[quote=gmiklos;8972552] This seemed to help a little, but once the gap had widened enough to enter it was almost too late to enter.

If i were to buy copy i would certainly not distribute the mq4 or ex4. I am simply looking at other ways you can improve on using the original Livelli indy. You had a good idea with only using trailing stop, we tried it (free) and it didn't work out ...

I will post my source shortly. But it is relatively easy to code yourself.

Have a look and post them MQ4 if possible, I will go off on my own tangent and investigate these. Good trend spotter indy Proper use of an ATR filter look into using angles between peeks to identify lower lows or higher highs tends. That is an easy ...

That is what this version of this strategy is doing, but as you can see there are times where the market is going sideways but the 3 EMAs are aligned correctly, i'm looking to add a filter so that there needs to be a big enough gap between the EMAs ...

I need to look at these long periods where it obviously isn't trending. I know you guys activate it when you spot a trend, but it would be nice to put that into a set of rules you can code.

EA required using Livelli indicator made 600 pips

You can program this kind of rule in if any 1m bar is greater than X pips then cancel all orders. 'gut feeling' is something you can't quantify; however, I've read many peoples advice is not to overthink things and just 'trade what you see' which ...

I know raylin does not believe in backtesting, but would anyone else share results over an extended period of time (2010 onwards), using ticks and on either 1H or 4H. I am trying to gauge the results of your current version compared to the one I've ...

EA required using Livelli indicator made 600 pips

No, I didn't mean to distribute it. I meant for you to add snippets of code yourself to avoid having to pay someone to add them for you.

As your guy to provide the MQL4 file, you will easily be able to include extra features like that.

Yeah I sure will. I will do it as soon as I get back from work.

I tried it with ticks and it performed the same. I have a technique for testing strategies on higher time frames. Set the indicator to use 4h and feed in 1M OHLC as it is very unlikely that a single minute bar will hit such a high SL or TP 50pips+

My EA Monthly Results

Advice I've been given on backtesting is not to over optimise. Optimise on 75% of your relevant data (maybe 2010 onwards?) and then see how it holds up on the remaining 25% (2015-today?). The quickest way to backtest is to program the 1H timeframe ...

Have you tried to test it with ticks? if you use control points for testing a 1H time frame you may not have the granular resolution of 1M bars to test if your stop loss/ take profit was hit early.

EA required using Livelli indicator made 600 pips

Do you stick with the original idea of a fixed stop loss of 30pips and trailing stop of 20?

EA required using Livelli indicator made 600 pips

What pair, timeframe, and over what period did you run the test? Odd how you got the backtester to work and others not.

EA required using Livelli indicator made 600 pips

Yes, although it would be nice to have something that does all the work for you, you need to use an expert advisor as just that.. An 'advisor'

Lol It can't be found because it is still being tested, by me.
