sevan62, thanks for sharing EA!
In my opinion, EA needs the Martingale greed(step = SL(200) the same way was first deal, first recovery deal should be lot the same as first, others *K_lot, TP2=1/3 SL1 etc.) option for not profit trades. I think it should not open new series on loosing pairs until close by profit martingale. Other pairs deals may open at the same time. It could be only option, anyone can use Martingale or not. Could you realise that in EA?

Magic numbers, weekend sleep, Martingale, etc. etc. etc. ? Cmon guys, that would be playing with sand and water.
Start with the big rocks !!!!!!

Sevan62 is programming things into an Expert Advisor, which is essentially a rule based environment.
All participants of this forum should really ask themselves the following: "What are the most important rules" (the biggest rocks) ?

IMHO one of the most important rules is derived from the following question:
"What are the differences and parallels between gambling and trading" ?
1 difference is the availability of information.
1 parallel is the math involved.

How come guys like Edward Thorp or Blair Hull became millionnaires ?
They became millionnaires (and were banned from many casinos) because they successfully applied mathematical and statistical concepts.
These guys realised that (forex) trading, just like gambling, is all about probabilities and money management.
I have personally learnt a lot from books like the mathematics of gambling, beating the dealer, ...

Whoever recognises and manages to successfully apply these concepts will have the edge over all the other traders out there...

Have a good weekend.

{quote} Within this idea would be important then to separate the pairs with the possible combinations within the markets. Working in Tokyo only with AUD currencies, NZD, JPY and USD. Working in London with GBP currencies, EUR, CHF, CAD and USD. Note: Currency AUD and NZD arrive in London saturated, often with their hit ADRs. There are so potential, both as strong to weak. This idea of separating the coins are very good. notice that some of the stops in London are always currencies AUD and NZD. Just an observation
Good idea, mate Robinho if it comes from from your observation. It is included in ToDo List.

@sevan62 1-about your question,YES, 1 trade x session would be the best choice for me 2-yes I know about the M30 candle possible late entry,but I've tested M15 and I'll try M5 and M1,I'm not interested in M30(just my humble opinion) I trade my manual system from M1,M15 and M5,and I've to match my trades with the EA.
It is because of absence of level filters yet. BRN, Fibo and Pivot.

3-another possible add-on,maybe a little out of topic----add MariaLuiza Master\slave pairs filter as an optional 4-more sophisticated rule
Sorry, buddy, but i failed to find clear definition of this rule. Do you maen this one?
Quote
RISK adversion\appetite filter. CHF & JPY strong=Risk adversion with this filter on,we could have less trades,but more profits in my opinion
Only CHF & JPY strong combination works? Please try to make a bit more detailed description of this rule, it is not enough.

Thanks for participation.

Our big problem is discipline and patience. One thing I've noticed a long time AUD and NZD are too strong or too weak in Tokyo ... something or other. (Note) NEVER ... NEVER GOOD TO ENTRY INTO OR AUD NZD WHEN ONE IS WEAK AND OTHER STRONG. COMPLY WITH THESE TWO WHEN ARE THE TWO PAIRS (1st and 2nd IN FORCE) OR 3rd (7th and 8th IN FORCE). This is a feature of the market that already realized. These coins when they are weak or strong remain the weak or strong all day, but as I said earlier, it is best to stay out of them in London and NY or look. (Just my opinion). EUR and GBP are strong or weak in the London market, and if possible within the previous rules (AUD, NZD), because one leads to another. usd and jpy are rabbits or turtles that pips race (kkkkkkkkkk) I believe that the entries should be as follows: Tokyo audusd and buy or sell NZDUSD (the signal according to the two together) AUDJPY and NZDJPY buy or sell (the signal according to the two together) London eurusd and buy or sell GBPUSD (the signal according to the two together) eurjpy and GBPJPY buy or sell (the signal according to the two together) Lord sevan62 not know if explained properly, but if you set it in an EA (can be another experts) "double EA Tokyo and London" Entries will only be subject to the rules: 1) Entries in Tokyo only when audusd alignment with NZDUSD (sell or buy). 2) Entries in London only when eurusd alignment with GBPUSD (sell or buy). THESE ARE BASIC RULES. Getting an EA make entries with these rules, the probability of winning will be very large. Give some attention to this friends. We DO NOT NEED A INPUTS HILL. We NEED TO IMPROVE OUR HITS RATE AND OUR COST X REWARD. WITH THESE RULES BELIEVE THAT WE CAN IMPROVE OUR OPERATIONS. Only 08 possibilities: TOKYO audusd and NZDUSD BUY audusd and NZDUSD SELL AUDJPY and NZDJPY BUY AUDJPY and NZDJPY SELL LONDON eurusd and GBPUSD BUY eurusd and GBPUSD SELL eurjpy and GBPJPY BUY eurjpy and GBPJPY BUY It may sound crazy, but think about it. Let's leave monitor 28 input possibilities (28 pairs), and let's just follow possibilidaes 04 in Tokyo and 04 possibilities Londres.Com a high probability of winning. Look at the double desssas candles in their respective sessions A HUG TO ALL. {image}
Thx Robinho, this rule is put on ToDo List also. And maybe separate EA based on this rule will be made.

