Backtest for January on EURJPY 4H.

Re: [sHARE] EA_ForexCashDetective by cacus

ShaKerZ, Yes, it's done with v0.2. The set is detailed in the .html file.

The strategy Forex Cash Detective opens 2 orders to make profit on different targets. But, with my addons like Trailingstop, most of the times target 2 never get hit. If you want to play with the original strategy then you have to set Trailingstop to 0 and DynamicTrailingstop to false.

Any suggestions or ideas to make it better are welcome.

Regards.

Re: [sHARE] EA_ForexCashDetective by cacus

ryujin, i'm gonna take a look at the code for 5 digits support. Please be patient.

As for just 1 order placed... Yes, that IS a bug i guess. Please DON'T use this EA Live, it's just a concept yet!.

Here is my backtest for EURUSD 4H on January, the set used is detailed on the .html file.

Re: [sHARE] EA_ForexCashDetective by cacus

Here's version 0.2, with DynamicTrailingstop addon and a bit more polished code...

Enjoy.

Re: [sHARE] EA_ForexCashDetective by cacus

Lord_Sauron, putting the sl of the second trade on the first target is equal to close both trades on first target...

Unless you gave some pipsteps, let's say... if the first target is hit and current price actions is +15 pips above that first target then move the SL of second trade to the first target... But, sincerely, this could help in some cases but in others can make you ear less.

Let's try to keep the strategy the more as it is. Anyway, I'm finishing some interesting addon: DynamicTrailingstop.

It's calculated with ATR and trails depending on the pips values of ATR. Let's see if it helps or not, maybe some pairs do, some others don't.

I'll keep you posted.

Re: [sHARE] EA_ForexCashDetective by cacus

robotfx2, this thread is for the EA, not for the indicators, those are already in another thread... thanks anyway.

Ok, revised version, with HsDelay to control the EA to place one order over another...

Any suggestion, just let me know.

Re: forex cash detective

Lord_Sauron, take a look at the thread [sHARE] EA_ForexCashDetective by cacus.

I've posted a revised version with the HsDelay variable to adjust time between trades.

Any other suggestion i'm all ears.

Regards.

I repost it here since this one is an EA, and the "forex cash detective" thread is about an indicator.

I've finished a preliminary concept of the Cash Detective EA.

I mean "preliminary concept" because it's pretty ugly right now (there can be a lot of errors since I re utilized a previous code I had from another EA of mine).

But, it's primary objective is to test the strategy so we can find the better entry and exit setups.

Put it on whatever pair and chart TF you like, i'm starting a test under EURUSD H4 to see how it performs. There's an Addon for the original strategy: TrailingStop, to avoid those times when the price action gets close to the target but don't touch it. I'm using TrailingStop=50 on my test (it's pretty slow to backtest).

Copy dj~.mq4, sj~.mq4 and mj~.mq4 into Indicators folder. (these are modified versions of the originals, these are needed by the EA!).

Copy EA_ForexCashDetective_cacus.mq4 into Experts folder.

Run StrategyTester and start to make suggestions for addons and i'll put my hands on it.

Enjoy.

Re: Forex Humanoid

Hi there, for those who may need this (for lite accounts) I've modified the lot calculation of the original Humanoid EA so this now fits 0.01 micro lots if you want it. Anyway, i don't recommend this EA for the long run, it's most a matter of luck than a good logic behind it (due primarily to it's large stoploss).

Enjoy.

Re: forex cash detective

Hi guys, I have modified the dj ex4 file to make an alert when a signal confirmation is set.

Anyway, as i can see in the code, the signal is given at the Open price of current bar, so, maybe the signal is given pretty far from the price that the signal alert shows as entry price. Anyway, it seems to be a pretty interesting system. I'm gonna try to make an EA for this to see if it's profitable in the long run.

I'll keep you posted.

Installation: just put dj_cacus_alert.mq4 on the Experts/Indicators folder of your MT4 platform directory and when you load the Forex Cash Detective template replace dj indicator with this one.

Enjoy.

Re: Forex Humanoid

0-10 i'm on FXDD live

Re: Forex Humanoid

chankl, I use default set except:

UseHourTrade = True

Risk = 5

MaxTrades = 2

Regards.

Re: Forex Humanoid

Remember that in FPA they are using default settings: 40% of risk is crazy.

I'm using this EA live and haven't got that problem yet.

I think the case of FPA must be a margin call...

Re: Open source FX Trading

Maybe checking the bars from last trade and adding a time limit between orders...

I've made that for and EA of mine some time ago to limit it trading after a loss, so the EA waits X days far from last lost.

You can search in history for the last closed trade with your MagicNumber and if OrderCloseTime()+(offset time between orders you like) > TimeCurrent() then it's able to enter another order. else, wait.

To check last trade time i suggest this:

double CheckLastOrderTime(){

if (OrdersHistoryTotal()>0){

OrderSelect(OrdersHistoryTotal()-1,SELECT_BY_POS,MODE_HISTORY);

if (OrderMagicNumber()==MagicNumber){return(OrderCloseTime());}

}else {return(-1);}

}

If this function returns -1 then that means that the EA is able to trade, also, it's able to trade if CheckLastOrderTime()+(delayBetweenOrders)>TimeCurrent(). Else, don't trade.

EDIT: delayBetweenOrders should be the numbers of seconds you would like the EA to wait, you can multiply this by 3600 to use hours and so on...

Hope i can give you some help on it.

I'm out of time but if you don't get it i'll try later.

Regards.

Re: EA Sand-Theory 4.9

I started a forward test 15/07/2009.

Starting lots 0.1. Maxlots 1. Maxtrades 6.

Multiplier 2.

So far 5k account grew up to 7500.

But, a week ago it had to handle a -50% open loss. Scary offcourse.

But if you trade this EA on quite hours and control it while news are coming i think this could be a really good one.

Re: MD Unplugged

Hi there man, great to see someone else working on this pretty code.

Look, i've been looking at this a bit, and found some other possible gmtoffset where MD works awesome too, on FXDD from may so far with gmtoffset=9 it's almost perfect on EU 15m. Due to saving hour changes, back from may it works better with gmtoffset=8. You'll notice that something similar happens with year 2008, take a look and use your tester to get the correct timings for your broker.

I'm working on some other pairs too, changing indicators TFs to see if this make some changes.

I'll let you know if i get somewhere else.

Regards.

Re: EA Sand-Theory 4.9

It's a kind of tuneable martingale EA... i'm gonna make some test on quite hours to see how this performs...

It's obviously a high risk system, but maybe with some control over it this can make some money

Re: Money from Forex?

wow, i think this requieres some training before you can make money from it.

And of course, you are always taking risk of losing it all
