Hi BeachBum, It does look good initially. But, I read that unless you use the Alpari historical data, you get very poor modeling quality, which skews the actual results. That's probably why my tests using just the crosses (without the BB median line ...

The Fozzy EA

By the way, the only crosses I saw tonight, using the bollinger bands median line as a filter (original Fozzy) were NZDUSD and AUDUSD.

I think it will be helpful if you're going to post that you have a signal to define which set of rules you are using. Some people are using the original Fozzy rules, others, like BeachBum, have modified the entry rules. It can get confusing for the ...

The Daily Fozzy Method

Hi All, Well, I've found that when I set the EA to make trades based on GMT (Use_00_GMT = true), the backtesting results are just not that good. There are a LOT of missed trades. Setting the value to false tends to have a few duplicate trades, as ...

I no longer have the ability to edit the first post. So, I am placing the updated Fozzy file right here. I'm calling this version 2.0 since I added a couple significant features - setting the SL using ATR and taking partial profits. Using the ATR ...

Brainjt, I really think that the best course of action is for you to familiarize yourself better with MetaTrader. My time is such that I can't walk you through the basic tasks needed to get an expert working. I've never heard of Velocity Trading, ...

The EA that you are trying to compile. It should be in your experts directory.

Please also attach your code.

Unfortunately, I can't seem to duplicate your problem. Which EA are you using? Could you post a screenshot of your inputs box as well as post your EA code so I can see further?

The Fozzy EA

First, what version of MetaTrader are you using? Second, where are you seeing the "0" at? In the code? Or, are you dragging the EA onto a chart and see it there? Try getting a fresh copy of the EA. But, first, check your MetaTrader version. Go to ...

I think the "whatever" refers to "whatever number you want to put in there", not the actual text "whatever". Try to put in 0.2 and see what that does.

Paul, Thanks. I'm actually working on a 2.0 with this same feature. I have it done and tested and will post shortly. It looks like you have the right idea here, though. I wasn't sure what the ATR multiplier is for. BeachBum references using a ...

The Fozzy EA

Using ATR, according to BeachBum's method significantly improves the backtest results of the system (see attached.) I updated the EA to provide an option for using ATR. User's can specify their own percentage of ATR, which is set to 70% by default. ...

Thanks. I don't have any of these as having valid new crosses. The closest ones are USDCAD (Friday confirm), and EURCHF (last week). The rest do not appear to be valid crosses, unless you are taking all crosses and ignoring the BB median line. Am I ...

Cisco, I'm not seeing all of these fresh crosses. Could you elaborate?

The Daily Fozzy Method

Sorry, I took a few days off. I took a look at your code over the weekend. I might see if I can pull it out, but, it also might be easier for me to use code I'm familiar with. In either case, I really appreciate the helpful contribution. Regards, ...

How'd you know? It WAS a conspiracy. The ISM people are easily bought by brokers who take OUR money in trades by stop hunting and all kinds of other stuff. They use that to pay off these data guys so that they can make even MORE money. Man, I'm on ...

ISM- Red Alert

I have the same rule. I have a pretty good database of trades for my system (which includes news plays) that goes back a long way. MOST of the time, a pre-announcement move is often a stopout mechanism and the news goes the other way. It isn't ...

ISM- Red Alert

I posted a new update to allow the method to be specified as a parameter (MA_Method). By default, it is now set to EMA.

The Fozzy EA

First, I made a change to the EA. I decided to add a variable to control whether you open based on last bar or based on GMT 00. The reason is that I think some people might want to test or try the EA on lower time periods. When I run results on tick ...
