ok guys.. just put the latest Beast on a small handful of pairs on demo.. Firstly it opened up buys of 0.2, 0.2 and 0.4 lots of eurjpy all at the same price... Then, when i cancelled the 0.4 and 0.2 trades.. it opened up a sell also.. even though ...

You are probably right - but aggressive seems fine in back testing - In terms of profitability and drawdown, i'd put our options in the following order 1) Normal and Agressive - excellent pf and relatively low DD 2) normal only - not bad 3) normal & ...

Steve - a quickie.. if Gpse and normal and aggressive are all on, will a the beast open a trades at all three levels ex a trade at gpse and magenta... OR, for example, if it opens at a gpse trade it will not trade at the green or magenta lines?

Shall stick it on demo this week and next and see how it does - will keep my eyes peeled.. Lets hope we are in a position to stick it on a dime account by the first couple of weeks of 2011.

Hi Steve I did not intend on winding you up. I have been reading your posts - apologies either way. I was just highlighting the difference in profit/drawdown between the 2 versions. Yes you have worked your socks off this week.. hats off to you - ...

Hired.. your statment shows a maximal drawdown of 12.. but your open positions show it to be 1000ish at present... i'm confused!

it was the last LEB. Use aggressive/normal and switch gspe off... dont use hedging. Also.. i had both gold line things off. Play about with the buffer to reduce drawdown. My only issue with LEB is the fact that it multiple trades in groups of 3/4.. ...

Ok guys Straight to the point here. I a using the same setfile for the two EAs i have backtested- LEB and TNB. from 2008 onwards. I dont know what the main difference is between the two. But as you can see, LEB is FAR more profitable. it had a ...

by the way.. my version of LEB is without hedging.. i have found it profitable.

Is LEB no longer being discussed on this thread now?

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

Can someone confirm if LEB is the same as the The New beast? The inputs are the same, but LEB seems far pretty in a back test.

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

i love the LEB verson. It still has a few bugs - multiple trades etc. But on a back test and over the past few days, drawdown overall is 50% less. Whatever you do with the New Beast, plese dont forget about the LEB!!!

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

i still prefer the LEB version. With the new beast, on a back test, drawdown is well high and there are a few crashes over the past couple of years. Could be the bugs but at this stage i'll stay with LEB.

Yes. But I do think that dzlyexia is a real condition and is nothing to be laughed at.

Steve you absolute F*&^ing legend. Quick question - i just ran a backtest and Gspe ON and OFF produce the same results. COuld this be a limitation of backtesting or is this an issue wih the code?

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

I did not think there would be quite so many issues - i was under the impression you simply copied and pasted the code into a new EA and made adjustments that way. Looks like there is EVEN more to coding than i thought! I'll be running this on demo ...

Have a look at the attached image - i ran a visual backtest. I'm i looking at this right or have I lost my marbles. Look at the sells and buys - they dont appear to be respecting the rules???? I know the lilac/gold lines move as new support and ...

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

just did anther back test - reloaded it too.. it only trades about 8 trades and wont go any further - a bug perhaps? Anyone else finding the same issue?

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

Based on a quick back test - i am going to agree with you here, old pal. I have backtested it from 2007 onwards (without hedging as one of my brokers is US based) and results are fantabulous - however drawdown is still pretty high. I envisage myself ...

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

i have just backtested the LEB - seems good BUT there *might* be a slight issue with recovery - for example, i am trading 0.2 lots on my backtest... when recovery kicks in, ALL my recovery trades are 0.2 lots - instead of 0.2, 0.2, 0.6 etc if I were ...
