Now come back at the end of the month and publish the results again (without changing the settings).

Even blindfolded picking buy/sell for all pairs can work for a couple of days but due time...
These systems always seem to work until.....they don't.

It has turned in a continuation not a reversal so we are off with the same trades.

{quote} Perfect example of trading with what i call open ended systems. If you had either the right ranges set (soft) with close or you would have used a trailing stop you could have banked both moves.
As James told timing is very important. But nobody worked in that area. Today I will able to say something about this topic if market swings. We will see...

Why everyone is searching for that thousands of pips and not taking more an approach for scalping using a risk reward of 1:1 or 2:1, if the entry's are good you get you're take profit and wait for the next trend opportunity. I see more a race who can get bigger number of pips , not who can add more profit in balance and stable results day by day.

The war is not wined by a single battle, is not like today I grab all or nothing.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

And i think it is a really big mistake to build and rely on timing critical systems because that usually also means that they are very market sensitive.

Or not. I only know using common strategies we run are a street without exit. Maybe new approaches fails too but better try something different that crash every time with same wall.

About sensitive problem it's impossible get perfect timing but you can get good average. Really exit problem don't exits. The problem are entries. Filtered entries add enough delay for don't let enough room to exits for reacts. Then you need move that entries a bit little for make bigger the space between entry/exit

We have a different point of view.

In my view entries are not the problem.
Toss a coin and depending on head/tail enter a trade (any pair) buy or sell and you start with a 50/50 chance to win.
Now you can look back before you take the trade in order to get somewhat more favorable odds (like putting some weight on one side of the coin),
but you can never predict the future and the greater the volatility becomes the more uncertain the feature becomes.
So i never found it really difficult to get in, getting out at the right time always has been the bottleneck.

On our main system we have three entry models (long, medium and short) but more than fifteen exit models.

The only thing wrong with this picture is that although the entries are good but there is (was) no exit.

(without changing the settings) !!!
That's the point of every dashboard. They don't adapt to the market change. Sure, I'm noob but I've already understood that market conditions move all the time depending of the mood of the big guys.
Those dashboard have around 300 (more or less or depending of numbers of pins) different parameters and they should have be written in the stone!! Hum...doesn't sounds strange to anyone?

It's why there is no proper set that pass a month or even a week. I didn't see anyone post saying : "This settings are the good one". May be I missed something.
The set have to change depending of the market condition.

@aeseme : Congratulations for this fantastic tools and congratulation to all contributors.
Can you consider different setup under specific condition?
Let's take an example, I don't want the same parameter for Monday, Friday or during the Asian session.
I can achieve this using different templates. Easiest way I found to change all indicator set. Attached a script that could be called from ea to change a template dynamically.

But we immediately we recognize the limitation of this approach as well. It's why you put the snapshot option (clever one), to see what was the market numbers for ADR, CDR, PSO, BQR, GAP, PINS,etc just before this pair or this one start a up/down rally.

So one day, monitoring the snapshot, we found that GBP's pair start a rally when GBP heat map reach the top. Good. But another day, GBP went up when USD pairs fall down without any good explanation regarding the GBP or USD heat map. That's start to be tricky.

How to ?
There's many solutions to move in that direction. I'm not programmer and noob trader as well. So first, I let you decide if you (and other opinions as well) find this approach useful.

Step 1 : Instead of snapshot, xls (csv) file to catch all the number every 5 minutes (or what ever frequency). An "Append" csv function should be the best instead of many CSV files. This to avoid reconciliation of all files. One CSV per pair. See CSV example attached (GBPJPY 02 Dec 2016.CSV)

. This one is for deciding what will be the conditions.

Step 2 : Let's decide the user when he/she wants to change the EA set up depending on conditions. I don't know how to do that programmatically. Here's a CSV try based on key keywords. "EA Conditions.CSV"

I have nothing to complain over the past week and DWMRanges1.03 only that it was a shame that the exit was not defined properly on the first two days so that profit slipped away. In total it just traded a bit over 1 lot and around 20 trades a day.
And most important i had a fun week.

It looks like that at least the compounding feature could be filtered by magic number, as well as the add feature of the one based on APR. What's your thoughts on this?
I am afraid i do not understand what you are saying here....???
The "add to trade" feature seems to be giving signal no matter the magic number of the current orders, so ie, having open trades with different magic number of the one being used by the (DWM/APR)ranges EAX instance, will produce signal to add where there's no currently open trades for that magic number.

I haven't noticed yet if the "exit trades" feature is being affected by the same behavior, but I remember to read in the experts log that it seems to parse all open orders in the account, and IMO it would be better to only parse those of the magic number being used in the test... or perhaps I am missing something?

Understood.

I am funny like that.
If i test a trade setup i load it on it's own terminal and Dashboard.
Also i will never run two different systems on the same account so it doesn't bother me.

But i will add it in the next release.

Edit.
It probably would be needed anyway since this "indicator" needs to get involved into trading more and more.
It already does SL/TP/Trail and now it also checks if all trades of a pair are in profit before adding a new one. (Ragusa style).

I have ghost closes. My EAX setup is with all features disabled. I only can have exit if pin 6 have opposite signal. But I had this close. Evidently this close is wrong
