As the developer of this E.A., it is my joy to see that my software proves to be very useful and remains most relevant to the user. Therefore, I am interested in receiving every comment from all downloaders.

Your comments (based on your usage experiences) will be most useful for the improvement of the trading strategies deployed herein.

Please send me your feedback here.

Thanks for downloading 'Intra Day Pivot Trader'.

This is expected to serve as a basic guide to the trader's optimization experience.

After downloading, copy file and paste in the tester folder.

(Whilst in the MT4 terminal; go to 'File' -> 'Open Data Folder' -> 'Tester').

To begin optimization, simply load the file and click on the start button.

Please note that as the objective of this EA is to simplify the ordeals of Intra Day trading; you have to be careful enough to choose the most stable optimization settings results.

Please optimize (back test) the EA for at least 3 - 4 months; then afterwards, forward test it for another 3 - 4 months. Observe the curve and please take note of the Draw Down.

Advisably, the 'DD - Profits' ratio for the whole testing period should at least be 1:2. [1:3 and higher values are encouraged].

The default setting herein has been adapted to suit the EURUSD currency pair.

Attached to this is my personal optimization input guide.

Please note that only the most important variables need to be optimized.

For the most stable results:

1. Optimize the E.A. for a period of six months (from 9 months ago to 3 months ago).

2. After optimization, look out for the passes with low Draw-Downs, high number of trades and equivalent profits.

3. Run each pass for a total of 12 months (3 months before the optimization began and 3 months after it ended).

Observe each curve and choose the most suitable pattern. Take note of your Back Tested DD and Back Tested Spread as you will need them for live trading so as to maintain same trading conditions.

Attached also is a zipped file. Contained therein are settings for GBP-USD and EUR-USD. These have been optimized as explained above and is suitable for immediate usage.
