{quote} Hi MM, I am happy to make bug fixes to Vlad's EA as well. I will contact him to see about setting up source control to make contributions and versioning easier. In the meantime, can you send me a private message with an explanation of the bug, and perhaps as an exchange you could also share with me the exact details of how you use the TP/SL with this method? Cheers!
Hi Shaolin,

I'm experiencing a similar problem to Mastermind's, except even though I AM using hard $ SL and TP, I do get trades normally.

However, in some isolated, random charts over my whole range of tests, this happens:

So, after some time trading regularly, I get a closure, and then NOTHING happens (even with new signals coming).

This is the setfile for this particular screenshot

My theory is that this MAY have something to do with the particular settings I'm using for this tests i'm running (a QDE lower than QDC in combination with Hard TP$/SL$)... So I may get a closure due to TP and maybe the EA is not "reading" the closure and therefore not opening further trades??? This is one theory, as I do have several charts that keep opening/closing trades correctly according to what I'm looking for.... This "paralysis" happens only in some isolated charts, and I can't find nothing in common between them

{quote} First day of test, your EA. The extreme move ( eurgbp) gave a shock to the EA. Went into some 16 % floating loss on a 3k account. Finally closed in nice profit. I closed it manually.

I guess it would have been better if you stayed out of EURGBP in the morning because of the red news at 10.30 CET

Un scheduled news can come any time.

Testing the EA in all conditions would be good, then in real, one can avoid EA trading during violent news events.

Your EA too survived today in EURGBP buy trades. Had a floating loss of 10 % but closed successfully with some profit, Overall, it has done good too. today.

The returns are roughly 3 % on a capital of 3k.

Yeah, 16% drawdown would not be acceptable for me. I ran some tests on EG but nothing satisfactory yet. I will post a new version this week with optional TP/SL as well. I am thinking that I will begin releasing very distinct versions of my EA, with features only specific to a particular quantum method, rather than trying to fit all of the feature into a single EA. This approach will keep the code size small and easy to test/optimize for each style. If any traders in this discussion want a particular feature, similar to Vlad's EA etc, I will need a clear explanation sent to me and as many details on the method as possible. Also I would like to stick to methods that people have proven to work, rather than just coding any random idea, so the more data you can provide to validate your approach (charts, demo, etc) the better. Thanks!

Hi all
I have tested AUDUSD from 1st Jan 2015 until 11 sep 2015 with many settings. Until now, best results are with this settings:
-deposit 10.000 USD
-wait X boxes...=1
-only open higher...=true
-time frame 5 min
-qde=qdc=190
-trades 1-12=0.01
-trades 13-21=0.02
Results: profit=1983 USD, DD=8.8% As you can see the DD is low but the profit is low also (for 9 months). There are certain periods of time where I couldn't find a good pair of settings. So in this periods you lose money(second week of april 2015 till end of may 2015 for example).
Another strategy would be to
-trade only monday = true
-time frame= 5
-qde=qdc=190,
-trades 1-12=0.01
-trades 13-21=0.02
Results: profit=787 USD DD=3.72%

So I am still testing. Do you have any other ideas?
Cheers

Shaolin, along this lines, it'd be great if you could include in the options the possibility to choose between the regular indicator or the Quantum-Stochastic-OBOS that's been floating around (and that I'm trying with great success as opposed to the other one) =)

For this, I would make a separate version rather than include it as an option. If you can send me a PM with details about how the method should work with the Quantum Stochastic I can potentially develop something when I have time, thanks.

Hi ShaolinQuant,

When you refer to how I use SL and TP with this method exactly what are you referring too?

I do not use the SL and TP inputs in the EA at all at this stage!

Trading the Q Method I use the %Equity_SL but depending on the chart and the pair I'm trading I will apply hard SL via MT4 terminal so it is recorded with my broker.

I look at key levels of support + resistance including pip ranges relative to expected DD based on my account size, lot size distribution and expected number of entries.

Hope that helps but let me know if you need further information,

Hi wuxuegiang,

Which version of the EA are you using?

Are you using v 1.6.1?

Please provide a screenshot if possible so we can offer you assistance.

Ok perhaps I was confused. I believe you were mentioning a bug with SL functionality from 1.6.1, also another member asked me to add TP/SL to the shaolin version, which currently only uses the %Equity stop loss. I was thinking I could implement a hard TP/SL to be set on each trade, but I wasn't clear on how that was being used in combination with Q. For now I am happy with my version as it seems to do well during the Asian session alone. Right now I am looking for ideas, features I can add, different sessions/timeframes/pairs to trade etc. Thanks for your feedback

The bug in Vlads EA v1.6.1 occurs when you apply both settings as follows:

$TP + $SL then the EA WILL NOT open any trades!

The solution will be found as part of the loop in the coding of the EA so whoever has the time to take a look that would be great otherwise I'll be going through it over the weekend when I have some free time.

It might pay to check that the other MM parameters are working correctly too if you get the time.

I found that if I set the only open higher high or lower low price setting to true then I only get sell trades (V1.6.1) If I set toi to false then it works as it should
