{quote} Wow. That idea stinks. HARD! So...beings how we are only actually partially using the Stochs, in that we have both a main and signal line and are only employing one, I have decided to throw divergence into the mix and use the Long Stochs Main and Signal lines. WOoooooo... Give this version a run. Test M1 chart - Set time delay = 120 and keep the MTF filter at 15. Be a lot different and something that may be a lot more viable for a long runner. {file}
Thanks for nice EA.
Great one!!

My result seems sell trade only...

There are not buy trade.

If you've left the settings at default and are trading on an M1 chart, divergence is being measured on an M15 chart. On an M15 chart with the default Stoch settings, there is a lot of range before the EA will start to look for both longs and shorts.

Want to see more trades and action?

Change the Filter_Period to 1 for an M1 chart or 5 for an M5 chart.

Doing this, could see massive loads on your account, so before you add this to a real money account, please make sure you test it against the pairs you are using on a Demo Account. It's easy to create a new one if the DD gets out of hand...not so much so when you have your own skin in the game.

1. You are running a 15 minute delay on an M1 chart - Time Delay = 900.
2. Your indicator settings don't match with the settings on the EA. There's no way for me to see if these trades meet with the logic, without having the chart set up to match the indicators.
3. You are still using the original version, try the newest version.

Hi folks:

I am using the 1st EA that Magic posted (Samer.ex4). I started yesterday and so far it is hanging in there.
Right now there is one sell trade that is at a loss, but since that trade the EA has managed to take several profitable trades.
So, even if I were to close all trades at this moment and take the bigger loss the account equity is till in profit since I started to use the EA yesterday.

The best procedure would be not to have the EA until after 1hr of an important announcement. Right now that sell trade is the one difference between the account being up 15$ vs $6. This is not bad at all. I will take that kinda of situation any time cause profit is profit. For now I am going to allow the EA to continue trading
Lets see how much more profit it gains. I know the difference will still be there but there will also be more profit under the equity side.

I'll keep you guys posted....
Jess

Keep the same 2 indicators on your chart.
Set the Histogram version to the same settings as you have for the Slow_Stochs in the EA and set the line version to the same settings as you have for the Fast_Stochs.

This will give you an idea of what the EA is looking at.

This same template can be used for all versions, just make sure that the EA settings are the same and you should be good to go.

Hey Jess,

Nice looking stats for a maiden voyage, is this a live account or are you just in demo mode?

The idea itself definitely seems to be worthy of further development, the only issue is that I really don't have live data from any forward testing on it or any of the other 2 version I've posted and 4 additional that I've been kind of playing around with.

Because of the simplicity of the system, there is a lot that can be tinkered with and in that, I bet I've tested about 30 ideas before narrowing down my fav's to 3(ish).

At current, I've got a lot on the go so won't be that active with the EA or thread, but will keep an eye for anybody posting forward test results and linking to a version. From there I can probably work on throwing a few more lines of code at it and seeing where we can take this.

Good luck into close of week, my friend.

Will look forward to seeing anything you have to add.

Magix:
Will do. No worries here. If you like I can provide u with the functions and all u need to do is include them into the source EA and use them. That way it will be much faster for you to update it. Whatever is ok, I understand, currently I am working on 3 projects myself. What I will probably do is create another EA to control this EA. But if u can do the favor,,,, LOL nevermind, I am just being lazy since u have the code in hand LOL .

Yea I bet you thought of many facets. Just keep the simple ones intact.. that will go very far.

BTW, I like what the Samer EA is doing.. it took more buy trades with profit and the equity went UP. There is still a difference for the loss but that too went down. So if I have to I will close it all and STILL be in profit. I will do this before the close of Friday. Lets see if more profit can be collected by then.

Take care
Jess

Update on Samer.exe progress.

11Hrs have passed since last I reported on the EA status. The Samer EA is doing it's job. Despite having one sell trade in a considerable loss (from -70 pips to -90 pips) I can still close all the trades and be in profit. The reason for that one loser is cause I allowed the EA to take a trade right before the FOMC announcement. So next time I will turn off the EA 1HR before any important announcement and then reactive it 1-2hrs after the announcement.

