10points 3.mq4 - page 420

 

Hi forexjim,

I looked at MrTools' statement (10 pt 3 from 8-11_report.htm‎) and as I see - it is in points (or 5 digit pips).

Same as I am uploading in pips. Means: 500 (5 digit) pips = 50 pips (4 digit).

Example:

he did for GBPUSD: 160 pips (1600 in his statement).

His results are really good especially as we know - it is martingale. And if this EA is profitable in pips so it means: it is profitable in fixed lot size without martingale. because profit in pips does not depend on any lot size.

So, he wanted to say by this statement that timeframe M30 may be less risky than timeframe M1.

-----------

As to my trading so as I see - just for this week only (21 of august till now):

AUDJPY:

4 digit pips: 344

dollars: 74

EURCHF:

4 digit pips: 503

dollars: 170

EURJPY:

4 digit pips: -110

dollars: 69

EURUSD:

4 digit pips: 335

dollars: 171

USDCHF:

4 digit pips: 159

dollars: 68

USDJPY:

4 digit pips: 0

dollars: 0

So, it is 1231 pips (4 digit pips) just for 2 and half days.

or 552 dollars.

It is for M1 timeframe.

Drawdown was small for this week.

Of course, this EA will be less risky to use in case of M30 timeframe (as MrTools suggested), and it will be less risky too for H1 timeframe.

Hi there I saw your result and have done some researching by my self and all seams to be positive with profit factor at some pairs with +2. So my question is - is there a formula which to calculate your starting balance? I will start with only one pair - EUR/USR to low up a bit the margin. Regards!

 

Range Bars and EA

Can this EA work with the Range Bars chart?

Starting balance?

It is personal riask understanding.

My personal risk understanding is 1 trade with lot size = 0.1 per 1,000 dollars.

That nis why i am posting v isual charts here - just to know max lot size, and real floating drawdown on open trades.

I ahve no idea what you are asking as I am not professional with it ...

but as I see - your question is related to 2 other threads:

and

I will upload all the statements for this EA during the weekends as usually.

[lang=es]This EA works fine with Candle bars time based system, but the Range Bars systems works time-free and only fullfils a bar when a established number of pips are reached, so a new bar opens. That's why I am asking if this EA can worn on this basis. For instance, MACD works smoother as does MA.[/lang]

 

Really puzzling!

Hi, newdigital and mrtools,

I used the same EA, indicators, setting

EA: from post #4090

Timeframe: M1

Preset: from post #4090 plus OsMatf=0, Cogtf1=0, Cogtf2=0

Platform: FXCM mt4

Initial balance: 30000

Period: 2007 to 2011

Only trade long

on three computers with opposite results (See details attached).

Why?

Thank you for advising and educating.

Hi forexjim,

Some indicators are having different values on different brokers. And many EAs are shwing different results for different brokers. Especially for M1 timeframe where datafeed is not stable. So, use my pre-set, or use more higher timeframe. And especially during the backtesting.

Example in your backtesting:

Bars in test 1235665

Ticks modelled 36801642

and

Bars in test 1303099

Ticks modelled 32055899

Hi forexjim,

Why are you backtesting?

You can trade, same with me.

Hi, newdigital and mrtools,

Please look at the two graphs below:

From the winning computer, positions close with a total profit; from the losing computer, positions close only with the last position winning a little, the rest all losing.

Yet the difference was not from EA, indicators or setting as they were identical. Where is the cause of difference from?

Thank you for advising.
