I have run the experimental version live (cent account so big spreads) this week on H4 and using Bob's MA's to filter entry, on seven pairs.
AU,EG,EJ,GJ,GU,UC,UJ
Here are results for the period, now all closed for weekend, plus the set file

As above post but HGB 'n Grid on H4 on micro account, only running for couple of days
AU,EA,EG,EJ,EU,GA,GC,GJ,GU,UC,UJ (UC and AU added near W/E)

Here are the results and setfile (for a micro account that trades $1,000 lots at real amount rather than cent account maked as $, so unusual configuration and very confusing for trade managers :? )

Results for a Demo running HGB_experimental for the week without filters

And the setfile:

Morning all,

My results for this week, 10K GP with the single MA filter and semaphor options enabled.

As you can see its a very different result from most people here - I must be the only person in the red. NFP alone hit the account for about 4%

I've been deliberately trying odd combinations of settings to see if I can find the ones that don't work but next week I think I will go with your SET file Woodlands.

Hi Woodlands. Which version are you running for the first demo?

An excellent last week topped off a wonderful month. My live results for the previous month, using Bob's trend filter:
Last month.png
Those GJ losses came from my failed experiment with GW and from a basket of HGBnG trades I closed manually before you guys stepped in with so many sophisticated ideas to improve him.

Last week:
Last week.png
GU is the star of the show. I have an unbalanced hedged GU position at the mo, so interesting to see what happens to that next week.

I have Tony to thank for most of the EU. The pair had already generated some semafor high signals when Tony reminded us about NFP. It was a bit of a non-event but beforehand I decided not to risk the market heading back down south and closed them.

That single loser is one I closed manually.

DD is $900, down from $1100 at market close last week so you can argue that I did not make any actual money last week - or you could regard it as my working capital that generated about a 90% return. Let's go with the latter as it sounds better. :lol: The only problem is that it ties up margin. DD has been as low as $150, so I think that if it reaches that level again, I will close out, bank the profits and start again.

I am not sure the function intended to close the winning side of a hedged position on a retrace from a semafor signal is working properly. It looks to me as though my UC sells should have been closed a couple of times but they are still open. This has worked in my favour so far, but it would be better to have the code working properly, so I will look at it.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I restarted the 'full on' demo in light if recent developments in the bot's trading methods. This is the demo where I have HGBnG loaded onto every standard forex pair and no manual intervention, using Bob's trend filter:
Full on.png
DD is $800

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This one used to be HGB and his Ma in a Hedge, so using tnavi's filter and also with no manual intervention:

Good headline figure, but the DD is not far short of the profit.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have saved the best demo until last. The experimental version without trend filter:

DD $143 and has never been high. Outstanding.

We all know what a magnificent forum SHF is but even by our standards the last month has been phenomenal. Congratulations to all of us. :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:

Thanks for the detailed update Steve. HGBnG is truly amazing!

I have one question for you on the experimental version. Did you leave it hands free or do any manual closure?

Hands free. Not sure I would do live, given the ridiculously profitable positions is sometimes builds up.

Only a very few in the retail forex world have such dilemmas I would wager. My HGBnGX demo is also doing phenomenally

Many thanks to Steve et al
