⭐ fxknight Posted May 6, 2010 Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 Hello, This EA is called 4_6_GMT_Breakout and it runs on GBPUSD M15 with good performance stats. I've been told it is similar to the Cable Run and you can compare the signals from backtest and forward tests. Everything is included in the zip archive including backtest reports, manual (russian), and the best .set files. Please post your experience with it. http://www.4shared.com/file/DnJWq7oW/4_6_GMT_Breakout.html Cheers savasava, charrob, arthursyd and 23 others 26 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

⭐ fxknight Posted May 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 This is ripoff EA thesecret, Could you share this EA so we can run some backtests on it? Or if you have some backtests on it that you did could you post those? I get a hunch that this EA might be similar to the one posted with the possible exception that the one posted really performs well IMHO. A comparison would be great to see another possible breakout concept. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

⭐ fxknight Posted May 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 Chip4Pips, Great links. Thank you for shedding some light on the origin of the concept. I don't have version 2.2 (some people have requested it here) but I cant imagine being that much different than v 2.0. The concept more than likely stayed the same. Just a comment. Looking at the CableRun GBPUSD especially now that the concept is revealed one can see similar trades. Maybe not identical but both are breakout EAs for sure and look at the same time period to establish the breakout channel. If someone runs across v 2.2 pls post it. This is not a get rich in few days EA but it is a steady performer and making steady slow profit with extremely low risk. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chip4Pips Posted May 10, 2010 Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 I'm VERY interested to see what the skilled testers on this forum can come up with regarding good set files for the Breakout Pro version. It seems like a pretty flexible tool. There has also been some discussion on other boards about the 4-6 breakout time period not necessarily being the optimum breakout period for the GBPUSD, as well, so there is much to investigate with these EAs.

puzzlebird Posted May 10, 2010 Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 This strategy works well only for 2009 till now. backtest before 2009 is terrible Quote Target: 5% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
⭐ fxknight Posted May 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 This strategy works well only for 2009 till now. backtest before 2009 is terrible Very true. I am not sure if this is because the data since before 2009 the data is stored with very few ticks per bar by MT4 to save space. On the other hand the above posted EA (http://depositfiles.com/files/57odidm2y) does well from 2001 til now. However even though it is an almost identical concept looking at the code.. it does the breakout calculations trades at different times than the 4-6 GMT EA. It is rather difficult to tell which one will perform better live. The only way to find out is to try them both and see. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davoidd Posted May 13, 2010 Report Share Posted May 13, 2010 I've been running this on 5 pairs on m15 and hasn't done a trade, had a pending order on the EJ and then canceled it. Does anyone have Cable Run? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pipaholic Posted May 13, 2010 Report Share Posted May 13, 2010 I was testing it on GBPUSD and it does take trades, but the backtests were not great. Maybe I was using the wrong offset, but I tried it with several and it did ok, only about a 5% gain in 4 months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dinj Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 Has anyone got Cable Run from ProfitableFX? It's starting to look pretty good on forexpeacearmy. I've tested the 4_6gmt and breakout pro shared here but they are no way close to the original cable run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbt22 Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 Seems that 4-6 gmt breakout is better then Cable Run. See the backtest of Cable Run from profitablefx page and a backtest with 4-6 gmt breakout on forex-tests.com In both cases the profit is the same but the Maximal drawdown in case of Cable Run is 5 time bigger. In case of 4-6 gmt breakout DD is 10 and in case of Cable Run is 50 Backtests results are here: http://profitablefx.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=68&Itemid=67 http://www.forex-tests.com/Tests/4_6_breakout/4_6_breakout.html Chip4Pips 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
