Hi
Why order is always opened at 4 AM as spread is high (50 pips) ? Can’t we wait market opening to transact ?

@darbes because that’s the time it would work. You could however create a condition that an entry is triggered (and store the open price for later use) and act when the spread is low.
Hi guys,
great work this strategy. Pls can yue tell me which is the latest version for the DJ?
thx

Good Morning
Another version of the timehunter strategy Dow. Entry time 1 p.m. (german time). SL 310. Pipsize 1. Backtestet the last 4 years.

Nice job creating a new version! If you want you can post itf so I can see what you have done.
I haven’t look barhunter/timehunter while. I’ve loaded up barhunter and was surprised by the results.
ps. timehunter is nice, but the optimisation as I remember of time (minutes ) wasn’t done right.
Of course. Attached pls find the itf…

Thanks! It seemed hour 12 works indeed oke but stoploss is increased a bit. If I would work on this I probably would try to included the rsi indicator and remove the tds system to see what’s happening. Also interesting to spot again the use of a stoploss based on time of day. Will see if it makes a difference in the vectorial version.
I found two profitable entry times. One at 5.a.m and the 2nd one at 1.p.m. In combination the results are more profitable than as single strategy. In direct comparison, the good months compensate the bad months, when both strategys are running at the same time. ( 5 p.m. strategy with 260 SL)

Those results are not good enough. I’ve converted barhunter strategy quickly to the concept of vectorial but because of removing a lot of criteria the strategy didn’t perform anymore. I will leave it as it is atm.
Perhaps your strategy should be one bar less?
Yes I optimised the barnumber and it gave = 2 as highest profit. Which is logical as I am 1 hour less than you.
I just tried barnumber =3 and it gives < 2K profit. So the difference in our results is not due to timezone.
I even just re-imported a new v2p file and ONLY changed barnumber = 2 to see if I had changed anything else but it still gives me about half the trades you show over 100k bars.
Weird eh? Must be some simple reason??
@grahal
did you get to the bottom of this phenomenon? I have been messing about with the code and made a UK system but can’t for the life of me change it to an EU version (including updating computers time)
a few charts on v11
could you share this version paul? 🙂
