yea maybe

I am hoping it will be usefull on multiple pairs. As the equity from all 3 pairs trades becomes a % all 3 will close trades and reset. With all 3 set to reset at 10% equity increase, there all three tied together with the same equity target. I hope.

max trades 4

pips 18

target 15

mm true

risk 1

equity target 10

thats what I'll be running this week forward test on 3 pairs like befor.

Dave

what are the pairs ? last time your pip step is 8 target is 30, now 15?

did bluto corrected the equity bug?

actually I think its gonna be 18 target and pips=21

with a target of 30 there is more chance of orders getting left behind.

I'll post a back test with settings on it.

Excellent work on this EA. I have an idea for a spinoff from this EA.

What about flipping the position on the pipstep instead of going against the trend? For example, if the EA opens a short at 1.2800 (Short .10 Lots), then the price goes up o 1.2810, we buy double the first position (Buy .20 Lots). If it goes back down to 1.2800, we short, but double the second position (Short .40 Lots). We take a fix profit at which time all positions are closed.

Lets say we make it $20 profit. The first positions has to move down by 22 pips with a 2 pip spread. The second position has to move 17 pips up, the third position has to move down by 15, and so fourth. The more positions open, the smaller the move has to be.

The nice thing about this strategy is that the margin is used up at a fib progression, and not the martingale progression because the positions hedge against each other. You make no big swings, but just a nice steady consistant profit.

Another idea is to pyramid in one direction with the same lots until a profit level is reached. Let's say we want $100. We buy at 1.2800, we buy again at 1.2810, 1.2820, and 1.2830. At 1.2840 we hit $100. However, lt's say it reverses at 1.2830. When the profit level of the first positions is 0 which would be at 1.2815, a sell of .20 lots is made and pyramids in the opposite direction.

Oh, I wanted to add that all these ideas work fantasticly in my head.

I now understand how a dog thinks after he has been neutered.

how about other setting? RSX time frame and SMAfilter time frame?

do you have the latest version with equitytarget is workable?

2 Days worth of forward tests USD/EUR

A couple more days like this and the EA will have paid for itself

EDIT: "2 days of forward testing" should read as "2 days of live trading"

Best nick ever!

Sorry to confuse. Essentially, what I am proposing is an EA that opens orders based on price action. It simply goes with the price. It buys as it goes up and sells as it goes down. Eventually there will be move in one direction that creates a profit and all previous orders are closed.

I mean in terms of the return from the $1,100 that it was risked against it.
