Hi guys, I´m building one EA based on MA crosses. This EA uses trailing stops. I want to find out values that would cause profit in majority of cases. I was wondering if we can calculate somehow 'max achievable profit' If I open a trade just after 2 MA crosses, what is the max profit I can reach. I would need these values, their average value, modus and median. It can be displayed in chart or in xls file.
Any ideas? thanks

Nope have formula, you just need create your own formula.
My formula at this moment :
Open 3 Trade upon Cross 2MA.
Get the Highest ATR (7period) of last 21 Bars.
If AccProfit >10, trigger the following Trailing Stop :
1 Order) Trailing Stop1 = ATR x1.0 + TrailingStep : 0
2 Order) Trailing Stop1 = ATR x1.7 + TrailingStep : 10 pips
3 Order) Trailing Stop1 = ATR x2.3 + TrailingStep : ATR
Auto Refill back TrailingStop if the TrailingStep counter is Over.

Okay, see my picture. I added ATR (7) to the chart. Its high of last 21 bars = 0.0021
When 2 MA crosses, I open 3 trades:
1st trade) trailing stop1 = 0.0021 x 1.0 + 0 = 0.0021
2nd trade) trailing stop2 = 0.0021x1.7 + 10 = 10,00357
3rd trade) trailing stop3= 0.0021x2.3 + 0.0021 = = 0.00693
?
or you mean
1st trade 21+0 = 21 pips
2nd trade 35,7 + 10= 45,7 pips
3rd trade 48,3 + 21 = 69,3 pips
?

TrailingStep actually mean StepDown.
1st trade 21+0 = 21 pips ( TS =21) (TStep =0)
2nd trade ( TS =36) (TStep =10)
3rd trade (TS=48) (TStep =21)
Example StepDown 10pips:
Current Bar TS=36, next Bar : TS=26, next Bar : TS=6, next Bar : TS =-4.
if (TS<0 && AccProfit()>0) { TS= Original TS 36 pips again.}
Then TrailingStep repeat again.
You can adjust also evey 1 Bars/ n Bars to do the StepDown process.

Okay. I did it this way:
Open 3 trades based on MA cross
1st: start trailing after 1xATR
2nd: start trailing after 2.5 ATR
3rd: when 2nd trade is closed, run trailing of 0.5ATR
and this is the result

Nice, to test what is the Risk Reward upon this Trend Strategy.
You need back test year by year. As trend strategy may fail if the whole year is in range and consolidation moment.
Start 2000 till 2014.
So far what time frame u use and how many year tested?
