Martingale EA - Page 23

wolfe,

I am reposting this as this might be real convienient for some. I realize your plate is full for v1.5 and making it more efficient, but this would be a great addition to consider in my opinion, as there are many ways to use this EA.

Can we have an overide on the entry direction completely and get an input where we can indicate an initial entry direction choice of long or short?

1 for long
-1 for short

If you can implement this...that will mean that this EA will offer three types of options for initial entry direction...

The MA settings
The BO settings
User input settings

wolfe you can see that by implementing this you will give the user another option for him to use, in the event he has a bias about the direction. (he may be using Long Only or Short Only inputs in the common tab of the smiley)

Ok, it is now 5000. Attached is my set. Someone please help me. Apparently I'm not clearly understanding what inputs I should change to get the same results as you guys.

I'll work on this option.

I included one of your ideas in v1_4. You now have Auto_Restart in your external variables. If set to false, EA will not re-start cycle after a cycle has been closed out.

Thanks for your testing and contribution ES.

Yes wolfe I saw that and I am using it. You are spoiling me. Thank you for considering this additional Initial Enty option...I hope you implement it soon...If others would find this a helpful option please post for wolfe.

Your test only has a modeling quality of 39.21% which is terrible. You need to get better back testing data. Back testing is not reliable anyway, Forward testing is the best way. We still don't know the best settings.

I am testing something that seems exciting...I think I have cracked this...but I want to test a little more first before embarrassing myself as I always do..

hint: Multiple pairs one direction only in each respective pair (4 pairs)...with a small close-all tp...

Details my boy...

If you guys are testing 4 majors in the same direction with a fixed take profit there is already an EA here on the site.

As always, read the external variable comments in the code, there have been a few changes from previous versions. Also, install latest include file.

I realize the code is long, repetitive, and cumbersome. I will be working in the future to "simplify" the code, for operation and ease of edit. This version may also not be perfect, but I feel it's the best version yet.

Thank you to all who have been encouraging, supportive, and helpful. The support I have received has enabled TFX to evolve greatly from it's first version.

Enjoy!

Hello Wolfe !

I am just reading code of version 1.4, can u confirm this :

-if SL or TP is reach (% or $ from balance), the EA will close all the trades open (even if trading more than one pair) ?

Thanks again for your work.
