Here's a forward test statement for 02/27-02/28 from a new EA piece I call "WaveRider" that will be a trend-following module stubbed in to JitterBug. The JitterBug backbone handles ranging conditions and passes control to this sub-EA whenever strong trend conditions are detected. The Yen behaved nicely today. Wish it was real money.

Looks good, interested to see more of the JitterBug and WaveRider family ...
I wish to say hello and thank to all of you who contribute on this forum.
For those of who would like to use Goblin Bipolar with a different lots sequence, I attach the EA below.
The defaults represent the settings I prefer.
If the CustomMadeLots variable is set to true, then the EA is not doubling the lots anymore; instead is using the lots sequence defined by CMLot1, CMLot2...... CMLot10. Also, the UseFiboLotSizeProgression variable doesn't apply anymore.
If CustomMadeLots variable is set to false, then this EA is behaving as the original EA - doubling the lots or using a Fibo sequence.
The lots sequence I prefer is:
0.1, 0.1, 0.1, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 1.2, 2.0, 3.5, 6.2
In my testing I usually use max 8 lots (which means 2.0 max size lots), on H4 timeframe, EURUSD.

Interesting mod, catman! Do you have a statement to share that shows the action/profitability of these sequence settings?

that is awsome. thanks
Doing some back tests with playing with lot sizes. All I'd do (my self) is increase the lot size of 4 and 5 and keep the rest of my settings the same. 4/5 both close for losses. I'd increase them to make them close for profits instead.
Is there any way to increase the last 2 trades (4/5) and not disable the risk and equity target, and other settings?
I attach the results for the demo accounts I started this week on 2 brokers (TradexGroup and IBFX). They run with my preffered settings (TP=24, Pips=18, H4 timeframe, EURUSD, lots sequence: 0.1, 0.1, 0.1, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 1.2, 2.0, 3.5, 6.2 ) I use a 10k demo normal account on TradexG and a 1k mini demo account on IBFX
Unfortunately I lost a harddisk recently and I lost my statements for the previous 4 weeks, but I still have some consolidated results in a spreadsheet - see below:
Period 31.01.07-26.02.07, TradexGroup, 10k account, only EURUSD, H4:
Profit: 689.00
Floating P/L: -14.00
MaxDrawdown: -765.16
Max Lots in my sequence: 3times x 1.2Lots (ie - for 3 times it reached level 7 in my lots sequence)
Period 31.01.07-26.02.07, IBFX, 1k mini account, only EURUSD, H4:
Profit: 66.94
Floating P/L: -0.60
MaxDrawdown: -92.44
Max Lots in my sequence: 1time x 1.2Lots (ie - once it reached level 7 in my lots sequence)
I didn't stop the EA during the news release (my computers run 24/24)
I'm testing some other variants of this EA, but so far I prefer the original Goblin Bipolar with a modified Lots sequence. I'm under the impression that the chances to blow the account are smaller then when the lots are doubled
Is there any way to increase the last 2 trades (4/5) and not disable the risk and equity target, and other settings?
Hi David,
I haven't played in my testing with the risk&equity target. but all I can say is that I haven't changed any of the code in regards to the risk&equity target so to me the code should work as before. All my changes are in relation to lot sizes - gives you the posibility to use the sequence you want.
But I'll have to check in the code if there are any corelations.... haven't played with it..
Now... I calculated the Profit Points and Total Lots for my sequence in a buy or sell cycle (that's for TP=24 and Pips=18) ... For the moment I'm not trying to maximize the Profit Points, I rather try to keep the lots size low and save my a** :-) That's only in theory, I didn't take into account slippage, etc... Also, if you use different TP, Pips values it makes sense to recalculate the Lots sequence and see what values you get for Profit Points ....
Hope it makes a bit of sense ...
Ok - just for the record (I know - backtesting is just "in theory"), I post a backtest with 90% modeling quality.
my settings: TP=24, Pips=18, MaxLots=8, EURUSD only, H4 timeframe for the whole 2006 year.
100k demo
Profit: 13692
Max Drawdown: -6299
Min Equity: 96134
11 times it reached level 8
Don't be confused by the EA name in the statement - it's essentially the same EA I've attached here before (I just cut down some features I don't use in order to make it running faster and I vary the lot sizes directly into the code )
Just a quick one to clarify - in my code I calculate&print the lowest value for AccountProfit() for a test period (that's a negative value). That's what I called "Max Drawdown" in my previous posts.
That's a different value from the Max Drawdown as being reported by Metatrader.
I haven't used the right terminology - sorry for the confusion.
and I lost my statements for the previous 4 weeks, but I still have some consolidated results in a spreadsheet - see below:
