LET ME JUST TAKE A MOMENT TO ANNOUNCE THAT REMON'S EA IS NOW IN POST 1.
Without Mr Remon and his strategy ideas, I would not have come to the point of building the EA that I have built.
I invite anybody follower or not of his thread to visit and try it out. http://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?t=583322
THIS IS NOT A COMPETITION. I HOPE YOU FIND SUCCESS EITHER WAY!
THANK YOU MR REMON FOR ALL YOUR EFFORTS!

HELLO THREAD FOLLOWERS!
I just wanted to throw something out here for your testing and comments.
Basically I have been trying to eliminate DD from the results I have got from running 3+ years backtest of 2013-Present.
After various and numerous mind numbing ideas, most have failed. I tried to get the grid to adjust according to price action and then came up with this far fetched idea. Why not open BUY/SELLS on bar opens? This was working somewhat great as in clustered areas, positions were mounting up but closing quickly as I was setting a TP of 100 pips to a 4H chart, then too much DD so I went to daily, still too much DD so I tried both every 3 and every 4 daily bars.
None of this good enough so I finally got to open BUY/SELL on each open of weekly candle and a TP of 200 pips.
Everything went swimmingly, I was really happy as I was going to get around £400 DD per 0.01 lot on this 2013-Present test instead of my previous best results of £600 max DD and then something happened.
I attach yet again what the problem is. Large trend moves with little retracement.
I am so annoyed that we can't get to a solution for this. I also attach what I like to call version X1 as it is only experimental and I don't believe it to be a stand alone for running an EA on it's own but I am thinking maybe it is a progression in how to make Piggy n The Middle better. I am not yet sure of this but I did like what I saw in the backtest.
I'm a bit of a loss for this. I got a few more ideas in my head but am appealing to people for ideas.
Happy Pipping!
Daniel

HELLO THREAD FOLLOWERS!
have to admit You have interesting ideas. I quckly run this EA [ not tick mode ] for March and April and instead of 10080 i put 60. with almost 50% DD account starting 5k USD account finished over 6,7k US. I know it's nothing but worth to test for future.
I was also thinking about HA candels - if candel starts red EA open sell if next candel if red so EA again sell if next is white then buy position will open.
Not sure but maybe then we will ge with trend and close all positions once hit set profit?
I do not know if this work, just long shot.
thanks

I am reluctant to comment any more on this as I did say from the beginning that I might learn something I never thought would work.
This is easy enough to setup. Let me see if I can play with your idea and come up with something.
Cheers!
