Tribonacci_RF攻略#4: How to set initial parameters (reference bars / deviation pips / lot allocation)
This is a black cat.
In the previous article (Tribonacci_RF Strategy #3), we organized the most active trading times and currency pair selection by “Spread × Rangeiness × Sudden Change Risk.”
As a continuation, this time I will first summarize how to set up initial parameters that are hard to break.
In short, at first, rather than “going on the offense,”
・Don’t enter too often
・Don’t enter in odd places
・Make it easy to verify
…Prioritize these three points and build in the order of [base settings → fine-tuning] for the correct approach.
1) First decide the “reference bar count”
This EA draws lines by picking highs and lows from the most recent reference range.
In other words, the reference bar count is the setting for which wave you watch to form push-downs/retracements.
・Fewer reference bars: tends to pick smaller waves (more responsive)
・More reference bars: tends to pick larger waves (calmer, but longer wait)
For beginners, starting with 120 bars is easy to understand.
(It also aligns well with verification articles and explanations)
2) Next decide the “deviation pips (0%–50% distance)”
Deviation pips are, in a word, a “potential-for-movement filter.”
・Deviation pips too high: hard to enter (skips all calm market periods)
・Deviation pips too low: easy to enter (reacts to noise markets and becomes volatile)
What beginners should do first is,
not “not entering → price goes down” or “entering too much → price goes up,” but first
・Reference bars 120
・Deviation pips fixed at a “safe mid value”
and check compatibility of currency pairs and trading times.
(The “operating window” organized in #3 is effective here)
3) Lot distribution (varying by ratio) is OK to start with equal amounts
This EA has multiple ratio lines, so you can vary lots by ratio.
However, if you tweak this from the start, it’s easy to lose track of what is actually effective.
Starting with this is OK!!!
Ratio1–Ratio5: same lots (equal)
After you can see win/loss tendencies,
adjust “thicker on shallow pullbacks” or “thicker on deep pullbacks.”
4) Recommended order for initial settings (this alone keeps things stable)
To begin safely, decide in this order.
・Reference bar count (wave size)
・Deviation pips (potential-move filter)
・Lot (equal)
Last, MaxSpreadPips (spread avoidance)
Before trying to improve win rate by changing lots,
first stabilize with the environment (time periods, currencies, spreads).
5) Common failure patterns (common among beginners)
Entering too many reference bars and losing track of verification
Lowering deviation pips too much and picking up noise markets and getting volatile
Changing lot distribution from the start and not knowing what was beneficial
The goal is to have a “verifiable” setting rather than a “winning setting.”
Summary
Reference bar count = which waves you watch (for beginners, 120 is easy to use)
Deviation pips = movement-filter to test compatibility before going on offense
Lot distribution = start with equal amounts (adjust after you see trends)
The initial aim is to create a verifiable setup rather than optimizing for win rate

Note:In the current version, values are fixed, but to enhance verifiability I am submitting Version 1.6 which allows adjusting reference bars and deviation pips. It is planned to reflect after approval.
Next time (Tribonacci_RF Strategy #5)
Next time, we’ll cover “how to fine-tune parameters.”
From the three states of “not entering / entering too much / volatile,” we’ll outline what to adjust.
