Would you like to take the challenge and make a "slimmer" version of BASA ?
The current version takes wayyyy too long to backtest.

Cheers

Hi SpiderX, this is off topic to 3 Little Pigs but is this your MTF version you are referring to?
I don't really understand the coding changes you have made (not meaning in relation to the strategy) but have noticed that your version is much more cpu intensive than the BASA that Steve has coded.

Perhaps some of your changes need more resources? Not sure but thought I would mention it.

NB. I have also copy/pasted this over in the BASA thread so we don't fill this thread with BASA discussions

Cheers

Hi Shelley,

Just checked through and found a possible bug in the latest version with WapenCandlesClose set to 0, possibly resulting in higher computation.

New version 2s2 mtf now at:
http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3 ... 151#p83151
Code: Select all
           else if(WapenCloseCandles>0 && shift == WapenCloseCandles)
Added an additional condition checking on WapenCloseCandles to make sure it activates only when it is valued more than 0.

Cheers

Thanks SpiderX, I'll give it a go

Hi Shelley That is quite unlikely as the changes are nothing drastic, but will run through them and try the original basa on protrader when I get to my com. Cheers

BASA still kicking ass...the drop was my fault...had PC issue, so the EA trades went unattended for half a day! It is a great EA...love it! By the way, sorry Steve for calling you an "old fart" in fxaw!

By the way, sorry Steve for calling you an "old fart" in fxaw! That's great to hear fchaman BASA for me in Dec, finished about flat...I had a couple of losing trades early in the month and then the last week or so of Dec was really good and just about made up all the losses. I think I finished the year (live trading since end August) at approx + 14% Jan hasn't been so great for me though, probably down a little bit...I'm glad I've left it to run without interference but the stagnant market hasn't really been ideal (which I'm not surprised about). Let's see what the rest of January brings for us

This is probably a question for SpiderX, but would appreciate anyone's help on this: When using the ea on a lower timeframe does the 'moving average stacking' filter work or is it fixed to the 4h timeframe? If so, is there any way of changing this ... sorry I'm a non coder!

Hi Lee, Stacking is hard coded to the H4 timeframe, you could change it, but if you were looking for a lower timeframe, I've found it's a waste of time. Andy

Andy, Thanks ... Presumed as much. When you say its a waste of time do you mean that you've found it not to be profitable? Lee

Yes, lower timeframes are just noise, H4 is just about ok.

All times are UTC	Page 101 of 120
