Flex EA - TrendSurfer - REAL in Trading Systems Apr 14, 2016 at 06:28

Here is my set file, I'm running on live account with small balance of $380 currently. Two days running with 1% daily return so far. It's pretty conservative settings for now, and will slowly up the lots as the account grows to try keeping the 1% daily compounding interest, which if it holds, will be fantastic growth to me.

Hi jasteo85, everything you need for configuration is on the EA website. It tells you about the different canned strategies that you can select with a click of a button. You can also read up about each setting and how it works and what it does. You can set up everything to your own strategy, or just pick one from the drop down on this EA configuration to choose a strategy that the developer has already tested on his live account (you can see all of these here on myfxbook. Hope this helps!

The EA has a number of strategies that are pre-designed. But it is very flexible for you to make your own strategies. You can set your own risk, what stop loss and take profit you want, whether you want a trailing stop and what numbers you want for the trailing stop. You can also choose if you want the program to use a percentage of either your account balance or your equity as a stop loss and take profit as well. I picked up the EA while it was on sale for $250. It's make its money back so far and so I'm happy with it. The rest is just bonus. The strategy that they are still fi...

How in the world did you do this? Arbitrage trades?

[email protected] is the one Steve has been replying to me at. I imagine he gets lots of e-mail messages. Try something catchy in the subject line to get his attention (nothing crazy heh, just something that tells him what you need so he can know it's not just a spam mail or general gripe). He's replied to both of my e-mails (at 3 days turnaround each). If it's just him and not a company, he's gotta pick your e-mail out of a lot of them.If it was me and only me and I made the EA, and was buried under hundreds of e-mails with general questions, I probably would focus o...

Hi, I'm currently doing a modified X3 Retrace. Here is my settings:Paste this to your Set folder and will need to put your username in the username spot if you want to activate this strategy. I'm still playing around with this, so can't guarantee profit yet.I am trying to set up X3 with a floating TP (for all charts) at 2%. I also set floating SL at 2%. The idea is that if the EA is at least 75% accurate on its trade selections I will be statistically ahead. I keep my risk at 2% of equity so don't risk blowing the account on huge drawdown. Am hoping this works. Will post...

This is all purely for the interests of those who like to test out EA programs and would like to share (no for profit postings please!)Also, any who wish to share trading ideas and strategies feel free to post away. I do a lot of manual trading as well on my real account. I like to use the engulfing candle, pin bar, and fakey pin bar signals at key support and resistance by chart structure, and/or range of Bollinger bands. I find these to be pretty accurate technical trade signals. I like to also keep in eye open for high impact fundamental signals to give me an idea when the market is ant...

This one is listed with the same name but has much better performance stats. https://www.myfxbook.com/members/flexea/flex-ea-trendsurfer-real/1561706I sent a message to the support desk. Hope they will share their settings for that account.

Whatever setting you have it seems to be doing extraordinarily good! Great job!I think we'd all like to know your settings for the Trend Surfer mode. Please share 😄

This was also one of the reasons I've been staying away from Trend Surfer Strategy for the moment. It takes many trades along a trend (in the case of this account there are 7 open trades on NZD/CAD!). This problem I see right now is that it took multiple trades IAW the Trail Trigger function, but the Trailing Mode, which is supposed to lock in trades with a moving trailing stop is not functioning currently. Steve at Forex Flex Support is working on the issue at this time, and has replied back to me yesterday.Once this is fixed, this strategy can be a big money maker for big moves in the...

Oh yeah, I went back and looked and this account is currently carrying 14 negative trades. Of course these are not realized losses as yet and may pull back before being stopped out. This would be something to consider in your setting for loss mitigation by limiting the number of open trades the program has at any given time. It's a powerful feature to help in your risk management.
