Hi George,

One possibility would be to have one version running on IBFX and in properties of EA allow long only and another copy of EA running on another broker or IBFX and allow only short trades - a pain I know but these NFA new regulations are just that...

Hello,

Thank you leeb for the setting for 5d brokers, I will try to optimize it.

Also, Me, with a 4d Broker, I have always the short on EUR USD at 1.3884 and SL at 1.4001.

But if I understand all, this ea is based on a perceptron, so we need to update setting so many times (each week Georges?). So, at yous mean what settings are important to update?

The magic number have a real importance? because I show that in the code:

void trl(){
total= OrdersTotal(); spread = MarketInfo(Symbol(), MODE_SPREAD);
for( i = total - 1; i >= 0; i--)
{
OrderSelect(i, SELECT_BY_POS, MODE_TRADES); MN=OrderMagicNumber();
// check for symbol & magic number
if(OrderSymbol() == Symbol() && MN>= 772012000 && MN<=772012199)
{ if (MN==772012055) {sl = slx; tp = tpx*slx; mn= mnx1;}
if (MN==772012155) {sl = sly; tp = tpy*sly; mn= mny1;}

So if I change the MN, that will have an impact on the trade?

Thank you.

EDIT: SL on my last position, -113 pips. No position actually.

The Optimization is made for IBFX 4 digit on a Live account.
So if you use a different broker trades will be different.
This EA has been profitable on a Truly Live account. I trade this EA on ibfx mini accounts 3. If it wasn't for this EA other EA's would have blown my account away. So I stopped using the unprofitable EA's and this is 1 of my top picks.

Magic numbers are set there however do not change them. You have to internally change magic numbers to do multi currency.

If you are interested in doing that I can help.

Can Any coder please Set anti hedging capabilities?

Looks like our previous Optimization is just as good as the current one. I will try another Optimization and see if that's any better.


Update: I will be updating the EA for non-hedging brokers as well. I will make 2 EA's with different Magic numbers as well as 2 different Optimizations. (ex. 1 for long trades and 2nd for short trades). I plan on opening a 2nd account and funding both equally to replicate this EA's amazing risk management hedge trades

Can you post set file of what parameters of this ea you do optimize?

With my current setup metatrader4 b224 from AlpariUK, then backtesting i only get 25% modelling quality.
I tried downloading historic data from alpari, but instead of downloads, there is only instruction to use History center within MT4 to download data... First i set max bars in history and max bars in chart (tools,options,charts to max value) then I did download data from history center for every eurusd timeframe, but still - modelling data remains at 25%...

What to do to boost this to 90 , or even better to 99 %

How thid EA works. Are trehe any manually system ???

Update 5/25 - I figured this out. When I delete the .hst files from the MT4 install, then download historical data (the same way as in NewDigital's video), I get 90% modeling quality. Now, on to figuring out optimization



I've seen a few people post questions just like the ones I have, but it appears the answers weren't posted...my apologies if this has been answered before.

I went through the two backtest videos step by step, updating history for EURUSD H1, and setting up Firedave's MACD Histogram v2 EA with EURUSD H1. I put the iMACD indicator in the indicator folder (as indicated by firedave, it's needed for this EA). Compiled the EA and indicator, no errors, they're in the right folders.

I ran the backtest.

Data below...can someone give me some insight as to what I'm not doing/doing wrong?

Result: Modeling Quality = n/a;
In the journal for the test run I get a long list of errors all like this sample (there are quite a few and they all look like this):
"2009.05.22 06:41:57 TestGenerator: unmatched data error (volume limit 1660 at 2009.04.03 16:00 exceeded)"

Following the errors, I get a list of entries that look like trades (in the journal) (this is a sample, there are many very similar to this set):
"2009.05.22 06:41:58 2008.01.31 06:00 MACD Histogram_v2 EURUSD,H1: STOP AND REVERSE !
2009.05.22 06:41:58 2008.01.31 06:00 MACD Histogram_v2 EURUSD,H1: close #47 buy 0.10 EURUSD at 1.4802 at price 1.4838
2009.05.22 06:41:58 2008.01.30 20:00 MACD Histogram_v2 EURUSD,H1: BUY order opened : 1.4802
2009.05.22 06:41:58 2008.01.30 20:00 MACD Histogram_v2 EURUSD,H1: open #47 buy 0.10 EURUSD at 1.4802 ok
"
The graph of the test run looked like something I'd expect.


When I try optimization, result:
No optimization results, no optimization graph

Journal - examples of errors:
"2009.05.22 07:00:08 TestGenerator: unmatched data error (volume limit 494 at 2009.05.20 04:00 exceeded)
2009.05.22 07:00:08 TestGenerator: unmatched data error (low value 1.3484 at 2009.05.15 22:00 is not reached from the least timeframe, low price 1.3485 mismatches)
2009.05.22 07:00:08 TestGenerator: unmatched data error (high value 1.3496 at 2009.05.15 22:00 is not reached from the least timeframe, high price 1.3494 mismatches)
2009.05.22 07:00:08 TestGenerator: unmatched data error (volume limit 362 at 2009.05.15 22:00 exceeded)
"
Concludes with "2009.05.22 07:00:13 There were 1 passes done during optimization, 1 results have been discarded as insignificant" <--- I get the "discarded as insignificant" no matter how many passes were done (I fiddled with start/step settings in some cases to get more passes).

greetings george

how much min. needed in ibfx account so account will not be blown away - say i use 0.1 lot mini account at ibfx

usualy how long it takes between opening and closing trade ?

what is the stop loss use ?

also can the .set file be use next month ?

many thanks

On a Mini account w/ $250 equity trading 0.10 lots your max drawdown will be around 14%.


( Absolute drawdown $24.50 Maximal drawdown $42.00 (5.31%) Relative drawdown 14.32% (37.70)



You can see close to 1 trade per day maybe less.

Has a very high win % and usually makes 2 times more profit on a win than on a loss.

It cuts losses short and holds winners very long.


I am very happy with this EA no matter how much I have to Optimize it.

The current Optimization is flawless for this week coming up so nothing to worry about. I Optimize on a weekly basis however the previous weeks optimization is better than the current one. (I can't figure out why)

Have Fun!!!

Enjoy!!!
