Awesome - original version

[eaymon]

Day 6:
Awesome all timeframes non basket.set

Balance : $10,950.26
Equity : $9967

~ $981 floating loss

Awesome M1 basket.set

lot sizes and balances fixed
Balance : $11,217.96
Equity: ~$9,818.70

~ $1400 floating loss

Steves four timeframe.set

Balance : $10,786.34
Equity : $9,592

~ $1200 floating loss

I was hoping that there might be some activity from this evenings JPY news event, but nothing moved. I am guessing they might reverse with wednesday's news.

The balance from accounts 1 and 3 have only gone up $50 but the DD increased by $200 (for #1) and doubled for #3.

The DD for account 2 has also doubled but the balance has also gone up by $500 since Thursday last week so the equity value is about the same.

Advanced swap feature, what if instead of only switching +swap on/off we gave the possibility to trade all pairs and close all positions that are in positive and have -swaps rates just before the broker charge the swaps?

started with the m1 basket-settings yesterday and I found something happening with my "crim".
when I activate the ea i get the following screen:

2017-08-08 14_33_48-RDP-Manager.jpg

-->"I have reached my weekly profit target and will not start any more cycles this week."
The ea is not starting any trade on my fresh account (picture below).

2017-08-08 14_38_18-RDP-Manager.jpg

this is the output for my variables:

2017-08-08 14_50_41-RDP-Manager.jpg

I printed the TradingDoneForTheDay and TradingDoneForTheWeek, as you see in the following code.
On the screen it shows false, like it's set in the beginning.

Code: Select all

  //Profit targets
   text = "";
   if (!CloseEnough(DailyProfitTarget, 0) )
      text = "Daily profit target = " + DoubleToStr(DailyProfitTarget, 2) + "    ";
   if (!CloseEnough(WeeklyProfitTarget, 0) )
      text = text + "Weekly profit target = " + DoubleToStr(WeeklyProfitTarget, 2);
   if (text != "")
      SM(text + NL);
   if (TradingDoneForTheDay)
      if (!TradingDoneForTheWeek)
         SM("I have reached my daily profit target and will not start any more cycles today." + NL);      
   if (TradingDoneForTheWeek)
      SM("I have reached my weekly profit target and will not start any more cycles this week." + NL);      
      
   SM("var:" + IntegerToString(TradingDoneForTheDay,5) + " var2:" + IntegerToString(TradingDoneForTheWeek,5));
   SM("target:"+IntegerToString(HaveWeReachedOurTarget(PERIOD_W1),10));
   SM("target:"+DoubleToString(AccumulatedProfit(PERIOD_W1),10));

   if (TradingPairs >= MaxPairsAllowed)
      SM("You are at your maximum pairs allowed to trade on this account. I shall not initiate any new trading cycles.");
   

I found that the function AccumulatedProfit(tf) returns the balance of my account.
I adjusted the function (added "&& OrderType()<6"):

Code: Select all

//Profit targets
double AccumulatedProfit(int tf)
{
   bool OnlyClosedOrders=False;
   datetime starttime = iTime(Symbol(), tf, 0);//Define a starting time based on the passed parameter
   double profit = 0; //initialize the profit to calculate
   
   //Iterate through the orders in History and calculate the accumulated profit/loss.
   for (int cc = OrdersHistoryTotal() -1; cc >= 0; cc--)
   {      
      if(BetterOrderSelect(cc, SELECT_BY_POS, MODE_HISTORY) )
         if(OrderCloseTime() >= starttime && OrderType()<6)         
            profit += (OrderProfit() + OrderSwap() + OrderCommission() );
   }//for (int cc = OrdersHistoryTotal() -1; cc >= 0; cc--)
   
   
   return(profit);
}//End double AccumulatedProfit(int tf)

Maybe somebody else have this problem too.

