy
Keep it up Dave, it's great work.
Cheers

Hi Dave I have as you know been testing using whatever the latest EA's are in Post 1,

However today i downloaded the Traders Concept from Post 1 and installed it all on a new MT4 installation could you tell me which EAs to use as i noticed straight away the Close EA is included in the TradersConcept Zip is different to the current one and also the preset files are not the same format as the newest ones

Thanks

Good point. I have not yet updated Traders Concept because the .set files will all have to be redone. If you use the CloseTrades EA at Post #748 and the TradersGift EA at Post #765 in conjunction with the Traders Concept zip, all should be OK.

Ok this is what I have done. There is no more Triple anything! RSI MACD or STOC There are no more additional MACD crosses - just main/signal Bollinger Bands and Volume filters have been added. All indicators have a nominated timeframe which defaults to 0 - the current timeframe. Some inputs have been shifted. Some variables have been renamed for added meaning. Those of you who want to play with triples have Post #768 but I will not be supporting it. Latest build at Post #1
Thanks God you have come to my words that it was only losing time and effort.

I want to inform you that i am currently on the stage to open live account on roboforex to try it with real money . I will keep you posted as soon as they confirm the verification of my documents. Here i will need your permission and help in order to show account results on this thread.

I believe that this EA is totally profitable and you can get some good results with the optimization.
Here i want to say that anything i suggest in the future for addidng is only for experimentations and it is up to thread OWNER to decide to addopt it or not.

Alex

Hello Alex There is no thread owner and you are free to post or suggest whatever you like. In fact I don't even own the EA. It was my gift and you are free to do whatever you like with it. I am not claiming any copyright whatsoever. Periodically I have to maintain perspective of the direction of my programming efforts as has just be borne out with the request for triple everything. Turns out that my time was wasted because of an individual agenda however I will always be receptive to good ideas which have general appeal.

The method does work if you just look properly

that is using 3 stochastic time frames, bands and ema for direction... Bands sell high and buy low, stochastic sell high and buy low...

anyone can load it in experts, and run on aud usd or Nzd usd 15 time frame and understand it... all we saying is put a reverse all trades feature into the last update with all the triples and you will see it will function properly in Trader Gift

Hi Dave
Left the Traders concept running when i went out tonight and when i got home noticed these errors

These were in the Experts tab
2015.03.10 22:00:00.209 TradersGift USDJPY,H1: invalid ticket for OrderModify function
2015.03.10 21:59:59.351 TradersGift USDJPY,H1: invalid ticket for OrderModify function

These were in the Journal tab
2015.03.10 22:00:00.209 '4493527': order buy 0.20 USDJPY opening at 121.216 sl: 0.000 tp: 0.000 failed [Market is closed]
2015.03.10 21:59:59.351 '4493527': instant order buy 0.20 USDJPY at 121.216 sl: 0.000 tp: 0.000
2015.03.10 21:59:59.351 '4493527': order buy 0.10 USDJPY opening at 121.172 sl: 0.000 tp: 0.000 failed [Market is closed]

I dont think its an issue as the time is when the server does the swaps for the day but its strange that at that exact time the ea wanted to place an order and its the JPY again

I looked at my journal and I also did a backtest on USDJPY to see if I could recreate any errors but did not find any.
The Order Modify error is because there is no valid ticket because it appears that, either your server shuts off or you have been disconnected from the internet at that point. My own log is enclosed.

Hi Dave
Sorry to be a pain, I downloaded the traders concept and installed all but some of the settings seemed peculiar so i checked the inputs in the EA and at the same time opened your preset files to check they matched but the don't could you tell me which settings are correct the ones in the actual EA or the preset files.
I am unsure as even some of the set files don't seem right for example the JPY EMAcross with SLDecrease has the DecrStopLossPercent set to 0.0000000

Thanks for your patience

When you load the EA onto a chart, you will need to re-load the applicable preset file, sounds like the problem may be in the profile or template which I will investigate.

Hi Dave

I'll reload all the presets then just wasn't sure which were correct.

could you also confirm this is correct i noticed that some of the EMACross with SLDecrease presets dont actually have a SLDecrease for example the preset file below has the SLDecrease set to zero

I have now redone the Profile and Templates so please download the Trading Concept again at Post #1

Confirmed - The JPY mentioned above has DecrStopLossPercent = 0.

Dave ,

I got the verification from roboforex. see attached.

What would be your suggestion on an ECN account to deposit my thought was to put 300 $ to take from the optimization results the 3 most good sets based on drawdown , profit , expected payoff , and run EA on three different charts for the same pair with the 3 different sets.

Before i move to large amount i want to test it on small scale for couple months.

Any ideas will be appreciated.

Alex
