{quote} Somewhat expected that it will do well outside of tight ranges for those seeking 1:5 RR with a 5000 target, stacking multiple trades, etc.
as the trail was active RR was not the problem in my test.
I´m talking about this if we can avoid! trades like this... profit factor would be most likely better.

Good afternoon, unfortunately I didn't have any chance to access my computer for the whole week. I will get back home on Sunday and I will do my best to do v6 before markets open.

I highly appreciate your patience.
All the best and have a nice weekend.

good day,

Just reverse the code. there is a 20 pip opportunity. Sell instead of buy and vice versa. Divergence is what this is based on. Divergence should not be an opportunity to trade in the divergence direction - rather the opposite?

Agree on the divergence. Please see post #28. As I replied to your request on the reverse option it will be supported in v6.Thank you

best could be "auto learning bot"...

need only few parameters at start, and calculate best parameters each month, month after month, with always 12 months backtest...

weekly calculation could be good during week end too...

So the bot could maintain best parameters as possible if it seams working sometime and not always !

Include only more parameters later, because more parameters need more calculation time to optimize...

Hi,

Finally I had the chance to work on Yen Trader.
I managed to perform a major surgery operation on Yen Trader and converted it to Cross Trader.
Inputs were minimized. Removed inputs were set to best defaults and their functionality is still in the code.

Cross Trader is designed to work on any Major Cross pair (total of 21 pairs).
Once placed on a cross pair chart, it detects its component pairs including any prefix/suffix.

Most of the options that were planned for Yen Trader 6 were added to Cross Trader 6, which is the natural evolution of Yen Trader.
Soon I will post the EA along with few tests and more details.

Nicely done, man!

My first week trial on this came up a lot better than previous versions, in that it actually lasted the week.


Still room for improvements.

I've thrown together a few more ideas and into my Lost Sock logic (made available for public testing) and am going to run this side by for the week vs the previous version. I have a wussy out close enabled which was the source of the Draws last week...fortunately, the gains still bailed out the losers. The new version, will let it run without the wussy and see if it's comparable.

Look forward to seeing them perform along side yours.

Yes of course. Cross Trader is a continuation of Yen Trader. It offers all the features of Yen Trader plus additional features. The name change was necessary as the new expert can trade all crosses not only yen crosses. It does that in a simple and neat way where you don't have to care about pair names, prefixes and currency code position in each pair name.

Hi Abokwaik,

Allow me just to comment that from the battery of tests that result in post #517 (500% profit in 6 months with only 25% relative DD (1jan to 9jul 2016), the following settings were best at 0 or false:

Break even
Profit lock
Loop back bars
RSI
RVI
CCI
Close on opposite signal
Hedge on opposite signal


I hope it helps!

We're almost on the same page kilion,

Loop back bars = 2
RSI = false
RVI = false
CCI = false
Close on opposite signal = false
Hedge on opposite signal = false

Pip values were also removed in favor of ATR values.
Max Order input removed and set internally to 1 (per pair).

Indeed!

I agree about Maxorder too, increased lot size with just 1 order is the same as multiple small orders.

Just can't agree about "Loop back bars", please check below (1jan to 9jul 2016):

Set to 0:

The tests you posted are from v5_1, where any loop back bars number < 2 is not used.
The minimum is 2 because we are comparing the last close price (bar1) with at least bar2 price
setting it to 0 (or 1) means disabling it.

Anyway I brought it back to be able to disable it if one likes to use the MA only. (I will re-upload it in post # 535)

This is a Cross_Trader_06 back test from 1/1/2016 till today on GJ H1
