Hi Orion, Not your fault with the reactive sets, Orion. I sent those to you way to late on Sunday and with not enough explanation. I'll take the blame. You are doing a great job managing the testing. Rick

Hi FalioWino, Could you please post your set file? Rick

Hi Matt, Not difficult at all. Let's get creative with our MM and see what we can accomplish. The demo's have come back nicely. We are getting some good data as to what works best. And these are just with my backtest settings. We have more tuning to ...

Hi Matt, We survived pretty well. A few more tweaks ans a bit more MM (the scale out in loss will make a big difference, as it will handle these really quick moves). Also, I am thinking that the Legacy flag for the PSAR would have proved useful. I ...

More on fast markets. When I sent Orion the set files, I sent 2 groups. One used the non-reactive settings and the other was a hybrid of reactive entry and standard exit. It was suggested by Matt's settings. We didn't have enough testers to ...

Supernovae, Next week we will have trail out in loss. This will grteatly help us in fast moving markets like today. It will protect us from a fast trend breakdown. I'm kicking myself for not having it ready this week as we are in a wild market and ...

Hi Orion and Wolfe, We are doing better. The Yen is trying to nail us, but many of our MM strategies are helping nicely. The next round will help even more. The scale out in loss will greatly reduce risk when the trend goes against us. The big ...

Hi Orion, Most EA's don't calculate risk properly. They take n% of the current balance or equity, but the correct calculation of risk needs to be based on maximum allowable loss. So the real risk calculation needs to take the stoploss into account. ...

Beta 14 — Hi All, Beta 14 was released a few posts ago and we should run with that this week. I am currently working on: 1. Scale out in loss 2. The final position of the scale out in profit will be allowed to continue with a trailing stop of ...

Hi Matt, This PSAR bug has really been annoying me I added code to test for digits in the pair, but I have been staring at the code and I believe the problem is actually that the PSAR value is below the Ask for shorts. I will adust for the spread ...

Thanks, Carol! I'm still not sure I've fixed the PSAR and Matt will very unhappy if I don't Rick

To All Testers, We had a good week, but I see some issues all of which I believe we can address. Here are my observations: 1. The MM made a big difference. All of the MM methods seemed to help except the PSAR based ones. I think I have a bug in ...

Sigh. Just missed it. I decided to skip 13. Why risk it Rick

Hi Matt, Try this beta 14 version. Please place it on one of the charts that is running a beta 12 and let's see if it updates the stop. Rick

Hi Matt, I think I found the bug with the E/J. Would you like to try a test before the market closes? Let's leave the WHC. I need to handle that situation. Dang 1/10 pips! Sigh. Rick
- rmyers replied Mar 7, 2008
Dang! That E/J wrong price seems like a bug. I will look. Rick

Hi Matt, Could you please look at the experts tab? If the PSAR was erroring, it would show there. I am extremely pleased to hear your live account is positive. Rick

Hi Matt, The SN PSAR doesn't use the built-in MT4PSAR (though I will switch it to do so). The stop is at the D1 ATR * 2 which is how the risk is set up for 3%. The stops should have already been moved to preserve profit, so either there is a ...