Does anybody know when the London market open time on ICMarkets broker platform. The reason i am asking is i want to make sure i set the right ttimes for the London open in the EA.
My broker Is ICMarkets also and LO is 10.00 for it. It is set by default.

@sevan62

I can see in your to do list a lot of good possible add-ons

 

  1. .............................................
  2. Implement 000/00 Udine levels filter. (Udine&Marco&Robinho)
  3. Implement SnR levels filter. (JibalaPasan&LuXing)
  4. Implement Pivot levels filter. (JibalaPasan&LuXing)
  5. Implement Fibo levels filter. (JibalaPasan&LuXing)
  6. The only 1 trade x pair x session filter (the bourne)
  7. Add preffix/suffix currency pairs recognition.

From my charts observations in the last 3 years,price action truly obeys and respect Monthly,Weekly and Daily Opens, and Monthly,Weekly and Daily Pivots.
Sometimes it is really amazing to see how price reacts to these "invisible" barriers.
I know that sometimes Jibala ignores this rule when trading manually,but I wouldn't like my EA to do the same.
And would be possible in the future to have the EA with all required indicators just included into the code?

thx

Are you shure about Monthly and Weekly Opens level? I have seen only Daily Open level as important one. And i suggest, it works pretty accurate. EA will respect all the levels put in ToDo List. They all will be user switchable also.

Are you not mistaken with saying "indicators"?

  1. First i'm not intended to add any indicators in EA. EA doesnt need them. If you need any you may attach them on your chart.
  2. Second the EA is multicurrency and being attached to one chart (enen non-trading instrument) it cannt show all the levels on all 28 currency pairs. And let us weigh roughly the number of these levels: 3 Opens (daily, weekly, monthly), 3 Pivots (daily, weekly, monthly), about 7 Fibo, 18 SnR. Total 28 levels x 28 pairs = 784 levels on one chart! Isn't it better to make a template with all the indi and levels you need and open apropriate chart you want?

We need magic number in the EA
Dear friend, the first version of EA already has Magic Number. You may see it if you open terminal window, open Comment column and aim the pointer at the comment of any closed deal. Magic Number will be backlighted. It is 9147356 by default and is not user changable.

Sorry, my friend, but i must strongly refuse here. Martingale has nothing to do with this EA as well as this EA has nothing to do with Martingale. My last experiments with Martingale failed more than 12 years ago end i will never come back to them anymore.

Absolutely agree. ... except Magic Number. Every my EA has MN, it doesn't spoil EA and make it heavier. But having MN in EA you may trade manualy or with another EA on the same account.

Dear LuXing, may i ask you an advice? Do you think static (fixed and flexible) TP/SL are enough for EA? Or maybe TrailStop BreakEven function will improve it, reduce the number of losing trades? Udine rules include WUKAR TS & BE.

