10points 3.mq4 - page 303

 

I already posted about this EA (MyScalper) in newdigitals thread - 'Traders Joking...' - it is NOT profitable when traded realtime so there is really no point posting another loser. What I would really like to find out is WHY there is such a difference between backtests and forward tests...

I get very similar results to the picture you just posted - depressing

By the way, your english is very good, no problem at all understanding you.

 
mrv:
Sorry to say, but it was all trends. Maybe a couple of them were inspired by news, like this eur rally after bad nfp, but all the rest were slow and steady moves i one direction, sometimes taking even 2 days to complete. 15p pipstep probably is too agressive, but it made +50% in the first 1.5 months, so things were green for some time.

On the contrary! I am very happy to hear it was all trends: it goes with my theory!

Just had to say thanks to all who contributed am a position trader and am quite keen to automate many tasks so i can return to day trading.

Dear All,

TrailingStop=0 trailing stop

MaxTrades=10 maximum stack orders

Multiplier=3 multiply factor on double down

Pips=5 interval of stack orders

OrderstoProtect=4 when stack order reach this figure, activate cost averaging close with equity instead of TP

Money_management=true activate this for auto money management

AccountType=1 set 0 for broker who only allow 0.10 lot, 1 for broker allowed 0.01 lot , and 2 for InterbankFX's NANO account 1cent/pip

risk=1 Percentage to be risk on the 1st trade

ReverseSignal=false invert the indicator, buy signal do sell, sell signal do buy

Fast_EMA=12 MACD fast period

Slow_EMA=26 MACD slow period

Signal_SMA=9 MACD signal

Shift=1 Indicator look back (1 means trade after 1 bar confirmation of signal)

Thanks for the work David, I am curious what pair you did this particular backtest on? eur/gbp?

edit: I read the attachment, I should ask such remedial questions :P Euro/usd it is.

 

Thanks David. I'll try that new version.
