Do you use your EA for live trading?
-
I've tried SnR/Fibo/Trendlines/Reversal/HF, and i don't know how to make it perfect. I assumed because I'm a free user with limited connection, hahahaha. So i just can create an ea that needs to be monitored. Some looks perfect during backtest only. If you can share some with me very much appreciated.
-
@biztet are you profitable?
-
@biztet I did put a free very simple EA in the tutorial section. I took that one, made a few changes to it and produced a very good ea...on backtest. But I've got another EA going with a piece of that strat built in so we'll see how it goes. with forward testing
-
@jsauter86 mind share with me please?
-
-
Thanks a lot @jsauter86. Will have a try. Have you test it during critical movement? Like long spike, long trending or ranging market?
-
@jsauter86 , if you don't mind, what's in the condition block? Sorry I'm at parents, no pc here. Can't wait to know the logic inside it.
-
@biztet no, I do not consider things in my trading. I don't factor news especially. Most of my trading strategy relies on very small percentage risk, very specific timed entries, and price action. For the EA I linked, it relies on 1 indicator and price action, all across 5 different time views.
holy shit...i didnt realize the awesomeness that I just posted. hahaha the results are good. see screenshot for a 15M run of all of 2020, 10 pip spread.
-
You know what @jsauter86 , i've just seen it using team viewer to my home pc. You are right, holy shit!
You just need to add trendline to cover all buy & sell trades. And using trailing is very good. Seems like I'm going to add this one in my collection. If you are a risk taker, then you might wanna test it on gold also.
-
@biztet add trendline for what?
-
and it will only work on eurusd that efficient. that is very specific price action i am seeking.
-
@jsauter86 Trendline is for trade direction of course. Well, i'll be testing mine next week. We can make 100% weekly profit with this.
-
@biztet it even worked well if it was activate on jan 1 2019 to toay
-
@jsauter86 test it on m5.
From my view it is a very good place.
And my ea will always have trendline for trade direction. If you can test it, let me know your result. -
mt5 doesn't seem to import EAs the same way. what am i missing? I drag and drop the mq5 files with the example EA's and still can't see them on the new terminal software even after refresh of folder from inside program
-
@jsauter86 I'm guessing the compiled file in different icon? I've test on mt5 once. Same thing, not finding the file at first.
-
disregard, its not accepting the mq files i converted, it requires the ex file unlike mt4
-
interesting, i tested that free EA and while it produced vastly different results from MT4, its still pretty good. Why does it trade so much more simply changing to output software?
-
ohhh....hahahaha...the reason i used mt5 is to add the ability to trade across different pairs with 1 trade. and its working. lol thanks @l-andorrà
-
@biztet jeez....I am really happy that I can now see my best trading times, days and weeks...holy shit, thank you guys a lot. I was wasting lots of time with coding and blocking times and testing...the data is right there. All I need to do now is design a EA to take all possible good trades, then using data, eliminate all that bad times to trade. Easy. Peasy.
