Now to my best of knowledge (and i am in constant communication with peter) there is no curve fitting whatsoever being done to the sistem . no new indicators , no new rules... there has been a misunderstanding with that lwma cross 2,15 4,15 ... but it really is 2,15 and it will remain 2,15 ... The work on the system being done at the moment is testing other pairs . Also i am trying to get as much speed possible from the indicators , that`s why all this recoding . Still , if any addons will come to this system, those addons will be in the form of new pairs . If any indy addons come , trust me , there will be the old indyes , just looking different and working faster . Well im inclining for more speed .

The confusion over the 2/15 cross is likely because the current template in Peter's first post uses a 4/15 cross. The relevant section of the template is:
The template from the 18th did use 2 and 15. You may want to verify that particular setting again. That's one of the reasons I suggested to Peter to rename the indicator over at FF.Code: Select all

The way you are using MACD is really another EMA cross, you could probably drop the MACD and use a variant of the 2/15 cross indicator, or just throw the two EMAs on the main chart.

... it started so very easy , and made a nice start... why should we mingle with something that gives us 20 pips daily . and is working as it is . .... but all of us get the same signals, regardless of which indy we use ... Why don't you use volatility-based stop calculations? Maybe for hand-executing Fratelli with indicators, you need to give people fixed values. But I always base stops on a volatility measure, such as ADR. That way you use the same rule for all pairs.MickyMouse wrote:But all this back testing is done with the same rules . tp and sl might be different because we have some high volatility pairs, and low volatility pairs ,
I think using a SL/TP based on volatility is a good idea. The EA has the option to set these already.garyfritz wrote:Why don't you use volatility-based stop calculations?
