{quote} Actually no. Thats only a myth.

how ??

 

  1. It will reveal any bugs not discovered in back testing.
  2. It will give you a feel how the system will work on a real account, specially the WAITING issue
  3. Accuracy will be much better than back testing

In default settings the Break Out ATR Multiplier = 3 and RSI Filter = 1 (yes)
So you will not get signals very often.

I even use Break Out ATR Multiplier = 2 and RSI Filter = 0 (ignore) on EUR/USD H1 and I didn't get any signal yet.

Default settings could fire most probably at Red News time.

So my suggestion is to loosen the settings a little bit if you want to get more signals.

However, look at my explorer where I used ABO on Gold M15 ---> many false signals in a range market.

ABR (with my settings i.e : SL@4 , TS@6 , TP@20 with multiple orders) is a compounding trend following system, it will suffer many small losses before catching a trend, and when it does, few winners should be able to recover from previous losses and add to equity.

Hi,

Are there any settings that are somewhere in between the aggressive and default settings? Something that will trade moderately but without waiting long between trades?


Thanks.

Hi Reamasesa,

My problem is that I don't have much time to do all types of testing, this is why I share my ideas and EAs here at FF so that the people who have some free time and resources do the testing and share their findings.

Hi,

Thanks for replying.
I know but I'm pretty new to ATR so I'm not sure where to begin or should I just play with the ATR values and hope for the best.



Thanks again.

ATR Multipliers, Follow Last Bar Direction, MACD and RSI filter will affect the results.
In addition to Trading Time and Max Orders.

So you can try out different settings for these parameters of different pairs and time frames.

Hi .I have been reading your few ea's all looks good .Could you please add external parameters to have Minimum Lock profit = X Pips and once profit pips are locks so that we should not have some pips in profit better then loss. trailing should activate too say example I would say when in profit 20 Pips Minimum lock profit should be 2 pips and when we cross like 30 pips trailing should activate in step after minimum is lock . Just and idea to save your profit when in possitive .Thanks
