Only 30 pips on Dragon. I saw a pattern and I'm testing that. May implode.

So far - go good.

{quote} Thanks for sharing. My forward test on H1 , although running on 20 pairs, made only 3 trades in a week (specially since it's runnig part time) which makes it inappropriate to evaluate in a reasonable period, so I am gonna switch to lower time frame next week in order to have more trades.
hi mate, in the EA, all the parameters are in the unit of Point, is it true?
for example, max spread = 100, which is 10 pips, right?
Thanks

Depends on your broker, if it's 5-digits, you enter it in points. If it's 4-digit broker, you enter it in pips.
Mine is 5-digits, so my shared settings are in points.
100 point = 10 pips.

thanks mate - understood now.

Btw, if you now backtest the past week, are you able to reproduce your trades in your TE?

Here at my side, it seems very hard to reproduce the same trades.

Okay so after some testing on multiple pairs, I must say that this EA is very pair dependent and it is highly unlikely that one setting or even range will work across multiple pairs. Of course, this is typical, hence the labor in trying to trade multiple pairs profitably. Thus, I am going to focus on trying to just trade one pair for now, although I do think there is serious potential to trade fx off of indexes with this technique, even scalping. One day at a time...

I also noticed that the best performing pair was GBPJPY, although ATR settings are generic.
On the other hand, I found reversal option works good on ranging pairs, specially when used with low profit settings.

Let't go back to the basics.

We buy EURGBP when EURUSD is up and GBPUSD is down.
This is situation is rare and does not last long, as both pairs (EU and GU) are positively correlated.
UNLESS we catch the start of EURGBP swing up. But how to do that ?

We know EG is affected by EU & GU but at a certain time which pair affects it more ?

This is the EG H1 chart of this Thursday:

Apparently GU had more effect on EG on this day.

This is another perspective of the above charts using SMA3 and 8.
While SMA3 > SMA8 on both EU and GU we don't trade.
Once SMA3 crosses down SMA8 on GU while still above SMA8 on EU and EG we open Long.
We close when either SMA3 crosses down on EU, or UP on GU.

My back test was on 2015 while yours is on 2016, and as I said earlier, It is too good to be true.

I have been busy and let optimizer run to play around with EJ. I know some of these ATR settings don't make sense because they will not trigger, but one can work off decent settings from this (there are many settings that produce similar results).
