  1. Sorry, I didn't explain why I need these buffers in there. This indi create 5 lines on chart (Entry1, Entry2, TP1, TP2 and SL). I need to pickup this data with iCustom from EA, and only way to do that is through buffers. If there is some other way how I can get data from indi I would really like to know. Thank you for your efforts!
  2. I would really appreciate if somebody can help me to add buffers properly to G0iler indi. I tried to add my self, but I receive EMPTY_VALUE and I don't know where is the problem.

     

    Here are both files (original and with added buffers):

    Thank you!

  3. Can someone change the code on the AMAJ and the JURX indicators to make them color change? Up=Blue, Down=Red. Thanks.

    You have there 3c_JurX, its 3-color indi (up, down, straight) and its based on JurX.

     

    I just couldn't figure why there are 6 different buffers (2 for up_trend, 2 for down_trend and 2 straight_trend). I would really appreciate help here if anyone use these indi's and know what I'm talking about.

  4. Thank you! I'm still not sure how I will do that, but I decided to do something by my self and eventually I will make something out of this :)

     

    Are you maybe willing to share some part of code from indi and EA, so I can see how you connect those?

     

    edit: no need for example. I found solution which is little bit different (without global variables), but what is important - it works! :) Thanks again for a hint!

  5. Thanks Dave, but there is a bit better solution which use indicator and you won't need to load script every time you close MT.

    This demo is new version of this indi and its much better.

     

    I have a range bar script and a pdf which guides you on how to set things up. You might want to take a look.

  6. My original 4shared links should be working again. I'm working on other stuff now but just as before I'm open to try new ideas on this strategy as long as its not "add another filter" :)

    Problem is that very few is willing to participate. It looks like everybody is waiting for final version.

     

    I was clueless what to do next to make this EA better so I didn't wanted to hold on askalas. EA is great, but it still misses final touch. There is nothing to stop the EA to put new trades and go into account death with range market... I would like to be wrong about this, but only good setup won't solve the problem here.

     

    Btw. E2U's setup is much better than what I came up with, even though its small change but its crucial.

  7. Its range bar chart. There is a lot of similar things on forum already. One that I found stands out because it works as indi (not as a script) and you don't need to repeat chart opening process every time you close the terminal.

     

    First you need to know how to get 'offline' chart:

    1) set timeframe to M1

    2) drag the indicator into your chart

    3) check the "Allow dll import" box

    4) set the tick range

    5) go to "file" -> "open offline"

    6) select "symbol,M2" (example - EURUSD,M2)

    7) opened graph is a tick range bar chart

    8) don't close M1 chart

    If there is someone who knows what is the setup of tr@dingfx chart macd and ema/sma, it will be great.

  8. I was testing combo and first idea, but none of them worked safe enough with any setting I tried. I also tested dozen indi's which I thought we could use to better filter out sideways... I couldn't decide which one will be good because each one should be tested with rest of the code, otherwise we can only guess. I can't ask anyone to do this further only by a guess, so I call this (from my self at least) a draw... Thank you askalas for your help.
  9. It is especially interesting to see difference from original version. It is by no means a finished EA but by identifying where it fails in comparison to original version we might be able to make a merged version that uses both strategies depending on market conditions.

    Without indi's it can't survive for a long time. I used CCI and momentum, I also had to limit trading time from 6am - 18pm (GMT). I was trying to find combination which will lower number of open positions to no more than 4. Result is not that bad. First tests were done in one month period.

    Best result was: 1 position open/close - 48%, 2 positions - 16%, 3 positions - 19%, 4 positions - 12%, 5 positions - 4%, 6 positions - 0%, 7 positions - 1%. Profit with this setup was also encouraging - 31%.

    I will continue to test this setup through whole 2010. I'm concerned how we will control EA so it can not have more than 4-5 positions open. Is it possible to have dynamic BE? Or to have at least one more option for BE so we can lower it down if we get in bad position. In this setup, BE is activated after 4th open position. But when 5th position is open, we need to make some 'soft' wall there, so we won't break our teeth :).

