TickStorm - Free EA in development

Hi there !

TickStorm is the result of a 6 months team research and integrates a new approach in the art of ticks analysis.

The EA operation algorithm uses retracements velocity to decide if there is a trading opportunity or not.

These retracements are spotted by analyzing several ticks matrices on different periods of time and confronting them together in order to gain an edge over the market. We developped new tools to efficiently detect any unusual activity in the flow of thousands of variables.

We also created an original and adaptive closing process that kicks in as soon as a position is opened. It closes the biggest losing trades by zeroing them with a few winning positions under certain circumstances and even integrates our proprietary “Neutralizer Mode” in case of an erratic market movement.

The code has been heavily optimized to deliver blazing execution speed despite its complexity.

Warning : Because TickStorm works like a tick surgeon, high-quality database should be used to correctly backtest it. Keep in mind that forwardtesting is the best way to reveal its true potential.

TickStorm has been designed to trade GBPUSD M1 and EURUSD M1. Set files are provided (don’t use default settings).

Tell me what you think about it :slight_smile:

Set files are included in the zip file for EU and GU.

mmmmm. Should I get results like this bro

Tested with tickdata from Dukascopy on Birts Tickdata Suite. EURUSD on preset. Period 02/01/2012 to 31/08/2017. Commision set at $7 in/out and swap at todays rates. No slippage incorporated.

Hi _bob !

Thanks for stopping by. I was starting feeling alone :slight_smile:

Can you redownload the file in the first post ? We just upgraded the .set files…

During the test phase, we discovered that TDS wasn’t as accurate as TickStory concerning the database retrieval.

Best regards

Done bro. But afraid results no better

Personally I found TDS just kicks butt over TS. Especially since the recent upgrades and personal correspondence with the owner. Also compared to my broker (IC Markets) data I can’t find any discrepancy.

One presumption but, the bot is designed for 5 digit brokers

Can you only test 2016-2017 to see if your results match ours ?

Have a look at this : Tickstory • View topic - Difference at Tickstory and Tick Data Suite

Those dates are included in the tests.

Otherwise that linked thread states nothing. I used to use TS but as stated since the upgrade of TDS well it’s like chalk and cheese. Just my personal experience. I don’t filter data period. I want it to be pure as one can get. And again, its just my personal experience.

And its way past my bedtime. Draghi made me a couple of pips so nighty night all.

See you later, I hope.

Have a good night !
