PipMaker v1 - Price action based EA - page 16

 

Thanks to don_forex for sharing this EA and Neo who help to improve this EA.

I make a forward test in V9-1 with standard setting

Lot Increase = true

Buy = true

Sell = true

0.1=1, 0.01=2

smallest lot size =1.0

max lot size =5.0

Lot size =0.1

lot increment =0.1

multiplier =0

Profit target =5.0

Trend profit target =5.0

Safety level percentage = 400.0

Safetyprofittargetpercent =25.0

open on stick =1

spacing =10

trend spacing = 10

counter trend multiplier=2

close delay = 91

orders to close =0

minimum order to close losing =1

trendperiod = 1200

cease trading = false

right side lebel = true

the above setting is

lot size = 0.1

lot increment =0.1

should it be open position with 0.1 lot and open another position with 0.2 (0.1 increase)

but it open with 0.2 lot and another with 0.3 lot

do I missed something here?

I'm using Don's latest. I tried the Neo 50 pip stoploss version but was down about $3k. Changed Multiplier from 0 to 2 yesterday. DD was pretty big but is back down now. Up $1,200 right now...

Have you noticed if it works better on some pairs and not others?

Hi. I've been playing with this for a day or two and it does seem to have potential. Unfortunately, it does seem to blow your account eventually.

What I have noticed though is that the account balance continues to grow even when drawdown is significant. Doesn't this indicate that the 'don't close profitable trades when large d/d present' isn't working? I would have thought that closing losing trades is more important than increasing equity...

Anyway, I like what you have achieved her e and am going to have a go at coding the idea myself. I'll post my results as they become available.

I'm using all that's available at demo IBFX. So far it does not seem to matter as long as there is price movement.

 

It is still a toss-up as to which works better, low spread or high volatility. I am leaning more towards the volatility I think.

 

PipMakerV5aNeo_Enhanced

Hi,

In last two, three years I've tested and analyzed almost every EA that was posted in this and other forums. Meanwhile I've written some dozens of them and created also a lot of indicators. But this EA (PipMaker) seems to be the best one I've seen.

So, I took the version PipMakerV5aNeo and enhanced it a little bit. I didn't change the trading logic because it seems to be very good. I just added some functionalities that one can control the EA better. There's almost no doubt that this EA is a money maker. The only thing one needs is the ability to control it properly. This is my first approach to achieve this. This version is session based. It has an unique session variable which is used as comment to identify closed and open positions and does not get confused with other running EA's of the same version.

My suggestions for optimal use:

1. Use Daily Charts. 30Min and 1Min data must be available.

2. Setup one EA on EURUSD and set either TradeLong or TradeShort to "true" but not both

3. Setup one EA on GBPUSD and set either TradeLong or TradeShort to "true" but not both (that means you set only long for GBP and short for EUR or vice versa but not long for both or short for short. Works for other pairs as EURUSD, USDCHF or GBPJPY, EURJPY)

4. Set your Session Target in $ (100-500 for a 5K account)

5. May set pause time if major news events are ahead

6. May set a quit hour

7. Don't get greedy. It makes money. Just need to know how to use it properly.

The idea is to let one EA trade although many are attached. Only the trending pairs will be traded.

Please test it and give me your comments and suggestions.
