{quote} OK. let me continue what i was saying about my intention of proposing the auto optimization ,in the god's will , when we have gone through learning of how to use tester output as feedback to the real working Ea , then i was going to talk about further improving it, with adding a pinch of single layer Neural network codes retrieving its inputs, prepared by feedbacks ,coming through this system, if you are still interested, i will continue ,otherwise, i believe i already have wasted the precious time of you and others enough.
I read the article I shared in post 1230. Apparently I will need to perform few experiments before I can judge the suggested approach.

Forex for me is a side-activity, as I have a full time job as Chief Information Officer at a large group in Saudi Arabia.
So my time is extremely limited.
With that in mind, you are welcome to share your ideas, so please continue.

self-optimizing EAs are difficult to implement live. It is something I have looked at for a long while after reading some work on this forum many years ago. It can be done but it may be best to run optimizations outside of MT4 and then have MT4 use the results (I am still working on this). The larger issue is whether or not optimization is even worthwhile, as most systems don't walk forward well.

Hi Abokwaik, first of all can I say thank you for all your incredible work the last two years and for sharing it so selflesssly!

As you look back and reflect on your last 2 years work on here could you let me and your readers know what you think are the 3 best/profitable EA's you've made on here so far. Your top three if you will.

Thank you in advance and looking forward to hearing your response :-)

Hi Abokwaik,

I have followed your threads and appreciate all of your great contributions.

I have been manually trading with simple price action and a 12 EMA similar to your Big Candle EA. Also use S/R and currency strength. I usually trade the 1 hour, GBP pairs. Rules for entry is if candle moves 5-7 pips in direction of 12 EMA, I take the trade. I use tight stops (13-15 pips) and look to close 1/2 trade at TP 1:1 and let the rest ride for greater R:R.

Is there any way to adjust the Big Candle EA ATR to trigger a trade after 5-7 pip move on the current candle? I have found that there is profit to be made within the big candle rather than triggering a trade after it has already moved 30,40, 50 pips! Any thoughts would be appreciated. Cheers!

Hi Khalil, hope you're well mate :-)

Please could I ask a favour- I think it will help Wigglesworth also with what he is saying above

Could you make an incredibly simple EA with the following:

Candle size (in pips) you can change that triggers (when the candle is a certain size in pips) a trade in the SAME direction of the candle so a buy trade for a green candle and a sell trade for a red candle

SL option

TP option

Lot size option

I know it would only take you a minute and it would help me massively

Reubs :-)

Trust me Reubs...it's never that simple. You can download free (or for very small fee) EA's to do exactly what you are requesting. Or learn how to do it yourself within a week or two using MT4. What these guys do is creative and innovative in new ways to make money. They make the complicated (for people like us) seem simple/easy. But I bet many of those guys (coders) tossed those ideas aside and exceeded them while they were still in their mothers womb. LOL. Be patient friend...He will answer u on his own accord.

Set to 1 if you want same lot size Min_Pips_Between_Orders = 20 : (multiple by 10 for 5-digit brokers.) I found this parameter necessary to avoid open multiple orders at the same or very near prices. To disable set to 0 Max_Open_Orders = 10 : Max number of orders opened at the same time...
thank you abokwaik...
very good this EA, just wait the account to be positive.

Thanks. I am happy that you found it useful.

Please note that you are using the 1st version. (latest version is 7).
The EA was continued in a separate thread managed by my friend Rooi outside the robots lab HA_Rider (A Robots Lab EA).
Original idea was shared by another friend TyLamai.
The EA was meant initially to trade the daily time frame on multiple pairs.

Many FF members contributed to the EA so thanks to them all.
I ceased further development on the EA after its thread was moved to Commercial Forums for no clear reason.

Apparently, the EA will do good in trending conditions, and bad in ranging conditions.

When the EA is based on an indicator that works,
to launch the order each signal or distance
It has everything to work.

thanks again....

What is the setting for the EA not close orders?
seeing in the picture, when the market this side it works by a hedge,
when the market decide up or down
It starts to get positive.

Hello abokwaik,

I trade simple strategy that if an EA can be created it will be a lot more profitable.
The way I trade this strategy is after volatile events I enter in one direction and TP 2 pips, if trade goes against me for 2 pips I hedge the trade with double the volume and if the price goes 3 more pips in the same direction I exit with profit, but if the price retracts again after the second trade for 2 pips and comes at the same level with the first trade I hedge the second trade with double the volume and if the price continues for 3 more pips I exit with profit.

It would be great if these parameters can be changed: StartLotQty, TakeProfit, OrderMultiplier and GridSizePips

Thanks in advance

Hello abokwaik
First of all , let me express my sincerest gratitude to you for starting this useful and generous thread.I have been following this amazing thread for a while and I must admit that your contributions are great.I love to trade price action because PA doesnt lag.Have been trading PA(Inside Bars , Pin Bars , Engulfing bars and Fakeys) for a while now and results have been quite good.I would like to share one of my PA strategies that I learnt from prominent price action trader Nial Fuller.Its called the Fakey trading.I am a huge fan of robot trading.One of the largest issues that a trader may face in manual trading is his tendency to be undisciplined in performing tasks as planned. With autotrading, you will be guaranteed that the robot will be totally disciplined and will follow the program according to your plan. Usually, it is the ability to follow the set-up that makes the difference between a lucrative forex trader and a failed forex trader, so thats a good point for autotrading.

Now back to the Fakey system.
A fakey pattern in the market means that a false-breakout of an inside bar pattern has occurred. In other words, a fakey is when price initially breaks one way from an inside bar pattern but then price snaps back the other direction, creating a false break of the inside bar structure.

To clarify all of this lets look at some examples:
In the example below, we see a classic bearish and bullish fakey signal. Note that first there is an inside bar, followed by a false-breakout of that inside bar pattern which results in the fakey pattern forming

How to trade a fakey signal
A fakey signal can be traded in just about any market condition except in a choppy market, which we don’t want to trade no matter what. But, a fakey can be used in a trending market or in a range bound market or even against a trend if it’s at a key support or resistance level.
The fakey provides us with a high-probability entry point as well as an obvious stop loss placement, let’s look at some examples to clarify…
In the chart example below, we can see that the market was clearly trending higher before a period of consolidation / range-bound movement and then a fakey buy signal formed at the trading range support. Your stop loss would most logically be placed just below the lowest point of the two-bar false-break. This fakey formed at what I would call a confluent chart level because we had multiple supporting factors for the trade; in this case the support level and the uptrend:

Lets look at another example of a fakey signal, but this time its one that formed at the upper boundary / key resistance of a trading range. Note, the false-break on this fakey was not quite a pin bar because the real body of the candle was not small enough relative to the tail, but it was a bearish tailed reversal bar.Notice how price not only reversed to the downside after this fakey, but it actually kicked off a new downtrend…
