EA Win on EURUSD — Eventually got something from this one. Lucky again I think. (actually I jumped the gun, 1/2 is still in, but BE means it won't lose) 8 from 10.

Thanks Dani, I'm currently at the stage of checking to see what effect physical things such as volume, IB size, TP point, etc. have on the profit/loss ratio. When I've got a feel for those, then I can start to try and identify losing trades via ...

EA Loss on EURJPY — Another suckered trade on EURJPY. 6 Wins on 8 Trades. Actually, this looks like it may have been avoided as it appears to have incorrectly taken spread into account. The High doesn't seem to hit the IB. I need to check ...

Good question. The EA uses a magic number internally and only handles orders on its own chart currency. So running on multiple currencies is fine. However, if you run it on two charts using the same currency, say you want to do 30M and 1H at the ...

Inside Bar Trading RevisitedI've recompiled the EA so that the defaults are the ones that have proven to be best during testing so far. The ...

Fontu, just be careful with the EA - it is dumb, it does no analysis to see if the trade will be good or not. Don't use it on a live account, it WILL lose you money as the Risk/Reward is about 4:1 or more. You might have many winners, but the losers ...

EA Status — So to recap. The EA does not check whether an IB is valid or not. I'm currently trying to see what effect various settings have on the win ratio, maintaining profit will come later as we try to reduce losing trades. Taken ...

EA Win on EURJPY — Scraped a win on this one. Would have lost if I was using the full ATR before taking profit. 4 for 4.

Thanks Gustav for the IB thread on BabyPips. I'll read this and compare it to the Pure IB technique. The stochastic mention has already interested me as it's not readily discussed in the pure IB forum.

EA Win on USDCAD — Another win, but I really need to sort out trend trailing. Even a trailing SL would have netted double the profit.

EA Win — Running the EA on the demo, even though it's incomplete. Got it's first 'win' on EURUSD.

Thanks, I shall bear this in mind when writing the exit strategy for the EA. My initial attempts at using a trailing stop don't really get the best out of major trends, as they go back and forth whilst trending and hit the SL before the trends ...

Thanks sebby. Do you set up on the 4HR IBs, or use the 30M IBs? Also, after taking 20pips, do you reset the SL to your break even? I'm always looking for good exit points and an MA may be something I can use in the EA.

Using IBs on Different Timescales — The pure IB method uses a 30 minute timescale. What effect do other timescales have? Running the EA we get: EURUSD 1M 1267 trades, 912 wins (71%), -£134.85 EURUSD 5M 2694 trades, 2109 wins (78%), -£391.19 ...

Restricting Trades By IB Size — So what happens if we restrict trades based upon the size of the IB (i.e. the High/Low range when an IB is formed)? I was curious to see if there was any correlation between IB size and winning trades. Here are ...
