Follow Crescendo V1.4 Beta Live Trading!
Salve a tutti,
great news! I just opened a new section in PimpMyEA.com blog: Live EAs.
In this section of the blog you can LIVE(!!) follow EAs trading.
And the first EA in that section is Crescendo v1.4 beta.
More EAs will come in the next days, as well as a leaderboard to compare EAs performances.
The technology is made available thanks to Gallant VPS.
I have to thank them all as this is such a great VPS solution and they worked a lot to make it available.
No other website can offer you a service like that and I’m very proud of it.
Andrea,
Do you have a recommendation (or a sense) of an appropriate risk percentage level for LTP? The latest update 1.12 seems to have made a change, perhaps to accommodate for 5 digit brokers. I had settings set to trade at 2% which now equals 1/10th of that. I’m wondering if I was being too risky before or not risky enough now. At the level it’s at now and the number of trades it is opening, profits will be quite small.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
Steve
Please post questions about LTP to the related page on PimpMyEA blog: http://www.pimpmyea.com/expert-advisors/leo-trader-pro/
In any case… I usually use fixed lot sizes
Andrea,
So how does the beta testing look so far ?
Will the plan be to release V1.4 next week sometime ?
No trades yet on pimpdaddy… so might take longer… would be my guess
No trades ?..mm, is that because trend filters are tight, meaning harder to agree with conditions to trade?
thanks !
Hi Greg,
maybe I made some mistake in the code as I wanted to avoid trading it with GBPJPY and instead it seems that it trades on GBPJPY and not GBPUSD
Later I’ll send you an updated version. I’m working on it now. Sorry but I had a strong fever in the past days and I’ve not been able to work on the PC for long time.
Andrea, if it helps – my beta test EAs HAVE been trading on GBP/USD – but only those running on 15 min time frame… 1 HR time frame has had no trades. Sorry you’ve been ill! Feel better soon. Crispin
I’ve found where the problem is… the longer period requires at least 4900 H1 bars so the trend score is not “complete” if you don’t have at least 4900 bars in your H1 chart history.
Trying to fix that problem.
Thanks for reporting!
Hi Andrea,
Hope you are feeling better again.
Can you give me about 4 reliable and consistant brokers that you have good experience with and that are well geared up (pip spread etc) to trade Crescendo. There seem to be so many around and i would like to spread my risk over 3-4 accounts/brokers
Thanks,
Jef, South Africa
Hi Jef,
I’m fine today. Thanks!
Personally I have live accounts with Alpari UK, FXDD Malta and FXPro for your same reason
They are all “european” brokers. I never had problems with any of those.
Hi Andrea,
Hope you are getting better, lot of vitamin C that’s my secret. Take good care of yourself, our trading comunity need you please once again take care.
May the univers bless you my friend.
Ps: Crescendinos get ready for the Crescendo V1.4 because its seriously DYNAMITE.

I know its a bit early to make conclusion but seing that beast in action is just incredible.
Ok – but my charts always have settings at maximum bars (512000) in chart history… so not sure if that is the whole story
Crispin
I’m building a version that checks for available bars as well as the oscillator value so that we can see where’s the problem
Hopefully I’ll send it to beta testers today.
Ok, that’s a good approach. Will look out for it!
I started a pair of hedged charts today for GBPJPY using the Long-Only Short-Only option in F7-CommonTab. Standard settings except trailing_profit = true. The trend score was +5 at the next market check, and v1.4 quickly took $122 profit within the next 3 hours.
More as it happens in hedged mode…
PS: Magic Numbers — I have the original MN’s on the two Long charts (GU/GY), and different MN’s on the two short charts, but the MN’s match up between the Short chart Inputs (as well as between the Longs).
What I’m trying to say is that for MM, Long GU and Long GY charts can see each other’s PL, and ditto for the two Short charts.
For those with minds sharper than mine: do you think it’s better for MM to match up Long GU with Short GY instead?
Hi David,
I’ve been wondering the same, because I was using that hedging approach with 1.3. It worked very well. But now we have a very useful compounding MM strategy we need to think about how to divide it between the four charts.
After some thought, I think it probably best to treat the longs separately for money management, and use different magic numbers for the shorts. Because you will have some periods when the general trend is long for both pairs (with not many short trades being triggered), and you will want the EA to compound nicely during those periods. But it’s possible that in the long run it may not make much difference which way round you choose to do it. You are basically compounding using two “half bots” – and in mathematics it doesn’t matter in which order you multiply two things together: e*(A+B)+2*(C+D) == e*(A+C)+2*(B+D) == e*(A+B+C+D). (Where e is some compounding factor and A,B,C &D are 4 sections of the EA making individual profits of $A,B,C,D.)
Crispin.
CORRECTION:
“e*(A+B)+2*(C+D) == e*(A+C)+2*(B+D) == e*(A+B+C+D”
should read:
e*(A+B)+2*(C+D) == e*(A+C)+e*(B+D) == e*(A+B+C+D
OR RATHER:
e*(A+B)+e*(C+D) == e*(A+C)+e*(B+D) == e*(A+B+C+D)
!!!!
I’m tired today, sigh….
Hi, i am using Andrea default setting and its work perfectly well for me. I like to keep it simple stupid as i am a kind of a beginer.This show that Crescendo is 100% suitable for beginers. Let not forget that the man himself is a EA pimper, i therefor trust his settings. I mean let face it do you know an EA creator who does What Andrea does for his members? The answer is NO. Ive been looking for a very long time for someone like him with this kind of services. Trust me i know for a fact that most of the time most of the EA creators give you crap default settings to use. Or not even the chance to play or trick the EA itself. But the good thing with Crescendo is that anyone can play and trick it for is own convenience. Thanks for everything you are doing for us Andrea you are not like some of the selfish people out there who know things and keep them for themself.
May the univers bless you mate
cheers
Hi All
I’m trying to back test v1.3a, but I get an error right after loading the EA: dll calls are not allowed; ‘wininet.dll’-'InternetCloseHandle’
I have the authorization fields correctly set, but I can’t believe it’s trying to authorize.
Any ideas?
try setting “allow DLL” in the default general settings in MT4.
To do that go to the “Tools” menu > options > Expert Advisor tab.
Check “Allow DLL imports”.
Those are the settings used by MT4 when backtesting.
… et voila. Thank you!
