This might be à good option, we'll discuss this!blahn wrote:How about using jivas bbands stop code to lock in profits? Here's an example alongside your ea. the last trade i took on H1 went way up, and then tanked back down even with candlestick trailing, close on color change, etc. But if we had bbands as in the pic, the stop would have followed the ma curve all the way up to the pivot point and held my tp there.
It looks good on the chart now, but unfortunately not when trading live. The big dots aren't actually finalised until after the close of the bar after the big dot, by which time the price would have moved considerably.blahn wrote:How about using jivas bbands stop code to lock in profits?

Were these test done with ootb settings?DarrenTeo wrote:I did a backtest (99% quality) on EURUSD for the whole of 2010 on 15 min, 1 hr, 4 hr, and daily TF.
Best result on daily: net profit more than 20% and drawdown less than 10%. Good result in my opinion.
I will test 2009 and 2008.
Tests were done with the latest EA in the first post and with default settings.willmalou wrote:Were these test done with ootb settings?DarrenTeo wrote:I did a backtest (99% quality) on EURUSD for the whole of 2010 on 15 min, 1 hr, 4 hr, and daily TF.

Change risk percent to 0 mate then it should only open 0.01 lotsizes!DarrenTeo wrote:Tests were done with the latest EA in the first post and with default settings.willmalou wrote:Were these test done with ootb settings?DarrenTeo wrote:I did a backtest (99% quality) on EURUSD for the whole of 2010 on 15 min, 1 hr, 4 hr, and daily TF.

But I do not understand why the lot sizes are not kept constant. I did not enable any recovery.
I have had also seen these types of issues with version 1.38 that I do not have in version 1.33, which is why I am running 1.33 and not 1.38. I only wish, that I had a copy of 1.35 for testing. My only suggestion is that you run 1.33 and 1.38 side by side and see what happens.spyderman wrote:Weird activity this morning. I had several trades open up that were totally backwards. Buy orders when candles were all well below MA.
