The ea will trade as many positions as you have open but you do have to be a little bit careful when opening trades. If the price has only just crossed below the ma for example and you sell it it can sometimes close the positions straight away. You ...

Hello. I believe that when people talk about offset with moving averages it means that the ma is printed a bar or two left or right of where it normally would be. I have never seen an advantage to this and so have never used it and always leave that ...

Well I have no idea what the hell just happened but I had to have a look as I just happen to be long gold, silver, oil and s+p500! All of them certainly liked this news. Got to love donch channel trading, just let the news happen.

Hello, glad you like the thread. I think the best way to approach this is to watch all pairs but just be careful of overtrading. For instance it is a good idea to watch the euro against all other currencies but if they all set up at the same time be ...

It's not always going to and it's definitely harder at this time of year. Remember that oil is in an uptrend so cadjpy should in theory be rising too.

The last s+p500 add on stopped out for a loss.

Gold and Silver opened tonight and Oil added on again. I'm pleased with the ea now, it's working to the set rules.

No worries, good to know someone is watching. 20 to 80% a year isn't enough for most traders

9% doesn't seem worth it but I just noticed the max drawdown is around 2%! I'd be comfortable with a max drawdown nearer 20% so there is definitely scope to risk more per trade here.

Thinking about it that's odd. A bloke who specifically writes expert advisors for mt4 doesn't want them tested on mt4?! I have come across him before in my travels and I believe he is an upfront and honest person but how can you write an ea that can ...

Yes, I suppose so. I have never yet found an intra day ea that worked but something that follows an eod entry method faithfully can be profitable so maybe we can finalise the rules for this system so it can be fully automated? Maybe not...

Why? I have manually backtested lots of eod systems and then run an ea through the strategy tester and got very similar results. I think with eod data it is more reliable. Can anyone suggest a more reliable way to back test systems? Amibroker? ...

I agree it is possible that some discretion would still be necessary.
