Holy Graily Bob's Candle Power

Barcode · Post by **Barcode** » Sat Nov 25, 2017 11:49 pm

Results for last week using V1a and same set file. Lousy week, basically wiped out last weeks profit. Broker is Global Prime and trading was 24 hours a day on 1m charts for .01 lots. Results are after all opened trades were closed. I stopped trading Friday 5 hours before NY close and closed all open trades 1 hour before close.

I'll keep it running for another couple of weeks but need to find a way to stop pairs like EURAUD from losing 1100+ pips. Last week GBPAUD lost 1848 pips but the other currencies covered it. This week too many pairs had losses.

EDIT: I think I'm fast coming to the conclusion that the 1m chart is a no no. I thought 28 pairs may cancel out the problems but not so.

Hi,
I had some strange behaviour today. When I came back home I checked my terminal and I had 16 trades closed with no reason with a demo-money loss of 140 USD. I checked the experts log. Before the closing I got tons of 133 errors while HGBCP tried to modify an order. It did this almost every ms. Then after a a few minutes it had closed all my GBPJPY positions. I am still using TJ SL200 set with some minor modifications.
It´s a demo account with GP. HGBCP is working nicely with good profit, so it will bring the losses back, but trading life and getting this glitch would be a pain in the ass.
Anybody noticed similar behaviour?

Error 133 is "Trade is disabled"

Cannot help you more than that. You could have found that out for yourself - Google is quite useful from time to time. Guess how I found it.

In response to your follow up question to all this: how the hell should I know - it is your crapform not mine.

Hi all

Been running HGBCP (TJFs setfile) on GBPJPY and EURUSD for a while and still going strong (have been updating EA as posted by Steve)

Couple of people have PMed me asking for the TJF setfile I am using so please find attached

Note that for just two pairs (GBPJPY and EURUSD @ 0.01 Lots) the DD has been as low as -$400 and averages around -$250. Therefore you will need a reasonable amount of capital to trade this system. However the gains currently are around $500 per month (I can definitely live with that!).

I must say that I am really enjoying this trading style. The grid trading with hedging and offseting are a true inspiration which keeps the buy/sell order grid close to the current price action

A huge thanks to Steve and TJF for developing this fantastic EA

What would you suggest as a minimum balance/ dollup for the attached setfile?

BarCode, most excellent!

Steve, the directional filters have ignited my mental gray matter and it's smoldering like a stack of burning tires. You've given me some great ideas on how combine HGI, CP and my ABC setups.

Hi Gerte

Its only been a month of data, so no guarantees, but I would be looking to have around $2.5-3k per pair with 0.01lots.

So for GBPJPY and EURUSD with $5k capital, the max DD has been around 8% and the return per month is around 10%

Cheers Richard

Okay, thanks.
I loaded it yesterday on the mentioned 2 pairs and added GBPNZD to it, just to see it's behaviour.
GBPNZD alone earns as much as the other 2 together, the future will tell if the DD is there to match.

During the evening, I noticed that nearly every trade closes shortly after the 1st jump of the SL, averaging 20 pips.
Did you ever try to just enter a 20 pip TP, and no BE/ JS? This might help with the speed of the totall Empty4 install.
Maybe this screws up the offsetting, I need to find out how that works on this one.

Thanks for the setfile, this gives me a startingpoint to work from.
