Hi,

I am still a bit uncertain about the actual signal of the EA...

Look back bars # : This determines what the EA compares the current price against for all three pairs?

i.e; 2 look back bars on D1 test compares current price against price 2 days ago? And this should be the same as 48 look back bars on 1H test?

In this post, you refer to a switch point. How does the EA actually determine this switch point?

Very promising tho!

Im wondering if this has something to do with JPY pairs (sort of risk-on / risk-off) or is general just between major / crosses

Best,

Very nice test Rob. Have you had any fifo/hedge issues (opposite signal while a trade is open - I am in the US like you)? Also, did you have a chance to check the journal for TS errors? I have my first trade open on the 4H.

No fifo/hedge issues as of late. Also, haven't seen any journal errors

nice EA with very smart aproach.
but have some bugs in some conditions.trailing doesnt work properly even if the double of pips have been made TS was set to 1000 points,some orders are closed at BE.
also i hope many of you here know that all this ''tester'' results are just dreams.the only can say more about is to add it in a demo and let it run few weeks at least in ''real market'' to open and close trades.mt4 tester is a crap and say VERY different things comparing with real market conditions same as mt4 at some point.
cheers!

I have been testing over some older time frames and the expert does not do so well with setting that work on today's markets, as others have observed. Of course this is expected, but trying to figure out when and why is very difficult....

There was no buy signal on GJ H4 on start of this week because GU was down and UJ was up.

It seems that on few occasions the stop is not trailed after break even points where those trades get closed at BE wasting huge profits. I will check the code and update for next week, probably with ATR levels included as well.

Here is comparison where a time frame of generally lower ATR tested with better returns by simply lowering the SL and TP.
