hi there.

i backtested 1/1/2015 to 1/3/2016 for GBPUSD , USDCHF , EURUSD and EURJPY
so far i only get good result on EURUSD and EURJPY , base on 90% modelling.

im curious if the results of the rest of the 20 pairs, anybody can share them? Do we needto tweak the TP and SL to get better results?
shemski / math7 thanks for the work being done here for the EA.

Thanks, Math put a lot of work in, those guys over at the TMS thread along with everyone else who influenced this strat with the TDI also deserve credit. Please post your results. Thanks

{quote} More is not always better.
definitely correct, mate...but to gain an overview of this strategy and the robot in particular, what works and what not, I need trades, trades...! Without them I can't judge anything... Two trades yesterday, GCAD got stopped out for -41€, GN made +45€ by trailing stop this morning.

The EA really does a good job, once more thanks to MT7, and we have to find out the best setup/settings...and that's our job. As already said, I'm using ATR based SL, TP, BE, TS and currently TDI level input 40. I'm still unsure, whether the filters ADX and EMA200 help or not. Perhaps you can do a test without them.

Cheers, jdva

sorry, I do only thrust my forward testing results with prices of my live broker, which I share with pleasure, I'm not a friend of backtesting and besides not experienced in doing it...

LOL.

Btw, just set the ADX Low/High Levels to 1 / 100 and the EMA period to -1 and you'll have pretty much the same affect as if you'd turn them off.

Hello MathTrader. Thank you for your work. Can I request a version of 1.7 that has a start and stop time built in? I'd like to be able to tell the EA when to start trading and when to stop opening trades.

Also, as a second thought, can you make it variable if the EA closes any trades left open at the end of the trading period?

Thank you in advance Math.

Hello everyone, it's great to see people still using this system. I took a few manual trades on Friady and this morning. It still works. This account is up well over 50% using almost only this strat. For those who understand price action, resistance and support levels, this system could be used extremely well with good money management.

Good luck everyone and feel free to either post your questions here or shoot me a PM:

jdva can you give us a litte more insight into your ATR trade management options? is it using a trade manager EA

Quoting jdva
I'm forward testing the EA v.1.85 on a 20er basket running 24h on M30 as MT7 has recommended, it works nicely but unfortunately gives just little signals/trades. I'm using ATR based inputs for SL, TP, BE, TS and max. spread filter. Risk reward ratio is 1:2. So far I got 6 trades in three days, 4 loser and 2 winner with 0,1 lot in EURO: GJ -45, GU -41, AU -27, AJ -26 EJ +57, AU +54 Nevertheles, I believe that this strategy has the potential for longterm profitability.

I'm using no TM EA, just very simple... assuming that the 480period ATR on M30 is 20 pips, my SL ist 40 pips and TP 80 pips (r/r 1:2), BE about 32 pips and trailing stop kicks in at 56 pips (-30% of TP) . But of course you can take other values you feel comfortable with.

I would never rely on backtest, let alone one year of testing. That will wipe out your account. You need at least 10yrs backtest, and a few months forward test (demo) then you can say it is profitable. Excuse me but when I tried to backtest year like 2010 on EU, the account equity was just dropping, no winners almost.

The second signal almost always is a winner, it's all about patience!

Have you guys ever used "divergence" in your trading. One of it's principals is exactly what "Shemski" quoted above.

"""In a nutshell, divergence can be seen by comparing price action and the movement of an indicator. It doesn’t really matter what indicator you use."""
I have stolen this quote from: http://www.babypips.com/school/high-...#ixzz44WbJUfau

​There is nothing extra to add to your charts, it is already there. Just have to learn how to read it when it shows.
Hope this helps guys...

Maybe this is not the right place to post.. but math can you make a simple ea? EA checks previous candle for buy or sell. if previous candle is bull EA opens buy and close the trade when a bear candle is formed and if previous candle is bear EA opens sell and close the trade when a bull candle is formed. no tp or sl. lot management is manual.

Thanks math....
