Only changes from my original system is trading 24/5 and utilising the 4H filter with an emergency stop loss of 25% just so that I can monitor it to see how it performs. So far max DD is a little over 4%..TP is also amended to 1.2% due to high frequency of trading..

Kudos to Mathias the EA is performing flawlessly.. :hi:

WOW.

I had it running 24/5 on M15, made a killing yesterday, and got killed tonight.

Care to share your setfile so I can look where to start adjusting?

I am travelling at the moment and back home tonight. I have managed to log into my VPS to setup the CSSDiff set I posted with restricted trading times ... just 2hours at the start of each session but trading every candle and basket close. Today will be a dry run to see if I have the trading times right and if not I can adjust tonight when I get home. I will repost my set file then.

I had M15 CSS cross; H1 CSSDiff; H4CSSDiff to enter and just M15 CSS cross to close still running from last week until now and it's interesting that it's pretty much broken even over that period. So I agree that basket closes should be the way to go with whatever entry criteria we settle on.

Really enjoying everyone's input here and well done to everyone that has donated. Steve has given me a tally so far and it's looking good. Last chance this week for anyone else that wants to give a little back and then the monies will be allocated this Friday.

Have a great day everyone

Zennor, I agree that H4 filter on H1 looks great.

I am also playing with a M15/H1/H4 CSSDiff starting at 10:15 (GP - 15 minutes after LO) with a 1.5% basket TP. I figure that starting on the second candle will rule out any reversals that arise immediately after the open but also cash in on momentum of those that continue. Tonight was my first test and it hit TP in 17 minutes. I will set up an account and see how that one goes over a couple of weeks.

Hi Mathias,

There is no option to set up TF for EA! Am I wrong?

You can set a timeframe to current and then it is the Charts timeframe.
In this case the multitrades option is set to current timframe for new trades.
In this case I assume so far that Zennor use H1.

Mathias you assume correctly. EA is set up a 1H chart...

Works well for me too...

I added another setup adding cssdiff m15 as well and it worked even better.
We have exciting times ahead...
In different flavours of setups as well.
This will be an interesting autumn!
