#35 EA Third Stage "Trend Takeover Method" Development Hurdles and the Truth of Candlesticks

Hello everyone, it's been a while.

Because I was deeply immersed in EA development, it has been as long as three weeks since the last article.

Currently, I am devoting all my efforts to create the third installment of the EA, the "Trend Taking Method EA."

Recently, after finishing the coding, I ran it on data from the last two months and achieved a wonderful result of "all wins."

However, I cannot rejoice unreservedly here.

To confirm whether it can endure harsh market conditions, I extended the test period to three years and ran it, and the result was a "total defeat."

Since then, I have repeated countless iterations of logic changes and testing.

Now, I have finally managed to bring the profit factor (PF) above 1, but it is still far from a level that satisfies me.

Again this time, I am facing the difficulty of giving an "eye of a human" to a soulless program, and I am struggling.

In trading,I do not use indicators or anything like that at all.

Because they are essentially just displays of "past average values" in various ways on the screen.

No matter how you manipulate the past, you cannot see the real-time movement of the current candle at this moment.

I have developed the "Shaving Beard Method EA" and the "Crosshair Method EA," and honestly, I thought the current "Trend Taking Method EA" would be the easiest to make.

But that was a big mistake.

Because it is the simplest logic, it is the most difficult to translate into programming.

Being a method that triggers at the peak of a cycle, catching the exact moment a trend occurs with programming is more challenging than I ever imagined.

I tried various approaches, such as using the 1-minute close price as tick data in the manner of the "Shaving Beard Method EA," or judging only with the base timeframe (daily or 4-hour) like the "Crosshair Method EA."

However, I have not yet reached a level that guarantees the absolute safety that underpins my trading philosophy.

In previous development, I adjusted the results by deliberately lowering functionality when wins became too excessive to prevent being hunted by brokers, but for now I have not even reached that level yet.

Now, allow me to share a bit about my perspective on the market.

When an EA does not function well,some people call irregular market movements "noise" or "deception," but I never use those words, and I do not acknowledge their existence at all.

They are merely names for excuses that traders attach to movements that deviate from their own hopes or predictions.

Seeing those who dismiss the market's harsh movements as an unavoidable disaster because they couldn't capture them due to lack of skill genuinely irritates me.

Market movements are an objective fact, and how you define and follow them is everything.

Face the market's truths without making excuses.

Therefore, I will not give up until I translate this simple method into perfect code.

Although I am still in the throes of birth pains, this time I would like to report the current progress.

When it is completed, I will share more details here, so please wait a little longer.

It’s a wrap! O(≧∇≦)O … that is the plan (laugh)
