SampleMACD!?!? Would you get a load of this!?

[Batchboy]

If anyone else would also like a free demo unit in exchange for lite beta like testing please message me!
Given proper follow-thru you will upon needing the live$ unit receive a name/broker stamped live$ one........as that matress salesman says: "Freeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!" (or is that only in SoCal? )
In order to keep track of whom is going for this as opposed to anyone else please post first on this thread that you're interested, that way later I can check your on the beta user list, and not on some demo-hand-out list (which you could also ask for but live$ later-on wouldn't be free).

It just closed for another profitable 75 pip bagger! And opened another trade immediately thereupon!:

ps: the 2 earlier losing trades was when 1) Had Sample MACD still, and 2) was a moment when wrong pair was on chart., otherwise things moving along in a "somebody pinch me!" mode!

I have found that the Scientific feature is working, it is an incorporation in SoftWyer-Lib (1ka) in libraries file. It forces live$ performance to behave like it would when replicated in tester with setting of "opens only", thus modeling quality is tossed as an issue, it also makes the optimization bypass ticks thus is extremely faster!
I find that this mode as "true" works because I switch from opens-only back to ticks and the test results are the same.
Here is current optimization and back-test on AlpariUS demo:

Very nice back-test. I also like your live statement. I am encouraged. Could it be?

I am still running the optimize. Into the third day. I will test 'scientific method' when this one is complete.

I am forward testing TripleHeaderMACD on a demo but the settings are very long term. I need to find more MOR (middle-of-the-road) settings. I am also forward testing
my own variant called FL_MACD. It just completed it's fourth trade with no losers.

Well, well, well!!! My $100 AlpariUS micro account has just had its first good trade! 20 pip bagger. It took 25 hours, must have gone south a few times in wet-doo-doo land (drawdowns, LOL), but that's the miracle of this kind of TA-like discovery, maybe it is a positive indication of where the support or resistance line to be broken are, don't know, but it works! Kind of makes sense though, where there could be short time period burst of activity then that is where they will unload the trade too??? Just making that up, but maybe it's as good as any theory as to why, LOL. If the brokers watch 1/3rd of these trades he probably is flabergasted that such a trade picked out of seeming nowhere and keeps flopping away from any hope of closing in the black some hour or day finally does close good, flabergasting!
Alrighty-then! And Rick is coming along too with optimization, oooo-haaaa!

PS: This is finally the proof that I wanted to see about optimizations yielding the on average performance into the future, I had hoped I'd see some evidence of this with Invis EA, but due to not enough live$ data to optimize on and such difficulties it wasn't to be, instead sooner than later TripleHeaderMACD did it for me Very very nice.

Speaking of

gone south a few times in wet-doo-doo land (drawdowns, LOL)

, I have an Ambush trade (EURCHF) on my live account right now that is in deep, wet-doo-doo. This trade was picked incorrecly right off the bat. As soon as I placed my sell order, the pair took off north. Too bad because my deposit to my live account just came through and I want to run MegaDroid at 50%.

[Batchboy]

EURCHF w/ this MACD stuff? Hope not, been only doing EURUSD.
I also posted in Megadroid thread I'm backing off from 50% due to occasional SLs the EA sets that are rather larger, one becomes more sensitive to these things the larger the account (), one fast move like you just had and wow, goodbye a huge percentage of account! I've bcked-off to 20%. For Ken Long he's even backed-off more from even 20%!

Not with MACD EA dude. Like I said, an Ambush trade.

I was just kidding about running MD at 50%. I would not even consider it. 20% sounds like heart palpitation time but doable

Just did optimization runs for AlpariUK if anyone interested, here are the results as I passed to programmer 1ka, as he lives in UK so most likely will be running unit with AlpariUK:

As the url shows by name, one is the pick for a no loser in 8 months. If you're starting off with a small $100 account like me it is best to use the parameters from that one (shown in report of course), this is due to picking parameters from a result with some losers isn't handleable by an account doing .01 lot, money-management can't go lower than that .01 (notice we're talking about 1-mini per $1K which on these Alpari's is .1 per $1K), so best to stick with safest setting 'til a account grows or you add more money, in which case the second result "topGAIN" (which was the top profiter on this optimization run) is worth the occasional loser, for those settings there were 6 losers out of the 155 trades, but the 88X of an account "instead of just" 36X (LOL ) is extra nice worth those occasional 1/3rd dips in the account.

I wasn't happy with seeing how often recently one platform on one account was doing a trade and not the other when the .set was the same, so I made a wee-bit leap in presuming the problem could be the smallest periodicity as to size of open & close values and sensitivities thereof and went to 5min to have EA operate on larger open & close values, in this case 150 & 250 instead of levels down around 10. I picked top performer out of the optimization line-up and WOW! With money-management on $1K turning into $347K in 10 months, holy mackerel! That's with only 5 stop-losses hit on the way.
The EA is set to operate on 5min as you'll see in the parameters, and the Scientific feature stays on to operate on only the opens as the tester is put at "opens only".
Have a gander, wondrous site, hope there isn't any more problems in the way to have it go forth into fruition:

Oh, am happier there isn't ultra longish period of no trading, seems instead of a couple months it's only weeks between worst case infrequent trading periods, so thank goodness for some small favors!
I have set Berts & Anthony's and mine accounts on these settings, only thing I worry about is optimization was on AlpariUS demo because IBFX platform wasn't budging with some 5min back-data and many of these accounts are IBFX live$, buuuuuuut, I looked at the bar patterns and they seem quite similar dispite different brokers, so hopefully much of the time the open/close values will work ok.
