As to your question about two types of reversion… just from looking at the posted chart I would say one type is slow and the other one is fast? Comparing time it took price to move away vs time it took it to come back?

thanks for the invite. I joined your Beta. Very currious to see what you came up with.
I trade mostly gold (XAUUSD) so was hoping to see your system’s results for this asset. But looking over the dashboard I don’t see it. Is it only available in the paid subscription plan?

Anyway, great job with this project. Will follow closely.

Vlan

Will do.

I need to reread your discussion with simplex about this, I remember you had different views on how to calculate it. Personally, I’m for your approach. If not for anything else, then simply for the fact that you have been using it with this strategy and it has been working for you.

What about TP?…[Read more]

Thanks for v1.4. I finally tested it, works fine on my side.

I checked the reported error, and looks like 0 value for STOPLEVEL doesn’t necessarily mean no restrictions:

A zero value of MODE_STOPLEVEL means either absence of any restrictions on the minimal distance for Stop Loss/Take Profit or the fact that a trade server utilizes…[Read more]

I’m away until next week, so would you please make and post the next EA version 1.4 with the news filter from @fuzzy?
Thanks.

@fuzzy, thanks for contributing, good work.

V.

sorry for the absence. We are finishing a project at work that is already overdue so I haven’t had time for anything else these days.

Currently Missing functions from the EA are:

– partial orders closing management function (this is keeping us from using simplex’s DynTP)

– news filter – @Emonts is/was working on this, but lately has…[Read more]

Once we have new the partial orders management function, we won’t need this rule anymore.

V.

Yes, there are several ways to do this, but can not say I really like either of them:

– keeping track of partially closed orders in some kind of list as you suggested. Here I would suggest using out-of-ea storage place so the ea can continue to work even after ea/mt4/windows restart.

– using order comment to store order’s initial…[Read more]

I reply to your post here, as I think this one point is more of technical nature than trading logic.

“…In case you wanted a BE logic, but no partial close, you would have to call the partial close function anyway…”

MoveStopLossToBreakEven() is a separate function, so you can call it without calling PartialClose function.

But I…[Read more]

Added changes were made based on @GG53 ideas in post here and here

Still missing:
– FFCal – avoid trading before/after news. Emonts and jaguar sent me some version of ffCal library, but I couldn’t get them to work. See here.

– Limit orders – functions for placing LimitOrders is included in the EA, but af…[Read more]

The condition by itself is OK, because 99999 is not less than 120, so it will not set ContinueTrading=false; and will continue trading.
My problem was that the indicator returned those same values every time. But it was in backtesting, so I was thinking that was the reason. But now I tried to run the ea on live chart with news coming in and…[Read more]

What about the one posted by @Lowphat here which is already part of the v.1.2 ?

When forward testing I didn’t notice any repainting, and peak through areas match with simplex indicator so the logic should be also good.

Anybody agrees or disagrees?

V.

I copied the code you posted here but keep getting these values from the indi throughout a day full of news:

MinToNews = 999999

MinSinceNews = 0

The following condition then causes the EA to…[Read more]

Hi John, I’m trying to add the FFCal_mini to our EA, but I can’t get it to work. I can try only backtesting as there are no news at this time.

MinToNews = 999999

MinSinceNews = 0

The following condition then causes the EA…[Read more]

regarding the pre-trading conditions:

FFCal -> @Emonts contacted me by PM and sent me a mqh file for this with example on how to call the functions. Now he’s fixing it so it works with prefix/postfix pairs. So this one is covered.

Max. Spread -> I’ll implement this one

Came back from the weekend and see great posts

I saw @Lowphat posted in the ‘chat’ thread an indicator that is according to GG53 rules regarding the peak-throughs so I updated the EA.  Place the ClearMethod.mq4 inside ‘Indicator’ folder.

Thanks @Lowphat for contributing.

The entry is still at the bar ‘Close’ and places Stops at…[Read more]

I couldn’t reupload plain source files without the server changing the name all the time. I think it’s because there are files with the same name on the server already. So I zipped them. Hope it works.

Meanwhile, has anybody thought about how to implement these ideas from GG53:

As I understand it, peak and through areas are defined by relative positions of Highs and Lows. And as long as a candle is being formed, it’s High or Low…[Read more]

@simplex  yes, as I understand it, the EA will need volume data, so it will be very helpful if you can provide some volume functions. We’ll see later on what exactly they should do. Also, running the EA on H4 may make it a little harder to get those volume data as H4 bars don’t ne…[Read more]

Thank YOU @GG53 for sharing your knowledge with us.

One thing I’m not sure though, is how should the EA behave if the latest bar caused the through change to peak, and at the same…[Read more]

I looked at your code and noticed you take only ‘pure’ blue/red volume bars. Don’t know if it was your intention or not, but a blue/red bar can appear even if white volume is > 0. In that case, the last green dot would have appeared one bar earlier.

V.

Should the size of the wick be also evaluated?

Here is a version using just conditions from this thread.

V.

To determine trend direction I used GG53’s Gadi_Trend_v1.3 from the Killing Zone.

I also added logic so that once all the above conditions are met, the indi waits for the volume to change in the same direction and only then paints the dots.

Vlan

according to GG53’s explanation in the Killing Zone thread at FF (post 1086), the white bar means: Volume is not moving the price in any significant direction (“Doji”).

Vlan

It uses GG’s Gadi_NormalizedVolume_v2.2 for volume information.

The indicator paints bars according to GG’s rule.

The direction of the bar is given by the direction of the candle.

The size of the bar is calculated based on the volume change and inverted candle’s range change meaning: the bigger the volume[0] and smaller the…[Read more]