     

    To make these percentages better, we will need better trend/ranging indi. Maybe Schaff (I didn't try it so far, but I read its good), maybe to just add simple H-high and H-low for previous 10 candles and volume condition?

     

    I would really like to hear some suggestion since I'm not sure which indi is best to use in order to detect trend or sideways.

     

    Test and setup is here:

  10. Basic concept is now looking great! This is it!

    About reverse option I mentioned, I meant to revert condition which puts initial buy-sell orders (take a look attached image). Orders are not placed if indicators doesn't send trigger and 'overall filter status' is filtering. You will notice that initial buy-sell orders are placed mostly on ranging time, and its filtered out on volatile time. So I thought that we could just reverse how its filtered out and to get good result?

    What you added (ReverseInitalOrders) will be also useful while we testing it, don't remove it.

  11. Thanks for your quick turnaround. Order open works good. Profits are doubled with every new position open. Maybe we should keep it to ProfitAllOrder value (I don't know how now its calculated)?

    One idea more... is it possible to just reverse what triggers in EA to place initial buy-sell orders?

     

    Great start!

     

    edit: I figured what is happening with profits. ProfitAllOrder is multiplied also. E.g. when there is only one open order, and its closed, distance from open to close is ProfitAllOrder value. When two orders are open, distance between second open and closed position is tripled. Profits should stay to original value set with ProfitAllOrder, no matter how many orders are open.

  12. I'm testing IR 1.4p (modified v1.4o with added NFP and ADP filters) from 23.11. Managed to make 54% profit, even that EA was not active from 26.11.- 02.12. and 24.12.-11.01. (I forgot to turn it on again :) ). I had no more than 10 open positions (only once, but that was in first few days when set was not completely optimized).

    Here you have set and modified v1.4o:

    But, even thought this is quite 'safe', I don't think that IR is still safe enough because no matter which setup you have, there is always a chance to blow your account as it is almost happened to haynese1975. I would rather invite you to read this thread:

    http://indo-investasi.com/showthread.php/11454-IndoRun-exit-solution

    I'm not 100% sure that this can be right solution, but at least we can try and exchange opinions and maybe we can make something good out of that.

  13. Hi thanks for your feedback.

    IR only adds a same-size order if price goes against the basket. This is why it can take fairly large movements in the wrong direction.

    Fairly large movement is right word. With large movements, account will be blown away. Of course, it depends on your MM, but if you have 16 (default) price offset, and your MM allows approximately 25 open positions (movement of 400 pips), where you could be quite safe... but, when you can expect (or rather guess) that market will retrace to have your BE after 250-300 pips movement (which is quite usual according to statistics)? That is completely unacceptable position because you have no control over it at all.

    In your example above, the next order would be 1.2 lots and bringing your total lots to 2.2 lots (even though exposure is no more than 0.8 lots)? Thats 22 times the first order only after 4 orders :) In comparison, IR only gets you total lots and exposure of 0.4 lots after 4 orders in a basket. And after 5 orders... Your example above is probably a context where IR is best suited, ie a ranging market.

    Even after 4th position open (and 2.2 lots in total), you can control profit/loss and you can use BE or fixed stop loss if goes in 'wrong' direction. With 22 open positions is same direction, you can only start to pray (usually it doesn't help on FX). There shouldn't be 5th position in this strategy. Everything must be solved with 4th position open. BE, or fixed stoploss. Something like that. I would rather take 10% loss than margin call.

    I don't mean to be all negative, it obviously don't suffer from the same problem as IR. I just don't see it as a fix to IR but as a different strategy. One that can probably be quite good if adding some market condition filters. Maybe I'll do an EA for this as "proof of concept" next week.

    Thanks!

    I agree with you it will be quite different strategy. IR is set for ranging market and with this addon it will be more prepared for volatile movements and it should avoid ranging time (like assian session).

     

    Session and news filters are must for this kind of strategy. That is why I just wanted to add this to IR. If you know how to add this, and with proper optimization, we can make this happen.
