  1. It's a doddle to fix...

     

    get the original from the post above... (if you don't trust my work)

    just removed the silly dll dependency, and childs play attempt at security...

     

     

    BIG BUT!!!!!!

    * seen in M5 ea's only

    (

    and only noted because it was right at the top...

    and only noted because it is HIGHLY suspicious!!!

    )

    gda_600[11] = D'29.03.2010 15:00';

    gda_596[11] = D'25.10.2010 16:00';

    gda_600[10] = D'28.03.2009 15:00';

    gda_596[10] = D'24.10.2009 16:00';

    gda_600[9] = D'29.03.2008 15:00';

    gda_596[9] = D'25.10.2008 16:00';

    gda_600[8] = D'24.03.2007 15:00';

    gda_596[8] = D'27.10.2007 16:00';

    gda_600[7] = D'25.03.2006 11:00';

    gda_596[7] = D'28.10.2006 16:00';

    gda_600[6] = D'26.03.2005 11:00';

    gda_596[6] = D'29.10.2005 16:00';

    gda_600[5] = D'27.03.2004 11:00';

    gda_596[5] = D'30.10.2004 16:00';

    gda_600[4] = D'29.03.2003 11:00';

    gda_596[4] = D'25.10.2003 16:00';

    gda_600[3] = D'30.03.2002 11:00';

    gda_596[3] = D'26.10.2002 16:00';

    gda_600[2] = D'24.03.2001 11:00';

    gda_596[2] = D'27.10.2001 16:00';

     

    This is not a good sign...

    Haven't read past this to see what happens with it later on in the code.. but this is a sure sign of CHEATING!!!

    The way i see it, if I see smoke.. there must be a fire somewhere...

     

    NBNBNB!!! Foets Toets => "buyer" beware

    ==============================

     

    Note: NOT TESTED....

    PM me if you have any hassles...

    ...

     

     

  2. please post the indicators...

     

    and btw:

    it already has sl / tp

    but some of it is hidden...

     

    you need to add the word "extern" before the lines that start with == below

    i.e.

    extern bool...

    extern int ...

     

    hit F5, and check the settings again.

    don't have the settings open when you are making the changes....

     

    look for this: ---------------- TP SL TS BE

     

    extern string TSTB="---------------- TP SL TS BE";

    == bool RealSL_Enabled=false;

    == int RealSL=5; //stop loss under 15 pîps

    == bool RealTP_Enabled=false;

    == int RealTP=10; //take profit under 10 pîps

    extern int SL=0; //stop loss

    extern bool UseFractalsSL=true;

    extern int TP=0; //take profit

    extern int TS=0; //trailing stop

    extern bool UseFractalsTS=true;

    == int TS_Step=1; //trailing step

    extern int BE=0; //breakeven

     

    i.e. after, it should look like this:

    extern string TSTB="---------------- TP SL TS BE";

    extern bool RealSL_Enabled=false;

    extern int RealSL=5; //stop loss under 15 pîps

    extern bool RealTP_Enabled=false;

    extern int RealTP=10; //take profit under 10 pîps

    extern int SL=0; //stop loss

    extern bool UseFractalsSL=true;

    extern int TP=0; //take profit

    extern int TS=0; //trailing stop

    extern bool UseFractalsTS=true;

    extern int TS_Step=1; //trailing step

    extern int BE=0; //breakeven

     

    give it a bash... let me know how you get on...

  3. price action.... price action.... price action....

     

    The market goes where it wants, you just have to work out how to get in tune with it... and go with it...

     

    don't waste '000s on useless ea junk...

     

    also, don't waste too much time with indicators.. Some are handy, but all they do is give you something to blame when you lose money...

    Most lag, most repaint (some a LOT worse than others i.e. look stunning in the past, but live they suck... do a control points visual backtest to check...)

     

    and simple, with a healthy dose of patience, is better...

