StepMAExpert_EAs - page 13

 

M30 timeframe?

may be, FXDD is having completely different data feed from Alpari. The same with IBFX: IBFX is having very different data from Alpari and North Finance.

I think, may be, you need to optimize the settings for FXDD using FXDD data ... No other suggestion I have.

 

I'm using Alpari M30

 

stepMA_v7EA.mq

I am trying to understand the logic inside file stepMA_v7EA.mq

1)

extern int Length = 10; // Volty Length

extern double Kv = 1.0; // Sensivity Factor

extern int StepSize = 0; // Constant Step Size (if need)

extern int MA_Mode = 0; // Volty MA Mode : 0-SMA, 1-LWMA

extern int Advance = 0; // Offset

extern double Percentage = 0; // Percentage of Up/Down Moving

What is 'Volty Length' Means?

Also, SMA means I think Simple Moving Average. what is LWMA?

2)

if ( BarsNumber > 0 )

int Nbars=BarsNumber;

else Nbars=Bars;

What is stored in BarsNumber? It is declared as an extern variable. Which file are they using it?

Any help would be much appriciated.

Thanks.

Open any chart and attach standard MA indicator: you will see the settings in indicator's navigation panel as "MA Method". So LWMA is Linear Weighted MA.

As to other settings so ask Igorad because he coded indicator and EA.

All that I know that it is related to his Step Trading systems: he coded a lot of step indicators. And as I know some people are trading this system manually.

As I understand BarsNumber is number of bars calculated by indicator. If BarsNumber=0 so indicator is drawing the line based on the all bars on the chart. Just attach this indicator to the chart with BarsNumber=100 and you will see.

I am posting exact EAs which I am using. Default settings.

Use StepMAExpert_v1.45_chf_m30.mq4 for USDCHF only and StepMAExpert_v1.45_gbp_m30.mq4 for GBPUSD only.

Don't forget about indicator (attached as well).

I am not using money management.

The only difference was MM was true (I've since turned it off)

Since then, it's had one profitable trade, and is currently in another - but losing.

 

And another loser ....

And another loser ....

I'm wondering EAs should only be turned on at night, when all the news and events have settled down. Clearly today's market movement has really confused the EA. It kept saying sell, sell, sell ....as the market went up, up, up!

My EA did not trade today. Just statements which i posted some posts above.

Yes, it is very interesting.

I attached this EA with Alpari MetaTrader now.

Are you on Alpari?

Will see.

Should be the same with you.

Anyway, two days testing is nothing for any general conclusion about improvement. I am testing this EA since 27th of August.

Well, it actually says "goswell.demo.alpari.co.uk", whatever that means.

My Alpari Server is "Alpari-Demo - Alpari Ltd".

GMT +1.

All the data for backtesting this EA (and all other EAs) was taken from "Alpari-Demo - Alpari Ltd".

From on-line support of Russian Alpari broker in Russian language ( http://www.alpari-idc.ru/ ):

ND: What is goswell.demo.alpari.co.uk ?

Your Alpari server time is GMT +1. What is MetaTrader server time of Alpari UK?

What is the differencies in data feed between Alpari and Alpari UK?

Some people say that Alpari UK is having different data...

Natalya Indeeva: We are not doing any consulting on Alpari UK.

ND: We are testing EA on Alpari and Alpari UK and the results are too different. Which data is using Alpari UK?

Natalya Indeeva: http://www.alpari-idc.com/en/company/contacts.html

ND: you are doing the secrets from nothing. anyway it is your Russian Alpari in London ...

Natalya Indeeva: you may send email to Alpari UK and ask them. We are not doing any consulting on UK, we can not explain the differencies, we do not know which data they are using and where they are getting the data from.
