Additional EA added
April 6, 2011 Leave a comment
I’ve added an additional EA to the fray. This one uses MACD states to define the market states. I’m only using 2 timeframes in this case, because if I were to use three I’d wind up with 4,096 market states with very rarified statistics.
As a result of the new addition, I’ve rearranged things a bit. There are now two columns and three rows in the broadcast. The left column has the 1/5/15 timeframes, and the right column shows the 1/30/60 timeframes. The rows show the DMA, MAFR, and MACD versions from top to bottom respectively.
I accidentally left the multiple order setting active for the MAFR 1/5/15 version on Monday, with pretty disastrous results. Suffice it to say that this EA is no longer in the positive. As for the new guy on the block, the MACD 1/5 version got off to a good start, being already up 43 pips since its debut last night on only 2 trades. I should mention its second trade did a great job of nailing the rise in EURUSD today between 14:57 and 17:28 GMT.
Another thing I noticed is that the SL and TP levels were not being dynamically updated in certain EAs, and some were missing their exit signals. I figured out where the bug was and fixed it, but I can’t implement it until tonight. I’ve also tightened up my configuration control procedures to try and keep these issues from reoccurring.
Stay tuned…