     

    The basics are:

    1) Money Management - THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT... keep yourself in the game.. don't bet the farm on one trade that you are "just sure will work out in your favour" - it's all fun and games until someone looses an eye...

    2) Trendlines - look out for breakouts or reversals, and once confirmed, go where the market is showing you it is headed (never EVER second guess the market)

    3) Support and Resistannce - learn to identify it... helps you know where to set targets, (or/when) to tighten stops, add to positions etc

    4) Chart Patterns and Candlestick patterns - we're human after all, this is where the emotional side of the market plays itself out

     

    I usually start on the monthly, draw relevant Support Resistance and Trend lines, move to weekly, repeat, daily, repeat, hourly, repeat etc.... With the lines drawn, you will at least have some insight as to WHERE and WHEN prices are likely to reverse or break out..

     

    All of the above points work on ANY timeframe too... choose a timeframe to suit your lifestyle....

     

    You don't need to be a news hound.. but be aware of news releases for that day, and think how they will affect the market...

     

    the fundamentals drive the market overall.. but the price plays itself out in the bars....

  4. I have good coding skills, my maths leaves a little to be desired, but I'm willing to give it a shot...

     

    If you plan to make it free, it would probably be better sharing the idea in the forum openly, as many more people would read it, a few more may comment... it's easier than having to go through the schlep of pm'ing you... Also, you are excluding mathematicians that are not programmers... narrowing down your chances of success...

     

    don't be embarrassed about anything you post either, (and remember that there are loads of trolls out there just waiting for an opportunity to drag anything they can down... so just take those posts with a pinch of salt, and don't dignify them with a response...)

     

    personally, (from banging my head coding eas for 10 years) I don't think you can get to "never lose" ea... no trader ANYWHERE wins all the time.. not wilder, not buffet, not ANYBODY...

     

    the best you should aim for is low risk, or "has low drawdown"... i.e. able to take a hit and recover from it quickly, or the hit is only small, but the profit high... so that mathematically, it wins (big) in the long run...

     

    consider this:

    a 10% growth per month in your account for 4 years 2 months, starting with 10,000 gets you 1,067,189.57

    starting with 1000 it only takes 7 years

     

    slowly slowly catchy monkey... the stock market is not a get rich quickly overnight scheme...

     

    I'll pm you...

  5. the numbers are just not adding up...

    Looking at a move of 5pips or more in under a second, with profit 10, stop 10 (not including spread), and taking the breakout in the direction of the movement (no trend filters), you only win about 50% of the time....

    also, quite often, there is a big down spike before a big up spike, or a big up before a down...

    at 10 pip profit, 30 pip stop, you are winning about 68% of the trades 3:1 (10 trades: make 70pips loses 90pips)

     

     

    using it on higher timeframe is just the same as using it on a tick timeframe... as you are asking for a number of pips in a short space of time, which will happen regardless of the timeframe...

     

    are you looking for something at the micro timeframe as your question suggests, or over a longer timeframe? (this affects how it is coded, and how much lag any filter adds)

     

    also, as I have read countless numbers of times... from a lot of people that a lot of other people respect... what's your exit strategy.... It's all good getting in, but getting out is where you win or lose...

  6. Hey sidecona, big big BIIIG Thanks that you want to do it!....

    Mmh... not really thought about pips per second... Thats why i want it be manuall editable in the settings so

    i could figure out the best...

    MMh any other filters...

    MMhh...

    It should work on 4digits and 5 digits brokers.. isue fxdd at the moment and this is a 5 digit broker...

    Mabye to the max orders, something like minimal time between executions possible?

    Thats it for the first...

    Maybe i will ask for some later...

    You could also tell me if somethign is not possible...

    I really want to thank you for helping me with this...!!!

    Will update you when i test it forward then!

     

    Another Problem i thought abou right now is that we could only allow positions in one direction if one order was opened...

    Because if a bar droppes very very fast and then gets a pushback the EA should open orders against the initial direction....

