Thanks

The List of Trades until Friday 10 February 2012 is attached. P/L is in 1/10 pips; USDJPY 1/100 pips. Aussie did best, Loonie the worst.

Going forward the next step are to:
• test on Empty4;
• put in a directional filter.

Hanover is good, and Peter is to be congratulated on very effectively using it, and I am grateful for him assisting me in its use. But the consensus seems to be to look for something less resource hungry.

Next update end of the trading week.

That is many hours of hard work you are putting in, Khalid.

Keep up the good work !

Peter

Peter,

MultiCharts is easy.

Not been able to make the new strategy variation functional on Empty4.

Therefore, continuing on MultiCharts.

The settings are OOTB, buy/sell above/below 100 SMA.

Put 100 SMA on your H4 charts. Make three templates for buy, sell and stop trading.

If price is above 100 SMA, buy. If price is below 100 SMA, sell. If price is moving sideways with SMA flat, then stop trading. If and when the new update to Swingone is available, then you will be able to automate this by setting the AllAverage filter to 100 SMA.

The principle is very similar to a thread on FF by Hugh Briss using Stochs and Heiken Ashi candles. Trade only in the direction of the 100 SMA. His thread has a five star rating on FF and has quite a following.

I have cut and paste the trend detection module code from Graeme ea to Swingone. It compiled alright and we shall see if it sends any trades.

I have set the AllAverage trend filter using 100 SMA.

Meanwhile, the Alpai demo using manual buy/sell using 100 SMA as a guide is up 7.1%.

Yes, Peter, I have also found there is absolutely no need for Hanover.

Trading on the FXDD demo is suspended at the moment, and the account balance is still up 7.8%.

We need to fix the problem of the EA not setting the stop loss. Other than that, there are no other major problems.

The issue of the trend filter can be overcome by manually setting the ea to trade long or short with reference to the 100 sma. As it is trading on H4 TF, you only need to check the charts occasionally to set the direction of the trade.

Peter,

Thank you.

More great results.

Please kindly post the log(s) for the occasions the Stop did not work.
