My 2nd Thread and EA at FF is here for the public and ready for development and use. Please support me in what I believe can be one of the best free EAs out there should we be able to push it to it's optimum potential.

It's FIFO compliant as well
Thanks for all your support here. Hopefully I will get a similar response in my new project!
Please note that this will not distract me from this EA. Should there be anything I can do for Piggy n The Middle, please let me know. I am not a coder, but I will do my best to support you in trying new things or simply helping to use it just the way it is
{quote} hello, invermac, you can share your file set and where the EA version are you using?
sure here you go
The firs pic is piggy V4-2
the localtime is the broker time, in my case london open 10:00am broker time so change this to your broker time if you want
and second one is the basket for 2.5% daily
I have many problems in the begin to test this like tundex, but then I discover why I have many negative results. The first testing was with GFC account demo and FXCM and for this strategy works we need an account with very low spread. So I open a demo account with XM Zero this account have no spread so this strategy works perfectly with this account.
And another important thing is the leverage. Tundex use 1:1000 so he can have 10% easy. I use 1:200 and try the get 10% and fail, so I go for 2.5%, JezVoss use 1:500 and he make 5% so see the leverage account by the target you want to gain. I think real account $1000usd with leverage 1:200 is not very risky with this strategy and make 2.5% daily.
have a good day
I never been much into "free ea's" I am always the first to be sceptical. But this really looks promising. I started backtesting and I am pleasantly surprised. In this thread it is stated that this strategy is not optimal when the market suddenly starts trending w/o reversals. What if.... we combine it with a strategy that is performing well in a trending market ? What are your thoughts about that?
As far as combining the strategy with something that trends is a bit difficult as there are many factors to consider, mainly when to hedge and when not to hedge. Then there is the whole issue of getting an EA to trade trend. How do you define it? How does one define the end? Not only when does it do what but how does it do what and when? I think if I had the choice and could do it, I would build and EA that trades like a trend trader but am not convinced there are any indicators that can properly do the job.
I am currently working on another EA which is more trend reversal based. Maybe in the future I can find a way to get the best of both worlds. I am a bit new at EA creating as I am not a coder but a programmer with fxdreema.
If you think you have a good strategy be it trend or not trend, feel free to PM me and I will be more than happy to try to program it for you.
Thanks and welcome!
Daniel
These 4500 lines of code for such a simple strategy are so hard to work on lol, better make an other ea to add the filters I think. Would you be keen Keydcuk?
The other option was when I appealed to coders to make a coder friendly version of the EA. I have explained all the steps and I don't think it would be a big job at all. I would do it myself if I knew how to code. I must get back on skype and make some time to keep up with free coding lessons I have been offered. I've only had one lesson so far

You'll always miss 100% of the shots you don't take.
{quote} Yep I've been using fxdreema and others EA builders in the past I know perfectly how it simulates stacks of codes.. Problem is that it's quite slow backtesting and optimizing such strategies on the long run (even more with filters) with so many useless lines of codes.. I'll work on it for you. Just PM me the clear strategy and I'll keep you guys updated

{quote} I PMd you back regarding the round numbers, could you check it out please, also if the suscribers interested in such an EA could give me the filters they would like to use on the EA I'd be thankful. I'm planning on adding a filter based on the user preference (currently MA slope; MACD levels; CCI thresholds/levels; CCIMA slope; ADX levels) Cheers
Here is something slightly off the topic that I think a lot of you will find useful.
"You can save your MT4 reports as excel spreadsheets!!!!!!"
Simply change the extension of the file name to .xls when you are saving the file. Use the dropdown menu to "All Files (*.*)"
THAT'S IT!!
I am so excited about this...
