Starting Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 Re: STEROID- Expert Advisor Hi, the GMT reading is incorrect?? I am using fxpro and the GMT should be +3. But the EA display shows GMT+0? I have done a backtest for this EA using fxpro data and it was good. But when I do the backtest again, the results are different, Can someone fixed a GMT user input inside instead of using the excel file? rgds For changing GMT go to its settings (click F7 in Metatrader) and set Use Auto Time Settings to "false" and set your GMT zone accordingly. Try to play with it until success. As I said, its results are spread dependant. When you push "Start" button in Metatrader Tester it automatically uses current spread value (can check it in symbol properties in tester). Thus everytime you getting different results. Sometimes you even get nothing because current spread is more than allowed in EA setting "Max spread value". It needs low spread with its Takeprofit 3 pips, good luck with it.

ryujin Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 Re: STEROID- Expert Advisor Hi, Thanks for the help. I have managed to get the correct time zone for fxpro and display in English. But I think the max spread value is not working?? I have set the max spread to only 3 , but the EA still place orders? Something wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
APopovA Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 Re: STEROID- Expert Advisor I tested it on TadAWoolf on EURGBP. The spread is 3,but it is a looser during this summer on 6. The rest is even worse. When i was vining what I meant is that even Fap performs better, Stomper, Intellectual etc. all are better for much less code. But if you like it guys, it is up to you...

Starting Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 Re: STEROID- Expert Advisor Yes, is's definetely not Holy Grail. But have some work done so we even can use some of its features for our other indis modernization. This is good. As for EA itself, currently I'm monitoring its performance and what I'm particularly against is how it tries to smooth balance curve, when it enters a market, with predefines stoploss inside (I believe something close to 40 pips or so), then it doesn't tolerate the drawdown, so when price moved against our trade and started to continue back, somewhere on half way to our enter price it closes the position with loss, considering it's better small loss then bigger drawdown and BE or win thereafter. And in majority of cases price reaches our targeted profit of 3 pips thereafter, while we already have our position closed by EA with loss. So I consider this against my trading logic and would like to change it in EA behaviour. If there are any kind coding guru who is interested in improving this EA performance, can you please make EA mod with the following: "Under no circumstances close the trade in loss unless our stoploss (external or internal) is hit". Btw, 3 pips spread is not cool. I was taking about 2-2.2 points spread. This is what required to win on EURGBP currently. Only ECN brokers and some STP with low institutional spread can give you such trade conditions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kit Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 Re: STEROID- Expert Advisor "I believe something close to 40 pips or so" On EURCHF s.l = 120 pips ;) Sure, present experts logic work fine. What reason to make that kind of improvement ? On back-forward tests EA show nice profit, and DD not increase 20% level (mean last 8 month with 27% trading size). p.s. Starting, check your mail, I send pm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starting, check your mail, I send pm. I prefer to discuss things where their discussion was started. PMed you. Forward test performance showing its losing money even with low spread. Statement analysis and charts suggests it kills trades until they got filled with profit. I don't agree with EA doing that, simply because statistically price breaks the channel extremely rarely on more than 120 pips. So I agree to have 120 SL hit when vast majority of the trades will be closed with 3-4 pips profit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryujin Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 Re: STEROID- Expert Advisor Hi guys, Is this EA only designed for EURGBP and EURCHF? I cannot do backtest on other pairs even when I set the max spread=0? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JUINERTY2 Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 Re: STEROID- Expert Advisor I also have good results in live with EURCHF. It's interesting because this EA doesn't trade only by night. The problem is that the EA set some GlobalVariables in relation with account max equity, and that it change it's behavior if a Drawdown occurs. My problem is that this Drawdown can come from another Ea that run on the same account. I think it's possible to avoid this with the parameter "BalanceControlMode" but without manual it's not easy to understand. I will try to investigate the code, if someone already understood this piece of code or BalanceControlMode options please share. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be workable for you with Google Translator. http://www.4shared.com/file/132838796/89277a32/readme_v3052_rus.html Indeed if you use other EAs on same account you better disable these options, which manipulate its lotsize after "drawdown" or "losses".

Mate, If you set UseBalanceControl to "false", it will trade without considering drawdowns made by it or other EAs working on account. It's all in manual to ver 3052, take your time to read it carefully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
