Here is my performance for the first week of May 2006. The performance was not as reliable as normal, probably due to pre-non farm payrolls, and also Tokyo shut down for the week due to holidays (and half the pairs i test have jpy in them).

My original 22:00GMT trades (due to daylight time they are 21:00GMT) and 10TP 50SL:

EurUsd 8 of 10 or 80% and +$1600 for HH, and +$1470 for 3rd trade.
GbpUsd 7 of 10 or 70% and +$1000 for HH, and +$400 for 3rd.
UsdChf 8 for 10 or 80% and +$926 for HH, and +$636 for 3rd.
UsdJpy 8 for 10 or 80% and +$886 for HH, and +$504 for 3rd.
EurJpy 7 for 10 or 70% and +$1844 for HH, and +$461 for 3rd.
GbpJpy 7 for 10 or 70% and +$2773 for HH, and +$2883 for 3rd.

The accuracy was 44/60 or 73%, lower than normal. Wonder if the slow before freaky friday affects results. plus asia shut down.

So the grand total was $15383.40, of which $6,354.89 is 3rd trade.

The EurJpy, GbpJpy and EurUsd had large sundays due to recouping of losses from last week.

For the 23:45GMT (which is 22:45 thanks to DST)

EurUsd 10 of 10 or 100% and +$1000 for HH, and +$1100 for 3rd trade.
GbpUsd 9 of 10 or 90% and +$1000 for HH, and +$765 for 3rd.
UsdChf 8 for 10 or 80% and +$1296 for HH, and +$636 for 3rd.
UsdJpy 8 for 10 or 80% and -$2803 for HH, and -$650 for 3rd.
EurJpy 7 for 10 or 70% and -$1856 for HH, and +$80 for 3rd.
GbpJpy 6 for 10 or 60% and -$1227 for HH, and -$1777 for 3rd.

Accuracy was 47/60 or 78%

So the grand total was -$2437.24, of which +$154 is 3rd trade. You can see the difference japan closed makes. A total of -$8000, insteal of the usual +8000, so a net differential of $16000!! wow...i guess we need to heed holidays.

Unfortunatley i can't test any more settings or time frames, due to time and resources on computer. All my trades are done in demo accounts and will post total results at the end of the month.

Enjoy,

Graham

Boy this thread has been quiet lately? I was just wondering if people are trading it live or even in demo? Are they using any of the EA's?

I have been working with an alternative Martingale so we don't bet the farm by the fourth or fifth consecutive loss.

At any rate, enclosed are my may results for 2:00PM PST (Gmt-7) and 3:45pm PST. I have 2 tabs, one for 10TP 50SL and one for 5TP 50 SL. Martingale uses classic 7x increase for base HH, and 1, 2.5,7.5,22.5 for third trade.

Enjoy,

Graham

Thanks Graham.
It appears EURUSD is the most reliable pair.
Do you still think there is an advantage to trading multiple pairs
especially when one takes margin into the consideration?
Is the 3.45 PDT more reliable than the @pm PDT?
Are you trading live at this time? If you are what is your strategy
with regards to SL = 50 versus SL = 40

Thanks once again

The EurUsd is by far the most reliable pair. The interesting thing about the 6 pairs, is they rarely have 2 consecutive losses. They generally only have 1 loss, then maybe the other side has a loss. This i have found especially true with the jpy pairs.

I find the 3:45 PDT to be more reliable for the EurUsd, but yet both timeframes are profitable. I am still working on modifications to the martingale to reduce losses as well as recoup losses better.

I have been trading live. I have found the 50S/L to work abit better, however you do risk more obviously.

I'll post more later when i have it.

Graham

Thank you very much.

Hi,
I have added 2 input data TimeLag and DaysInTrade. By default this values are 5 min and 2 days accordingly. Try to use EA with different Timelag 10,15,20... min. Small value of TimeLag can produce problems with opening of orders.
And question: Why EA open orders at 15:53 (Start=15), 16:53(16), 17:53(17) and so on? Is 53 min a magic time or what?

I know when i was trying to get v1.1 working, i would play around with both the hour and minute settings. You are correct with the need possibly for using a timelag with multiple pairs (as there is an overload of transactions), however if you pick a pair like the EurUsd, you really only need 2 trades entered in.

Graham and everyone here
