Im using version 1.89D posted a page or 2 back. Here are realtime forward results using Alpari demo.
At the same time i set up voice alerts to trade on another real cash platform manually but you have to run and place orders very fast! i also made real cash today following these trades.
Closed P/L: 562.28Nice. What your setings?
aragorn heres the file..took forever to find which one it was lol..
i only tested on eurusd 1h this year,
maybe you can get it to trade morefor some reason the backtester doesn't like this version...it won't open any trades for me??
This thing is reallllllly active! It's on it's 16th position of the day. My tests show that reverseindex=8 seems to be best for the usdjpy pair on interbank. I'm starting to develop another theory about this.
I don't know how to explain it but it's sort of how this EA seems to get itself in gear. I see it take it's losses when it's started inside a retracement bounce, on a reversal. once it's gone thru two or three reversals it seems to get a better grip but until then it's basically gambling. It may be gambling the whole time but something improves after it's been running thru about it's third major trend reversal. I'm guessing about a day or two on this pair. Then it just gets better. Takes it oh I don't know maybe 40 positions or so. This is what I keep seeing over and over on the backtests. If I see it on the forward test this week it will be telltale for me.
My analysis says that it's making on average 12 trades a day in the backtester, that's average sometimes much less and sometimes much more....max of 44 and min of 1. That's a lot of activity!
If I can stand to watch it and keep my maxlots down for one more day if my theory is correct..about wednesday afternoon this thing should start to lift off and I could up my maxlots. I think I have to keep it supressed however that long, unless I see that its riding the trends and reversals ok before that.
I will test the new reverse index at 8.
today..3 trades 2 wins
sofar it is 10 wins 3 losses.....70%--------Back test win% holding strong.
some times it takes profit at 7 pips last one was at 12 pips. It does seem to get a better handle on things as it goes. And seems to know to take profit early when the market conditions warrant. And hold position longer when justified.
Manually the gbp$ raped me this morning on news
Just when it looked to decline on first news 8:30 am est And was holding good position some crazy 9:15 news came out and it reversed.
what is up with a 9:15 news time? I didn't even notice it untill it happened. Then looked back on calander and was like DOH!! WTF. (stupid news)
little venting there off subject.
But any ways....Great EA in forward tests!

Sorry for the big post but i cant post the EA when its running wont let me. Here is the header file to run on version 1.89d. There is NO hours filter set. Runs on 1 Hour Jippy.
BTW you should make good use of the backtester and tick the Genetic testing. You know what that does dont you?:) Saves guessing.

Are you guys noticing that it does good even if the price is trending?
reverse index of 8 ....1.5 million from starting with 500 in a year. risk was 1. But draw down max was 45%. wins were 67%
67% is good%. I suspect the draw down was due to the risk. But so was the ending profits.
I am trying other indexes to see if I can get win% up and draw% down down.
I wonder what the broker will do with this trade frequency. We're not scalping.
If I do make huge profits, and a broker runs me off, you bet I'll make sure its brodcast all over the news. I suggest using a broker thats partisipating in the EA contest. That will give us leverage incase we get run off just because we're winning. Because there encouraging us to use EA's. As they said is the reason for holding the contest.

DaveAgreed! I tried running some different reverse indexes... mine is set to 4.82 just one whole up from the 3.82 it was set at... and so far so good, i had to move a stoploss today in hopes that it would rebound... and it did! so i got lucky and wimped out for 2 pips in profit (scared it would go down again)

I was so tempted to do the same. was it between 6pm est and 7 pm est?
Right as it took the loss it placed another order in the same direction and it won. That was when it took the larger profit than normal.
It too knew the price should rebound.
Try to keep from interfeering. You cann't get an acurate picture of what it will do while your away.
currently I am running it at reverse index of 1.91....that is where I got the 72% accuracy tests. And it still turned 500 into 650k in a year. I am running the same test with risk at 1 to see if it will touch 1 mil.
8 index was too choppy and too much draw down for my taste. I don't want the big 1.5 mil # to make me too greedy. It had a big drawdown that was more than my stomach can handle. Giving back 45-57% on indexes at 5-8. Even with a lowered risk.
I would hate to make 100k and then see it drop to 50k. I dunno if I'd keep running it if that happened.
if 100k dropped to 75k I would be ok. I think.
edit....ok risk of 1 gave 950k in a year. 30% draw down. 72% wins 1.91 reverse index. I'll stay with that. I think thats a happy medium

I know what you mean about it being choppy, i couldn't stomach that in a real account! I can't even imagine having 100k made by forex alone in a year! Wouldn't that just be the best thing... ever?! What if it was more, man i say if we clear $100,000 via cyberia we should go on vacation! All meet up and party at some island. Now thats what i'm talking about!

lol I'd be on vacation long befor it hit 100k.
I'd say if we make a couple of thousand off of cyberia, we really need to buy the pro version. Or donate money to the cause. Those guys have worked extreamly hard to come up with an EA of this type. Those are some super smart guys. And I cann't imagine how many hours they have put into this. To my knowlage there is no other EA that runs of this kind of logic.
Plus they are constantly improving on the pro version. Can you imagine what they'll have made this into in 5 years? People are running pro version on real money and doing very well. Once we purchase it we will get every updated version they come up with. Plus the support of them and others that have purchesed it.
We don't see many posts on there site because they don't want to give to much away to the free loaders. I bet there on a private forum chatting it up!
There open forum is mostly OS version guys now trying to get info.
