Quantum London Trading Custom EA

Nope, it was not News Time. I also tested on 31 Aug 2015, the same issue. Later, I will attach some screenshots.

Good Work but hope you will fulfill my requirement with experience. I wanted to place pending orders instead of opening the orders. For Buy trades ; it place buy stop order X pips away from signal price. For Sell trades; it place sell stop order X pips away from signal price.

I experience price buy/close wrongly ( no box there) too in the past, until someone here corrected me.
It happens because the Quantum Indicator u attached to the chart is different from the Quantum value in your EA.
I give you an example. The default value of Quantum indicator when u attach to the chart is 300.
But, the default value of Q value in EA is 240 and 240. So there is a difference.
When u press ctrl+i to open up your indicator list, edit the Quantum indicator's value to 240 (just to match the value in EA) so that you can see clearly that the price didn't close wrongly actually, it's just that you cant see the box in chart because your quantum indicator's value is not adjusted correctly.
Since the EA's Q value is used, that means your Q indicator in chart need to follow EA value to correct the "wrong place order" issue.
Hope I helped.

Hi all

Actually three is some bugs of version 1.6.1 originally and and also typo error like one c2 should be c3
I am rectifying it today, so bear with me

I will post two versions

1. one with only one window time
2. two with 2 windows time
2.1 lets say you set it 19:00 -> 07:00 in (1) = it will not work
2.2 so you need 19:00 to 23.59 and 00:00 to 07:00

another thing when you set fulltime to false and if you set max trades (doesn't matter) and most important if you set max cycles for slot1 or slot 2 or slot 3 or altogether ---> but once you have your trades here --> the gocyle to false and no more trades are taken

hei chinfei, when these two are free with bug
you can trade 700 account because we will trade near of us time, and skip 1 and half hour at Asian and and stop time, you can try to backtest later
and use tp per trade
if trade ig just set max trade to 1

anyway,

I will use these trades unattended at these time, for other time use manual of quantum with alerts

regards and cheers
cipan

Hi Cipan,

Is it possible to not put any window time?
There will be less confusion and more easy to use if the EA works like ON and OFF without using any window time.
Let's say I want to trade from now, I press AutoTrading to turn ON the EA, and the setting is 1 cycle, so after the EA worked for 1 cycle, it will not take trades anymore.
I need to turn OFF and then turn ON again if I want the EA work for 1 cycle again.

If cancel window time is impossible, I suggest that window time=unlimited (assuming it will working forever), but the cycle there put 1, so that it will stop working after 1 cycle until i turn On again.

In conclusion, the EA version I suggested above need some degree of manual handling.
I hope Cipan can make the EA version I suggested above for me if there's no problem

hi chinfei

answer to question = it still have the fulltime mode in both ea that I will post

again, Vlad is very good, it is only that (he or she), dun have any time to spend to check 1.6.1 for bugs
anyway special thanks to him

for mastermind, there is areuest to put more filter, but we need to correct the bugs first before going any further
if trade only end of us time and early Asian, I guest for now no need to have filter just proper q

cipan

hi all


will not use fulltime (remove)

after altering the ea, putting fulltime together with one time slot or two time slot, it kind of weird
meaning that if one slot (max trades, max cycles) and behind that fulltime (has to new iteration for max trades and max cycles)
if I or with one slot, that becoming redundant
so might as well use the time slot 0000:2359 (max trades, max cycles) for full time mode
(this version I will call 1.7.0_One_Time_Slot)

in contrast for another version is 1.7.0_Two_Time_Slot is catered for time trade before 0000 and another after 0000 with max trades and max cycles.
here is one drawback, if set max trades=1 for both slot, the max trades will probably double if the first slot end time is near to second slot end time

right now I am doing the backtest for both, will post it later

Hi Cipan,

In your One Time Slot EA version, is there any difference with the previous EA version?
Because previous EA version all also use 1 time slot, I don't see any difference in time management here.
Can you explain more about what is special in your 1.7 one time slot EA?
How is it better compared to the previous EA's 1 time slot?

EDIT:
I read your post again, like you said, putting time slot + full time mode together is weird and redundant, how about cancel out time slot? Just put full time. Is it impossible? Only you can answer this because I'm not the one making EA ><"
After you posted the 2 new versions of your EA, please explain how we should use it correctly. ^^
Based on what I understand so far, I don't know if there's any difference in version 1, but as for version 2, I'm assuming that it works like bringing a trade cycle from previous day (few hours before day end) to next day.

Hello everyone,

Can you have look at the indicator that i uploaded. It's working the same way like quantum, but i think, the signal are a lot better, even when there is a huge trend market.

I think we can make a similar EA with this indicator with better result.

Tell me what you think.

Thank you

hi chinfei

as I said it earlier, for full time mode (set full time mode equal to true) is no error and bug (so for I remove slot 2 and slot3)
you can use the original 1.6.1

but for setting time at slot 1, slot 2, slot 3 and you have read all the posts, there are folks said that suddenly ea stop taking the trade
and one more thing as I already said, the time cannot be set from lets say 1900 to 0700, need to separate it into two -> 1900 to 0000 and 0000 to 0700

regards
cipan

here is the original 1.6.1 screenshot

Hi Cipan,

I'm happy to see you put 24/5 option in your EA, that's what I wanted, although I'm not intended to really use it as 24/5.
If I turn ON 24/5, and set cycle = 1, what will happen?
Will it ignore the cycle = 1 and trade forever?
Or will it stop after 1 cycle? (I need to reset to make another cycle)

but when 24/5 is set to true and

daily cycles is set to 0 --> and max trades of slot1 and slot2 and slot3 must be set back to 0
otherwise you will see only 1 trade at one time

so you might ask when 24/5 is true, why it need to follow slot1, slot 2, and slot3 settings

and everyday, new people will come to this thread, and they will become headache of several settings they need to understand

and some other settings do not reflect also

that's why unofficially, I am voluntary of making things clear

so if you want clear and direct quantum ea just use shaolin version, but only have one slot of time

regards
cipan

1. open strategy tester
2. pen 1.6.1
3. reset
4. then 24/5 true
5. daily cycles set to 1
6. then you will have proper buy and sell by the box

later when I just want to change the time slot and max trade and max cycles but leave the 24/5 still true

then backtest only trade per cycles (weird)

ok I am preparing go to work

will post the clear EAs when finish

Please do include the TMA exit for trades after x% drawdown option.

I am getting Order Close Error 136

Hi Cipan,

The forward test for today by using your Quantum Simple Version by Cipan, got some error/bug.
I set the stop loss $ = -500, means when the loss reached $500, will become stop loss.
But today it closes all the trade at an earlier time for a loss of $444, if it didn't close, will be in big profit. (Why will close early?)
It is unsafe to use in live yet, I'm going back to latest Shaolin EA to forward test until I get satisfactory result.

hi all

I am not finish making 1.6.1 version clear as possible

but I am finish off the shaolin version 132 with additional trade optional to off because I dun want to trade Friday and I can use it to backtest
in addition I add one more time slot

as attached is the backtest 2015 I have done today (use tp)

I also backtest it with 0 max trades (unlimited) and 0 cycles (unlimited)
if you all want to be crazy enough but this time use 0.01 lot
but expect high drawdown even with lot 0.01

Hi Cipan,

Your backtest result in post #1258 looks very very nice.
Once you posted your new EA version, can you share the setting also?
Thanks!
