Gann SQ9 EA

[AG2012]

Hi Ken.
Running on H1, if you're using the jumping stop, try between 15 - 30 pips. You'll have to use trial and error to see what works best for you.
Sorry I don't have a better answer for you at this time brother.

Best wishes,
AG

P.S.
A warm hello to all, and happy pippin'

AG2012,

Thank you tremendously for your efforts on this system, and
Thank you Mr. Hopwood for being such a generous and intelligent person.
This forum is such an exciting place to be!

I have had great results with your SQ9v4.4RSI.
Testing from 6/18 to 6/28, I'm up 892 pips on demo, trading 11 pairs.
This is with default settings with .1 ($1) lot on default settings (1 hour timeframe).
I am no coder, but I'm happy to report positive results.

I can't wait to see how this progresses.

Regards,
pipguy

I've been testing the 4.4 RSI, and there may be a problem with the stop loss. My EURAUD trade went -360 pips against me but didn't close. This is with having the hidden stop loss at the default of 300. Has anyone demoing this version had a pair hit its stop loss?

I do recall Steve saying some people have had problems with the stealth stops and take profits on various criminals, so maybe that is what I'm running into. I can likely just change it to false, and put in a SL at the top to make my SL work properly. ...Hmm, after trying to do this, the SL doesn't close the trade either.

I'm testing 4.4 RSI and also had to close a EURUSD trade manually as it went 360 pips against me...
Nonetheless great results so far on every pair I used it.

Since this holds losing trades seemingly forever, it might be wise to introduce a swap filter like on the Baluda auto-trader:

"Swap filter
Newbies may not know that negative swap on CAD, NZD, AUD pairs is crippling. The xxxPairsPositiveOnly inputs are there to eliminate shorting these pairs. When you look on a chart and view a long-term trend on a high timescale, all you see is a yummy movement that raised shed-loads of pips for those who stayed with it.

What it does not highlight so well are those long periods of consolidation where the market ranges around for days, sometimes weeks before taking off again. All through these consolidation periods, the criminal level of swap is massacring your profits.

The positive swap from a buy is wonderful. I love an ADUxxx buy."

Any updates on this one?

Since the default SL value is 0 in 4.4SE, what will be the default internal SL of this EA?

Also, what would be the suggested SL, in general?

I have run this EA both on MIG Bank & Cowboy IBFX Australia. Only MIG Bank has trades but not Cowboy IBFX Australia. I know Steve has bad experiences with Cowboy IBFX. Does this means that this EA is not usable with Cowboy IBFX? Please advice. Many thanks.
