Hi Guys,
I have changed the riskpercentage to 1% for the 5 pairs, as I thought the basket was very low even with the high pips that were created. If i had left the riskpercentage at 5% the basket would have hit it's TP of 15% yesterday.
So i closed the pairs this morning with a profit of $453.04
I have now increased the riskpercentage to 3% which will give me a better chance to reach the basket TP.
We wiil see what will happen.
Regards
JTH :D :D ;)

I returned the profits to the forex gods, with 15 min. slope. 60min. slope was no better. Now returning to 1440, where it should trade less often, but perhaps with more winners.

Had some repetative opens and closes in the lower TF's on Wolfie. Lost a lot from the accounts but hoping to stabilise soon.

Thank you.

EDIT: I loaded the Forced History script and the latest Wolfie version. Still opening positions and immediately closing for a loss of the spread. Not sure why.

I have a few problems trying to run it:


How works "pipshiddenformcriminals"? This is a hidden stop? A put 1 and it will close the trade 1 + spread?


My broker is not ECN, plus i did not checked "CriminalECN", but the EA shows "Criminal ECN: True". Why it happens?

In "morning hours" i changed to start 4, end 13, but the EA immediatly oppened a trade after clking in "ok'. Evening hours are 0 and 0. I want to trade only from 4 to 13 local time.

Last question: if i put this EA in a 5 min chart it will trade 5 min signals, correct?


Thanks in advance and sorry for my bad English.

Best regards.

Hi all,
okay, ive taken a pounding messing around with Wolfie and Balls, so here's the new game-plan.
I know JTH has the basket strategy covered so i'll go for the once a day shot and see if this works.
Wolfeman and i discussed an observation and i'm going to try give it a go from what i see on my GMT+2 times.

3 eurusd charts, 1 for the latest Wolfie, one for Balls v1g, and one for Balls v1k. V1g and v1k should take positions opposite to each other. sort of a hedge, and i will see if BE and JS do their jobs. They have been doing so as this is how they were programmed. I will not be using SL but will close the positions manually if i see there is no chance of recovery in any way. After this test i will work out the best setting for SL or if we bring MPTM into the picture.

Mostly OOTB except for the trading time. I'm going to use my local 12, high-noon.

will be updating fxpage thingy as well as the % that you see. New test here so no need to be purged by old stats.

regards and happy pipping,
cuz

Wolfie Observations:
Angle + value= Zero trades.
Angle+ No value= Bonkers on/off losing trades.
Value+ No Angle at slope 1440= No trades.
Value+ No Angle at slope 1 = One very nice EU trade that closed when trend began ranging for profit of 2.6 percent.

Conclusions: LUC followed Angle to the party.

Hi guys,
Just to keep you guys up to date, as I mentioned i changed the riskpercentage from 1% to 3%.
as you know I am testing 2 different basket TP one is 15% and the other is 5%.
I started this on Tuesday.
yesterday the 5% basket was hit for $502.42 on a demo account of $10,000. (result attached)
Restarted the EA this morning so far only 2 trades are trading.

The 15% basket is still going no losses but no wins either.

Early thoughts is: Smaller bites at the pie might be a quicker way to finish :o

Regards
JTH :D :D ;)

I would be grateful if someone wich are experienced with this EA answer these simple questions.

Which broker are you using? I haven't used this EA but I don't think you can have morning hours = 13. Try using morning hours 4 to 12 and evening hours 12 to 13.
