Hi Cipan!
Thanks for the fantastic work! But the problem is that it does not always work.
On Monday and Tuesday it opened the positions, but not today. Any ideas?
I use the quantum_shaolin132_Two_TimeSlot_DayOption_IndivLot1toLot40 version
Thanks!

Materrminde or Cipan... one more question: What would be suitable/reliable SL ? ( for example -100pips would be good?) I ask because You guys have more experience and you know for sure how much more or less price can go in the opposite direction before it hits the target TP Regards Overpower!
Depends on the volatility of the pair and historical trading ranges for the trading window you wish to trade.

Quick and easy approach is to find the average and maximum range for your trading window over at least 2-3 years of data.

If the range was for example 100 pips then draw a line every trading day (at least on the days you trade) 100 pips above and 100 pips below the price level at the starting time.

Look for key levels (look left and check out chart structure and zones of significant support and resistance) close to these 2 horizontal lines you drew and adjust the lines as appropriate so they fall just beyond the key levels (say 10 - 30 pips).

Based on this information factor in MM concerns such as likely number of entries and determine an appropriate lot size.

If in doubt start off with a smaller lot size than what you calculated since this method loves plenty of available margin........

Were there any Quantum signals on your chart? Perhaps posting your chart and settings would help. We are flying blind here - which pair, what time zones etc etc.

You need to have the quantum indicator loaded into the indicator folder.

Hi everyone,

first of all thanks to everyone contribution to these great EAs. I am also testing a lot and I realized that sometimes I have HUGE drawdowns and then I went and took a look why that is happening and realized that it is due to the symbol properties which are totaly unrealistic (margin 86% etc..).

So my question is, does anybody know how to modify the symbol properties?

Thanks in advance!

Hello!

Would able be able to tell me why the EA doesn't take a trades? it's been a few days. EA loaded successfully with "live trading" checked.

btw. After that long testing of this strategy You wanna to stay with it ? or its to dangerous to trade ? because of BIG drawndowns sometimes ?
Its good to make a decent profit of it playing only on M1 ? or maybe a biger timeframe is better to trade and safer ?

I will try with 100pips SL and draw the lines like You wrote and what is Yours SL ? (bigger? smaller then 100pips? or You just dont have one hehe)
I hope get some profit.... like You make... i wish to be such good like You Sir.!

Have a great day!

The recommendations I made ( wait till OB and colour change of Bressert indy on 5 min chart for entry and extra entries) will do better on the GU scenario today. I guess we beg the programmers to implement those recommendations.

I am reading this thread and waiting for update in EA which I requested but I can tell you that Mastermind trade in Asian session and has different settings for entry and exit. Check some of his previous posts.
Love for all; Hatred for none.

ShaolinQuant, I am testing your V1.3.2 and I find the following issues: 1. If for any reason the platform closes, any open positions are ignored and the EA restarts its cycles and ignores previously opened trades 2. If any adjustment is made to the settings in the ea it also restarts the cycles and ignores previously opened trades This may create an issue when we have unplanned shutdowns or platform freezes. The EA needs to "remember" what has happened or is happening IE open positions. Your thoughts on this? Thanks for your efforts maahome
Great observation. I notice the same issue too. If I shutdown the platform, restart, the EA 'forgets" all previous opened trades and then restart the cycle again (from 0.01 lot for example)

I have not noticed your 2nd observation though.

Need to also check what if we remove the EA, and then re-attached it back, will it also "forgets" all previous open trades?

I have been lurking on this thread since it's inception. This thread along with the dashboard thread has gotten be back in to coding and trading. For this I am thankful.

Over the past month or so I have written and tested various dashboards and EA's. I have yet to find anything that has sustained success. The best results that I have had thus far have been using Keltner Channels and Triangular Moving Averages. Using these the wins have been great, but I have not been able to find a way to minimize the inevitable larger losses. I have not given up, and any ideas that I come up with I will gladly share here.

My latest project has been to write a Python script to act as a bridge from MT4 to Oanda FXtrade. Using this I can and have been using an MT4 EA and placing and managing trades on Oanda's platform. This allows me to place trades as small as 0.01 per pip, but could go 100 times smaller. For a system such as this, having such flexibility in sizing allows me to trade a very small account. Below is a picture of my current dashboard running on a demo account and trading 28 pairs. Each set of 50 units is one order.

I have uploaded the Python script and the MQL functions that I use to call it in case anyone finds a use for it. The MQL script writes files to the files/FXtrade folder and the Python script reads them and manipulates orders via the Oanda API. Reading and writing files to communicate orders was the most consistent method that I found to get data from MT4 to Python. It is also unlikely that a future MT4 update will disable file usage.

To use the script you will need to add your account number and api token to the static.py file. This is the first program that I have ever written in Python, so if the coding is bloated or amateurish be kind.

Hopefully someone will find some use for this.

Hi there, I too am having success combining dashboard and quantum. Basically, I look at the dashboard to determine which pairs to target buy/sell based on strength/trend. Then I open a 1m chart and set Q values which look like they'll generate nice entries, looking to catch trades in the direction indicated by the dashboard. Honestly not really using the EA much, just manually looking at dashboard and quantum indicator. I like stick to the same sessions, usually Asia since that works best with my schedule. I have done much coding in Python and Oanda API as well, so maybe I can help out with some questions. Although, my time is limited and for now I am happy with my manual/managed EA success. Cheers

Be very aware of market news and key drivers and if in doubt don't trade close to that period.

You do not have to trade every day and so you must decide whether to trade or to give it a miss or trade several hours only prior to the news etc.

Always protect your positions with a global SL ....

Do not trade based on the premise that price will end up being nice to you and reverse back to your expected TP level..... this is dangerous thinking!

Do not trade blindly and try to stack the probability on your side!

Note: you could also consider other low volatile pairs if you wish so you have a GO-TO pair when NOT trading your favorite pair on a given day
