iwjw Posted August 14, 2010 Report Share Posted August 14, 2010 if (Ask - Bid <= Max_Spread * PointValue() && !(GlobalVariableGet("Not_Sell_Day") == DayOfYear() || GlobalVariableGet("Not_Sell_Day") == DayOfYear() - 1)) { if (Ask - Bid <= Max_Spread * PointValue() && !(GlobalVariableGet("Not_Buy_Day") == DayOfYear() || GlobalVariableGet("Not_Buy_Day") == DayOfYear() - 1)) { what is "Not_Sell_Day" and "Not_Buy_Day" ??? is this EA optimized for back test data ??? As I have understood, the EA declares a day as "Not_Buy_Day" if an initial long position went the wrong way and the EA had to open a second or third position. In case the trades were closed that day or the day after (either profit or loss) the EA wouldn't open a new long position on that specific day and the day after because of "Not_Buy_Day" (same for "Not_Sell_Day") Never seen that before and it sounds logical t2g 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VladimirM Posted August 14, 2010 Report Share Posted August 14, 2010 0.30 lots for only 3000 of balance? thats too much!!! do you have any experience with martingales????? for 3000 of balance use only 0.05 lots... not more Want to lower the value, change the setting MarginRisk = 10. But the site is important to test even higher MarginRisk = 25 http://www.smart-scalper.c0m/smart_scalper_backtest/2010/4/StrategyTester.htm tomislav 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest phreak Posted August 14, 2010 Report Share Posted August 14, 2010 Stop loss is 150 and TP is 10... and this thing is called a scalper? There is nothing to discuss here - you will lose your money guaranteed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormin_Norman Posted August 14, 2010 Report Share Posted August 14, 2010 i had to leave the thing while i was sleeping it was that slow in testing. shows the same results as above: http://stashbox.org/976276/eurusd%20until%20fail.gif Quote "It is inconceivable that anyone will divulge a truly effective get-rich scheme for the price of a book."

halcyonn Posted August 14, 2010 Report Share Posted August 14, 2010 Stormin Sir,what you wrote in the post above about sleeping and the backtest being slow is what i wrote to a friend a while ago about smart scalper. the backtest ended in a blowup and is identical to yours. this one is in the trash can.

JasonKwok Posted August 15, 2010 Report Share Posted August 15, 2010 We tried to run the back test but the Journal reported error: TrendPower EURUSD,H1: invalid integer number as parameter 2 for SetIndexDrawBegin function. Is this caused by the indicator file TrendPower indicator file? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonKwok Posted August 17, 2010 Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 Forward testing on Alpari Demo but the trades done so far are totally different from their statement on MyFXBook. :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonKwok Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 The latest version does not seemed to be performing as great as the initial version 1.1. Does anyone has the initial 1.1 version to share? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krisware Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 I was under the impression that back-testing has little meaning? That only true demo/live forward testing is the true measure of performance? Since any testing is generally no way indicative of future performance. Shagin If backtests are good then EA is going to preform better Live, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krisware Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 definitively scalpers are not the way to a consistency profit a medium long term... If they have worked on 10 years of backtests including 2008,2009,2010 then they are quite ressession resistant. There is no 99% winner Strategy - even Neural Networks fail a lot if market makes big change. Forex is High Risk Market - if You are afraid to loose then plese find another investment method.

JasonKwok Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 If backtests are good then EA is going to preform better Live, too. Back test result must be the same as the back test result published by the vendor so that we know that we are getting the correct EA.

kimi99 Posted August 24, 2010 Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 Hi, any friend can help how to control the lot of this ea?is that the setting of min lot or max lot to control it? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonKwok Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 (edited) Hi, any friend can help how to control the lot of this ea?is that the setting of min lot or max lot to control it? thanks I have added the choice for MM. If MM is set to false, it will trade with the lots size specified in Lots. Hope this is what you are looking for. hxxp://[email protected]/file/xFSxkHbn/Smart_Scalper_113.html Edit: The 3x is still there, this come with the original EA. Under certain conditions, the EA will open 3x the lots. I would suggest leaving as it is as it is part of the EA's strategies. So, if you put 0.01 for Lots, occasionally there will be a trade with 0.03. I have also added the EA_Comment field in case you have several EAs trading on the same account and it would be easier to identify the trades on the MT4 Statement. ;-) Edited August 31, 2010 by JasonKwok VladimirM, hawkfx, mahdicivil81 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JasonKwok Posted September 1, 2010 Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 Looking at the codes, it does not work on broker with ecn order entry type. Go Market, FXCM, IamFX even the new IBFX platform are on ECN order entry type, where a buy or short order has to be opened before it can be modified with SL and TP. But in the code, it sent SL and TP in the same order for buy or sell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JasonKwok Posted September 1, 2010 Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 Dun have to modify the code, all you can do is to select Hide SL in the parameters. Then it should work on ECN platform. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