Now i will start to find why the ea just shows me only a part of the PairsToTrade
(AUDCAD,AUDCHF,AUDNZD,AUDJPY,AUDUSD,CADCHF,CADJPY,CHFJPY,EURAUD,EURCAD,
EURGBP,EURNZD,EURJPY,EURUSD,GBPJPY,GBPUSD,NZDUSD,NZDJPY,USDCAD,USDCHF,USDJPY)

Hi Banzak,
I forgot to explain in the User Guide that Awesome only shows those pairs whose SuperSlope and Peaky are in agreement.
That's what Steve posted some days ago.....and it explains why not all pairs traded are shown

Ok, i will watch why the major pairs have no signal yet.... maybe something with the historical data...

Thank you!

Hi Guys,

Something I am trying more long term.

I have long searched for something that could give me an indication of and entry and trade it, and I think awesome is getting somewhere close to it. I must admit that it is not entirely hands free and needs to have manual intervention at this point.

I love the idea of having a multi currency dashboard and more so trading different timeframes but I am putting a bit of a spin on this one. I want to use all four timeframes to select an entry at a given point and select different targets all off the one minute timeframe.

One thing we have to realize is that when we load an Ea it could be towards the end of a run and we give up hope quickly when we have losses. So why not try and synchronize the ea to fit in with market conditions?. I always believe that the weekly superslope is our trend direction and the daily superslope the entry point in the direction of the weekly superslope. Much of Bob's teachings have hinged upon this, Baluda brought superslope to us and Gary has given us the mobility to visually interpret Superslope on an individual currency pair basis ref Gary's superslope v2.2.

One thing I can never do away with is Rene's mutli time frame Maddy dash to give me an indication of when trend is starting to change longterm on the monthly time frame with the 5 lwma slow Ma set to open and the 5 Lwma set to close crossing over. When there is a cross over I click on the arrow and my default chart is opened and when I see that the daily superslope ties up with the the weekly superlope iow both have changed to the same colour I load that currency pair on Awesome.

So let me give visual examples with set files:

Maddy dash looking like this:

You will see that AUDNZD has crossed over on the monthly timeframe and we have a buy signal.

Forget about negative swaps as a AUDNZD dollar buy trade has a negative swap on my broker but I have loaded it for demo purposes.
After clicking on the AUDNZD arrow on the maddy dash my default chart is opened.
It looks like this.

AUDNZDDaily 080817.png

You will see that superslope has crossed on the weekly time frame as well as the daily time frame. Middle is the weekly superslope and bottom the daily superslope. Both have turned green and I immediately load AUDNZD onto Awesome. The bot did is work and immediatley opened trades as I had hoped for.

I currently only have Audnzd loaded on awesome and will progresively load more pairs as my above criteria is met.

My set file for Awesome v1c,
Trade 1 set at 100 pips
Trade 2 set at 200 pips
Trade 3 at 300 pips
Trade 4 open for discretion.

Awesome Longterm.set

The current trades open on Audnzd M1,M15,H1,H4. Please note...do not look at the timeframe you are trading but rather 1 mule, 15 mules, 1 Horse and eventually 4 Horses .

I hope that this stratgey will bring growth.It would be like watching paint dry or grass grow. Just remember that slow growing treas bear the best fruit.

Ask if any questions.
Cheers

Hi Leon

I have been running 'Holy Graily Bob 'n Dotty 'n Super Slope 'n Flying Buddha' for some time where I also take FB triggered trades in the direction of the Daily and Weekly SuperSlope. I have a TP and SL set to 2.5ATR

Results are looking encouraging so far, so I follow your Awesome setup with interest. As you rightly point out this is very slow trading so its going to take sometime to prove the concept

Cheers Richard

Thanks Leon. excellent stuff and thanks for sharing,

Hi Richard and Sara,

Richard thanks for pointing me towards your post. I somehow missed it. Your results are very encouraging and low drawdown even more re-assuring. Nice to be able to compare our results eventually.

You are very welcome Sara.

Cheers
Leon

Just something I want to point out from my post. You may want to change the ma slope period from 14 back to 7, just something I have been playing with from Dclayw inputs. I am still deciding on this. You will get more timeous entries if you do so however 14 period would be more in an established trend direction.

Cheers
