what do You think about the auto ADR feature with dynamic tp and gridsize here. I read almost all Your (impressive) posts on the mathtrader thread. So I'm very interested in Your thoughts...
{quote} Add this into your EA to calculate ADRs on the fly, for 1day/5days and 25 days. The resulting values are in pips int _digits=(int)MarketInfo(Symbol(),MODE_DIGITS); double _pip2double=MarketInfo(Symbol(),MODE_POINT)*MathPow(10,_digits%2); int i_ADR_D1=int((iHigh(Symbol(),PERIOD_D1,1)-iLow(Symbol(),PERIOD_D1,1))/_pip2double); int i_ADR_W1=int((iMA(Symbol(),PERIOD_D1,5,0,MODE_SMA,PRICE_HIGH,1)-iMA(Symbol(),PERIOD_D1,5,0,MODE_SMA,PRICE_LOW,1))/_pip2double); int i_ADR_M1=int((iMA(Symbol(),PERIOD_D1,25,0,MODE_SMA,PRICE_HIGH,1)-iMA(Symbol(),PERIOD_D1,25,0,MODE_SMA,PRICE_LOW,1))/_pip2double);...

genius, I was looking to add adr, simple using MA. thanks!
Can you please edit the EntryLogic: MA crossover only allow for one trade per cross? Because after I get TP-ed or SL-ed, the EA will automatically reenter again. Appreciate your hard-work
Only one DD of 2000 Euro in a 5000 Euro account by testing from Jan. 2016 to Nov. 2016 with 1500 Trades. The approximated probability of a DD is less than 0.1%! However, I would like to know how this system works in detail.
First, can you tell more about the parameters? They are not all self explaining.
Second, as far as I know is martingale a strategy where you will never win, as long as your expected pay off is negativ. In Roulette, martingale, will not work in the long run. Betting on red gives you twice your deposit. Your chance of winning red is slightly below 50%. 0.5*2 = 1. Your chance is below 50%, so you will get less than 1 euro for every 1 euro you bet. Can you explain, how this system will still win with martingale, since the best prediction of a price is 50% with a custim indicator like BB or MA crossing. Yes I tested that out. And any combination of TP / SL or periods, timeframes, pairs on BB will always give you 50% hit rate. Or rather, the hit rate is a formula of TP / SL, whose expected payoff is 0 minus your fees.
I would so much like to know, how martingale can work profitable. But Again, you have done great work! :-)
Third, from what I saw, there are overnight positions. So did you consider the swaps? Also, I can't find any option for the spread. Did I overlook that or is your calculation based on Bid and Ask prices by only considering the spread that can be changed in the backtester interface?

Hey,
i need some advice regarding MA Cross. Would it be best to only react on very new Crosses? SO only create a EntrySignal if a cross happened in the previous candle?
Hi,
4 pips TP on EURUSD H1 from Jan 2016 to 31st Okt. 2016 with a Tickstory (fix) spread of 1.2 pips and a max. loss of 2000 with a 5000 euro account and 0.1 Lots volume. Everything else is default. I would like to discuss the logic of this EA with you in detail. I also have some ideas, that could help to avoid huge DD.
@ghostbiker
Bid and Ask matter. In my EA I normally use a function for a TP / SL in long position according to "opening price - spread" where spread is an external variable.
The Ask price in MT4 is calculated based on the Bid prices input where Ask = Bid + Spread (Spread as an external value not variable that can be chosen in the backtester interface). A long position will always be closed at the bid price and short at ask price. My question simply is if this is accounted for? It is a difference whether you implement Bid and Ask prices, or Spread respectively or if you don't.
New Martingale EA (logic like Mathtrader EA)
