Parabolic SAR robot Review - Page 5 - Pip Cop

Is it possible that the sell only works better because the last months the EUR is Bearish, but if the trend

reverses it is better to use Buy only? and what when market is ranging? use both or none? could the author tell us how long he is testing this allready,and what the results are? this could help.

I am not sure how this robot will perform in a bearish market versus a bullish one, but that is why we test, test, test.

I have not changed any settings. As far as testing done by David, I believe he did not do any forward testing prior to it getting on my site. At the time, I had not put policies in place having that as a requirement, so he managed to get in whereas new authors would not be able to do so.

As Pipcop says - I haven´t been forward testing this strategy before. Just backtested. And also in bullish market it was profitable.

take an EA such as this. then examine how it works.

what limiter or 2nd indicator

to confirm an entry would help?

as wise men have said: why reinvent the wheel? and nothing new is ever made; its just a refinement of a previous idea.

hi,
I think this Para_SAR to be the future winner of "our" EAs here, so with the $18 left from blown-out situation with y-oww, I have begun a live$ early 1-micro-mini (.01) which had already earned .13 cents. This will help early-on tell if this EA doesn't have a problem with live trading.
Has anyone done an optimization on the more recent SL

adaptation to find optimum value for the SL

yet? Is it suppose to be wide SL

like 100-200 pips to keep out of way of SAR biz, or is it suppose to be tighter-in?

Thank you for testing my strategy on live account. Please tell us if the results were different from demo. The SL

is so tight becase I was focused on low DD%. Try to change it, maybe it will make more profit

David,
Remind me, what was the weakness with this EA with no SLs? A whiplash while trade is open, such as a spike from news or NFP? I.E., it won't handle it and suddenly it'll be a big negative trade before it can "see" it and close it too late?
Just curious.
So far 2-1/2 months it's looking good on pipcop, but then.........

hi David,
Can you tell us a little story of how you managed to see this indicator

in some manner as tradeable? Is it some patter recognition using this P.SAR?
Not trying to be overly nosey, am frankly interested because we need best observer for a research thread I've got ok to spearhead with pipcop_sir_James. Hope is to design best EA using best trade observer and best analytical modules like noxapredict.com Since yours is most hopeful EA designed thus far, your trade-possibilty-observability is best so far, even if this P.SAR doesn't continue to be a champ in more months ahead, it's a small step for an FX-man, giant leap for FX-ers, as with further feedback from other traders who can chime-in slowly but surely, we can take small steps, so if/when we could get these modules and design them to show on MT4, we can employ your help if you would like to help us all in commonly having an EA that can make it thru the future.
That's why I was "nosey".........thus my Qs: "Can you tell us a little story of how you managed to see this indicator

in some manner as tradeable? Is it some patter recognition using this P.SAR?"
Hope you'd like to participate.

What does anyone think to keeping this one running demo & live each 6 months instead of 3 ??? Reason being is it's one indicator

and that usually spells sensitivity to market changes. So 6 months both demo & live is in order I believe. I started a micro live as mentioned earlier, thus 6 months after 6 months won't be necessary, as my live$ will be 3-1/2 months concurrent out of that demo 6 months at least.
Just a thought, as some spoke here foretelling other market attributes ............behooved this thought.

I prefer the 3 months range

for demos, because by then I can usually tell if its going to perform or not. Once it goes live, though, I have no time limit - per the Review FAQ - robots run until they fail.
