[quote=SmoothTrader;8743653] I'll try to run through your points one at a time. There will always be bad entries that result in losses, but we want to keep those loses as small as possible. How were you placing your stops?
What did you do when the candle closed on the opposite side of the MA?
for first trade i put 10 pips SL but i don't wait for it i close one a candle crossed the SMA, reentries no Sl, i am trading demo, so if i am live i may put it above the SMA or 10 pips .
This is just one possible order entry trigger method, have you thought about others? I personally use something other than the SMA.
I am trying the LWMA/EMA with different settings
Have you thought of only entering new orders if they are lower than the last entry (for sales) or above the last entry (for buys)?
Please post a screenshot to explain that
This would reduce some of your losses. Unfortunately there is no way to close all trades at once. EA's work through the closing process one trade at a time, so there will be some slippage. Sometimes it's positive and sometimes it's negative.

When focusing on safer entries DON'T focus on the good trades you missed, focus on the bad trades it saved you from because that is its purpose. It is nearly impossible to find a system that will reduce the bad trades while giving you all the positive trades.
Good way of thinking
GREEN pips to you Good Sir. Hopefully my questions and observations will help you to refine your trading method to something that is more comfortable for you.
Thank you so much for your reply

My pleasure.

Here is a screen shot to explain what I meant.

Candle 1 is the Primary Sell.
Candle 2 would be the 1st secondary add on Sell and it is lower than the price at candle #1.
Candle 3 would be the next secondary add on Sell and it is lower than the price at candle #2.
The next two bull candles would not trigger secondary add on Sells since they are priced higher than the last trade at candle #3.
Candle 4 would be the next secondary add on Sell and it is lower than the last trade at candle 3.
The next 7 bull candles would not trigger secondary add on Sells since they are all priced higher than the last trade at candle #4.
Candle 5 would be the last secondary add on Sell.

Hopefully that helps you understand what I was trying to say.

Any and all questions are welcome.

for those who asking me about my entries , I've made some changes to the original entry AND exit criteria and here it is

Buy when : price close above 34 SMA Applied to LOW , Not Close
Close Buy positions when : Price Close Below 34 SMA applied to HIGH not to LOW or CLOSE

Sell when : price Close Below 34 SMA applied to HIGH , Not Close
Close Sell positions when : Price Close Above 34 SMA applied to Low not to High or CLOSE

You can Change the exist criteria from above HIGH to Above LOW And from Below LOW to BELOW High
do some chart study and check it yourself

and for the EA , i guess I'll release it after one week for extra improvements and finally , to avoid flat market , use AROON UP DOWN indicator applied to 100 for H4 chart. this is my key to stay in trend

Good News :

some of the most important improvements to the EA are :

you can close all the Positions when your Float Losses is -100$ for example (you decide)

you can close all the Positions when your Float Profits is 150$ for example (you decide)

you can close all the Positions when your Account Balance is Doubled x times (you decide)

this is the current available settings for me to test (i may change it when i release the EA)

Final Result (H1 Chart GBP\JPY - start of 100$)

NOTE : win/lose ratio is not important because losses are always small (in pips & money) and we let profits run & Multiply them !

Hello,
I have been following this strategy with great interest and have a suggestion for the logic of the EA which I have been using in my manual trading, I believe instead of opening a new trade on each opposite candle we could have an option to set a pending trade a few pips above or below the opposite candle to take advantage of that price action and keep us from adding positions in a strong movement against the trend . We will haves a few less positions but less risk less drawdown and more efficient entries for our stacked trades.

This concept has been successfully implemented in other strategies I have been apart of and is referenced in this article which is a successful automated strategy closely resembling this one.

Great work Tarwada; looking forward to this.

Have you considered Close_Positions_Rule 3 - Close all positions if losses exceed "x" Percent of Account Balance?

Could you run on H4 for same period for comparison?

Well done!.

Cheers.

Okay Tarwada, mega thanks for your work on this. Here is an example of code for you that implements this idea. (also a great EA with excellent results long term.)

Good suggestion, but this would be a much different system from the HFT Method, IMHO.
