As I was testing dozens of EAs I pulled off a forum, the Budak Ubat v. 1.51 EA definitely garnered my focus. Just a quick suggestion to those fellow traders that are skeptical; monitor the H4 TF in a separate chart of the same pair with a good trend indicator. When the H4 trend is up, change the EA Position Direction to "Long only" and "Short only" when the H4 trend is down. My testing shows M1/M5/M15/M30 TF are best and only trade the top five volatile pairs of the typical 28 pairs. So far in testing (99% quality) on a MT4 Live server, the Win % is 65.5% and the Absolute DD is 44% of Net Profit. Average weekly Profit per pair, four TF, at .1 Lot is $2,674 USD. As we all know, testing may be nice, but Live results is what counts, which will probably be less.
Unfortunately, I can't find the source code for this Budak EA. so I can't add a "trend filter". So, you have to check the H4 chart every four hours or get alerts and manually change the EA Position Direction and close trades that are opposite to the trend. It is shocking to see the huge increase in profitability when you are not using the default "Long and Short" Position Direction. Trade with the H4 trend.
My current Budak settings are:
TP: 50 (extensive testing shows TP: 100 is substantially better with the most volatile pairs – still working on this idea)
Layer Multiplier: x1 (for now- may venture into increasing multiples)
Auto Compound: False
Max Trades: 99999999
Time Frames: M1/M5/M15/M30
Pairs tested with TP: 40 for six weeks: GBPAUD, GBPCAD, GBPCHF, GBPJPY, GBPNZD
Changing “Position Direction” to correspond with the H4 Trend indicator is the “secret” to the best results.
Started trading Live shortly after market open-current week. Up 39.7% in equity about twenty hours into LIVE trading. Live max Account Equity Drawdown 4.8% about two hours after market open. The Equity Curve has been trending up since then.
I will report back to this forum in a few weeks with Live results.
