Yea - looks fine now

BTW
I was scrolling through 1j and

bool IsThisPairTradable()

scrolled by. I remembered something i'd seen elsewhere

(Multibob http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3 ... 411#p24411)

the line

Code: Select all

   
if (c1open == 1 && c2open == 1) 

It was suggested to change this to

Code: Select all

   
if (c1open > 1 && c2open > 1) 
Maybe this does not apply here


Apologies if not!

Don't know Pat. The function is intended for a single pair, single trade ea. No idea how it works in a multi-pair, multi-trade ea.

It still needs looking at, but not got my coding head on right now.

:D

Hi Guys,
I have not done a runner, but my trade is still open since Monday NY open and in that time there has been 3 pairs that have hit SL :cry: ( i'm down by almost $4000.00 :evil: :cry: :twisted: )
The basket is still going 3 pairs have joined again this morning after London open. the basket is now at about $1000.00 profit i recon even if the basket hits it's TP it will be still below what it was on Monday.
i will place a detailed report when the basket has hit it's TP (hopefully today :D )

I'll touch base hopefully sooner than later.

Regards
JTH

The basket trade so far (as it looks right now) is a small setback but then no system is perfect.

Hi all,
Okay , here go's with Wolfie settings.

I have managed to get Wolfie to trade but i had to be very imaginative with the slope settings. So far, Wolfie is handing me my ass like Balls did a while back.
I'm using 15TF and lowered the entry points. I also made it a little more difficult for Wolfie to close a trade and took slopey settings for a closure all the way down to '0'. This will probably cause greater losses but i want Wolfie to stay in a position for longer than it has this morning. This did'nt work, i lost 10k this morning alone across the 4 pair charts.

Okay, so i'm taking the Slopey settings to the other side of the spectrum as shown in the pic, leaving all else as mentioned before and pretty much OOTB.

Hope this works out. Wolfie should easily be able to make up the losses if slope works correctly. Going to stick to 15M TF.
PS: Slope Values has the indi TF at 'M15'.


regards
cuzgeorge

Hi all,
guys, i've really taken a hiding from Wolfie and the settings posted above.
I've changed the 15M TF to 240TF for the HTF and waiting to see what happens. Wolfie definately is not shy at 15M but every trade was a loser. Very bad setting.

anyways, on we go with testing.
regards

cuzgeorge,

I think balls has been taking a beating this week.
Big losses for me running jth's system
I think jth was struggling too, see his post above/earlier

May not just a wolfie problem

I also had no winning trades with One-B Wolfie. I reviewed some of the previous losers and thought One-B might be firing the trades the wrong way. About an hour before N.Y. session, I loaded Cuz Bot 1A with his fifteen min. settings: MONSTER profits on JTH pairs. Some losers in there, but it climbed out of an 8% hole, and finished up 14% profit. I closed the last positions early. I could fix the time error by moving them forward three hours, but not sure what to think about the sudden reversal of fortunes.

Glenn,
i compared the text between Wolfie v1b and the cuzbot from Wolfie's v1a, attached, i made the changes to the TF so its hardcoded now to the 15M TF on HTF.
There is absolutely no difference from Steve's v1b of Wolfie, except that Baluda's time array was '//' commented out of the code. There is a small fix that Steve changed to fix the time-code implementation on v1b, but thats all commented out on the cuzbot, so would have no affect on the EA as a trader.

This version attached is basically exactly what v1b is, but with out the time restriction ability. So you wont be able to stop it from trading either, unless you turn off the EA switch, or remove the ea from your chart altogether.

The same settings you're suggesting is what i ran on Wolfiev1b from last night and i got nailed badly, but i was'nt using JTH's charts/pairs.

I wonder if this is a criminal difference or the pairs that JTH has suggested.?

will give it a shot and let you know.
regards
cuz

since we are testing, it is okay, but jth has setting of risk way too high. it can wipe out half his account in 1 series of losing baskets. it is 5% of account for 8 pairs, so that is 40% loss on just 1 full basket, but the basket will keep adding trades as pairs hit SL, so the potential for margin call gets very high.

When it is going good, his system will fly, but when it is going bad...the system may just crash.

We will see how jth makes it out of the DD. It's all just demo testing, so it will be interesting.

Hi guys,
You are right Patman I have had 6 losses at $-7562.90 but the basket did hit it's TP for $3939.00 today.
The total was still a loss of $-3623.90 but not too bad though all in all. I did raise the basket TP to 15% :roll:
The ones that were losses, I started the ea for these again at London open when that came around.
Enclosed is the detailed report. as it stands now I have still doubled the account in about a month so to me that's still a huge win. we just have to see what the future hold for this system.
Next week i shall filter out the worst hit pairs and replace them with other pairs

Regards
JTH :D :D :D ;)
