Hi Wolfe, many thanks for sharing your great EA! Having spent an unhealthy amount of time with grid trading I did add a couple of things to your ea for myself but I think they are handy for testing purposes.

In the comments I like to have the lowest equity achieved recorded

double HighestEquity=0,LowestEquity=10000000;

if(AccountEquity()>HighestEquity){HighestEquity=No rmalizeDouble(AccountEquity(),2);}

if(AccountEquity()<LowestEquity){LowestEquity=Norm alizeDouble(AccountEquity(),2);}

This tells me if I could realistically suffer that much pain in real life.

Another handy tool is a line on the chart showing where the equity close will happen.

int deinit()
{
if(ObjectFind("BreakEven")==0){
ObjectDelete("BreakEven");
}
//----

//----
return(0);
}

double UltimateLots=0,RealPipValue,OrderProfits,PipLoss,B reakEven;

if(TotalLots>BuyLots)
{UltimateLots=TotalLots-BuyLots;
RealPipValue=UltimateLots*MarketInfo(Symbol(),MODE _TICKVALUE);
OrderProfits=OpenProfit + ClosedProfit;
PipLoss=(OrderProfits-ProfitTarget)/RealPipValue;
BreakEven=(Ask + PipLoss*Point)-4*Point;}

// Spread=MarketInfo("GBPUSD",MODE_SPREAD);
// Print("Spread is ",Spread);


if (ObjectFind("BreakEven") != 0)
{
ObjectCreate("BreakEven", OBJ_HLINE, 0, Time[0], BreakEven);
ObjectSet("BreakEven", OBJPROP_COLOR, Gold);
ObjectSet("BreakEven", OBJPROP_WIDTH, 2);
}
else
{
ObjectMove("BreakEven", 0, Time[0], BreakEven);
}

Keep up the good work! (all this coding I have borrowed and is not mine)

Hi Waltini,

I will post the screen shots of what I have on my configuration. The only difference is that I ran this configuration on the Daily setting of the timeframe. This is also a backtest and an attempt to make the EA profitable. I have not forward tested these settings as I am running a forward test on another EA. I have experimented though with adding Aritificial Intelligence to this EA and it appears to be very interesting. Here are the screenshots as a followup to the previous post.

Thanks,
David

The results I have been posting are for a version of TFX called PH4 that uses a trailing stop as an exit. I have not posted the code yet, I am still testing. I want to perfect the best I can before testing.

The following is my 3 day forward test results for PH4. PH4 is a variation of TFX using a trailing stop based on highest total profit. It closes all orders if total profit is <= a set percentage (TSLoss_Percent) of the cycle's highest achieved profit.

I want to continue to refine and perfect the code before posting the EA.

Hi everyone and hi Mr Wolfe,

I having trouble with this EA. It not working on my InterbankFx demo Plaform.

Any Idea for help a newbie like me. Please Help me. I really like to test this EA.

Thanks in Advance.

Hi Wolfe,

Here's a version where I added a perceptron function to see if it would make any difference. It has the four variables where are numbers which range from 1 to 200 on each variable. I looked at the code from another EA and put it into this one to see if it would make any difference in the way the EA responds to the condition. Here a picture of the TFXv1_1_AI version from 1/8/2008 to 2/8/2008 on the daily frame.

Thanks,
David

Have a great weekend.
