Hello magix

For le also fk2 had very good results in 5mn with 300 delay and gris 10
I think that trading this in 1mn with only grid 2 is absolutely silly
A later grid give more flexibility

Magix I request also to have fk2 available again please

This NFP has been outstanding to say the least, my live account is now at +$2,960.00, DD is at -$200.00, so FK5 really rocks !!

BTW my profit setting is set to 5 and not to the default of 1, but everything else is default.

The demo is Pepperstone and the live is IC Markets.
Pepperstone Demo servers are total fucking garbage.

I wish my wife went down as often as those pieces of shit!

I will have an extended profit version ready for release for the New Week, Next.
This one had a bit of rogue code forcing you to adapt to a larger value to see anything that resembled prosperity. This is what happens when I push for a release before a complete market test.

In addition, I like the triggering of FK original vs FK2-5, but like the pyramiding of 3-5 vs FK...might have to marry those bitches together and have a 5.1 or something.

Given the NFP week, typical chop...we seen a fairly substantial Draw with Both versions of FK testing, but;
1. They both survived.
2. They both made more profit than were ever in draw.

Overall, pretty decent.

There's only a couple more % gain on the newer version of FK5 than of the original, but I think the biggest difference comes into play when we analyze the number of trades taken by FK vs FK5.

FK5 only took a little less than 70% of the same trades, and because of not having the wussy out closing logic, managed to make up the difference and a little bit more on gains.

Thing is, in a live trade situation, less trades on your live broker will actually end up doing better, overall as there is less likelihood for orphaned trades as well as the Trend Logic helped FK5 keep out of a couple of other situations that FK got into, seeing larger drawdowns consistently, where the Draws on FK5 were restricted to Wednesdays Mash up.

In this, because of the triple trend pattern recognition of FK5, I am hoping to avoid the Friday Massive Draws into close of week.

Can it be done?

We should hopefully see more in the week coming.

Fairly excited about the overall though.

Hi Magix

I am also doing forward test on your fk5. So far nice equity curve and what i really like about this EA is less DD. I am going to run it 24/7 until it expire to see how it ends. Great Work

I agree that Pepperstone's demo servers are complete garbage, but then and again most brokers dont give a shit about there demo accounts. I ended up the week on my live account up +$3,136, for a gain of 77% with FK5. However my piece of shit Pepperstone demo took a big hit on a large GU basket of Sells of -$945.00, which happened late yesterday and was a big surprise because my live account didnt have the same trade at all. I am going to run a new ATC brokers demo with FK5 for this coming week.

Magix can you explain how the 2 Macd and 2 EMA's work as far as trend detection works ?? In other words do the 2 EMA's have to be above price for sells and below price for buys, and Macd above/below zewro line ??

Does this logic work off of a larger time frame or is it specific to the time frame that the EA is being run on ??

Fortune favors the bold!

NFP week typically plays well for Grid Traders, so the fact that it did well is not much of a surprise, but how well it did, is.

Next week...we could be and most likely will be looking at a whole new ball game.

Statistically speaking...and this of course goes off of observation more than anything, Wednesdays and Friday after London Close are your high risk trading times. If you are running on your live money again for the week following, I would encourage a little extra caution for these days.

Missed entries and missed exits due to the lag and down time of Pepperstone Demo, really doesn't make for great stats and of course, this week proved that again. I've lost a couple of months verifying how fucking terrible they are, but have also done the same with a few other brokers as well.

For my true tests, I ran live and ran demo with a few different brokers and stuck with the ones that had the closest week closes for profit. Of course they weren't exact, but within reason. So far, this same broker has carried and I'm happy with their services.

Really, a quest we must all take for ourselves.

The MACD's from the original template were meant to show an easy visual reference with the trend. When the MACD is above zero, the trend is long and conversely for MACD below being short. After that, it is setting primary triggering logic for in trend trades, logic if the trend changes, closing logic in trend and closing logic for when the trend has changed.

There is a lot of different ideas being employed as there really is no single system that I have come across to have consistent and steady results as has a combination of logic like has been employed in the FK series.

Does this logic work off of a larger time frame or is it specific to the time frame that the EA is being run on ??
The logic is built of Multiple Time Frames, but is actually specific to the time frame it is being run on. The Number One trend that is being assessed is the position of the candles in relation to the 1440EMA. The 1440 is effectively the 1EMA on the Daily Chart. If we are trading above this line, we look for longs and again, conversely if below for shorts.

Will we trade longs below and shorts above?
YES....But, not as a primary trade.

All of the ducks really do have to be in line for the logic to trigger and once a trigger has been taken, it's off to the races, so to speak. FKs will all work as fast and as hard as they can to either cost average the trade, or pyramid into the trade until the closing logic kicks in.

Again, very complex logic, but very simply pieced together.

Just a series of If's, And's and When's.

Welcome aboard dude.

I am assuming that the 8180 is FK, and if is, Looking Gooooooooooooooooooooood!

What time frame are you working with and have you changed any of the defaults in the sets?

yes and now i changed name to FK5 from 8180. i am working with M5 with Time Delay=300.

if you can think about to add risk per trade in next update please. we can set risk 0.01% risk, so draw down will be still lower. We can see same account growth for small and large account by percentage wise. It means Equity curve will be exponential as account grow.

Results for the last four trading days. Three, low daily-range pairs, $1.50 target, 5-pip grid. Certainly not a barn
burner, but $38 is $38. Plus, the DD is exemplary.

2 New Toys added to the mix...

FK5.1 - Revised version of FK5 - fixing the Profit Bug for Larger Timeframes.
FK5.2 - Least agressive version of the FK series and uses the High Flying Logic on a Major Trend Change as seen HERE. This is quite similar to the original FK logic on trend change, adjusted triggering and Moving Average.


I will be swapping out my FK original Trade Explorer for the week as I think this week will be an account killer without the medium trend logic.

Have fun...

Please post links to Myfxbook and Trade Explorers.

Just whipped up a couple of quick backtests for FK5 and FK5.1. 90% modeling and no mismatched charts errors. Test Period: 2015 Time Frame: M5 Delay: 300 Grid: 10 pips Target: $1.50 FK5.1 made $241 more than FK5. DD was the same for both versions. FK5 Profit Factor: 2.03 FK5.1 Profit Factor: 2.13 {image} {image}
FYI Magix does not want anyone to post any back tests on this thread, so not trying to sound like the FF police here but he was very adamant about that. I am starting back tests at 99.9% modeling quality with tick data, so we will soon see what the results are.

Post deleted posthaste(no pun intended). Forgot about the restriction. Just wanted to illustrate that v5.1 does better, at least in backtest. Of course, as we all know, forward test puts the rubber to the road. When the green flag drops, the bullshit stops.

Both have the Medium Term trend logic.

5.2 is just a more restricted to the Minimum Range Grid until the Long Term Trend changes.

5.1 is aggressive as fuck! It goes into bitch mode on a Medium Trend Change.
