beorn Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 Hi guys, I'm having trouble with the settings of this EA. Using default settings it trades very large lots, around 2 lots in a 5k account, nothing like the forward tests I've seen published. I tried changing the settings but I can't seem to make it work right... What am I doing wrong? Thanks, b. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beorn Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 You don't how to be usin' EAs now?. Set Auto MM to 0 (zero) <):) That's not really the issue here. Take this backtest for example: http://www.myfxbook.com/strategies/dogbot/16000 Using a 5k account and default settings (same as I'm using) he gets lot sizes starting at 0.25. I get 2.5. My contract is standard 100.000 and leverage is 1:200. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikram88 Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 Hey Redline Looking at your forward tests Notice that you have a lot of addittional pairs though u mention only EUR/USD Anyway trying to backtest which is extremely slow Is it posissible to combine the two indicators and the robot to one robot This should speed up the back test and see which are the good pairs to trade along optimal settings Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I done ma back-testin' with a 5K account with default Money Management on 5.0 (default). It be openin' 0.25 lot trades durin' the back-test. Workin' fine here <):) Edited May 22, 2012 by callahan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beorn Posted May 22, 2012 Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 fixed lot =.2 5.0 =mm the rest is default Thanks, I started a new demo account using only this EA and it's working fine now with default settings. I was using other EAs in the same account, don't know if that was what was messing it up. b. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beorn Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 One question, is it possible to make the EA work with an account where the contract size is 10.000 (as opposed to the standard 100.000) and still keep MM on? For example, I have a $100 account with contract size of 10.000 (this emulates a $1000 account with contract size of 100.000). I wish to keep MM on and see the lot size increase accordingly, as it would on a $1000 account. Is this possible? What does the Lots parameter do (not fixed lot)? Thanks, b.

Infomattik Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 yes it closes when trend changes Hey Redline, great work once again. I haven't noticed any trades closing when trends change. I have Retrace Exit to false, are you using it set to "true"? I know you're still testing, but if you shared your settings that would be awesome. It appears you're using 125 SL and 25 TP, with no trailing stop. Any info is appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pro Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 Watching the trade entries on 15M TF and they are most of the time not realy good. Would be fine to know more about the entry conditions to be able to adjust them... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks good man. Just to clarify, when you say nothing changed I assume you checked SL and TP to "true" correct? Because by default they are set to FALSE.