Ok, last time I was looking at a Balance of $515 with equity at $506. Now after 11hrs balance is at $517 and equity is at $509.
I started the demo yesterday with $500. So the gain if I close all trades now would be about 1.8%.

This is good so far. My setup right now is the minimal side (fixed small lot). Next week I will start using larger lots or a percentage of the margin to push it to the limits. Plus I will have a full week. Nice.

Ok... so started today's trading about 1/2 hour before Asian open. Duration was 5 1/2 hours. Same pairs... EA, GU, UCad. No JPY pairs during the Asian. Am manual trading as per the original rules in post #15 but have alerts set up for crossing the 0, 20, 80 levels so don't have to be sitting at the computer.

Today's pip count was 94.6.

So for the week it was: 82.2 + 61.1 + 95.5 + 51.4 + 94.6 = 387.8 pips total.

Will keep forward testing with a demo account to see how it goes or until it blows up. Will keep posting.

I believe the original method as laid out in the first post is the opposite of the what Magix EA is doing. If Magix could code a simple EA for the original method that would be cool.

errrrrr.............

You say you will not trust any EAs, look at your own creation....

This is a damn good one!

After small modifications and put it on right sessions, it can make enormous pips in real trading.

Great thanks to you and Mag, i appologize that i said sth wrong about you before...

Hi Magix,

Thanks for your great work!

There is a way to increase profitablity, would like to give it a try?

On page 2 some one said that the trend was the killer of this strategy...

So....can we trade in both ways? I mean like this...

Attached Image (click to enlarge)
Click to Enlarge Name: Screenshot1.png Size: 95 KB


For No one can predict the market, whatever filters we put on, we can not always stay in the right direction. Thus trade in both ways separately maybe a good option.

Three options on my mind:

1 Double-blade trading, buy sell at the same time and work separately (just like that in the picture)

2 One way trading (current version)

3 Show Hand trading...lol, Gambling BUY: BUY with large SL and TP, SELL not affected.....Gambling SELL: vise versa ( especially good for NFP/bid rate days)

The original version I posted - SAMER, isn't really the opposite, but more so attempts to try and keep in trend.

Version - GO_SAMER_V2 - posted HERE (http://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?p=9051160#post9051160), will probably match up fairly closely to what you have been doing, which, by the way is AWESOME!

It uses Divergence vs just triggering inside of the signal range on the Slow Stochs.

A couple of simple modifications to work similar to your trading on the M1 charts...

Set the time filter to 1.
Set the same Stochs periods as you are using.

From there, drop it into a test account and set it for the same pairs you trade, enable it for the same trading sessions you work in and see how it compares.

Ok thanks... tried the first and second one and they both took an opposite order to what I wanted.

Will give gosamer v2 a try with the settings you recommended and see how close it comes. Are these the corrects setting?

Yeah... you know how it is... way to early to tell if it will work or not... yesterday had a 275 pip drawdown and that is why the trading was 4.5 hours instead of a couple. The thinking is to trade non-jpy pairs during the Asian that don't really have an agenda and will just meander around. Will see how it does going forward.

Thanks to you and Samer for your ideas and help.

Edit: Ok... it just put on an order in the right direction except that I wait for the the bar to close and the overbought/sold line to be pointing down/up.

Just had a second order and the os line was point up so that was bang on.

Just had a third order on the third chart and it put an order in before the ob line pointed down so that one was too early... but maybe that's a non-issue and will maybe even work out better in the end.

I used my same stochastic triggering from my falling knives and lost sock logic.
An easy copy n paste...that's why it only took 5 minutes to throw this bitch together.


Let me know how it works out, this can always be changed with 1 line of code and a couple of tweaks.

Only issue...I will most probably be gone for the next week or so.

Again, keep posting.
Even if I don't reply, can always check in.
