I have added a few new features to 1b. Scroll down to, "There are two more groups of inputs that help you control trade opening and closing:" on page one to read about them.

Excellent results Bazze and Pandaboy

I have been trying different flavours ie D1, H4, H1 for the first two weeks and it just did not work for me.
I went onto W1, D1, and H4 this week and it went well until the big moves with the pound on thusday. Will give it a bit more space in the coming week.

For now it remains Steve's OOTB settings for me

Cheers
Leon

Hi Guys,

As mentioned last week that I would give my W1D1H4 set a bit more space. And I am glad I did. Patience, patience and more patience is all it needs.

Here are my results and my set file.

Hello Leon,

What was the DD?

Hi Coenraad,

I actually just realised that my results have been somewhat skewed by the opening Gap. I was running at 17% drawdown which is a heck of a lot but not enough to judge after only a weeks testing. Also bearing in mind that I had grid trading open at one stage with a 5 pip difference. I wanted to see if Hgbdottynpivots would take grid trades within the confines of the pivot and the support/resistance area and it did, which immediately put the set on the backfoot with a massive drawdown and at 10c lots you can imagine

I have since done away with that idea and find it sufficient for the Ea to take trades with buy/sell limits within confines of the 4 hr pivots

Anyway, early days and only time will tell if trading smaller time frame pivots are a worth while route to go. We are entering month end and important news events leading up to the French elections and much forward testing data could or will be skewed. I will not let this deter me

Of course in a live situation it is different.

Cheers
Leon

Niiiice, WG...And, thank you

...At the moment my EA are picking green pipitos, not in a fast pace, but slow and steady can be a good thing as long as the income is green
