Another research direction would be to code the optimization directly into the EA... Finding the best settings for the indicator over the past XX period, that would give us the swing signals that repaint the less overall. I think this should not be ...

SuperSignalDist2 is the distance ("period") to look for highest or lowest prices. A swing ("strong buy/sell") is signalled as soon as a bar shows a retrace compared to the past dist2 bars extremes. What SuperSignal does actually is very simple: it ...

we all have the same issue here: finding the correct settings for RsiTF, RsiPeriod, SuperSignalShift and SuperSignalDist2. Backtesting and optimizer show that these settings are definitely dynamic, no do-it-all set is possible. And they will also be ...

better RSI trend detection filter ? — while playing around with the #MTF_RSI looking for better settings on the RSI filter for the SS bot (which lead me to RSI(H1,period=2) as the best so far), i found some interesting new (at least for me) ...

Come-on Steve... I learned so much by studying your EAs, and this is how i got here! I should be the one rewarding you! Can i vouch for my voucher ???? (yes! it seems i could do it! ) Sq

"untradable" means that the RSI is sort-of "retracing", so the EA will not trade in this condition. If it says "up" or "down" only, then it should enter trade as soon as it gets a "strong signal" from the SuperSignal, but it will wait for it to ...

New SS EA with BE and JumpingStop — Hi all, here is a new version of the SS bot. I reorganized the inputs so that most important inputs come first. I added BE and jumpingStop stuff, with the contribution from peejaywk also (thanks!) These are ...

something i just discovered while backtesting: we do NOT CARE about "dist1" parameter: it is completely USELESS in the EA, as it was originally used for decioding to CLOSE trades, not open them... but the EA does not close trades anymore -- they ...

Adding MPTM features into SS EA directly ? — What's funny is that i just spent the past hour adding that to my EA... oh well... i will take yours if it has more features than mine! I see Hiredwhip is using MPTM all the time, both ...

SS EA: another optimization round on EU — After another optimization round, but with RSI (H1) in the loop, (10 to 40 by steps of 5), the best results are given with smaller values of RSI periods: 10. Giving +$9000 profit from jan1 till today ...

SS EA: optimization results on EU — hi guys, i've been backtesting it on GU and EU lately, and came up with quite interesting results, without using MPTM (don't know how to run 2 EAs together in backtesting...), just hard TP/SL settings. And i ...

i guess settings have to be adjusted every now and then, for each pair differently. Some periods are profitable, others will not, and then become profitable again. No magic do-it-all settings here. sq.

hi, you probably have different chart background colors. just use white (F8 to change the chart color scheme). IMO the best pairs are GU and GJ, but for factors you'll have to experiment and backtest yourself. It's not just a ...

goeff, i think there is a regression in v5: the slippage fields in OrderSend() calls are back to "3*Poin", where they used to be (and should still be) "3*Poin/Point", as i pointed out in a previous post. Slippage is an integer value (30 for 3 pips ...

Here is what i use: EntryFactor=0.5 TPFactor=5.1 MinExtentInPips=12 MaxExtentInPips=12 This gives me a fixed TP of 55 pips and SL=18p, everyday. Having only 18p SL is quite narrow, though, leading to more loss-trades, and therefore make the Mart ...

Hi xmph, Thanks for the "reminder" on your very interesting post. Indeed the moving box size WILL hurt you badly one day when using hard-coded martingale sequence. This is why i use a FIXED box size. Thanks to the "MinExtentInPips" and ...