    Something like that should be in it...

    I know i want a lot...

    Hopefully you could do something of that...

    THANKS!

     

     

    I have been eyeballing it, and looking at 1 second data from beginning 2012...

    Unless you are going for really small profit, or have a really large stop (or none at all), it doesn't look that promising, but I have only looked at a small timeframe that wasn't in UK/USA market hours, so I may be way off the mark...

     

    In the 4 hour chart period I looked at, there were about 5 signals (signal = moving more than 5 pips in 1 second)

    you would have come out about break even depending on stop / profit (profit was max about 10 pips < about 8 pips or so.... don't forget the spread>)

     

     

    To stop the WhipSaw (shooting down, then reversing - which price seems to do a lot... no matter whether rising or falling), we should probably consider some kind of directional filter (MA for instance) and only trade if above / below that....

     

    Am doing queries in a MySql database using TrueRange to determine amount of pips moved, then eyeballing those entries...

    Am going to figure out how to do some queries to check profitability before putting too much effort into it... (databases are my thing....)

     

    watch this space...

  7. thank you dear tradefx , just Grid , not martingle or hedge , please explain more , thank you again . for example if market go trend what happen for martingle positions ?

     

    if market go trend against your trades... your account goes BOOM!

     

    Grid Trader means, every X(Grid Size) pips, open another trade (generally against the trend, waiting for a retracement)

    You need at least a 50% retracement to cover your losses..

     

    Sometimes Grids also open a trade in the direction of the trend (if your broker allows), so it still "looks" like it makes money, but actually, checking open trades would show you the draw down, and margin call...

  8. i have a base ea that does most of this (just need to add the opening logic)

    Open / Close

    TP / SL

    BE + pips to protect

    Trailing

    MM

    Max Num Orders

     

    will add the x pips per second to this, and you will have to forward test it....

    backtesting on this kind of strategy will not give you results you can trust due to the way testing happens (unless you can test it on tick data!)

     

    What are your thoughts on how many pips to move?

    Do you want any other filters?

     

    ==

     

    sorry, got busy tonight.. will do it over the weekend, and get the appropriate data for testing...

  9. erm.. did I forget... is that not why I am here?

    you know what strategy is being used? pray tell dear friend? got something better?

     

    I noticed the large lots, hence why I want to play around with it at realistic values...

    Still an impressive equity curve (though I'm sure that's on demo.. which also makes me sceptic... again, the reason I am here....)

    Never said I believed it either, and certainly don't want to waste $137 on it..

     

    thanks for your most insightful input... have a lovely day!

  10. What it comes down to is being able to quantify the rules into system of binary logic. There will be lots of calculations, but every part must come down to a true/false scenario at some point in the calculation. That is where it is sometimes nearly impossible to quantify a system. Some parts will require layers upon layers of binary logic to arrive at a simple conclusion that a human can do by glancing at the chart.

     

     

    writing the code is the easy part... trying to translate thought into x=y+z is a bit more difficult....

     

    thought contains all the bias of the past as it relates to the current situation... computers have "no memory"...

    it's easier for the brain to recognise patterns than computers...

    in thought you analyse every past scenario, and try do draw similarities as they relate to the current situation.... try telling a computer to do that...

     

    have you ever tried saying directly what you are thinking? try it some time.... there's a filter between your brain and your lips...

    you'll find it impossible to do, as thoughts occur all at once, while logic is a step by step thing...

    you can't talk quick enough to get all the thoughts out... and by the time you come to saying something you were thinking about 2 minutes ago, your perception may have been changed by other thoughts....

     

    only once we can map the brain directly to code, will we be able to do it...

     

    my 0.02p

    neural networks are just a more complex way of rolling a dice...

     

    the markets are not random, just highly chaotic, with too many inputs to be able to reliably determine any specific outcome for any sustainable length of time (hence why <most> ea's fail within a year of being released... they worked at that time under those market conditions... but not now...)
