Hi Steve... just want to check something. I can see the code for chaserl's idea and Max's settings in the MQL file for the EA (and I can choose which to apply by typing true or false) but its not apparent in the external settings. Is this the way it ...

Sixths trading - an EA by macman, Bob and Steve mk 2

I have always maintained that trend trading on beastie was a loser - i could see that through back testing! Its a real shame.. but the manual method clearly works.. nanningbob is smashing it up on his thread.. where do you think we are going wrong ...

nice results. what settings are these? i take it you are manually closing trades? i cannot see this EA being the set n forget type.

Beastie: a Nanningbob trend and counter-trend auto-trader by Steve Hopwood

I;ve not had bad results to be honest. I;ve been using beastie but not using it as a set and forget bot - been taking profit a.s.a.p - even at 10 pips if i feel the momentum is dying out. I have avoided the trend trades. DOnt give up steve. We are ...

Beastie: a Nanningbob trend and counter-trend auto-trader by Steve Hopwood

I've had something similar. I have all my 'close trades at' options to false - as I prefer to take profit manually - I look at a number of different factors before I take profit etc. However, my Beastie took profit at the gold line (if it had ...

Beastie: a Nanningbob trend and counter-trend auto-trader by Steve Hopwood

I think its a good idea too. To be honest, the less trend trades the better as the CT trades are outperforming the trend trades anyway. If the probability of the trend trades is lower but their success rate is higher - BRING IT ON!!! I find it quite ...

Taz.. are you using default settings?

Beastie: a Nanningbob trend and counter-trend auto-trader by Steve Hopwood

can anyone verify if the trend trading aspect of this EA is producing more winners than losers? On my demo test, my losers are more than my winners. The counter trend system works like a charm. Anyone else confirm this? Taz: what settings do you ...

Dont laugh Steve. Jean Cleude Trichet may have had a bit too much to drink. It can happen to anyone...

Yeah.. i just sit here, ready to pounce. Nightstalker is what most women call me... in court anyway.

I agree old pal.

Beastie: a Nanningbob trend and counter-trend auto-trader by Steve Hopwood

Yes.. i read that before when i was skimming through.. but i thought it was aimed at weekend back testers. Either way, the most reliable way of testing is forward testing. I will read the previous posts again and see.

Beastie: a Nanningbob trend and counter-trend auto-trader by Steve Hopwood

Hi guys. I am hoping someone can correct me. Basically I have run a back test on the strategy - i put trend trading trades as 0.4 lots and countertrend at 0.5. I had a look at the results of the pairs. Many, many of the trend trading trades were ...

Nice curve whip... but the DD is pretty high...

Beastie: a Nanningbob trend and counter-trend auto-trader by Steve Hopwood

I have not had a chance to apply the bot yet (only started reading the manual today and did a few back tests). Now, by looking at the trades of the back test, looks as though the FIFO thing could be an issue. Eg; There might be a buy on the trend ...

Beastie: a Nanningbob trend and counter-trend auto-trader by Steve Hopwood

i would just like to say for those people who have US brokers this particular EA may not be for you. Both of the systems incorporated within the EA are awesome, but together they are not FIFO compliant. You may need to trade one or the other at any ...

Beastie: a Nanningbob trend and counter-trend auto-trader by Steve Hopwood

I think Steve is a step or two ahead of you buddy! I THINK the version he is working on as we speak, is one that looks at the overall trend and should place trades related to that. Lets see...

Sixths trading - an EA by macman, Bob and Steve mk 2

Hi buddy - 'people' may run backtests blindly - but i ALWAYS run them in visual mode. If you look at some of my posts in the past, you will see how I have commented on how some trades were taken whilst others were not. Some trades were closed out ...

Hey steve.. i just ran another back test with your latest update and default settings. Something is not right....even when i play around with the inputs. I get the similar errors as shown my message a posts above (with the 3 'x's). What if we ...
