MACD Cross
Hi All,
I have a idea for EA using MACD 13,32,48 and PSAR Step 0.005 Max.0.05 or 0.006 and 0.06 H1 TF
Entry point when MACD Cross (Close Bar)and exit PSAR or optional trailing stop.

Best system for Cross pairs
Hi
I found a very good system which is very good to trade cross pairs.
It is very simple and based on SMA and EMA, but very effective. If some one can develop an EA for this we can test.
2 type of Moving Average of Prervious bar will be used
6 ema,12 sma
Trend is down if 6ema<12ma
and Trend is up if 6ema>12ma
buy or sale signal
Sell: if is trend down and sell(bid) H
Or
Buy: if trend is up and buy(ask) L[Lowest(6,0)]
exit:
if trend is down, short, L[Lowest(6,0)]
if trend up, long, H
reverse:
trend is up, short, L[Lowest(6,0)]
trend is down, long, H
------------------------------------------
If any programmar can make indicator or EA for this system. we all can see its potential.
I am sorry, but I did not understand the rules. Can you please elaborate or possibly use some numerical values to explain.
Thanks,
Maji
Breakout EA
Hi experts,
I would like to draw your attention to the following thread, especially the one discussion by fxengines. Here is the link: http://www.strategybuilderfx.com/forums/showthread.php?t=11530&page=4&pp
Most importantly, he has mentioned two systems in his discussions that I am copying and pasting here -
Example 1: Entry signal is a 60 minute breakout of 15 over the high of the last period, limit exit of 30. The probability in the report for GBP 60 MIN 15 trigger is 85.7%. This test yielded 84%, and made money.
"This engine had a net performance of 1298 pips with an 84% success rate. Had all trades been exited at the high, the engine would have been worth 2521 pips. However, an average of 1.97 pips per trade was "given back" from the high to the point where you exited. The maximum drawdown for this engine was 454 pips, with 3 losing trades during the worst losing streak and 46 winners during the best winning streak."
EXAMPLE 2: Entry signal is a 60 minute breakout of 25 over the high of the last period, limit exit of 30. The probability in the report for GBP 60 MIN 25 trigger is 95.2%. This test yielded 84%, and made money.
"This engine had a net performance of 941 pips with an 84% success rate. Had all trades been exited at the high, the engine would have been worth 1832 pips. However, an average of 2.02 pips per trade was "given back" from the high to the point where you exited. The maximum drawdown for this engine was 452 pips, with 3 losing trades during the worst losing streak and 25 winners during the best winning streak."
Has anyone written an EA to backtest and verify this claim? I tried, but could not duplicate their results or even come close, but I am no expert. I hope one of the gurus here can do it.
Thanks,
Maji
