[EA Request] Simple EA needed

[MYMAYOXMLENE]

Wouldn't one trade that never strikes the TP completely conduct your account into the ground? At the minimum, you'd need to ensure the parameter (long or short) was moving from the direction of the trend. Otherwise the commerce could finish your account.

If you are intending to implement this with a PA type of system (I am considering something like Jacko) then I can see the value in this. Otherwise, it sounds horrible.

Your stoploss is 3400 Pips due to your position dimensions.
I was able to increase a demoaccount by 70 percent in just over a month just
by randomly placing orders. This was with ~60 successive winners not taking care of the total trend. For that we can later add an MA filter.

Would you want to take a bet?
I say. Price is quite possible to go 30 Pips higher anytime instead of plummeting
3400 Pips rather than coming back. Who'd bet against me?
Isn't Forex all about Probability?

Is Not Forex all about Probability? Hi Tjpld,

that pair your demo?

I feel that the Ea can be readily done.
But after one trade, if it goes the other way, do we wait till it come back to our direction? What is your drawdown in this circumstance?

[agmeseven]

You only have one open trade at a time.
So once a transaction is in place we wait for the TP to become hint.
Otherwise we won't do anything.
I attempted it on demonstration EUR/USD. I used some Rainbow MA's to guess the short term trend in started throwing in orders which where either removed imediatelly or after one or two weeks maximum. It was really easy to double the account which took me about 75 trades. I was able to get 3 trades during daily.
If you put a long trade today you would need to wait for it to drop down 0.92xx in order to stop you out using a margin call, which will be probably a safe bet that it's more likely to get into our TP first.
The secret is to increase the position size gradually with each new commerce.
If we don't do this our journey will probably take more than necessary.

It must look like in my little excel sheet.

I just adore the concept

which TF where you analyzing it on?

[mukam]

Wouldnt it be smarter to put trades at the beggening of the week,
cos the price tends to be above or below the weekly available!???
Something like stiviet do, and just let the profit run...

[agmeseven]

Tested it. So the likelihood that your trades will probably get taken out earlier or later is greater, it would be better to watch the trend. I managed to replicate these returns with simplicity on Forex Simulator multiple occasions. No Strategy is worth if there is no sign that you may do it regularly trading.

[Menoxx]

The issue is if you get on the wrong side of the trade it may take forever before you can close that trade... and as you're having 1 trade in the time... nothing will happen.

What TP are you currently using?

[agmeseven]

30 Pips TP. For this we trade the trend.
Even though it takes longer odds are high your TP will get triggered by volatility.

I've experimented a bit you could also open both directions with your calculated lot size so there is never greater than one open commerce at one time.
Example:
LONG and SHORT at the Exact Same price with TP 30.
- Short gets taken out. Balance improved due to the profit. New brief with new (slightly higher) position size is opened. The side is kept open. Should you substract the new lotsize from our second brief trade in the very first lotsize of the long trade you have your vulnerability which should be probably only a few microlots. E.g 1.83 Long 1.92 Short = 0.09 Lots Short.
Currently price reverses and takes the old long. New long is started in accordance with current balance. Short open. And so one. You will always have a side that's winning so your balance will increase forever there is absolutely no trade which will consume your margin since 1. Position size is small and two. So you are hedged to some level, you will trade both sides at precisely the same time. ( Not fully all of the time since the sell side might increase more when price is falling and hitting the sell TP over and over again along with the extended is available together with the old Lotsize.)
At the end you simply need to wait for one trade to return.
Risk should be extremly low.
But that's only a thought wich I'd like to test out.
First I'd be pleased with what I've explained in my very first article.

[MYMAYOXMLENE]

30 Pips TP. For this we exchange the total tendency.
Even though it takes more odds are high your TP will get triggered by volatility. See, now you're changing what you had in your original post. Which is great, since, quite honestly, your post about a trade in a random direction was just plain dumb.

If you exchange with the total trend and take profits X pips at a time, I will see the value in thisparticular. However, it's still risky because (as somebody else pointed out) you could wait a little while for it to return to you. Furthermore, if you're trading with small pip TP, then timeframe doesn't make a difference, tick-by-tick testing would be required by this on any TF.

