Now focus back to piggy. My first week of forward testing in a screenshot. I can tell you I was pretty impressed first day. Then the other days came and just compounded DrawDown. I was worried, trend-horizontal-trend-horizontal... how much can an account take? Drawdown quickly accumulated. Luckily it did not take that much retrace to close all the positions with a profit. I think people who use this system live must have balls of steel. Or... as me... back test enough to gain confidence and trust to jump in with real money. (i'm not there yet.....)...
Heh, this post made me chuckle. It seems it's exactly like that in some instances, nearly praying for the retrace as you become paranoid it might not happen!

This might be a stupid question but...
Is there any wersion of piggy with the same opiton wich is in other reamon ea's, i mean to choose that it would only buy or only sell?
I would like to try piggy's logic in the same way im trying other ea's for foward testing

And if there is none could somebody implement that?

thx

There is a setting in the ea properties for this when you start the testing.

My optimizer on gbp usd for 2010 - 2016 has finally finished.
In the attachment the results.
Finally I get to play some games again on my box

Maybe I'll run optimizer on JPYUSD as well, but first time to play.

There is a version that does only buy and only sell. It is version 4-1a.

http://www.forexfactory.com/showthre...60#post8875160

Please ignore the settings of inputs to set at TRUE, TRUE. It will not work, but yes. You can set the EA to do the buy only up and sell only down in grid steps.

Note that it does not replicate Remon's methods of his system. The close conditions are still the same as every other version which closes all toxic trades at the earliest opportunity and at the settings of your TP.

Many Thanks & Best Regards,

Daniel

For this, you only need to use v4-1a and set round numbers to 15 pips. v4-1a is an older version that round numbers are calculated by price fraction rather than just tell it to trade 15 pips. You will need to read up on how this works but 15 pips in price fraction for the JPY pairs will be 0.15 and mostly anything else will be 0.0015.

As for the TP, I have no EA version that takes profit at a monetary value but you can always use a pip calculator to figure out what this is. 6.8 GBP is approximately 10 pips and 10 USD is approximately 10 pips when trading 0.1 lot. I have not calculated a EUR value as I don't use EUR anymore. There are pip calculators on the net you can look at that will help you.

hi tundex,
based on your observation, what's the maximum DD based on setting 0.5 round number and 100 TP for the past 20 days?

Unsure what you aim for with your question. I cannot answer anything else than "excellent, of course"

The file it what it is... the result of an optimizer run.
I do not recommended settings. Interpret and use the data at your own discretion.
You could for example use the results as a collection of set-files, so that you can pick the settings you want to further test and personalize.

If you open metatrader, you can download data for backtesting from your broker directly.
This data is used in the optimizer.
I have no means to verify the dataquality that I received.

If you want to see if the results are comparable to your environment, why not simply pick a set that you like, and run a backtest for this set yourself?
Since you are member since sept 2014, so I assume you know how to run a backtest in mt4 ?

Yes, I did.
But the data quality not really satisfied. Understand there is data quality >90%, i have tried to download, but the free version only works for terminal 650 and below. So trying to get more quality data for backtesting.

Please let me know if you find better data. I'm interested.
Since this is not a scalping system, I am unsure if it makes a big difference.
But... this why I am currently forward testing...... to check if the backtest results are holding in live situation.

So far today I was able to capture some pips. Will post my weekly results on Friday again.

Halloo everyone! First of all apologize me for my bad english, im from ita :-)

Second, thanks to Keyduck for piggy, a very good expert advisor.

Anyway, after 2 weeks of demo, I think we can avoid bad trade opening by setting a simple RSI filter to allow piggy to place orders.

In other words we know piggy works at his best during lateral market conditions, up and down and again. The whorst situation is when markets switches in high trend (no matter up or down).

So, a simple RSI filter before piggy trade logic and maybe we can avoid to have bad trades opened. I think best settings can be to allow piggy trading between 45 an 55 RSI limits.
The filter can be switchable also to varios timeframes period of RSI itself.

What do you think about this idea? Someone can code this in Piggy?

Best wishes at all.

Mat

.... I think we can avoid bad trade opening by setting a simple RSI filter to allow piggy to place orders....
Could be worth a shot. Piggy is a ranging, RSI filter is a trending. They could complement eachother, but also could nullify eachother; piggy also keeps opening orders to trigger the retracement. Danger is that the RSI will also block this retracement mechanism.
Should be tested thoroughly, I am happy to help with that.
