My EA Gift to Traders

[quote=Dave_C;8164681]{quote} I am testing different strategies as per the comments on the above chart. The EA is still the same but I started a test on the 9th March and let all strategies run continuously from the beginning. My own observations to date are summed up very briefly. No opening trades on Mondays. No opening trades outside of Euro and US Sessions...quote]

That looks amazing Dave. Thanks for such amount of work. I am sure its for the love of coding you're doing this, truly outstanding. Looking forward to test it.

Holy crap, that looks amazing! So is the "data source" an output from tick data in a CSV format, and you use that data? I can imagine you can export history from MT4 in CSV format and use that too.

The Data Source is 1 minute data but could be any timeframe in CSV format. If a higher time frame is required the program will automatically convert the data.

Tick data is not required since the program takes the most "pessimistic" route. That is it looks at the Stop Loss before looking at any Take Profit and opening trades are only taken on bar close.

Hi Dave, thanks for this EA, looks amazing, I'll do some testing. The Strategy O looks impressive. Thanks for all your work.

By about midday tomorrow (UST), I will have a beta version of Strategy Optimizer available . I would ask you to use the 1 minute data (2015) from Post #1 so that we are all on the same page. Even though it is not quite the end of month, I will update the data to give you a chance on Sunday PM to evaluate. Whilst the program will not be complete, it will give you a chance to critically evaluate the work to date.

It's not even done yet and I'm already starting with suggestions for new features, lol. Can't help myself. I really like the days of the week filter. Would it also be possible to incorporate another for hours of the day?

Dave,

This is a spectacular piece of software. I'm in awe of your coding skills and how quickly you work. Everything that you've indicated in the help file is enabled seems to be working.

Well done!

Great job Dave.
I have one suggestion ... the possibility to place pending order instead of market order.
For example, when using PSAR, you want the price action to confirm the new trend. I believe it is the same with any indicator.
That way you can avoid fake or quick movement.

I observe PSAR for a while and if you can avoid fake change you will be more profitable. Often it is just a candle peak that make the reversal. If you can place a pending stop order certain amount of pips from the reversal point your winning percentage increase a lot.

Also another interesting indicator will be the CCI ....

An interesting suggestion and I will have to think about that. From what you are saying there would an option not to place an order immediately but rather a pending limit order a number of pips back after the reversal is confirmed. Can you describe exactly what you are looking for as I'm not sure whether you are looking at avoiding the fake reversals or capitalizing on the fake reversals?

My priorities at the moment in order -

Display selected indicators on the trading chart.
Add more strategies
Ability to read and write set files
Scaled closure points.
Implement multiple sets on each strategy. EG triple RSI, MACD etc.
New Strategies such as CCI mentioned above.

I'm aware that many of the indicators such as Bollinger Bands have different interpretations so I am keen to hear about interpretation on the various indicators.

This is an amazing tool Dave. I appreciate the work that must be involved. So many different combinations that are available to test, thankyou.
Rockknmike mentioned CCI which is useful. I find it useful to know if a trade is above or below an MA like the 240 and make my decision depending where the price is. A find this to be a good filter.

Just a sneek peek with the RSI added to the trade chart in Strategy Optimizer. Still working as per the priority 2 posts above.
