I ran this on a lark and was so wigged out I forgot to take notes before tring to duplicate but $1.3XX Million in 5 month back test?!!

I noticed you are trading without stops, you people are all pulling this crap. Just curious, are you woeking for a broker? that is not the wise way to trade an unregulated and I think totally manipluated market. You have been warned dude. This thing is as slow as death which I think it is anyway to our accounts if these markets implode. One word: dangerous/ Number One Rule Manage the Risk, Not the reward. Don't count the frankoins, watch the giant marshmallow man just on the horizon. He's coming to take your account away ten times more. Manage the risk. Use stops always/.

Too clear to be real! I mean... what indicators, MMs, methods etc does it use?

I am really surprised. The test graph should look be zigzag-shapped. But it isn't... Just - why?

I think I understand how it works. It relies entirely on foreknowledge of whether the next bar is going to open higher or lower - is that right? So the teaching is supposed to create arrays which can be consulted as to their similarity to values derived from the current bar and its 5 predecessors. The best fit will either be from the Buy map, the Sell map or the Hold map.

All trades are closed at the start of each bar. Decision as to trade is made by consulting the map. If the map suggests the next bar will open higher, then BUY; if lower - SELL; if not sufficiently clear, no trade.

The problem I have found is that the map performs perfectly on a period where it has already been taught; but apparently the teaching does not apply anywhere else! Run it using that map on another period of time, backtest or real time, and there is no semblance of order.

There is also the snag that teaching takes a very long time as arrays totalling 45000 * 7 = 315,000 values have to be stored. 45,000 bars have to be backtested, according to my understanding.

I'd be glad of comments, especially from the original owner/author.

At first sight, very impressive.

But you must know if you use 0 for stoploss, and a deposit large enough, almost ANY EA can do that, so be very careful !!!

lol I love the title of this one, if only it were that easy :P

1. The guy just posted my ATC2008 EA, replacing my copyrights with his links.

2. To teach the EA - comment the line LoadKohonenMap(); and run a backtest on period you want to teach on.

3. To run the EA - uncomment the line LoadKohonenMap(); and run backtests on other periods. It's useless to backtest it on the periods that it has been taught on (I thought that's quite obvious).

4. To run the EA on demo or real - uncomment the line LoadKohonenMap(); and copy the rl.txt file from /tester/files/ to /experts/files/.

could we have more details about the code please ?
