Momentum

 11/01/25    10:39 am

Still working on getting momentum working correctly, slowly making my way through each issue.  Initially was producing impossible values like -1251.9% when it should be between 0 - 100.  Corrected the MACD code and getting between 0 - 100% now but still not making trades.  It seems the PV2 values shift over time for whatever reason.  Perhaps it is relative to the price range of the symbol but I'm not sure.  May have to put some kind of self calibrating code in to adjust it periodically to ensure functionality...

Sigh of relief, finally making trades again.  After re-optimizing the MinLineDifference parameter (like we did on my coffee table) and re-calibrating it to much lower values.  Has gone from 0.046 to 0.011.  Quite substantial.  So if the PV2 values are going to shift over time then we definitely have to put some dynamic calibration code in there.

Restructure Repairs

Image
 08/01/25     1:28 pm Not much happening the last couples days, still working through getting all the code functioning properly after the validation restructure.  Momentum calcs totaly malfunctioned so fixing that but also putting in code to ensure everything is working the way it should be working since it is becoming more complex with the layers of validation  there needs to be checks to maintain functionality consistently. 3:24 pm This is the thread I was talking about... If you have some time it is a good read.... One thing also I have found that is common is to have the lot size set as a % of total balance so it increases exponentially as it progresses....

Red Line / White line Modes test

 04/01/25     12:28 Success.  Finally got the modes functionality working correctly.  And with the red line switched off it gained about another 1k compared to the previous tests and finished in profit at $2422.12  (2 month period since Nov 1).  Definite improvement in how early it begins trades. From the AI:      Trading Performance: Started at: $10,000 Ended at: $12,422.12 (+$2,422.12) Total trades: 38 Success: The white-line-only mode showed improved performance Key Profitable Trades: Trade #74: +$948.44 (Dec 19 06:00 - 21:00 Buy) Trade #58: +$583.56 (Dec 9 10:00 - 22:00 Buy) Trade #70: +$382.47 (Dec 17-18 Sell) Risk Management: Maximum drawdown was 9.17%      (Under 10% is great)      The Three Biggest Losses: -$317.85 (Dec 11) SELL at 87.451 Stop loss hit at 87.951 Duration: 1.5 hours Hit stop loss during momentum reversal -$236.47 (Dec 27) BUY at 89.588 Closed at 89.216 Dura...

Momentum

 01/01/25     12:38 As per our discussion I altered the way the lines were being identified by using the 0 or 1 reference built in to MT4 and this seemed to eliminate many of the clusters of bad sell trades that were losing money and consequently after the optimisation took the profit up to over $2400.  And now I will be working on adding momentum detection to the lines crossover to allow the trades to initialise earlier.  With strong momentum the line difference criteria for trade entry can be smaller and therefore closer to the crossover point. The primary indicator is the angle of the lines - closer to a 45 degree the more likely to continue and separate into a larger trend.  The AI suggested factor is magnitude , which is how many bars the direction has been consistent for.  So combining these will give an industry standard indication of momentum that can then be used to reduce the minLineDifference and open trades earlier.  I'm thinking that...
