Thank you Sane FX. I loaded the EA and I am getting Authentication error. Looking for a valid authorization code . Does this happen to any one else?

San4x, thanks for the quick education. Look my thread about the FX Hacked v2.3 if you can do the job to plot efficient News filter? Don't worry, I will even pray for you in the church if you can do it.

Thanks Hermes for your kind words and thoughts.

 

I will have a look at Forex Hacked, although if I remember I dismissed it earlier.

I do not have much time at this moment to code. So can't make a promise at this time.

Hope you understand.

 

San.

Hello San! Would you have by any chance the FH 2.3 on mq4?

Thanks!

eurusd profit factor 30 and plus trades at 85 percent.enjoy!

 

THOUGH on a 20 k account the absolute drawdown is 12 k and relative drawdown of 74 percent.make your bets gentlemen!

gbpchf,one of the fine pairs at donna does not make it beyond 24th trade with no sl technique and ends with a 24k drawdwon resulting in 99.89 percent drawdown and a margin call.

usdchf backtest has trade 113 as the culprit if you use no sl.it clsoes for about 10 k minus leaving us sadly with a 2 k profit on a 20 k investment after a year or two of trading swiss franc.

 

shall we listen to donna??

 

 

Donna doesn't have a clue as always!

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...

I pretty confused here!

 

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.

Version 1.2 comes per standard with a SL 0f 100. After running a optimization I do get it down to 65 pips while TP 55... Still need to investigate further.

Focusing on 2009/2010 currently. Still running some checks and will post later.

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

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.

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.

Recommended settings from the developer below. You might try the various filter options in addition.

 

EurUsd Tp 20 SL 60

UsdChf TP 15 SL 95

EurGbp TP 55 SL 130

GbpUsd TP 30 SL 90

EurChf TP 25 SL 90

GbpChf TP 18 SL 100

UsdJpy TP 10 SL 130

EurJpy TP 70 SL 10 Yes 10 NB Minimal Risk of 1/10th of risk used for other

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.)

[tomislav]

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.

San4X uploaded this in post #73.

Nothing new here.

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?

[Alexandre]

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.
