Quoting thodie
This is a really nice EA - i like the idea. one thing i would test is to restrict the max. distance in pips to the daily trend EMA, an overshot is usually rejected fast. {image} {image}
as stated in post #36 i would recommend a filter to prevent the expert from selling bottoms / buying tops
you can see in the pictures - the higher the distance the higher the odds for a losing trade.

//+---------------------------------------------------------------------+
double DT=iMA(NULL,PERIOD_M5,288,0,MODE_EMA,PRICE_CLOSE,0);

if(Buy* && Ask >= DT && Ask <= (DT+20*pt)) return(buy);
if(Sell* && Bid <= DT && Bid >= (DT-20*pt)) return(sell);
*your trigger; "20*pt" = 20xPoint
//+---------------------------------------------------------------------+

sure this will cause far less trades, probably a better solution is a dynamic distance to the DT EMA based on average daily range or something other that
isnt static.
just do it

Right thodie, I forgot to include that in v5. I will surely have it in v6.

it's good to see these back tests that correspond with the forward tests. That said I have not seen a lower TF test that survived long term. Perhaps this system might walk forward; most systems don't, but maybe this one will.

is very important to have hours in the EA
I think Ocsag meant an expiry date of the EA itself, not a trading restriction on the hours traded?

Thank you cj.
But there would be no added value in running the same test as thodie.

I suggest these options for you:

1. Running a different set file.
2. Running thodie's set on different pair(s).
3. Wait for v6 to forward test this week.

yep - i will upgrade to v6 and your new setfile once you released it ;-)

Its not about how many trades u bank a day but also about consistency. I see Thodie made a lot last week but now equity is down to +$20,000.

True. Thats why we forward test /enhance before committing real money on the system, bearing in mind that after all, we may end up with a false call.

Hat=In the ring!

Some pretty kewl ideas floating around here, dude.
Figured I'd whoop up a little something for my own personal testing...will see how it goes and maybe we can mill a few ideas together.

First - I have to make sure it trades.
Second - Verify triggering to pairs in trade...
After...maybe a share?

With this many pairs, I am bound to see a little action.

I've tried a couple of correlation traders in past that were fucking terrible.

Different methodology...
Different filtering...

Won't be expecting much, but maybe a little more to build on.

Will look forward to seeing what else the thread has to offer.

I, and others, have had success with the EA, but not for a long enough time to
validate consistency.

I'd have to test the thread version and have a better look under the hood to see what and where I might be able to add, but ultimately speaking, like Abokwaik said, given the simplicity, anybody with code experience should be able to replicate...

And really, why replicate if we add in a touch of our own whimsical flair?

Will giver a whirl anyways...a few snippets here n there can always be added or removed.

Among the different combinations available to trade USDJPY you can use 1 of these 2:

1. USDCAD + CADJPY = USDJPY
2. USDCHF + CHFJPY = USDJPY

the are 4 more combinations, but these are the straight forward sets.
