Qman replied Feb 15, 2008HURRAY for Hayseed. Thank you man. If you decide to do this, please consider some messages, like the total number of open positions, and the average price. I anticipate that once people start running this there will be speculation about the best ...

Qman replied Feb 15, 2008Hayseed! I see you lurking out there. I thought about asking you to look at this for an EA, but you seemed really busy on another thread, so I invited someone else to take a look at this. But he hasn't shown up yet. If you've got the time to work on ...

Qman replied Feb 15, 2008Dreamliner, there is no doubt you were being very SMART when you thought that through. Out of curiosity, what broker are you running this through, and what is their average spread?

Qman replied Feb 15, 2008I'm already thinking of a new wrinkle on this. What if you reestablish your limit orders is the price returns to cross your original entry point. So, for example. You place your market order. Price advances to, say, +54. So it gives you 5 clear ...

Qman replied Feb 15, 2008This looks very interesting. A big change in perspective from most of what we see around here. Thanks for sharing. You give a good overall account of performance over the last couple of years. Could you estimate what are the typical and largest ...

Qman replied Feb 15, 2008I had v1.5 set to run on EU, EJ, GJ, UJ overnight while I slept (I'm in Hawaii, which is GMT -10). Got up this morning an found a successful night. The EA took 6 trades since 6 AM GMT. 3 wins and 3 losses. There are two additional open positions, ...

Qman replied Feb 14, 2008I'm running v1.5 on both GJ and EJ. GJ is not so hot at the moment because it closed a winning position and then reversed a little bit after that, but it was a head fake. The market rushed on ahead. Later there was another, much smaller loss. All of ...

Qman replied Feb 8, 2008I like smjones' approach too, that is very good thinking. But everything gets a bit more complicated when the open is beyond the calculated entry points for both long and short positions. In that case you would need to wait something like the ...

Qman replied Jan 30, 2008I think you are right. I'm shutting it down. I have to go to work now anyway. I'll be checking in throughout the day. Also wondering if you can put some control in so that it won't take a trade when it is initially turned on if the price is already ...

Qman replied Jan 30, 2008Jr, while that is an option, it defeats most of my purposes for running an EA. I would have to monitor the market for trend reversals and restart the EA each time I saw that. In the current GJ environment it probably won't make a difference anyway ...

Qman replied Jan 30, 2008Mombone - The MAs are intended to keep you from being whipsawed. I think if you could set this up as a Stop and Reverse (SAR) like you are suggesting you would possible have whipsaw problems too. The bottom line is this is a trend catching system. ...

Qman replied Jan 30, 2008Funny, it is pretty hard to keep up with JR. The latest rendition is that price must close outside the channel. I don't think the 100 MA is part of the process anymore. So, when you say you must clear all 3 MAs I think that puts you on with some ...

Qman replied Jan 30, 2008Well I'm not 100% certain about it, but above those is MaxLots. It comes set defaulted to 1, I think. My thought was that that would govern the total number of positions open -- maybe not. So, if you have a long position open, and you get a short ...

Qman replied Jan 30, 2008Well, I just suffered another loss on the EA, but it has opened a new short (sell) position and that is up, at least for the moment. Another thing is to not forget about my initial entry, which ended up being a loser. That was not a good time or ...

Qman replied Jan 30, 2008I'll answer since jr isn't in the room right now. The channel is the two 13 SMAs (one based on the high, the other on the low). In the original method, the channel had to fully cross the 100EMA to enable a valid signal. That is no longer the case. ...

Qman replied Jan 30, 2008Not a great time for the system so far. It has been running for about 10 hours. 4 Losses = -236 pips (on my 2 Cent trades this has equaled -$4.41).... That is 50 + spread for each (those were 3 sells and 1 buy) 1 Win = +100 pips (2 Cent trade = ...
