ok thanks Cairo,

Do the expert indicators not work or am I just not setting them up properly?
Trend Following, Reversal Bar etc?

this is what the guys said about the expert advisor that he intriduced:
OK chaps, I am tring to develop good and reliable system for the last 2-3 years. During this period I have tried a lot of ideas. Some of them good, others not that good.

Here, with this post, I would like to share with you my best idea,
and if you find it interesting (I doubt you will not) to start help me test it in real !

I have back tested the system and I am very satisfied with the results for ~ more than 1 YEAR :
~2200% profit !!!!
71/24 WIN/LOSE RATIO !!!!

Basically the idea is :
I Use Moving average of Oscilator (OsMA ), Force, Parabolic SAR, at 1H EURUSD ONLY. The values are :
1/ Moving average of Oscilator - Slow MA=35, FAST MA=12, MACD SMA=9
2/ FORCE - 160, Simple, Close
3/ SAR - SarStep=0.01 SarMax=0.2

Target Profit is set to 300 pips, Trailing Stop = 75 pips!

BUY when OsMA is crossing upwards the 0.001 value if FORCE > 0 and SAR value < Current Price and the last 5 bars (hours) move was less then 100 pips !
SELL - vice versa.

CLOSE LONG - If SAR Value > Current price and Force <0
CLSOE SHORT - vice versa!

When Closing Long - if Force < 0 opens short position with twice the size of the previous position!
When Closing Short - vice versa!

Awlays I use not more than 5% of the equity to open position.
(5% is the current defaut value), so in certain cases I will be exposed with a maximum 10% of my account ( the rule where I open poition oposit to the previously closed with twice the size)

I use Trailing stop = 75 pips on a specific way. When the price goes in my direction with 75 pips I move the stop loss with 75/2 = 37 pips from the opened level and so on until the position is closed by the a.m. rules or the profit target is hit...

That is it - pretty simple!


I use only METATRADER - to me that is the best available trading, charting and analytical software. You may find my code in the attached file. It is absolutely functional with one exeption - with the current versions of Metatrader 3.xx it is not possible to close a position and to open immediately a new one. So when testing online this will not work and have to be done manually. Metaquotes are sayng that in their next 4.xx version this will work... we will see.

Awaiting your comments.

Regards,
Ivan.
