Hi Erebus, what MACD are you using in your examples. Those look like very good trade examples. Are those indicative of how the MACD works most of the time or are those cherry picked? Thanks!

Hi darkgdg, thanks for the code. We can give that a try to see if how it works. I really don't worry about it for my personal trading, because I only use on EA on one account so I really don't worry about the magic number issue. I just think it is ...

Everytime I use weekly confirmation, it seems to make the results less profitable, or not profitable at all. So I don't use it.

Hi Raycoboy, that is an interesting strategy also. What pairs are you testing and do you close all trades at end of day and then just turn on the EA again? Nice to hear some new approaches. Thanks!

Sorry, there is only 3 MACD methods, not 4. There are no MA methods for MACD. 1 - Adjustable, 2 - Hanover(corrected adjustable) 3 - Traditional MACD To get Adjustable MACD, you would make these selections. Trend_Method_1 = 3 MACD_Method = 1

Yes that sounds reasonable. Please remember this is not a guarantee. This is back testing and not real life. There are no slam dunks. So please test and be conservative. Thanks! One thing I also forgot to mention in the testing. I also used close on ...

A lot of things would be helpful. Winning % would also be helpful. I didn't want to spend 6 mos doing all the backtesting and recording all the results. Sorry. We are just looking for good indications of what works and what doesn't. For example, if ...

Hi S3, that is not correct. I started with $10,000 balance for back testing. I used .01 per $1000 lot sizing, so my lot size initially was .10. Also, the totals at that bottom do not take in account if all pairs were traded together on the same ...

Hi Guys, thanks for the kind words. I'm very sorry about not being more specific on the back testing. The back testing dates were from 1/2/2012 to 5/27/2013. Starting balance of $10,000, I used TTF = 1440, LTF = 60, 0.01 per $1000 for lot sizing, ...