I'd alter your original requirements to:
1 - Possess a parameter for LONG or SHORT - trader places this into the total tendency
2 - Open a trade and have a small TP such as 10Pips, no SL
3 - When the TP is struck, open a new place, same direction
4 - When the current price is more than X pips from the open order (i.e. you're losing money) open another commerce, same way. I would set this at 1000 pips. The next trade ought to help bail you out if you still think in the overall trend.

10 Pips TP is to little. This would mean we have to get 3x 250 = 750 Winners for 1000% and 3x 75 = 225 Trades simply to double check it.
I've tested my bidirectional notion for the last days which was very easy to handle and my balance keeps increasing (along with equity) that adds margin to my staying order. Ofcourse once you were able to purchase to let us say 40k you'd not allow a trade down you under 10k. But that's unlikely to happen. As you're just subjected by (Lotsshort - Lotsbuy).
The arbitrary trade was because I wished to determine if a coin toss system could make you money.

good, I did a fast EA for back testing your idea.

I did it only market, TP30. Since mine is mini account with LiteForex, the tiniest let lot size is 0.1. I tweak a little that following each TP, the lot dimensions just increase by plus 0.1 more.

Month of august, the tendency is down, so sell make the account growth.
I will try buy and see whether it's mc.

[agmeseven]

Wow thanks.
I am happy to see some progress.
Yes it's quite difficult to backtest because at one point you'd
undo our order placement. The only scenario where you would have
gotten dangerously close to a margin call if you'd opend that a BUY
right at the alltime high.
Does the lotsize managment function?
So each new order has a higher lotsize like in my own dictionary?

Maybe my bidirectional Idea could be carried out by simply putting
a Market only on a single chart and a buy only on the other.
If the TPs are struck every one takes a peek at the new equilibrium.

I constantly like ideas outside the square. Try out this ea.

So each new order has a higher lotsize like in my spreadsheet?

Maybe my bidirectional Thought could be carried out just by putting
a Sell only on one chart along with a buy only on the other.
In the event the TPs are hit every one takes a peek at the new balance.
This graph indicates the idea depends on the trending months.

If buy only, the order price push to the top limit, it proceeds to the high of the month and price not comeback, possibly after few months.

If trending is correct direction, the account create quite profitable expansion.

FOr BUY only in Oct08, deposit 10000, outcomes AccountEquity: -9970
For SELL only in OCt08, deposit 10000, outcomes:AccountEquity: 33332

if two accounts open, net would be: 23332

I shall take some time to study.

[OxmayYemai]

Tjpld,
You need an EA.
I thought you're a developer.

[Nacho]

I constantly like ideas outside the square. Try this ea. Thanks for this EA.
I find that lot here are raised based on account size. Might it be possible to provide a technique to specify a normal lotsize(0.01 etc.) and also multipliion variable for raising it for successive trades?

[Nacho]

Thank You for this EA.
I see LotSize here are increased based on account size. Might it be feasible to provide a technique to specify a standard lotsize(0.01 etc.) and also multipliion factor for raising it for successive trades? Anybody willing to help out with this one? Thanks

[senyopalala]

Any updates on this system Tjpld? Forward testing still functioning?

Thanks your help is appreciated.
I shall take a while to study.

Hey Guys,

I Would like to have an EA that does the following.

1. Checks account balance divides it by 32 and from 1000.
Stores this at a variable and uses it as Lotsize.
Instance: 10000$/1000/32=0.31 Lots. So the result must
be rounded to two points.
2. Places a transaction (you can choose LONG just or SHORT just in the parameters) with fixed TP no more Stoploss.
3. After TP is struck. Start with 1. Since balance has increased now
Lotsize should grow exponentialy while retaining risk the same since
you always divide by 1000 and 32.

That is basically it.
What would be interesting, if the transaction management is determined by a Random Function rather than long or short just. But that is just not a.
Later we could include a MA filter. I've got another idea for order placement but I don't wish to ask for too much.
Following 250 Homeruns with 30 TP the balance should have increased over 1000% so that you only need to let the last transaction come home.
I only want a proof of concept for now.


Anyone interested?
