Look forward to see how you guys do.
Here is what is happening at present. Applied to 26 pairs. Not EURC
Humph . . . really don’t care for these - I’ll get the FXJunction links in soon.
Thats not so good. The EA is loosing.
How are those trading the system manual doing currently?
Interesting the only drawdown im getting is from CHF pairs at the moment, im not too fond of trading this pair on Wicks for me at least.
I finally hooked up 30a to my fxjunction account, it’s account D.
I’m getting weird stops by the EA. I have it set to stop at +3 pip after the breakeven point, but I’m getting +8 to +12 pip stops.
Other than that, my only DDs are from GBPCHF and EURGBP at the moment.
The way the EA is placing trades is right on target with my manual trades though, just the way it’s being managed is off a little bit from what I can see.
Also note, the thing with this strategy is your balance will oscillate back and forth until a strong trend is caught, then your balance will sky rocket until the trend ends, then back to oscillating until the next trend is caught.
Ouch! When did you start this round of testing?
To be fair im getting the same results as Alto, your right Windsor we just need to be patient until the next big trend comes along.
Perhaps if we trade the major pairs primarily we can reduce drawdown?
Will be interesting to see what happens monday
Yes, this is clearly a trend follower. The question is where can it max out on DD. in choppy times. Maybe we should consider simply increasing the “Min Pips to Enter” to try and keep it out of chop. Have not yet had a look at that but will do so.
Hi Guys,
Been spending the last few days reading up on 91 pages of posts. Great work on the EA.
Just downloaded v27c and plan to run demo on it next week.
Any chance of me getting v30 for testing?
Want to contribute to get this EA to perfection…
Much to my annoyance my laptop failed to get past the Welcome screen on Saturday afternoon. Being just demo’s the accounts were not backed up on another machine so it was a backup to initial system, 21 updates and a re-install of a couple new accounts. Nuisance. I will have to change MyFxBook again.
This install I have left out all my fancy windoze enhancement tools and will run a near virgin copy of windoze XP Pro 32. Only ring in is BitDefender AntiVirus. So another try.
Hi guys, quick update regarding the Wicks EA, Windsor and Alto spotted some SL errors in the latest version of the EA (thanks for spotting guys). So when James has some time he will rework the EA and were test it, so if you don’t hear anything from us don’t worry it is being worked on and once we are bug free we will release it
Happy trading everyone
Blimey didnt realise we got to 91+ pages lol.
At the moment v30 has some SL bugs in it which Windsor and Alto spotted so we want to get these fixed before we release it as we don’t want people to have an EA which does not work how Windsor trades manually. Also sometimes in a day James can get out 3/4 versions of the EA and we don’t want to annoy people on babypips with a new EA everyday as i know some people will get impatient and leave this thread which we really don’t want to do.
What i recommend keep an eye on this thread and contribute in any way once we have it ready you can test it out to your hearts content if you have any ideas of how to reduce drawdown etc fire away.
v27c is very similar to v30 it just has a few more bugs but it will be good enough for you to see what you will get in the finished version
JUST DO NOT PUT IT ON A LIVE ACCOUNT YET ! - DEMO TRADE ONLY FOR NOW
Found another one Sandy Beach, will send over the details to the group. I’m sure it’s something simple to fix, or perhaps it’s just I’m using the wrong EA lol.
James (jbentz) will get a new version of the EA out in circulation soon for you all to help forward test. Please stay patient a while longer while James fixes a few more bugs we found.
Thanks!
Why did this thread die?
Im checking daily for the v30 update after reading all 92 pages, looking forward to James update and testing.
Great system guys, looks very promising. I’m having issues installing the Movestop EA though on MT4. I copy the movestop.mql4 into the Metatrader/Experts folder. But the EA option menu is greyed out. Can someone please advise me how to fix this? Can’t seem to get it working…
You won’t need it as the EA has this all built in. I have never traded this method manually but usually when an EA is greyed out it means you have only the ex4 and not the mq4. Will still work but you just can’t get to the code. - OK just had a look, the stopstep is an mq4 file and you have it in the right place so maybe you have some setting wrong. I assume you have an open trade to place it on. Probably won’t do anything if not placed on a trade.
Thanks for the reply altostrader. I’m new to the whole EA side of things, never used one before. I have used indicators before.
“I assume you have an open trade to place it on. Probably won’t do anything if not placed on a trade.” Can you please explain what you mean by this? Do I need to make actually place an order for the EA to begin working?
