Peaky on Steroids

[saintalan]

Hi Steve and all, once again a fantastic idea put in to action. Congrats to Steve and helpers.

If anyone can help with an issue I would be thankful. I have held off asking and gone through as much as I could over the past week, hopefully it may help others on the side-lines.

Testing with 2 Crims both Live and Demo accounts, I have now got it working on one.

Crim 1 - To start I got the Dash working but it just sat there without trading. Dimwit moment 1 not enough margin, sorted that then loaded a new version that became available but still it wouldn't action until Dimwit moment 2, I noticed the swaps were showing all ZERO, turning off the new feature it started to trade. Only problem here for me is that ZERO swap is displayed in my Trade Terminal for both my LIVE & DEMO a/c, so lose this feature. At least technically I have got it working

Crim 2 - With this one I can not get past the Wait...initialising. This Crim has both non suffix pairs and .m suffix pairs depending on the type of a/c. Obviously I tried both, there was one moment a few versions back where I was trying to resolve it when it actually initialised, I was so surprised that I had least got that far even though it didn't trade. Staring at it I suddenly noticed that it was showing, for example, USDJPY.m.m - now I thought I might be on to something but then couldn't replicate it again. That's where it stands now it wont initialise even with or without suffix.

Apologies to those bored by now but any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Alan

I have even run the History script overnight!

How? Run PoS on M1, and watch the magic happen ! Thanks to Steve et al. for this beauty.
Some comments:
1. Six majors, because of high volatility and low spreads
2. Global Prime a broker, for the correct execution and no slippage. A must in my opinion.
3. A TP of 4 pips: i have an indi running, indicating that 4 pips is the most common.
4. 240 bars on the chart, representing H4.
5. A small buffer for entries: 2 pips
6. fixed lot size of 0.1 on a 100 € account (i know, i know)
7. max 3 orders (because of the previous) and min. margin% =500

And so I spend most of the day watching the magic happen: the history shows one losing trade, that's when I intervened :(
The cancelled pending orders are manually deleted, and the end of my trading day.
A welcome enhancement for this trading style would be the trading hours start/stop user input.
Already having wild dreams of repeating this on a live 1.000€ account, making 500 €/day :P
I include my setfile , indicators and template for convenience.
Happy trading!

Hi Thomasmore,

Hmmmmn, 1min has also been good for me this week but very robust with almost the 5 min settings. I like your settings, looks good. Must give it a go Thanks for that...

5 and 15 min not so good. 1hr looks promising and Hey ho 4Hr time frame has been a winner for me this week. Anyway early testing and I like the new introductions by Steve. I have a long way to go with this for sure

Cheers
Leon

I have very different results
I have it on 2 demo accounts one of them with M5, M15, H1, H4 with almost OOTB settings (sixths as TP etc.). The other one is on M1, M5, M15, H1 with different buffer and TP pip numbers what I based on the average ATR across all the pairs - on M1 I have 4 pips buffer with 6 pips TP. The week started very good, then the big movements happened, and I am now sitting on a very big DD on both of the accounts.

The account with M1-M5-M15-H1 tf has made about +12% on balance with 0.01 lots/1k lot sizing, but it is sitting on a 43% DD currently. I don't know if it will recover or not, but I'm patiently watching it Most of the losing trades were made on the M1 timeframe on the EU currencies (EUR, GBP, CHF) with JPY. I haven't deleted any orders, letting PoS do it's work 24h a day. This demo is on GP too, but I had some invalid prices, requotes and invalid stops sometimes (last night the spread on one of the CHF pair went up to 15 pips for about 1 hours after new day started, PoS wanted to make trades there, but can't do it because of the very high spread).

I attached an escel spreadsheet with the ATR values I gathered last weekend in preparation to set up PoS - colored the values that are above/below the average by 1 deviation.

On another account I have the original Peaky running with the DFC dashboard on H1 tf, it has 25 open trades currently and it haven't closed a trade yet, since I started it on the 19th of June.

I will try your M1 settings on another account thomasmore. When did you start your demo? Before the big runs hapened this week or after it?

Hi Zool,

I started a new 100€ demo this morning, June 29th, and stopped the EA this same day. See details in the image in my previous post.

Hi Thomasmore

How do you only select the 6 majors the MTF selects any doesn't it?

From the User Guide:

◦ Pairs to trade: this is a list of the pairs you want to trade. Each one is separated
by a comma. There is no need to add pair suffixes if your broker has one –
Peaky should take care of this herself. Contact me if not.

Oh sorry I thought that wa sonly a sample of the trades Well you are lucky then, that you haven't started this earlier Look at the EURJPY at 2017.06.27 11:23-11:24 time. At the price of 125.29 would been a sell tarde placed, then the 3 addon pending trades would have been added in 3.5 hours later. Then to the highest peak (currently) would been a 350 pip movement up. Same movements happened (price gone big distance away, without hitting TP) on AUDUSD, EURUSD, GBPUSD,USDCAD, USDCHF (maybe this could have gotten out, depends on the spread), USDJPY (price now retracing to the level the original trade was opened) - so pretty much all of the pairs you trade except EURGBP. This would been a blown up account in 1 day even with 0.01 lots. Luck can be a big factor when making money

Erm, well this will work - right up to the point where it doesn't. At which time you can kiss your account goodbye.

Please don't try this at home.

The way the markets moved this week, peeps who do not really understand how I trade are going to learn what I mean when I say that patience is essential when trading this way - and that why trading the high swap pairs in the wrong direction hurts so much. They are going to learn the meaning of my oft-stated, "eventually".

Just for your interest folks, I discovered the cause of that rogue red dot that hid my OnInit() function earlier in the week. It wasn't Dotty on an attention seeking mission.

I do a lot of key combinations to highlight whole lines of code, highlight whole words, jump to the end/beginning of the code etc. I miss hit a combo yesterday and a beautiful little red smiley face appeared in the code. Try as I may, I have not been able to do this again.

The red dot was a key combo miss hit. I would like to write, "Mystery solved by super sleuth Steve" but in reality, "Mystery solved by kack-handed useless typist Steve". Hey ho.
