DRT, Not enough words to thank you for the fascinating ideas you are exposing here. I hope I'm starting to grasp some of them... You repeatedly mention price's "settling" above/below some level. Could you please elaborate on the meaning of ...

The View DownRiver

Two strange positions (GBPUSD and EURUSD) were opened today by version 1.4. I wasn't near the monitor when it happened, but what I can see now is that at 08:42 Eastern time, when the price at both charts was 17 p. BELOW the slow MA's and the fast MA ...

The EA v. 1.3 is attached to a 1HR AUDUSD chart. MinCrossDistance is set at 3 points. The 5 MA came from above and spent about 4 hours between the slower MA lines (never going below). Then it moved up 1 point above the upper MA - and the EA opened a ...

The Pouria Method

I live in GMT+2 zone, so it was so nice to get up in the morning and find all these goodies in the sock! MinCrossDistance is a great thing. I find it especially useful in the end of the US and during the Asian sessions (GMT 18:00-06:00), when the ...

Sounds like a dream... Would it be possible to make TP a variable whose value can be defined by the user? Would make experimenting easier... Have a great day!

Weekdays and TP — When you backtest, note that different weekdays behave differently. Try to play with TP to adjust it for the weekday. For example, it seems that for eurusd, the best TP on Mondays is 80 pips from the MA lines; on Tue: 20; ...

In another thread, it has been claimed than an ECN can't use MT4. Regarding market-maker broker, I think that the most important thing for a beginning trader is to use micro-accounts (pip = $.10), which allows for optimal money management. I'm aware ...

Bandito's results made me curious. I did a quick manual backtest for Oct 2006 eurusd (it was a tough month...). The optimal TP at M30 timeframe would be 60 p. after crossing the MA's, while for M15 the optimal TP would be 20 p. Re. SL, I now firmly ...

GBPUSD optimization results — Somehow, this thread now seems to be the main outlet for the Pouria method, so I post here... I've spent the day manually backtesting the data for GBPUSD and then optimizing SLs and TPs usin a computer program. I ...

Actually, I'm not a statistician, I only teach statistics. I'm a psychologist specializing, among other things, in evaluation and assessment. That is why I only rely on past performance as a predictor of future performance, and that is why I spend ...

Indeed, this is of utmost importance. Kelly's formula provides you with the optimal percent of your capital you can risk on a single trade. To use the formula, you have to know the history of a trading system performance: what is the size of a win W ...

What are we called?

Thanks a lot, smjones. I'm looking specifically for an EA so that I won't have to babysit my orders. I'm still too bad a programmer to convert a script into an EA.
