Legs? — Macman, Does this ea have any life left in it? I've been working though a few grid strategies on paper, but I've not gotten to the point that I want to code anything yet. I've got some time over the next 7-10 days if you want to try to ...

macman's grid thingy: another production by macman and Steve - a grid auto-trader

Possible but... — The only reliable way that I could think of doing this would be to autogenerate magic numbers to track the trades. I've done this in other EA's, but Steve goes to great lengths to avoid anything that lets brokers know you are ...

Sixths trading - an EA by macman, Bob and Steve mk 2

An Observation — Thanks Steve. It will be interesting to see if this makes any difference. I've made an observation on this version of the indicator. Using a 120 hour CCI period we should see approximately 1-2 trades every 5 days on the pair. ...

Sixths barcount optimization — I've been playing with the sixths indicator to optimize the barcount settings. My current thinking is to base it on a 120 hour (5 day) CCI. Then look back for the last 30 days and use the average period for CCI ...

I had looked at this a while back, but I didn't realize it was alive again. I like what your trying to accomplish with the ATR. I like to use the ATR TP in MPTM for this reason. The other thing I've tried in some of my EA's is to take things one ...

If you want this feature now, just run MPTM with all setting turned off except for ShirtProtection... You can find the link to MPTM in Steve's sig. Just an idea...

If you read back through macman's link/The Beast/Sixths/NB threads, you'll see that someone actually did some work to optimize the BarCount value. Macman has continually asked for someone to automate this, but the value 20 was determined to be ...

Thanks for getting back to me and for letting me post in your threads. I really appreciate you willingness to share your work. I have been writing EA's for about a year now, and I'm beginning to think I enjoy it too much. As for TOB, it's ...

Questions on The Old Beast — Hi All, I've been going through The Old Beast to reapply some simple changes I make to allow me to trade XAUUSD and prevent a number of annoying errors (Invalid stops etc). I've been trading my version live for ...

Modifications — Hi, You didn't say if you wanted me to add this to my revised EA or the original, so I did both. 1. I added settings called TradeLong and TradeShort. 2. My EA did not delete the trades from backtest, but the original did. I ...

BBP_BolingerBreakoutPyramid EA

No template — This is an EA. There is no template and the indicators are in the code. By the way, I did not code this, I just made some changes to the code originally posted.

BBP_BolingerBreakoutPyramid EA

A slightly different version — For some reason, I decided to take a look at this today. The original had some issues. For one, the ma was declared as an int. This caused some issues and the ea would only take long trades. Because it crashed ...

BBP_BolingerBreakoutPyramid EA

Trade the strategy — Thanks to Bernd for sharing everything that he's done here. This is a concept I'd also been looking into early this year, but I had given up on it until I came across Old_Dog's thread and subsequently this one. I would ...

Synthetic hedges, cointegration, mean reversion and similar stuff

Update — As mentioned, I did build an EA out of this just to see what it would do. It is slightly profitable over the course of the year, but not anything worth rejoicing over. So for now, I'll won't bother posting it.

VolcanoWMA Scalping

EA? — Hi, Just for fun, I'm thinking of coding an EA for this. When you take trades, are you really following the arrows generated by VOLCANOWMA? It is simply verifying that the MAs are trending down and that you've crossed 50% of the 9 period ...

Oanda setup — Hi, Would you mind sharing how you get that setup on the Oanda 5 sec chart? Thanks

Making Money? — Hi All, I've been trading TB live for about a month now on 10 pairs with lot sizes of .3 and .1. Currently, I've taken about $900 in profit with a floating DD of $1500. The profit may have been higher, but I've closed some of ...

TheBeast problem with TP Line? — I had a couple of trades close last night in big drawdown. Looking at the history, I couldn't find any justification for this. The trades were not in recovery. However, the pairs had recovered a couple of days ...
