Yes it seems to be getting caught on a few symbols with really large positions that draw the account down - this is not how the snowroller concept is supposed to work. I wonder if the stoploss per position would at least slow the bleed when the ...

Guys see post # 147. I think giving EA users the ability to customize the directional filter by optimizing TrendLookbackMins and TrendLookbackMins2 will solve many/most of the problems. These markets go through waves. Right now it seems that the USD ...

SnowRoller 1.00 Update — I have been working on this. First, let me explain how I view this EA. I don't view it as a straight anti-grid strategy. I've tested the strict automated anti-grid and the results are not pretty = very large drawdowns ...

Snow Roller - An Avalanche of Profits

The EA already offers a stop loss and take profit. You can change the numbers by updating the inputs: takeprofit (deafult 0 = not used) stoploss (default 0 = not used) These values are in pips (not pippettes). So just put in 10 and 20 into ...

Welcome! So far it looks like the 5 minute time frame is best. Higher time frames like 15, 60 should also work though haven't been tested. The time frame determines how many trades can be placed. If you are concerned about margin usage from your ...

The EA probably didn't compile correctly if it won't stick on a chart. Nicastro should open up MT4 (modify the EA) and see what errors are preventing it from compiling (if that's the case).

Two More Shots — Here are two shots using the Basket_Stats indicator to give more detail about the above curves and the underlying symbols. It's clear that the 5 min (so far) is the best performer though the 1 minute has made a big comeback ...

Your SlowRoller is trading too large. It should be trading 0.1 lots per $5000 balance. Change BalancePerlotsize to 5000.0 for SnowRoller. Classic looks good sizewise. You might consider using separate accounts for testing as they might not want to ...

If your broker uses the mini size 0.1 lot size as a minimum, use 5000.0 for BalancePerlotsize. If your broker uses micro lot size as 0.01 as a minimum, use 500.0 or default value for BalancePerlotsize. I hope that makes sense. If you're using MIG, ...

It looks like the 5 min is giving good results. I did another update to fix the last of the (I hope) perpetual loop bug. I also added an input: extern int TrendLookbackMins = 200; // number of minutes to look back for trend pattern I was noticing ...

I did a bug fix for the endless loop problem that affected pairs after positions are closed. It is uploaded to the Market Formula site. I think the EA is doing the MM correctly. For IBFX, which has a minimum lot size of 0.01, when you set 500.0 as ...

Bugs — If you've had SnowRoller attached to a chart before and with the new update are getting strange results with the money management closeouts, try resetting the EA properties to the defaults. I had to do this on a MIG demo. the ...

Some users are seeing positive results with SnowRoller_Classic which is the original version posted, the SnowRoller.mq4 file is newer but untested as it was just posted this morning. Either should work and both could be tested on different demos for ...

Snow Roller - Update — I've been testing and working and studying code and I think I have come up with a new version of Snow Roller that should perform very well. After running lots of tests (outside MetaTrader), I've come up with the ...

No Classic didn't use the 5 pip stops. I believe this was a case of me being fooled by the MT4 backtester.

Snow Roller Fusion — Here are my ideas for going forward in developing the current version (SnowRoller.mq4) into a fusion of the best parts of the classic and of the current version. The best parts of SR_Classic are having an overriding ...
