{quote} The bitch setting shoots for the Minimum Profit, user parameter ->TP. (Closing on this can leave a little more profit than intended, but can also leave a little less meat on the bone. By this point, just getting the fuck out of the trade is the main consideration) In trend there is a different exit logic than when the trend changes. Capturing every market pip is almost an impossibility, so I only aim to get what I consider as high probabilities.
Agree... would be happy with minimal loss in these situations.

At some point you gotta stop tweeking... be happy with what you got... and start looking for the best pairs and best times to let it run.

Personally would have to see it run for a month in all kinds of environments and shut down certain pairs around new releases to get a feel for it.

To a certain extent, yeah.

Thing is...and what most won't likely do....is use this as a utility for their manual trading.

Inverse EMA1 and EMA2 to the second set of EMAs
Work with EMA3 and EMA4 and Stochastics for picking trades or cost averaging their own positions.

Because this will have full functionality to set a 1000 pip grid and a stop loss...you can effectively work with your own personal supply and demand zones and just have the EA trigger on which ever time frame you choose...

Or, just let it run as is...
Or, cherry pick Time Frames to Sessions to Pairs and Manually turn on and off the logic.

There are a lot of ways to work with this...not just as is.


After that...I will find another project.
Another Logic.
See if I can make something better.

Again, for me, Automation is a Hobby...I've made nice tidy sums of money playing with these and that keeps me playing more.

I agree...for the most part, I don't think anybody should work with these unless they have money to lose and use it as a form of entertainment. I've personally lost thousands before making some money back, but don't think most would go through the same.

Keep it on Demo...No pressure, you sleep at night and you can see what the market can make and lose in an day/week/month.

It's all part of learning and understanding.

All a part of the game.

All will expire on Feb 29, 2016.

May be a final release after...may be another idea.

{quote} I released the wrong version... I have several working files when I am in code mode. I run a few Backtests to verify triggering on multiple accounts to see which ones make sense and which ones are pure shit. Typically will have 3 versions running at a time, all different sets according to what I see in visual mode. After that...I refine, compile and re-run. My coding day on Saturday started at about 11am(ish) and these versions were released around 8pm(ish)...many versions run...many beers drank! What can I say... Copied n pasted...

Lucky to have this Version

Getting hammered in GOLD FK1 - 15min(900s)!! Luckily it's just demo

Gold made some serious moves over the last couple days...even when it doesn't I leave that fucker well enough alone!

Burned once for a couple grand on manual...I'm just as happy without it.

On demo, it would be interesting to see how it plays out, but might stick to a smaller TF. Gold will typically trend on the day and offer enough to exit on re-traces.

If you are working with FKStochs, make sure you are set to 1440EMA as EMA2.

Getting continuous FIFO violation messages with FK2.

That's on closing all trades, right?

Does it still close all trades???

I was almost sure this should be FIFO compliant, might be wrong...if it is just an error, should be no big deal because it closes all at the same time and may just show up errors in the journal tab.

But if it fucks with the logic, will definitely be something that I need to work on.

Hello Magix,
I admite i didn't really undertand the TF and the delay stuff...

As well as the take profit of 1$. Using 0.1, should i set this to 10$? Is for all the position on a single currency or just 1 trade?

Sorry for asking...

The Delay is the minimum amount of time between trades, in seconds. If you are trading on an M5 chart and you have this set to 60 seconds, it could possibly trade 5 times inside of a single M5 candle as long as the grid requirement is met.

If you are trading an M1 chart and have the delay set to 60 seconds, if the criteria is met, it will trade once every 60 seconds as for cost averaging and trigger logic.
M5 - 300 seconds minimum
M15 - 900 seconds as a minimum

As long as you select a delay that is greater than equal to the time frame, you should be fine. Adjust the grid size accordingly.

The default lot size is .01, not .1. If it shows up on your broker using .1, then maybe you will need to move the TP to $10...I don't know, because I don't have this issue with my current brokers. As entered in as .01 trades at .01.
