DislikedI know "0" about programming, so don't know if something like this is possible to program. Each pair has an average daily range. If it is trading at 50% of that range (variable) then it is ranging. Try different % figures like 50, 60 70, 75 to see how much difference it makes in # of trades and profit. Also maybe difference in daily closes could indentify if market is trending! If it is so many percent above/ below previous day it is trending. Just thoughts, PaulIgnored
DislikedI've just noticed something very ominous. According to my strategy, the core components being a 48 EMA, 72 EMA, and a couple momentum indicators, as of this Friday's close, the long daily trend on GBP/USD which started October of 2006 and at 1.8740 is OVER. You can see this illustrated by the plunge from the 48 EMA through the 72 EMA in one solid candle.
Further more, for the first time since April of 2006 when the even larger daily trend began at 1.7520, my system is calling for a strong sell on the daily charts.
Now fundamentally on the daily time frame, I'm not sure why the trend is over since everyone seems to be losing faith in the dollar, maybe this is just indicating all faith is not lost yet.Ignored
DislikedI have made some modification to it:
1. Add dynamic magic numbering, let it co-exist with other EA, and may attach multiple same EA with difference pair and timeframe.
2. Add trade comment to show program name and version number.
3. Add NormalizeDouble() function within OrderSend, to avoid be jammed when backtest with some un-normalized tick data.
4. Add fixlots external, if setup fixlots=0, all lots will follow the original design. But you setup fixlots as some number such as: 1, 0.2, 1.5,....etc, the system will use this number as trading lot, and ignore the original risk_percent calculation. This will avoid to be jammed in backtest if the risk_percen are too large vs. qeuite.
I also found this EA perform good since 2006-Dec to now, but looks bad since 2004-Jul to 2006-Nov .Ignored
Dislikedcool, thanks for the interesting additions. It was only optimized over the last 6 months, so if you have good data, you should have excellent results since september.Ignored
DislikedAlso remember that this is a trending EA so it can be very harder to fit it to ranging markets, no matter how much you optimize it. The final EA for this system will work for ranging and trending markets.Ignored
