I found a source code, need some help

[uyscuti08]

Hi lads.
I was reading couple of article on spectral analysis when I found an interesting thesis from the university of Jonkoping.
The thesis actually contains a source code of a MT4 EA.
I tried to load and compile but got a few errors.I am not a programmer so therefore I cant fix this EA.
Can someone help me out please. I am really curious what this ea might be able to do and achieve.

where is the url? see if i could make them using fxdreema?

[uyscuti08]

I was able to reduce the error numbers from 14 to 7
Few errors are happening because the code contains the page numbers too I try to upload the code ....

Done.

You have it here: https://fxdreema.com/shared/VcPwwgNuc

they used custom indicators named:
CoronaCyclePeriod
CoronaDFT_v1
Homodyne
Goertzel_Cycle_v1
Instant Trendline Filter
Moving Average (weighted mode, period 4)
another MA with dynamic period
bolliger bands
RSI
MACD
CCI
Stochastic

each indicator has own parameters,
so much combinations can contains at least the one combination of parameters, where on the specific timeframe for specific pair exist one specific profitable strategy - but that is the history where each one is general, it is gone ....

Well done Miro! Thanks a lot for your help.
This is the full description of the strategy,but I assume we wont be able to rebuild the EA they were using.

Anyway this is an interesting topic.I bought a robot yesterday and that one using the spectral analysis.I want it to understand deeper the strategy.

[miro1360]

you can recreate it, but you must have (or manually create) these indicators:
CoronaCyclePeriod
CoronaDFT_v1
Homodyne
Goertzel_Cycle_v1
Instant Trendline Filter

But I deeply doubt about profitability of that strategy

I just started with fxdreema around 3 months ago.I dont know much about programming.(basically nothing)I am happy if I can correctly define and put in the constants and variables. I am still at the very beginning of the learning process.I made already couple of EAs. Actually 1 is extremely profitable but unfortunately Is based on martingale I know that is not a favorite strategy for 99% of the traders but from the beginning of the year till today from 1000$ went to a price of a small apartment I have ideas how to make it more safe but implementing this in the EA for me takes 1000x more time,and a lots of research and test.
But I love the process to build something good!
So a big fat THANK YOU for all of those guys and girls here whom are helping the new community members to understand better the process. Fxdreema is a fantastic piece of software or tool or magic ,call it how you wish

[miro1360]

what happens if you run that EA from 2015?
martingale is good when it has the limit, lets say after 3 multiplies it will reset ... if no and rather continuation is taken, one must count with bankruptcy

[uyscuti08]

With this extreme settings cant make it through the year 2015=Taygetus Positive
(The steps are -55 pips and each add on is 300% of the current volume. Also the break even and TP is adjusted to achieve maximum profit)

If I change some setting to make it "more safe", lets say the steps from -55 to -100 and I change also the add on % from 300% to 200% ,after 10 pip profit move to BE (5 pips)It will make it through 2015,achieving 100% profit(I know this is sound weird but knowing this is martingale I think this profit is not enough.Regarding the fact the EA still can blow up your account in a day you are taking to high risk for this relatively small profit)Dont get me wrong,I am happy with the normal TP and SL EAs if they do around 5% per month in average.

I run the test now from 2015 with safe mode 74.1% still in live

[uyscuti08]

It will pass the test

[miro1360]

now you should run these EAs with different settings on demo forward you can run also with small account live ... and tell us what happens ...

been paid member for 2nd month and i yet to play and test martingale methods.. all MA based... for EU pair, bad year is from 2015 and 2016 where most of my EA will have huge DD..

[uyscuti08]

This one is based on daily alligator unique settings. This is the first option how I determine the main trend. Second option is bollinger on smaller timeframe. Here again I have tested few options when to enter trade.crossing the lower band from below,or crossing the lower band from above,crossing middle band and so on. As you saw if I increase the step to add on volume to -100pips will survive the last 3 years. I have ideas how to make it more safe,how to make entrys more precise and when not to trade, but I dont know yet how to build in the robot. As I said,I just started with fxdreema recently.