Udine rules include WUKAR TS & BE.
For starters, take 5-7 pip TP and 17 pip SL.
When or if you figured out the "big rocks" and how to stick em in the EA, you will want to use a flexible TP of between approx. 4 and 8.5 pips.

I have done the legwork. This post answers your second question, BE and TS are definite donts.
Don't get too hung up on Udine's rules. Rather, try to see them as a framework or lines in the sand.
Take the good elements of the rules, skip or ignore the rest.

MariaLuiza's Master\Slave Filter explanation=

Before entry make sure that the pair Master and Slave are moving in same direction and the direction of trade and direction of master slave pairs are same.
Example:
Lets say EURCAD qualifies for an entry according to GVC/Jibala current dashboard entry rules but before entry make sure that at that time Master (EURUSD) and Slave(EURJPY) are arround EURCAD and they are having same strength/price direction as that of EURCAD. Like if we are making a buy entry for EURCAD then EURUSD and EURJPY strength direction should be Upward

Version 1.3 uploaded in post#1

  1. Added BRN (Big Round Numbers) 000/00 Levels Udine Filter. It is set to 100 (100 5dig points = 10 pips) by default. You may change it or disable filter if set its value to 0.
  2. Added Pivot Levels D1&W1&MN Filter. It is set to 60 points by default. You may change it or disable filter if set its value to 0.
  3. Added S1/S2/S3 & R1/R2/R3 Level D1&W1&MN Pivot Filter. It is also set to 60 points by default. You may change it or disable filter if set its value to 0.
  4. Added DO, WO, MNO (DaylyOpen, WeeklyOpen, MonthlyOpen) Level Filter. It is set to 60 points by default. You may change it or disable filter if set its value to 0.

Briefly tested on ICMarkets and Tickmill with all filters enabled, on normal and ECN mode with fixed and flexi SL/TP.
Unfortunately sometimes EA cann't place SL/TP in ECN mode because of too tight values and big broker stoplevels. There are two ways out: 1)i can make EA to work with hidden SL/TP or 2)set SL/TP as tight as broker permit and modify it when price move higher/lower. Which one is better?

Previous versions:

Version 1.1

  1. Added MaxSpread Filter (value in points).
  2. Added MaxSpread Filter (value in points).
  3. Changed Time function, added minutes. Input format "10:15" (Hours:Minutes).
  4. Added Wukar News Filter. EA from version 1.1 and higher requires WUKAR_News and FFCal_WUKAR indicators (attached in post#1) which must be placed in \MQL4\Indicators folder.

Version 1.2

  1. Added volatility auto adjustable SL/TP based on ATR. Fixed SL/TP is also avalable. When fixed values SL & TP are set > 0 than they used by EA. If you want to work with flexible SL/TP you have to set fixed value(s) SL/TP=0 and in this case EA will calculate StopLoss basing from ADR (daily ATR). You may use any (SL or TP) flexible or both of them as you like. At fist better try default settings.
  2. Matching Udine's rules added SwitchOff trading function on ADR reach. You may only switch it On/Off by True/False. Switched On by default.
  3. Acordint to LuXing's kind advice added Monster Bar Filter. It is also based on ATR/ADR. EA will compare the last closed M15 bar with ADR*k and if (the last M15 bar > ADR*k) than EA define this bar as Monster Bar. You may chose the value of this k in EA. It has 0.5 default value.
  4. Added ECN/STP order execution mode. Nothing special.


There is still much to do.

Now i'm curious about Fibo Levels Filter. There is an opinion that "Zone between 38 and 61 is dead zone." Can somebody confirm that it make sence?

Version 1.3 with Fibo Level Filter attached below.

same timezone, 1h25m into London morning session,
M1 candlesticks gave 10 trades ,4 losses,6 wins,net pips-15,6
ticks version gave 11 trades ,2 losses ,9 wins(!) net pips -0,4

the winning % is quite good
interesting results,tomorrow I'll apply similar settings to the new version
not sure about TP and SL,maybe a mixed 13pips SL\8pips TP could be the way to go
and yes,13 and 8 are fibos numbers,lol
