Thank you for the guidelines for using this bot. I have adjusted to your recommendations.
I have done some optimization and found some very good settings. Today is the first day of me running the bot doing forward testing and have not received any trades as of yet. I thought I would have gotten at least one trade per pair by now as in the back testing there was at least one trade a day minimum but I will keep it running. I am not sure if it is a license thing or not.
I have been trying all week long to get the bot to place trades but so far have been unsuccessful. I am not sure what I have wrong that trades wont open. Backtesting shows trades with current settings during the week since I started the bot, but in the actual forward testing, I have gotten none of them.
Hello all. Just a quick update. I have been trying all week long to get the bot to place trades but so far have been unsuccessful. I am not sure what I have wrong that trades wont open. Backtesting shows trades with current settings during the week since I started the bot, but in the actual forward testing, I have gotten none of them. Has anyone been able to get this to work?

Trying all week long? more like 2 days! Try for two weeks, then come back.
You are doing something different in the backtesting (tick data vs minute data), therefore you are not picking up trades reflected there. Or your internet is bad (highly unlikely)
If you get results in backtest, then you will get trades. cAlgo does not lie. If you have concerns you ought to take it up with cAlgo because the BACKTEST PROVES IT WILL TAKE TRADES!
In any case, I'm glad your difficulty is in getting trades rather than losing money.
I can make no guarantees over how much you will make (or lose) with the oscillator. Therefore I cannot refund your money if you make no money. However, as a sign of goodwill I'll refund the money you pay me for the oscillator if it's not for you (for whatever reason) after the first two weeks.
Any further questions as to why trades are taken in backtest, while they are not taken in actual trading should be taken up with cAlgo
{quote} Beware that there are a few rules to observe: Optimize 1 or 2 months every Sunday for the week following. Never re-use parameters Look at the day chart once or twice a day for signs of a blow Take a loss, but never stop the robot unless a blow has clearly occurred These rules, followed by the common sense information on cutous.net will put you on the right track.

FAQ
REALISTIC? In the backtest, the values are perfect. Because you extrapolate forwards in actual trading, you may expect to receive slightly less than the backtest. The solution decays rapidly when you optimize less than 2 months.
ACTUAL TRADING GUIDANCE? Aim to make profit on a set of parameters and then pull out. When you run the oscillator you'll make a string of profits (possibly one loss). When you make your six or seven in a row, pull out and do a different set of parameters with another pair.
OVER-OPTIMIZED? The values decay, not so much because the market changes, but mainly because the solution is over optimized (using parameters too restrictive, mainly too short a time period)
BEST OPTIMIZATION? Take note of the number of trades opened in optimization. It is better to choose a higher number of trades opened, because when the trades are triggered more often and successful, it will give you better results.
MORE PARAMETERS? It is designed for simplicity to put your focus on trend selection and regular optimization, so there are no other variables to change.
hello, I have viewed with attention your video explanations on your site. Luckly I am telecommunication engineer so I understand quite well mathematic concept of combination of wave. Please tell me if I am wrong, but your EA seem starting from a concept very near to the Series/Transformations of Fourier. The parameters that you define are something similar to the series Coefficient that put all together create the trade chart wave. Is it correct?

Sorry for delay in responding. I have already said too much in my video. Like you I'm an Engineer. Sadly us engineers have too little business sense, and the result is, those without degrees pay our wages. I say this because I could give you all the theory on a plate and then you could go away and take my idea and I'd not get a penny (and neither would you, probably, because you're already spilling the beans). I'm now a little wiser, a commercial guy.
