OPTIMIZATION GUIDE
The Optimization settings and range of values provide a clear guide for the optimization process and some optimized settings are already made available. Please' see the 'comments' section. Please note here that the pre-news and post-news sections can also be profiled for optimization. With the new version (7.017), optimization is to be done in two stages.
- Locate the stage 1 optimization set file and load it.
- Select your trading choice symbol/currency pair and optimize for a period of at least 12 to 20 years.
- NOTE: Do not run optimization for the whole period of 20 years.
- After successful optimization, test the optimized output for at least three years before the optimization begin date and then at least three years after the optimization end date. You may also choose to run the set file to see the overal output for the 20 + years.
- Choose the three best of settings and enter each setting into the Smart Trader I, Smart Trader II and Smart Trader III range of values respectively.
- To see the ovwerall trading performance, set each of the sections as 'True'
Now we can begin to get ready for the second optimization stage.
- Set each of the Smart Trader sections I, II and III above as 'false'.
- Untick the already optimized parameters in Smart Trader I section.
- NOTE: In each of the Smart ATR sections I, II & III, the range of values have already been entered. Set each of these as 'True'.
- For each of these sections, tick the following values to be optimized:-
- Smart_ATR_Shift_A - Start - 1 | Step - 4 | Stop - 13
- Smart_ATR_Shift_B - Start - 10 | Step - 4 | Stop - 22
- Smart_ATR_Shift_C - Start - 19 | Step - 4 | Stop - 31

Smart_News_Parameters_I__
- Smart_Pre_News - Turn true to trade high impact news.
The idea here is to trade prime news such as the NFP, CPI, PPI, Retails Sales, Interest Rates etc by placing pending orders minutes before the news release time. It is expected of such high impact news releases to break out in one sure direction. So two pending orders are places at approriate highs and lows just before news release.
-
NFP_News_Trading - Auto searches for the first friday of each month and opens appropriate trades.
-
CPI_PPI_RetailSales_News_Trading Auto searched for key trading news at other times in the month.
-
Smart_News_Day - Select the date of the expected news release.
-
Smart_News_Hour_MT4_Chart - Select the MT4 news release hour as picked from the MT4 chart. If news release minutes is less than 30 (ex. 15:00, 17:15, 19:25), then the news release hour must be set at an hour earlier. But if the news release minute is greater than 30, then the very news release hour must be used.
-
Smart_News_Minutes - Enter the specific news release minutes.
-
Smart_Placement_Minutes - Select the time the E.A will place the two pending orders before the 'Smart_News_Minutes'. Note: this value must be less than the ' Smart_News_Minutes'. It is advised that the pending orders must be placed at least 30 minutes before the news release minutes.
-
Smart_Expiration_Minutes - Select the time the placed pending orders must expire. (Ex. Smart_Placement_Minutes [0] + Smart_Expiration_Minutes [32]) > Smart_News_Minutes [30].
-
In this case: [0 + 32] = 32
-
[32 - 30] = 2 - Pending orders expires just two minutes after the high impact news is released.
-
Smart_News_Peak_Range_Hours - Select the duration wherein to search for highs and lows (in hours) prior to the news release hour.
-
Smart_Pre_News_Ratio - A ratio of the prior 'high-low' range relevant to place the pending orders.
Smart_News_Parameters_II_
- Smart_Post_News - Turn true if it is beleived that based of the high impact news release, price will continue in a set direction after the news data is out.
- Smart_Post_News_Range_Hours - Time interval in hours to wait and observe the markets before entering the markets again.
- Smart_Post_News_Ratio - A ratio of the post news 'high-low' range relevant to entering the markets again.
- Trailing - Set 'True' to trail your profits.
Note: Indeed this works well enough but user must make sure to manually check / back-test this news trading entries on actual historical news release dates to see the suitability of trading strategy. Furthermore, this news trading strategy can be independently optimized and backtested for smooth trading performance.
