Hi Milton,

Coincidentally I’ve been doing exactly the same as you (see my latest blog entry). I tried breeding traders for the FTSE and whilst they were fantastically profitable on the trained data, they were very poor on new unseen data. I think you need to be careful to tune the parameters so you end up with something that has general ability rather than something that is an expert on the limited data that you’ve trained it on. You also need to be careful that your data set represents a range of market conditions i.e. bull, bear, sideways, etc.

I notice that you are using prefix notation, I use Scheme which is really ideally suited to this. It would be good to keep in touch.

Regards

Andrew

Hi Pablo, I really haven’t progressed it very far which is unfortunate.

Hi Guilherme, Yes you understood that more or less correctly, just an index in an array 0 is the latest item.

You need to make at least 2 programs, one is for entries one for exits.

Hi Michael,

I’d be happy to fix the credit url however I’ve no idea where the link should now point.

Hi!
Just for understanding, when reading SMA100[2] and ATR20[1], does it means lag 2 function on the indicator SMA 100 peirods and lag 1 on Average True Range 20 periods?

Another question:

How do you get an exit signal? Just by waiting a reversal signal from the formula?

Good Luck!

Would you please fix the URL to the creator of the drawing? I stole that one for my own blog and wish I could give some credits…

Hi,
my name is Ed, I’m 40yo and also from Sydney. I have been a trader for about 10 years and am on a quest to reduce my screentime and increase my profitability also.
I have a project that is 75% of the way there however it is in need of a skilled mq4 programmer (which I am not)to get it fully automated. Currently the system is semi automated and is very profitable.
If you are interested in finding out more please shoot me an email.
