expat1967 Posted September 17, 2010 Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 (edited) Hi I have just started on 1.2 and it does not look that bad to me after some runs in the tester. 5 pairs seems to have a go 2009/2010: eu, gu, ec, ej, uc On most of them selecting no trading on friday results in in PF of 2 or even 3+ and best risk reward is 2/3... Need to check it out further... Cheers PS: You can optimize Hippo using the "Control Points", that should speed it up... Then check your findings on every tick...

In my understanding, the EA does not use a stoploss. So there is no actual risk to reward ratio set-up here. Not sure if you really underastand what risk to reward really means.

expat1967 Posted September 17, 2010 Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 (edited) Here we go... Below are my starting points for my forward test to get rolling. Guessing it can be further trimmed as well. Some pairs really got a go with tighter settings others needs to be spread... Tests 2010 (Control Points)/Risk 10%, not all pairs goes prior with these settings: http://www.multiupload.com/EAIWXZHTE0 http://img695.imageshack.us/img695/1968/eurchfhippo.gif http://img245.imageshack.us/img245/633/eurjpyhippo.gif http://img828.imageshack.us/img828/7370/eurusdhippo.gif http://img827.imageshack.us/img827/2567/gpbusdhippo.gif http://img137.imageshack.us/img137/7089/usdchfhippo.gif Cheers Edited September 17, 2010 by expat1967 BobR, yoske, halcyonn and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
expat1967 Posted September 22, 2010 Report Share Posted September 22, 2010 here is 1.2 hxxp://www.megaupload.com/?d=KLA5BTLM s.o. has to educate it. It's a little tricky because orders are send inside the dll file and accountnumber and authorization code are handed over to the dll. Yeap, seems having an issue on demo account: error 102. Checked the log and all have been started, initialized and authorized. Certainly, I have EAs enabled... Appreciating, if you can re-check the education. http://img829.imageshack.us/img829/1903/hippok.jpg Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobR Posted September 22, 2010 Report Share Posted September 22, 2010 (edited) Yeap, seems having an issue on demo account: error 102. I noticed this too. IsTradeAllowed() is the only test that's performed. The MT4 manual says, "Returns TRUE if the expert is allowed to trade and a thread for trading is not occupied, otherwise returns FALSE." We know that the expert is allowed to trade so there must not be an available trading thread. The error seems to occur when Hippo wants to open a lot of trades at the same time. I'm thinking something is too busy in MT4 for the trade to go through and so, we get this Error 102. Anyway, the problem appears to be external to the EA. Did a little more research. IsTradeAllowed() is the opposite of IsTradeContextBusy(). ITA() returns TRUE if the trade context is NOT busy. ITCB() returns TRUE if it is. So it's MT4's single trade context thread that's busy and not allowing that iteration of the EA to continue. All's well after a tick or two. ITA() could be better placed in the EA. Right now, it is at the beginning of the Start() function. The manual says it is better placed just before the OrderSend() function. Much ado about nothing really. This "error" can be ignored. Maybe IsExpertEnabled() should have been used instead. Edited September 23, 2010 by BobR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobR Posted September 23, 2010 Report Share Posted September 23, 2010 Recommended settings from the developer below. I'd consider them initial guidelines. I've already found instances that were a tad off. An EU trade would have been profitable if the SL had been 70 instead of 60. A GC trade would have been profitable if UseMACloseFilter hadn't been turned on. And an EJ trade would have been profitable if SL had been greater than 10. (I'm really thinking that's a misprint, so I set it to 100.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomislav Posted September 26, 2010 Report Share Posted September 26, 2010 (edited) I've been forward testing this EA and I've even e-mailed Donna Forex about different results. Each broker has different characteristics in their feed so you'll get different results with Hippo from broker to broker. It's a good EA but you have to ascertain which pairs will yield the best results with your broker and whether you need to try reverse trade or change TP. GBPUSD works good in reverse trade and Donna's gotten quite a few consistent losers on her demo account with GBPUSD in normal trade direction. Hey, they've at least given you the option.

Alexandre Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 After a few months testing this EA. I think it's a good one that needs to be improved. In most cases, orders are very profitables. Sometimes, orders are misplaced and can wipe your account. In most cases, those misplaced orders are counter-trend. Moreover, orders are place at rounded hours (xx:00). I don't think that it is always the best moment to place orders. I think that this EA needs to be improved. Maybe with camarilla indicator! Is there anyone interreting by such improvement? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexandre Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 I added a "security". After 24h, the TP of each order is moved to entry point, and then each day, the TP is lowered by 5 pips. Thus, after 5 days, the TP is move to a 20 pips loss. For the moment, according to my tests, the results are pretty good. i need more weeks testing.
