This EA has been going through major development over the last couple of weeks. Demos have been turning good results and enhancements are being on a regular basis. The latest version (1.5.0) released today now includes 8 different entry options. The options can be chosen individually or multiples can selected. Also, each entry has it’s own settings providing even greater control over how and when the EA opens new orders.

The entry options now included are AshFX, AshFX II, Coin Toss, Heiken Ashi, Moving Average, MyFutureBAT, PipNailer, and SynergyMethod.

I would also like to mention that the EA Data Analyzer site continues to make progress and the database now contains over 17,000 trades from all the demos and live accounts that are running my EAs. Also, I’ve dusted off the DailyHighLow Indicator and was inspired to start a DailyHighLow demo which will be coming soon based on the original Daily95 setup and other demos like MyFutureBAT and RollerCoaster have been running for some time now as well.

I wanted to let everyone know whats been happening and what is going to be happening.

First things first… I’ve been working hard on the EADA behind the scenes but it’s still at least a month away from completion. My apologies to those who’ve been waiting but this has proven to be a large task for a single developer (me) to complete but it will be completed.

Second… I’ve completed working with Ben to get the CrazyPyramid AutoTrader coded. He and I are testing for the next 2 days or so. If everything looks ok with it then I plan to post it under the “Expert Advisor (Downloads)” section. Anyone with a Lifetime membership will have the chance to download this EA and test it themselves.

For those who are not familiar with the strategy, you should take a look at the links below.

It’s an exciting twist and has proven through Ben’s demo testing to be profitable.

Also, Ben and I have both began using MyFXBook.com to keep track of our demo testing. You can view the latest results in our signatures.

My personal testing has included AshFX, MyFutureBAT, and the WeeklyOpen for now and will expand over time. Updated posts have also been made to their appropriate threads on each of these demos.

and a final FYI on Lifetime membership…

On Saturday (October 31st) I am raising the price for Lifetime members to $500. Existing Lifetime members are covered and anyone who had access to an individual EA will still have access to everything they had before. As a result of the increase I will be offering subscriptions again for $50/month. Any member who keeps a subscription for a full 12 months ($600) will be automatically upgraded to Lifetime membership status. Of course subscriptions may be canceled at any time and it’s a good way for new users to try the EAs. EAs available to subscription members will time out at the end of each month but will be able to work for live or demo accounts.

For any Lifetime members… You should download the EA Data Analyzer client in the downloads section if you’re running any demo accounts. Even though the website’s front-end is not complete the database is still growing with trades from anyone testing with this software installed. In fact, we currently have 11,453 completed trades in the database right now. Every demo, EA, and settings variation helps make the data more useful and will eventually allow everyone to view those results through the website.

If you would like to take advantage of the current price please click here. At the moment there are 14 different EAs for Lifetime Members.

Just thought I should say something for those who are wondering…

I am making progress with the Data Analyzer site although it has proven itself to me that the task is greater than I originally imagined. I will complete the site but it’s taking longer than I anticipated.

In the mean time, The database is growing with over 10,000 completed trades on a number of different Forex EAs (AshFX, AshFX II, RollerCoaster, PipNailer, MyFutureBAT, SynergyMethod, etc.). Some very solid results have been made showing profits with AshFX and MyFutureBAT. I’m sure there are others but this is just a result of me taking a close look at those 2 directly.

Please be patient, the EA Data Analyzer site will be completed and new EAs will be developed.

I would also like to mention that the current cost for Lifetime membership to my site is $100. This gives the user the ability to download and use any EA I currently have developed and any EAs I will develop in the future. This one-time payment will be going up shortly after the release of the EA Data Analyzer site. If you would like to take advantage of the current price please click here. At the moment there are 13 different EAs for Lifetime Members.

A majority of my day has gone into installing MetaTrader, configuring it, installing the EA Data Analyzer client, and setting up some initial demos. I’ve installed MetaTrader 50 times on my VPS (10 of each for Alpari UK, Forex.com, FXCM, FXDD, and IBFX). All 50 have been updated to the latest versions as well. Days like today remind me of what a pain in the butt all this is but I’m glad it’s behind me now.

Demos…

My initial demos are all running on Alpari UK. There are 6 demos (AshFX H4, AshFX D1, AshFX II H4, AshFX II D1, MyFutureBAT H4, and MyFutureBAT D1) all with default values for the most part. The only changes I’ve really made in the settings are turning on Money Management for 3%. For the MyFutureBAT demos I’ve configured a large take profit and have decided on all demos to let the EAs manage the exits with no trailing stops other than PSAR with AshFX systems and the BAT line with MyFutureBAT. Several trades have already been placed and all information is being uploaded to my server with the EA Data Analyzer client. I will be expanding my testing to include other EAs and brokers over time but feel I’ve accomplished enough for right now.

I look forward to completing the Analysis website and finding out what works and what doesn’t. I also thank all those who have chosen to contribute by downloading my client and are now uploading active trade data along with my own. Over time I have big plans and am excited to see how it all unfolds.

