{quote} Thank you admir for sharing. I will need some time to look into all components of the system. meanwhile can you enlighten us how you trade it manually and how does it perform in trending periods, highlighting the main indicator(s) used for entry/exit ... etc. Regards, Khalil
Hello all.

I have been looking at the this thread for a while. I tested the sysyem posted by Admir and it has value. I would also like to hear more about the rules.
I was expecting a load of heavily repainting $#^@, but manual tests are actually very encouraging, at least on the trade sim i use. Thanks for sharing.

Best,
Josh

After playing with it a little, a lot of the system is actually good except the "2 super signal" indi that is repainting heavily. But if you replace it with something else for trigger, its ok.

Hi Abokwaik, Glad to see that the Bigcandle ea will be also discussed here. Regarding that, can you make it work in pips instead ATR based? For example: 1.) Take the trade when the big candle moves certain distance in pips: stop loss at opposite of candle; 1st take profit is 2x stop loss (optional); 2nd take profit 5x stop loss (optional); when 1st take profit is hit move second trade to break even (optional) 2.) Take the trade at the close of the candle when the big candle moves certain distance in pips: stop loss at the middle of the candle; 1st...
Hi Khalil,

Any movement on Big candle robot?

Hopefully soon. I've spent a good time on basket development.
BigCandle was downloaded over a 1000 time, however I didn't receive much input.
So, either the system is not of interest, or it is working just fine as is, or maybe they got it modified as source code was provided.

I was thinking of an idea that might have positive effect on some robots performance, or might not.

Suppose a robot gave a buy signal (based on some trading system), with a calculated SL and TP.
Since we have put a SL , there is a probability that price might get near or even hit our SL.
Now What If, we make the robot initiate the order somewhere between the initial buy signal price and SL price, say after 20%, 50% or 80% retrace of the distance between the initial price and SL price, while either leaving the SL and TP in their original place or lowering them with the same offset.

Do you think this will decrease/increase draw downs and profit ?

Hi Khalil,

Maybe you could give an option to your bots, so that when it signals a trade it takes one half, the other half on 50% retrace with the same SL and TP ..

Question: Could you make a trade manager?

regards,
Dragan

Hello Abokwaik! I am testing out various triggers for putting final touches to a methodology I have been working on. This indicator seems to be the best trigger for me so far.
So I was wondering if you could help me automate the color changes into an EntryEA with option to take trades in one or both directionss. SL at high/low of any candle close in opposite direction to indicator color change(that is candle close breaks the high/low of trigger candle in opposite direction). TP set at 1:1 RR(+spread) or more. Missed the perfect entry on this trade because I was not at the PC at the time.

Hey LITEchild. I am a fan of the Gann as well. I trade it too, but here is what i do. I use a couple of EMAs (50,35) for direction bias, and set targets according to fib pivots.
I usually start 3 trades, first one targeting next pivot, second next etc. SL - recent high/low(depeding on trend). Once first target is hit, i set the SL for the other trades to their entry point. It would make an interesting EA. I am just suggesting an approach. Thoughts?

Best, Josh

Hiya Josh! Gann work is indeed exceptional. i have best enjoyed using his histogram as entry triggers. Your methodology sounds solid enough! EMAs for trend, Fibs for targets, and letting the winners ride the trend as much as possible sounds doable. KIS! I for one though, lean more towards a quantitative approach to making pips. Looking at market movement wholistically to determine the most aggressive money flow. Quantitatively gauging currency MOMENTUM and VOLATILITY has become the cornerstone of my market analysis in addition to viewing currency performance as a BASKET as opposed to single pair analysis.

In a nutshell, my mindset and trading philosophy and robust system is being built around discerning answers to pertinent questions like
- What Currency(S) should i be paying attention to? Which currency(s) are strongest? Which are weakest? Why? Over what period of time? Minutes? Hours? Days? Weeks?
- What tools can help best in answering the above questions?
- Assuming the answers are proven satisfactory, what then represents the the highest probability pair(s)/Baskets to be focusing on at any given point in time?
- How do you discern when this window of 'arbitrage' is no longer valid? What tools can help best in answering that question?
- Assuming satisfactory answers to all the above, what is the best mode of entries? Exits? risk tolerance? etc?

So you see, the issue of using the Gann Histo EA is just trying to address part of the last piece of that puzzle. The tip of the iceberg so to speak.
The good news for me is I think I am pretty damn close to putting humpty dumpty back together again! lol.

Yes, I like to keep it KIS. The ideas is 1 hour, "fast" trading with reasonable accuracy. That is a very interesting approach you are planning, but the nature of it would entail higher TFs. There are many good questions there, worth asking, but I am not sure how you will get the answers. I am not sure you can get them from a purely technical perspective. As a student of the market, the best idea that comes of the top of my head is tracking currency strength through a indi on a higher timeframe - picking your pair from there, looking for extremes. Then moving to COT analysis, looking at what stage the big boys are setting. Then moving to technical?
Best, Josh

GannHiLo-Histo indicator is based on Moving Averages (High and Low), It will initiate a Long Signal when price closes above the SMA(High), and Short Signal when price closes below SMA(Low). That's it.

I already did a similar robot based on Ashour request (post # 701).

Here is the link to the Robot (post # 774) -- This was my comment at the end of that post:

Comments:

 

  1. 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.


And this was Ashour's comment after testing the robot for a period :

After a good look at the expert that I requested, I do not recommend anyone to use it, it absolutely needs a filter as Khalil mentioned.
It does great in trending markets, but when it ranges its pretty bad and the win does not cover the loss.


All the best,

Khalil

Thanks for the feedback Khalil. Interesting that its already been done! As I stated earlier, the pip hunting weapon I am assembling already has a stock, barrel, holster, bullets, scopes, etc. The Gann bot is to test the triggering system. Will give it a whirl and see how it purrs. Great work as usual buddy!
