Range bars v Renko bars — Just throwing this out for discussion... Here's an image of the EURJPY action today on a chart using range bars. Notice that you see price retracements and movements that are not displayed by the Renko bar chart. Does ...

Renko and Ichimoku Cloud Cross

Placing trades — If I understand correctly, then, when price comes out of the cloud south and prints a renko bar, or north, you can place a sell or buy stop order in advance at your entry point (after the next bar has printed in the same ...

In that case, if the current price is beyond your intended entry price, i.e. you want to be in the market, then you could code to place a market order. Need to code for handling context busy msgs as well if the EA is placed on more than one chart ...

Hill Bill That's done. sntest6 had a couple of open trades, but you can do as you like now. I'll let the EAs continue to run in the background on the original d1 account, but won't publish.

Test results and next week — I'm out of town next week, leaving in the next 12 hours. If they let me back in, I'll be back online next weekend. I will leave all accounts running as is. Have a good week, people!

Hi Bill I've had those set files running since you assigned them to me on Sunday on separate accounts for both the 4hr and 1d. Only the name on the account for the d1 was incorrect. I've had six positive trades on the 4hr of around 300 on each. ...

Suggestion for exit, if possible — Hi Rick Just wondering if it's possible or practical to write out the exit criteria that was met when a trade is closed to the Journal if possible? The reason for asking is that we would know which criteria ...

I've sent you a PM to clarify the set up for my accounts. The EA and preset files were set up and assigned correctly, as requested. Perhaps an invalid comment for the name of the account? Let me know so we can get back on track.

Question on EA restart — Hi Rick I had to reboot my PC this morning. On a demo account I started a couple of weeks ago running beta10, all my charts displayed 'Wait loading' or whatever the message is after restart, but they didn't load. Odd. ...

Spread at IBFX — Just something to be even more aware of, and I'd be interested to hear Rick's comments on this one. I was trading GBP/JPY for 1.5 hours before 4:30am news today on the live platform - refer to calendar for specifics of ...

Trading room? — Being a tester, I really don't think a trading room is a good idea for a good while at least. If you've read the last few pages you'll see that there's some heavy testing and analysis going on and there are many flavours of ...

I agree with that. However, the CCI testing I've been doing has been consistently poor. Only the EURCHF on a 30 min chart, and 8 trades for $28, is not up to much. I will, but I'd prefer not to spend the time logging the stats. Personal observations ...

Back testing/Forward testing — Hi Simon Some good and thought provoking points there. Some early morning nonsense from me and apologies if I state the obvious... Isn't it difficult to find the best settings if the results of back testing are ...

Testing — Hi Jasius So far as I understand, and many have said likewise, MT4 back testing is pretty unreliable in terms of being able to predict the profitability and otherwise of an EA. Testing the logic, it may be ok. But do I trust back ...

Hey Matt. No problem, honestly. Now you've got me thinking if I might have created the new account but was a tad late with updating the publisher with the new account number. In which case, my apologies for creating the confusion. Oh heck... well ...

Hi Orion Yes I did. Anyway, all seems to be ok, I believe, so no need to respond.

sntest7 status — Hi Matt I'm slightly confused. My account was set up by Sunday open and the publisher is reporting correctly - $49,743 right now, so my set up balance was correct. Am I missing something? Maybe we should get testers to report ...

Testing status — Hi Matt First, Rick was flying back from Europe on Thursday afternoon. As a couple of people have suggested, it'll be worth reviewing our settings for the week and noting any positive or negative aspects. I think almost all ...

Some interesting suggestions there, Rick. I think I get what you mean. Let me go study those charts a bit later today and separately also apply the different value CCI idea. I'll get back to you on this.

Hi Rick Comprehensive reply. As usual. Great! I'll just throw this one out there to ask if anyone else has noticed or if you think it's worth the development time. QQE/CCI entry is often late. I'm toying on a seperate account with a QQE entry and ...