Questions? Comment? Please post them on the site.

Thanks again to all those who have supported me along the way.

Over the past several months there have been issues with my EAs and how they perform on brokers with an additional digit of precision like Alpari. Much time has been spent resolving these issues and I’m now pleased to announce that many bugs have been worked out of the EAs. In addition, there have been revisions to money management and other items as well. Every Expert Advisor listed below has been revised…

AshFX, AshFX II, BreakoutSentinel, DailyHighLow, DailyHighLow Reverse, GrabMyOrders, MyFutureBAT, PipNailer, ProfitLossTally, RollerCoaster, SynergyMethod, TossUp, and WeeklyOpen.

Thanks again to all those who have supported me along the way.

I just wanted to let everyone know that great progress is being made with the AshFX, AshFX II, and PipNailer EAs. Most of the problems as of lately have been due to the addition of money management and the fact that what the EA starts with may be different in the background based on money management calculations. Basically it had a ripple affect on the way these EAs handled open orders and what needed to be done with them during certain stages.

Anyways, the good news is they are well on their way to being rock solid again and I hope to be uploading the newest revisions in the next couple of days. The latest demos I’m running are FXDD and Alpari UK with the same pairs and settings to match activity and how the EA performs with both types of brokers (the extra precision in Alpari).

I don’t like to release panic revisions to fix bugs so I hope you’ll forgive me while I get things tested 100%.

Some major work has been completed. Expert Advisors that now include money management are AshFX, BreakoutSentinel, DailyHighLow, DailyHighLow Reverse, MyFutureBAT, PipNailer, RollerCoaster, SynergyMethod, and WeeklyOpen. Also, version numbering has been revised to more easily track changes to the EAs.

I know it’s been a long wait but I’ve just completed some new and exciting revisions to the AshFX and PipNailer EAs. These changes include money management, additional blackout hour settings, and new percentage settings that allow the user to adjust the percentage for take profits and stop losses. User can now configure the EA to take 55% of the suggested take profit and risk only 60% of the stop loss. Users can even increase percentages to values greater than 100% (i.e. take 125% of the suggested take profit rather than 100%). These revisions open up to two Expert Advisors to even more possibilities.

About the EA:

This thread is dedicated to the on-going development of the AshFX AutoTrader that I wrote. Please remember that I didn’t develop the AshFX strategy. Any questions regarding the actual system should be handled on forexmoments original thread at ForexFactory.com. Please use this thread as a place to post positive suggestions, bugs, and general discussion of the EA and it’s results.
The original thread for the AshFX strategy can be found here.

You can find a wealth of information and ideas at the thread listed above including many tips for manual trading and enhancement ideas for the strategy. Everything you need to know about trading this system is freely given away on that thread and even includes at least one EA that is also freely given away on that thread. That does not mean that mine is better than his because he gives it away. That also doesn’t mean that his is better than mine because it’s free either.

If you are here, and you keep reading, and even decide to buy then you’re getting an automated Expert Advisor from me that trades this system for you so you don’t have to do it yourself. What do you get with my EA? Additional features I’ve added, guaranteed support for the EA, and much more. I’ve coded in some additional things based on requests, provide videos showing how to use my EAs, tips and tricks, results, and I bring it all together in these forums. I’ve completely severed all involvment on ForexFactory.com because of the path I’ve chosen developing, selling, and supporting EAs that I’ve coded and stand behind. I can say with complete assurance that 99.9% of the people who’ve tracked me down here and decided to buy this EA were aware of the fact that there was a free version developed by someone else. If I were walking into people’s living rooms and holding them at gun point until they bought my EA then I would say there’s a problem but that is simply not the case here. You keep on reading… Am I forcing you to do that?

Here’s the bottom line…
The creator above has decided to give his system away freely. I’ve decided to code an EA to trade it for me automatically. I’ve made it known that my version of this EA is available but it carries a cost for my development time and the support that comes along with it. In the end I hope people will feel it’s worth it. If they don’t then there isn’t anything forcing them to stay here either.

Still not clear?
Dozens of people can freely share directions on how to get from point A to point B. You then have several choices…

• You can walk (manual trading)
• You can hitch a ride with someone going your way (free EA)
• Or I can give you a lift but I charge for gas (my EA)

Which choice is best? That’s a matter of preference and what makes you comfortable.

Still here? Here is a summary of the functions.

• Set order lot size
• MaxDiffFromOpen ensures a good entry
• Trade first strength trades only or sencond as well
• Trailing stop based on previous bar’s PSAR level
• Traditional trailing stop
• Sends e-mail when new orders are placed
• Sends e-mail of current status and history
• Chart display of profit/loss history

Special notes:

• Can be run in any time frame although Daily was used when writing and testing the EA
• It is extremely important that MT4 run all week with the charts open and EA attached. No EA can do its thing unless everything is running. That’s why you have an EA to trade for you.
• Currently supports all brokers although FXDD is preferred
