HH, i was just wondering how you calculate the baseline (blue line 4/8) ? Did you use a specific level that seems to be the most frequent Support or resistance ?
It's all in the first post and the PM I replied to.

Hi Hollowhead,

Did u try to back test the EA with this system? As I do not have idea how to backtest with the rules u hv in this thread, Could you guide me to back test the EA with 122 pips range?

Thanks

Dear HH,

One last thing,....I know that you like H4 TF very much,...I like it too,...
The last I need to ask you, for the LENGHT, did you always use 1:1 to every MM 100% line ?

For example you will use Lenght 122 pips for NZDUSD even in H4 TF ? While you use Lenght 244 pips for GBPUSD in H4 TF ?

Please kindly explain to me,.....

Thanks,

Budi Dharma

I have started backtesting with quite a few variations - results are mixed depending on the pair and time period I choose, but nothing has stuck out to me. This is not exactly suprising though.

1:1 is what I favour at the moment, but I am also looking at combining 122 and 156 with pipEASY's millipede approach outlined in in his thread and the PDF I posted yesterday. But I don't think many traders will have the stomach or patience for it

I don't really know anything about the techinical side of EAs etc, but it might be that your MT4 has not got the complete data for pair you are testing. You could try downloading the data again and trying it once more.

I would also wanna to backtest the system. Do I have to adjust the variation before i start using the strategy tester to backtest?

I am sorry but could you give me some guidience or procedure for me to do backtest with the EA?

Paulus has made the EA very flexible.

When in the strategy tester click Expert Properties, then change the fields to what you want, ie where price needs to have come from (Start) where it finishes (This is actually your entry point, TP, SL, BE (0 if you don't have one), you need to do that for both buys and sells, then enter the length and baseline.

With some trial and error it is quite simple.

OK i will try. How the results of EA testing with different variation? Can u share some of the results to us? As you said the EA did not show u any surprise, is that still profitable after you backtest?

OK - below screenshots are for
Long - price comes for 76.4% breaks 23.6% by 5 pips, with a 125pip TP (that's about the upper 76% level) and SL 75 pips (which is just below the 100%)
Short - price comes for 23.6% breaks 76.4% by 5 pips (note it is "-5"), with a 125pip TP (that's about the upper 76% level) and SL 75 pips (which is just below the 100%).

Thank you very much Steve!

I did some backtest this afternoon and the results seemed not very encouraging as the result shows not profitability with the system. I use 122 as the length but EUR/USD just dont seem to be the pair to trade with the system. And even recently i am having positive result on forward testing but the past result just dont support it. Btw hows ur result with the backtesting? which pairs or length is the best at the moment? I am encouraging ppl to use martingale but seems this system should be trading with hedging strat or martingale cant just trade standalone as the phases seperate price equally and thats more or less close to grid trading. Anyway I would love to hear some ideas from you!

Like you I've yet to find the right combination of levels and rules that are universally profitable (and I suspect they don't exist)

Like any system - and I mean ANY system, this will be profitable in some environments, and an account killer in others. So picking pairs, and environments is key. Knowing when to trade and when to stay out is important.

I hedge a lot, but it is not easy but it takes a high level of patience, discipline and confidence to unlock hedges. As far as martingale goes, I would never encourage anyone down that route - if the system can only be profitable with martingale, then it is not a good system.

One other way to trade this is as described by pipEasy's Building an equity millipede.

I find the number 515 an interesting number.. 5 by 103.. will be looking to short the Dragon.. next week based on this number also 680 and 1130..just my thinking of course.. I think he uses it a LOT of different ways besides the way he laid down.. just my thoughts like I said..

For those interested you might want to try this EA test

  1. Pick a pair
  2. Pick a year long period to test over
  3. Use length 66 for length (78 for JPY pairs)
  4. Use this years baseline if you can't be bothered to work out the MM levels for your period.
  5. Enter any trade criteria on the EA (I used break of 100% (with price coming from 76.4%/23.6%), SL 33 pips.
  6. Do 5 tests - with the following TP

    1. 33pips (RR 1:1)
    2. 66pips (RR 1:2)
    3. 99pips (RR 1:3)
    4. 132pips (RR 1:4)
    5. 165pips (RR 1:5)


Compare the declining win rate with the profitability.

For those that can't use the EA for whatever reason here's a set of reports.

For those that can't use the EA...
Here's what is likely to happen..
1. Only a few people will look at this (a set of reports is not as interesting as a colourful new indicator!!)
2. Of those that look into it, some will 'see' what it actually means
3. Of those only a few will incorporate the principle into their trading.
4. Only a handful will have the patience and emotional stability to see it through to profit - and they will never look back.

BUT - contained here is what I believe is the most simple, fundamental, universal and dependable trading truth... it's always been there to see, we have all read about it in one way or another, but still we search for 'another key/secret'.
