PoS also can get into drawdown.

Between 25 and 36% depending on which numbers you use in Gertje's account.

4% dd is very little.

Post subject:  Awesome + SS version 1B cannot set timer
Hi,

I thought to start another GP demo with different settings but It get stuck on " initialising, please wait.." and an error "cannot set timer (10) followed with Initialized.
error.PNG
I am using 1b so I am able to compare it with the other demo's. Any suggestions why it is hanging? could this because of this time error?
Awe SS_1B with posSwap and thirdTimeframe and GBPCAD 18V10.set

As the EA is driven by a timer and the timer can not be started, the EA does nothing. If you are running your demo on a VPS, you have probably run out of resources (handles).

Thanks Tomele! Yes it is on a VPS, besides upgrading the VPS is there anything to change this for the better?

If you expect to close the same day, then this setting doesn't make sense.

EDIT: +1.26% today with all pairs, including neg. swap direction. I changed to 0.01/$666 in the morning + neg. swap direction and it meant extra trades coming in at 0.02 lots.
Maybe there is an edge with "positive swap direction".. big lots players with swing trading might be looking for trades with positive swap, which can help our micro lots.. :smile:
Could be.

Maybe due to the fewer trades using positive swap direction the EA needs higher lots to close at 1% every day.

As far as I know, this can be an issue for VPSs with MS server as operating system. What is your operating system on the VPS?

I'm in large drawdown, 30 %. I'm stuck since 30 may.

But my baskets open at 8:00 GMT, so C1borg if your baskets closed and profit, you see the OPEN HOUR IS VERY IMPORTANT.
From my own myfx it seems the time from 0100 onwards is better (this is GMT+3 IC server time n my vps=IC server time to avoid confusion). Try not to include 00.00-00.30 as prices are not very liquid and can cause poor fills. If you set from 0100 onwards then try what c1borg suggest eliminate the top 4 non performing pairs.
From Thu 7/jun I still hv a floating dd of 14+%. I was considering whether trading 5m + 15m might have contributed to this higher dd%. If others have traded with eg 1H as well as other timing, pls share your results perhaps we can tune EA to reduce the dd%. But awss is a tenacious gal, she will hold her trades till she get there with her basket profit target.

Excellent analysis both my Demo's are in drawdown atm the EA usually recovers up to as much as 3 days later. I have to leave V3 alone as a datum point remember in post 1
I have attached the EA for everyone to try and my original V3 setfile as I would like to see if anyone can match or better my results using this EA.
it could go bust and still amazes me it has got to 50 days. I can see already it needs tinkering to make it hands free and there are many important variables to try, thats the purpose of the DB. Important variables to try are imo
  • Start time
    Sluper Slope settings
    Dollup
    Recovery
    Gaps between orders
    Amount of orders
    Margin % before no further trades
    Entry point (I have seen bad entry points using the Budha)
    etc...
My live a/c is not in trouble atm and moving towards daily basket close as I write this, why? Its because I manually intervene :smile: Just one good feature I have spotted is if you remove the worst performing trade its replaced by another usually better one. Then the EA keeps shutting baskets until target is reached. :clap:

So keep up the good work :good:

Yop guys,

Just to remind that it could be risky, my demo starts to work at 8 am GMT, and i'm stuck with a drawdown of 50 % from 30 may 2018, like in fxtestify. I'm using c1borg set file.

So the start time is ESSENTIAL.
All times are UTC Page 26 of 40
