FireAntz (martingale like system) - Looking for Backtesters

  • First Post: Edited 8:40am Mar 24, 2016 4:03am | Edited 8:40am
Hi All,

This thread is for those who are passionate about EA trading and believe EA will enable them to make profits. The EA in reference is a martingale like system but have a tad bit of spice to its flavor. I'll leave it to each backtester to experience the wonders of this EA.

~~~~

We've been working on this EA since Sep 2015. It is currently at its final phase ready for distribution. As my team gets ready to cut out the base version for distribution I am opening up an opportunity for 10 individuals out there get their hands on 6 months live trade enabled version of this EA. The objective of this thread is to understand other than profits, what are the other feature in an EA that majority of the people would like to see. What are the wants and don't that the general majority wish to see in an EA.

Goal of FireAntz, is to allow users to begin small like an ant ($300 account) and eventually grow your account in time to a huge colony.

Note:
Do not ask about the Logic of the EA, as proprietary logic is in place, there is no way we will be elaborating the computation of the EA to anyone.

The requirement is as follow:

  1. First 10 user that post a 5 point constructive review of the EA, feel free to PM me for more details on how to receive your 6 month live version of the EA.
  2. Feedback can be either positive or negative, we hope to understand if there is anything out there that one would like to see included into the next improvement of the EA.
  3. Request for enhancement, can be either cosmetic, functional or logical. For example we know the EA still fails during major news, if there is any suggestion to filter out bad trades we would gladly incorporate it into the EA as much as possible.
  4. All feedback should be posted before April 30, 2016.

Overview/Need to know of the EA:

  1. FireAntz default setting is configured for EURUSD trading only, although it is possible to use it on other pair settings used might have to be tweak.
  2. FireAntz is not built to be used with JPY pair, it is only built to compute under 5 digit broker setup.
  3. FireAntz work best during Asian Trading hours, as much as possible avoid major news such as NFP, rate change.
  4. FireAntz's logic although encapsulate, it is fully tuneable to the user's preference.


Sample result screenshot:

Run for : 20160101 - 20160323

Chart: 1hr (only)


Enjoy~

FireAntz is an evolution from the be below EA.

Several things for this result..
First it does require a very very small spread to work, We been running our live account off tickmill with a spread as low as 0.4 pips.Try dropping the target profit to $1 because spread. Run it for this year. 2016, see if it is still a constant lost. If still lost try fix it to 0.5 pips spread, if that doesnt solve it I would be curious how you get a linear lost graph. it might be something we can use to switch it around.

Secondly you wont be able to run it with a $300 ration and $300 account in 2015, we had to put in on a $800 ration and account for it to survive 2015.

Thirdly, this is totally configurable, you are able to change the entire dynamic of the EA. The default setting is greedy, to be safe we really should run it off a $1000 account with $1000:0.01 lot ratio. There is also the option to switch the buy/sell logic around. If you are uncomfortable with counter trend (orginal setup). change the setting to Y and it would trade against the counter trend logic computed within the EA. I was able to survive a 2015 backtest with a $1000 account ratio in my backtesting. The profit was much lesser than what we see in the usual counter trend cycle.

Lastly, in real life, what we did for live account is to run only during no EUR and USD important news time. This may not be possible with backtesting hence we can always have the time filter to filter off NY open for example and the EA experience less spike period which it has to trade out of.

**The above feedback are from all the back testing and forward testing we have done for the EA.

Ahwee, can you check it out? I dont have tick data past Jan 2015. Need to know which array and why before I can tinker with it.

Acana, any comments about how the EA trades? Also can you give me the settings you are using that is causing the problem if it is the spread, how about just using 1 instead?

Acana, i think i figure out which array, i was declaring the open position array in the variable before the chart even started. This wouldn't be a problem after the first cycle begin. Did the array stop the EA at its place or just an error that goes away? Will tweak the EA later if you can proceed. I am going to be traveling for the next few days hence wont have a chance to update and test it anytime soon.

Yo Acana,

Figured out what's wrong with your Array Error, since you are doing historical back testing, the EA does require a certain # of bars to actually be able to do its math. Move the start date for the EA a few days forward and the error should go away.

Do note that this EA doesnt work forever, to make it work we have to avoid News Event that create price spike. This is also why we manually manage the EA to stop trading when we know a news event is coming up.

Btw, I been reading http://eareview.net/tick-data/convert-tick-data and trying to generate a set of data myself for 99% modeling quality, but i get N/A. Any idea whats wrong with that? Would appreciate it if you can give me a few pointers to get history data as far back as 2014.
