Peaky on Steroids

[Gertje]

Does this version contain Gertje's ideas from earlier?

Steve, all,

As much as I would love to tell otherwise, whatever I try, I can't beat the original Peaky on Steroids.

Before the holiday season, I send Steve a list of the things I do to get the gridbased orders within PoS 6th.
Steve managed to get my ludicrus ideas coded, and send it to me to test it.
I than managed to blow one demo after the other.

In the past weeks, with the continued USD and NZD runs, I nearly lost my live account [with the 10K profit in it] trading the gridbased entries. Only because I was able to deposit more in the account did I manage to dodge a MarginCall. It was a close call.

Right now I'm still facing 30+% DD on the live account, this includes the additional deposit.
The last few days I was able to close some positions, giving away some of the hard earned profits.
Margin levels are getting into saver territory now.

My PoS demo though did have "some" DD like 20-25% last week, and was able to close a few positions as well yesterday.
Not for a loss however, but for a whopping 7+% profit.....
DD on the demo is now 0,5 [one HALF] %, and more profit is coming soon, seeing the state of things at the moment.
Over the last 14 months, the averige monthly profit is 17.7% but more important, DD has been low.
Much lower at least than on any other EA or version I have seen before.

I think I don't need to explain that I stick to the PoS with the 4 setfiles once I manage to clear all the pairs that are now in heavy DD, and have a more peacefull life besides trading [and work].

.......
I setteld with dollup;
0 < 150 dollup 0.01/1.600
150 < 250 dollup 0.01/2.500
250 < 350 dollup 0.01/3.333
350 > dollup 0.01/5.000

Hey Gertje,

Fantastic, After you said I was missing history. I started looking at the 6th indi parameters. After changing the Barcount I now see the same value that you have.

Do you change the MarketDistancePips parameter for the different sets. As above I only see the 100, 150 and 200. On FXTestify I can only see one of your set files. Which is the 150 value.

Jim

There should be 4: 50, 100, 150 and 200.

Hi Gertje. I'm preparing different platforms to start them all together, and among them there will be the latest version of Peaky flanked by the old 1e with the setfiles. Based on these statements, I tried to rebuild the current 4 setfiles, and I wonder if you'd be so kind to tell me if they make sense.

Thanks ! :hi:

To everyone following this thread, I'm getting swamped by PM's asking for settings, setfiles and such.
It is very time consuming to add all the files to a PM again and again, I'm sorry.

The thread contains all the info [and even the setfiles I believe], you should be able to work it out.

Yesterday I arrived at a point in my FX-career where I have never been before....

The now 14 month old demo reached 100K, 10 times the starting balance !
Although it is in bigger DD right now [like 35%], I still see it going forward.

Wonderful results Gertje, congratulations.

Well done Gertje :hi:


Is this account running fully auto?
I noticed that the NZDJPY had a much higher profit.

Do you know the reason?
Were you trading bigger lot size?

cheers

Is this account running fully auto?

Yes, since mid december 2017 is has run without interference.

I noticed that the ZDJPY had a much higher profit.

Do you know the reason?
Were you trading bigger lot size?

The NZDJPY pair had a few big baskets closing for profit.
It is in the MDP = <150 group, but recently extended it's 6th. The current dollup is 0.01/$1.600
I didn't move it to the other group yet, because after the last basket closed, a new trade opened almost immediately on the retrace.

Nice work Gertje

I had this pair excluded from my demo testing because I didn't want too much JPY exposure
but I will now take a closer look at it.

Well done Gertje!!

I have been watching this for months, very good work.

Might be an idea to consider working out a formula for reducing the trade size per dollop as the account grows. Your equity is growing exponentially as you get more and more money in the account but your risk being taken seem to be growing faster relative to the profits made.
