Hi!

In attachment you can find new set file for EURUSD M5 which works on Price Action 2.2 with hedging turned on.

Below example for 2013.01.01-2016.10.27 with hedging instead of SL (with modelling quality=99,9%):

Means that the stop-loss or take-profit levels are set to close to the current market price. In the MQL documentation this error is called ERR_INVALID_STOPS («Invalid stops»). Some Forex broker set the minimum distance between the current price and the stop-loss/take-profit levels to prevent scalping or abusing the quote delays.

Hi Dominik,
Thank you for the EA and set. I used PAEA22_EURUSD_M5.set and PRICE_ACTION_EA_2.2.ex4 from the first of Nov 2016 to 8th Dec 2016 and made a profit factor of 1.54. Does that sound about right for the new data?

How do you determine when to optimise and how far back to get a good .set for the future?

Have you thought about adding a 50 SMA/EMA and only opening buy trades that are above the MA or sell trades that are below the MA so in the trend of the market?

Will you release the .mq4 or how will this work in the future?

Cheers
Tim

Hi Tim!

In a few days I’ll release the new version with some new options and it will be free to use. As always, new version should be optimized and I think that it can be done on data from 2012-now for M5 timeframe.

I tested many different filtering based on Moving Averages and there was even second EA some time ago called Price Action Moving Averages which I combined with Price Action Engulfing Candles. It worked very good on higher timeframes as H1 and H4 and in next version of current Price Action EA I’ll restore functionality of “Price Action Moving Averages”.

If you have any questions or ideas about this EA I suggest to discuss it in that topic: https://theinvestbay.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=2

Regards!

Hi Dominik, everyone.

Just done some backtests on EURUSD 5min, I used tickstory 2010 – end of 2016. Results look similar to yours with 99.90% modelling quality.
Reference: zip file attachment with back test results for 2010-2016

So my biggest thing with EA’s is people do so much curve fitting to make them look good, my question has this been done here? with all the different preset settings for each individual currency pair? because I then back tested this same pair (EURUSD) from 2007-2010, 3 years before the ideal preset for EURUSD on this forum. The results were terrible,
Reference: zip file attachment with back test results for 2007-2010

If the results for the 3 years before all the backtests have been done are this bad, in theory all forward tests are not going to look as good either. It’s a complex EA and the more complex an EA is the more people curve fit their results unintentionally most times.

Regards all.

Hi!

EA for M5 was really overfitted with all those filters and I think it should be optimized without them on higher timeframes. I have many ideas how to improve this Price Action EA and get back to original idea – pure price action. When I’ll find some time I’ll do it for sure.

Regards!

Hi Dominik
It show error Tester:#40 delete due to expiration.

Hi Tuutaa! Are you sure that it’s an error? Probably it’s only information that PENDING orders are deleted (closed) because of expiration. It’s OK, don’t worry
