The Beast stirs. He's got a slope.

Look at my myfxbook link, I got pretty good return by applying the beast to H4 chart.

Hi
Could you share your set ?
Thx

Just apply to H4 chart instead of H1 and no whitebox trading.

Xlitang,
i dont know if running on 4hr is a good idea. From what i understand, doing so messes up the beasts calculations, according to the userguide. I would'nt mind taking some advice here from more experienced users of the beast. ANyone?

Also, i looked at your results and they look very good, but the game is not over until the open positions are closed. You have far too high DD on your open positions at the mo.
You results are based on closed positions and dont take into account the open positions, which are losing $1252 AS OF RIGHT NOW.

youre overall profit is $2834, which is very good and not a bad result considering the open positions. My concern is if the DD should continue with the current ranging market.

My results are not so good with SB, and i'm trying to see how to manage the DD manually, especially after L3. Its very interesting the way SBeast takes over my manual trades, so still trying to get my head around that on 1hr charts though.

regards and hope the testing keeps going for this EA.

Paul,
sounds like you dont have enough funds in the account for the position the EA wants to take. Check the lot size and also if you are trying to use % of account for lot size. And then off-course most importantly, how much benjamins you got in the account. MoneyManagement.

All,

I just started the beast and I am impressed by the info shown on my screen.

It opened a trade and it is going in the right direction...

however I got a error.....

Setting of breakeven SL EURAUD ticket no 7770307 failed with error (130): invalid stops

Could anybody help , as I didn't find the obvious answer in the settings.


Thnx in advance!

Generaal, bliksem,
As far as i know we all use MPTM to manage trades when this happens, although SB doesnt have a tokoloshi in the code somewhere like some of the other slope EA's. I would suggest you check the spread on your crim that you follow the two times the spread rule if you are using SL and TP settings, otherwise, try other pairs without large spreads. EG, AUD and NZD spreads can be horrific with some crims. dont forget, i think its 1hr charts you should be on, unless you;re experimenting.

I suspect you are on a low TF and therfore the lines Beast draws for your SL and TP points might be too close for EURAUD.

Thanks Guys,
ok Im using it on the hour chart, 0.01 for lot size. max trade set to 1, max open pairs set to 1.

I have notice that sometimes it goes to the whole info set on the screen then later on it goes to that statement.

I have ran the script that downloads the history. but I keep getting this error that says I have less than 100 bars of history. The Script seems to be working so I do not know what else to do.
