Will you say what you did to modify it? I have gotten extremely excited at changes I made which seemed to work great until I applied them to realtime trading. Would like to know what you have done.

I know I first mentioned trading the "pierce" of the 8MA, and last week tried to trade a definite Close above/below the 8 before entering on a cross and I ended up with way more losses than wins. All the setups that looked good to me seemed to die ...

Yes, it's the "Art vs. Science" aspect that makes trading so difficult. The human brain's ability to make instinctual leaps is still not able to be duplicated by computers, which is why there are so few people who are successful at speculative ...

Yes, that's why I tried to use a specific distance in pips from bars 1-5 so it didn't matter the scale of the chart. In that previous result, I made up more 100s that quickly reversed for a small win, and only lost a few big runners that went over ...

Hey, Duffy (and others), I have been trying to quantify the "too steep" idea for the 8MA and after lots of tedious data entry in Excel, here is what I'm considering. This can be coded into an EA, in fact Steve's does most of this but I don't know if ...

Not sure what code you mean, Bob. I don't have any EAs running and I even deleted the TMA indicator but I'm still getting the alerts. Can you tell me where to look? tx

Actually, Bob, my broker is a 4 digit broker, Forex.com. And the 660 pips mentioned is the total pips, not the average, from my visual backtest for all trades that opened during that particular 4H bar during the quoted period (i.e. all trades ...

Good to hear from you. You have probably noticed Bob has drifted back to the 4H time frame on his new system and I like it too, since I have no time or desire to sit in front of the computer any more than I do! Hopefully you'll be able to allow for ...

Yes, that's a bit trickier. In my visual test I just looked at it and said, "it went down this far, set the SL below it, enter at 8MA." In reality, I'm trying to determine a trigger, like 5 or 10 or 20 pips below the 8MA first, THEN set the Buy EA ...

Yes, I may try the BE+10. I used the trailing stop in place of a specific TP and many successful trend traders I studied will closely follow a TS in a fast moving market. However, I may put in a specific TP such as, 200, or it might be better to ...

My test — I'd like to share my test results from just this month. I know that's not a good comprehensive sampling but I'm tired of looking at the charts just now. I went through all 27 or 28 currencies that I have in my list and applied these ...

Yes you can edit the currency list easily. Instead of dragging the indicator to a chart, right click and choose Modify. Then look for the list and add or remove the ones you want and Save. You can remove the spread too, but you'll have to dig a ...

I ran the first week 24 hrs and then checked the W/L. I would have lost less by limiting hours. Next week ran limited from 2200-900 (0600-1700 GMT). Still more losses than wins. Have to look at convergence too I guess.

I too am curious about Steve's new EA but is anyone here showing steady gains with the autotrader? If so, what settings are you using? 24 hrs? Do you ever turn it off? I am having more losses than wins with the default settings. tx.

multiple trades — I too just had 3 USDCHF trades open and close within a few minutes, in the same bar. Not sure why this happened. Default settings except time. And of course I got stopped out before price made its move.

Looks like Bob is going back to 4H charts and changing the parameters a bit. Will your EAs work on both 1H and 4H since the Beast is designed for 1H?

Hi, Steve. I had the same thing occur once on Friday in the EURGBP during the 1200 GMT hour. A Sell trigger occurred at 12:02 @ .8426, price moved to the 15 pip BE, SL moved to 3, price reversed and stopped out at 12:55 @ .8423 and then the bot ...

Bob, are you talking about the 240 and the 48? I meant the 240 and the TMA, as the TMA returns to the 240 indicating the possible trend reversal. If TMA is below 240 indicating DT, as the TMA gets closer to the 240 at what point do you wait or ...
