It was over a year ago in which Peter made his 1000th post (it can be found 8 posts above this post). I then congratuated him for his accomplishment and... he has not made a post since then! Obviously it doesn't matter whether someone continues to ...

Just to clear up a misconception a lot of people have, Lever70 is actually a SHE and not a HE. Topgun

I happened to come across this interesting article that was published over a week ago regarding the odds of a coin toss. This thread came to mind when I read the article, as the article fits in quite nicely with this thread. url

The Coin Trade System aka Flip The Coin

If it is true that trading in one direction makes the odds 50/50, then maybe the best thing to do is for someone to test out that theory by trading in only one direction. You could have at least a 2:1 risk-reward ratio and let the odds play ...

Cornflower Hourly System

Hi Fritz, Yes, last week I ran the Conflower EA around the clock ... 24 hrs a day from the time the market opened on Sunday to the closing at the end of the week on Friday. However, there was one day during that week in which I had to restart my ...

Cornflower EA

Lever, you are correct. The 5 min timeframe is not the best timeframe to use with the Cornflower system. I am no longer testing the 5 min charts. I believe the 1 hr and 4 hr timeframes are the best timeframes for this system. I just want to say that ...

Cornflower EA

The market giveth ... and the market taketh away. The last time I posted my results, I had posted a profit of +1080 pips of a combined 10 currencies I have been trading. Last week's trading results have been a complete opposite of the previous week ...

Try this: 1. Go to the "View" tab at the top of the (MT4) screen 2. When the box drops down, click "Strategy Tester". The Strategy Tester is what you do your backtesting with. Topgun

Cornflower EA

Postrock, you may be correct that the 5 min timeframe is not the best one to use. So far I've backtested several SL's & TP's with the 5 min timeframe and none of them have yet to show a profit. I'm going to test a few more scenarios with the 5 mn ...

Vanupips, thanks so much for the info on how to backtest. I never knew I could backtest by using the MT4 platform! I've always done it the hard way - visually and manually. Now it will be MUCH easier. I'm in the process now of backtesting 5 min ...

Cornflower EA

I'm sorry for being a little late in updating last week's final results. As I mentioned, there were 5 trades on the 1 hr account that were still open at last Friday's market close, and there were 4 open trades on the 5 min account. Those trades ...

Cornflower EA

Just to let everyone know, last week was my first full week of trading using the Cornflower EA (using the new improved EA). I posted my results in the "Cornflower EA" thread. Check it out. I hope others here will also give the EA a try and that you ...

As promised, here are the results of my Cornflower EA trades for last week. 1 hr TF Cornflower trades Pip Total = +870 Won = 46 Loss = 69 Win Percentage = 40% (There are 5 current trades that were still in progress when the market closed Friday. The ...

Cornflower EA

Postrock, thanks for clearing up my confusion with the bar value thing. I now understand it. My next question is regarding the trigger MA. As you already know, the Cornflower system has 4 different ema's: 8, 12, 24, and 72. My question is -- What if ...

Cornflower EA

Ari, I'm guessing you are using backtesting software. If that is the case then that is something I have no experience in. The only backtesting I've ever done with any system is visual backtesting ... which is that of looking at the past possible ...

Cornflower EA

Off the top of my head, I don't think I can give the exact mathematical formula for a moving average, but using a 12 ema for an example, I assume a 12 ema is basically the average price of the previous 12 ema bars. However, I may be wrong. I'm not a ...

Cornflower EA

I am going to post here a little about how I am currently using the EA. I have 2 demo accounts ... Interbank for the 1 hr chart trades and FXDD for 5 mn chart trades. Here are my settings for each account: Interbank Time Frame: 1 hour Trading Time: ...

Postrock, I agree it is better to have another thread for the Cornflower EA. Hartnet had mentioned earlier in this thread about how Lever70 (the originator of the Cornflower system) preferred a separate thread from her thread if an EA was ever made. ...
