Ah... OK, so we're both right! It's just that I looked to your chart and it seemed the same as mine, so I thought we had the same values, but we don't. But, as you said, in this case it didn't make a difference at all. But I think we can't stop ...

Yes; Wrong; The long trade is triggered at the next bar; The blue candle has a high of 1.5461, so the buy stop was placed at 1.5469 (high+5+spread); The next candle made an high of 1.5467... but that's the bid price - at that point, the ask price ...

4H 5EMA System

Hello to all, I've been following this thread since last weekend only, but I have taken the time to read it all, and re-read it when I had doubts, to assimilate all the methodology. So until now I hadn't major doubts worth posting, except maybe ...

Any of them has the choice of using the period of EMA you wish to, you simply change it in the inputs box. By default it's 25 - just replace by 50. The more recent it is, the more options it has. Remember to look at the other inputs, and set them to ...

By the way pavikogm, When I went through the EA's code to uncomment the SL part to get an exact break even (and by the way, I just want to remember that in this case, there's still little losses/gains, everytime the TP is taken at least 1 day after ...

Compairing with the performance of my previous best settings for the 3 years (ATRMultiplier=2.3; Stoch_Slowing=5; Stoch_MAMethod=2), and using the same... yes, except for 2006. That was for a total of 5 lots, 2 for TP1 and 1 for each other TP. But ...

I've compared that to previous performance in EURUSD (using only 1 multiplier - I don't have notes since we have a second one): 2006: +28,00% 2007: -59,68% 2008: -3,85%

I think all the ideas now should be to try to avoid big drawdowns, rather than to try reaching higher maximum gains. What's the point of having a system/EA that shows you (for example) 300% gain in x years, if in that period there's huge drawdowns ...

I think there would be an easy way to keep the EA performing as the indicator, while not having those little losses at TP1. In the EA, we would have to make our stops: SL - spread -> when we are short; SL + spread -> when we are long. That way the ...

It's because of the spread, and pavikogm told us that, when he made the first EA: that's because the Indicator only looks to one price, the chart price (by default it's bid price), while an EA, after entering a trade (long/short -> ask/bid), ...

EMA 25-50 Trading System (Detailed)

There's a reason to it: First of all, remember that the indicator starts at the start of your chart, while when you test the EA, you fix a starting date; Obviously, there's a good chance that at the start time of the EA (when it starts waiting for a ...

There are systems that can work smoothly for a medium/long period of time... for now, ours don't seem of that kind. So we might be forced to try that... it's one of my other ideas, though with a little nuance... I'll talk about that later.

Well, it seems impossible to optimize parameters in EURUSD to obtain an interesting and more stable growing curve. There's too much drawdowns, and it stays around horizontal until the start of this year, where it shoots up. I have some other ideas ...

There's only pavikogm's EAs 1) What I posted earlier today was the Indicator with those changes I've been mentionning; 2) pavikogm changed the EA to it (EA_testMM_V.1.13.2). He called it ".2" because he first made another version with issues ...

OK... I wouldn't have noticed it, because I'm trying to achieve a better curve for a longer period (since 2006), and with MM=on (to simulate my real trading). I use 2.5 to 4% of balance equity (actually working with 4%) - that's because the plan is ...

Of course it's not... It's not an indicator, it's an EA - meaning it goes to Expert folder. I guess your Saturday was even "heavier" than mine

Is it possible to code it this way: I don't know if you see the advantages (from my point of view): 1) Your ATRMultiplier & ATRSLMultiplier become one and the same parameter, so there's never the possibility of your 3rd example (bellow break even); ...

Can't say... I've only tried to optimized it for a short period of months (good results), as it would take forever to run a larger timeframe optimization. But I prefer to wait for pavikogm's view of this (he's online, soon we'll know). I think the ...

I've said it before, the growing profit curve of the optimized parameters tends to be flat in previous years, and have almost all its profits this year. The best I did with the previous EA, from 2006 until now, with 10k balance and very conservative ...
