Hello Steve, Gertje, All. :hi:

I want to share my experience so far demo testing Pos as today it strike my attention it have reached quite impressive results.
The demo I here present was started on Nov 28 2017, initial balance of 500EUR, my own PoS settings.
On the 17th of December, seeing that my settings were leading nowhere, instead of closing the account I nuclearized all position; balance was now 463.89EUR.

A month or so earlier, Gertje was kind enough to share his set files with us as well as the philosophy behind his choices; results seems to be consistent and positive, so I thought why not give it a go.
On the same 17th I then configured Gertje PoS v1e mad100/150/200 H4-D1 set files just to see how it performed.
The demo is still rolling today and following are the demo results...

Here is the account in its entirety, including my initial test from Nov 28 till Dec 17

Here I zoom in to show you my failure, the leftover capital after nuclearizing and the first month of testing Gertje's set files

See how on Jan 10th 2018 the balance already recovered everything that I had lost and a bit more

Lots of green on those chart bars, one of them showing a stunning 24% profit

The only scary time I had so far

Equity goes down to almost 50% of balance :uff:
PoS_6.JPG
Using the Custom Analysis option I set the start date to Gertje's set files demo startup date

From Dec 17th 2017 until today May 22nd 2018, account balance has grown to an outstanding 509%
Equity is up 545.66% as I write and going strong.
:cheer:

Well done!
:hi:

Do realize that especially the pairs with higher MDP will gain less compared to the accountsize in the future due to the dollup entered.

Still not to shabby. :smile:

Hi Gerji. :
Thank you for your inputs and setfile.

I'm on the second demo testing POS with your setfile. The first demo witch run out, was up almost %10 before it was closed .
Although it went up around %14 at one stage before a couple of pair turned around and gave back about 300 pips on 2 of them. I wonder if you have any progress on the following testing the ADR, you mentioned last week.

One thing that might be worth looking at is grouping the pairs by ADR instead of 6th-distance.
I'm testing setting 3 additional pendings at the MDP distance, so the recovery closes the lot when the 4th pending is triggered. This will happen before the current TP-line, and generate at least double the amount of pips size.[/quote]


Thanks.

Closed as in discontinued by the broker? Why? I think that Global Prime allows demo's to run forever, worth checking?

I never had the intention to try grouping the pairs by ADR, just made the suggestion for someone who needed to tinker with it.

The 4 pendngs I'm still testing, but it doesn't make much difference till now.

I absolutely absolutely love this EA, and am trading it live on my account since a few weeks.
I mix the entry of PoS with manual trading [therefor no magic# or comment is used in the EA] up till the halfway mark of the 6th lines.

Hi Guys,

Something I am playing with as a spin off to Gertje's setfile. Peaky on Steroids on the daily timeframe undoubtedly has given me the best returns. My idea is to have exactly the same entry criteria with peaky on the daily time frame 1682 candle lookback on four trading time frames. First trading time frame take profit 25 pips, second 50 pips, 3rd 100 pips and finally 200 pips using all timeframes with peaky on the daily time frame. All other settings remain exactly the same as Gertjes settings.

Simplified, all 4 entries will be at exactly the same price with 4 different take profits.

Cheers
Leon

Interesting!
How many signals do you get?

P.S. How about lotsizing?

We will watch with interest Leon. Good luck. Not that luck plays a part these days - it is merely better to have it than not.

While walking the dog, I gave it some thought.
Instead of scaling out like you do, one could scale in.
Leave the TP as they are, but for the 25TP, add 75 to the “bufferpips”, for the 50TP add 50,and for the 75TP add 25.

This way the trades will be spread 25pips apart, and TP and the exact same spot.
Now you don’t have 4 trades going against you initially, but only one.

Time to setup a new demo I guess......
