10p3 - Multi currency pair - page 7

 

Understanding

Thanks very much for your careful explanations. I did in fact read all the posts from the old thread, but found that I became increasingly confused. I think that it would be helpful to have an outline document to describe the strategy and operation in detail.

One further question: if v1.0 adjusts automatically to ranging and trending situations, is it necessary to use (or optimize) the TimeFilter?

thanks,

autumn

 

Another question

If I understand correctly, V1.0 operates with input from many pairs simultaneously. I assume therefore that it cannot be backtested or optimized.

Code fragment

Here is a code fragment that can be used if you want to step indicator periods in a fractal progression (e.g., 3,5,8,13,21,34). The P_Per input can be stepped in integer numbers to produce the fractal series.

Per = MathRound((MathPow(1.6180339,P_Per)-MathPow(0.6180339*(-1),P_Per))*0.4472135955999);

I hope it is helpful

You can do that, but the EA will then tell you to trade 24 hours a day, because most likely the MT4 backtester doesn't know there is a lot of slippage during NY session. For me, it is vitally important to use TimeFilter. Most of the blow up happens on NY session.

May still backtest, but not on optimization. Besides of TakeProfit, Multiplier, and the size of Standard Deviation, the rest are pretty much constants.

Just change your Multiplier to fractal number will do. Such as 1.5 or 1.3. The lot size increment will cut down.

Cant figure out why. But I've made a little bit more changes. Hope this work.

Backtesting blues

Optimized v004 on 2.5 years GBPUSD with great results. Then tried settings on another pair. Negative. Then returned to GBPUSD and the EA crashed the account with same settings. I suspect that MT4 is buggy. I can send setting if wished

Any ideas?

Yes, please do. By the ways, do you use offline MT4 to test? Or a online MT4. And also be remind, every currency pair's trading range is different, therefore there is no 1 general settings can be use for other currency pair. It may be good for 1, but definitely different setting on others.
