Hi Guys

Sorry man I should have updated you I have since set my lookback to 240 minutes....change it yourself if you wish to do so otherwise here is my indicator setfile

Bismarck you must remember that I have other instances of mad trader running:
15 min stack
5 min ,15 min and 1 hr stochs
5 & 15 min Hgi
and so on ...You can make up as many setfiles as you like and load mad trader 1.1 ea on different charts with your settings.
Usually I weed out the bad performers after a week or so..

My best performer this week has been 15 min stack with exactly the same settings but just change the ma timeframe to 15 minutes on mad trader 1.1
Hope this helps
Tc

WaveG,

understood. One dashboard can by used by many madtrader..as long as you have different comments. Just that my mptm too would override the comments with its own when it start to work on those open orders..

Anyway, i've got my new instance all set, with history loaded. Glad that the EA part is given with Empty4 so i can stuff in own filters. Will start with one trading EA first..

thx for the useful postings.

Hi All,

What's the meaning of lot size per 100 pips ATR? I enter 0.03 here and it enter a trade of 0.09 in AUDNZD.

The idea of this is to use a larger lot size for pairs that move little and a smaller lot size for pairs that move a lot. The value entered for the LotSize parameter, would represent the lot size the EA would use for a pair that has a 14-day daily ATR of 100.0. For a pair with an ATR of say 75.0, it would use the given value, multiplied by (100.0 / 75.0) and for a pair with an ATR of 150.0, it would use the given value times ( 100.0 / 150.0 ).

It does surprise me that it tripled your given lot size of 0.03 for AUDNZD, as per my calculations, the 14-day daily ATR of AUDNZD is close to 100.0. Can this be a data problem on your side? If you haven't loaded sufficient history data for AUDNZD the ATR can be wrong.

Just a note for any one using my 5 min ma stack set you may want to look at increasing the Lwmas 4 and 8 to 4 and 21 just had a eurjpy buy trade close at 10 pips loss because the ma's crossed back down..I feel it could have run a bit longer nevertheless my 5 min stack trades are still running at 476 pips since the 26th,,,chugging along despite the regular trade closes. anyway will play with this next week...

Needles to say I am extremely happy..... :yahoo: almost 2000 pips open and closed trades in 3 days with minimal drawdown...

By the way I am allready trading the 1hour stochs set the first one I posted maddy V 1.7 ma 5 t/frame set ....on my live account and it is outperforming my own manual trades...I had a competition with the robot but the robot beat me..what more can I ask for :)

Thanks again Rene and George..

Have a great weekend

A big round of applause for Wavegarrick :clap: :clap: :clap: Creating a trading tool with a lot of bells and whistles is the easy bit. Making it work profitably in this heartless world called Forex is what counts. Wavegarrick has succeeded in that and he is the unsung hero here.
