patmontes:Evillive, I will try the one you posted for 8.3

It does work with the setfiles posted originally?


I have a forward live test running and the versions 8.3 and 8.5 do both not open positions since Tuesday.

If I do a backtest with the data just for this week, there are profitable positions. So something is weird here. Looks like its just made for nice backtesting results.

I stay with milestone, 10 pairs running since november with awesome profits and some floating positions, whats normal in a martingale system.

Anyway, have a nice weekend


Guys,

Don't waste your time on 8.5. It is simply 8.3 with some essential parts of the code removed! However, 8.3 does work.

The original 8.3 will only work with GJ/5M. Evillive has removed this restriction in his version.

Have you tried in live or forward test?

Hi, I have it running on a demoaccount and it trades there, it just has a couple of very exact parameters that need to be fulfilled before opening a trade, it can take days between 2 trades. Trevone set it up so that RSI, ATR and volume all have to hit a sweet spot before triggering an OrderSend. And they are modelled to fit GBPJPY, so it won't fit any other pairs. Mostly because of the MaxATR I believe.

I use the Comment function to show me the variables so I can see what's happening. Works in backtesting also, and before backtesting, fill your data with tickstory or something, it won't be correct otherwise.

Good Luck!

I have got it also running on a demo account and it made good profit during the last week but today it went down to almost zero. Also backtesting with one year data showed alot of complete drawdowns. Did you change any settings and does the spread affect the results? I am a newbie and too emotional for manual trading ;)

Hi,

Yep, today it took a dump!

I've run backtests 2013 01 until today and with presets low, medium and high I get no crasches, preset extreme crasches somewhere around August 20. But the account went from $100 to $32000 so I figure that's ok with me. I always take out money, first when the profit=deposit I take out the deposit, then I take out as much as I like, generally every friday.

Set up calendar reminders to check your profit and write down a strategy, e.g. when profit is above 50% of your deposit take out 10% of the profit. Or something....

Decide on a strategy and stick to it, robots are there to help you with your discipline, my manual trading is below average, therefore I use robots :-)

Can whoever is actually maintaining this identify themselves please? We have a 8.7 version online all of a sudden although the original poster seems shut out from this forum, and with the code not apparently having changed to previous versions (a detailed look at it notwithstanding). Seems odd and I would appreciate knowing if this is still being developed. Thanks!
