Hi, if I may: I guess you are talking about the BUOB. It almost ran into the breakout of the consolidation area below 1.05. Also it just came down from the upper TL and from a .5 fib (not sure if I draw it correctly though). Its not a BUOB on my ...

Hi Mike, yes I didnt see it that way (price came from 85 back to 86.1, almost to where it startet its last down move from at 86.23). Thanks for the advise. However as 86.1 < 86.23 I thought this would qualify as a swing high in an intact down trend, ...

-30 Pips so far and close to getting stopped out Any thoughts why I shouldn´t have taken this DBHLC ? Yes, actually it missed to be a DBHLC by one pip, does it matter ? It closed below the 85.65 nicely and the PPZ at 85.55 didnt look strong, so I ...

Hi Danny, Yes, I agree somehow. But I only put things on my chart from which I know they work for me or which I have seen them working by backtesting them visually. This applies for TL,fibs (only 50.0),Floor Pivots (daily,weekly,monthly), Low/High ...

I took this one, seems to be stuck though. Sorry for the mess on my chart. One of the bigger problems I face is keeping my chart as clean as possible without skipping to much important information.

I´ve been playing around with M15 and do definitely want to stay out with such a low TF while relevant news (those with "red impact" here on the FF news page) comes out otherwise I am going to be chopped out of my trade for sure. I even stay out on ...

Persistent trade history ? — Any chance to the save the trade history and continue where you left it in the previous simulation session ? At the moment I have to write down all the trades manually so they are not lost when closing MT4.

Hi, IMHO the indicator has a bug. It´s not showing negative pinbars correctly. Line 254 and 272 says "Low[bar_num]<Low[bar_num+1])" This should be "Low[bar_num]>Low[bar_num+1])" Cheers

Pin bar indicator?

I am not sure I understood you correctly. Why should it not be possible to use history data in the strategy tester ? With "walk forward" I mean to simulate the placement of trades (or staying aside) according to the trading style calculated by your ...

Hi RR, thanks for this gem. Two questions / comments: 1. You said your EA does not have to be backtestable with the Strategy Tester because it has its own backtesting engine built in. I agree, but there is one nice feature missing in your ...

Great help ! — Indeed I had a tester.tpl in place, when I removed it, the ghosts were gone I didnt even know that a template with the name of the EA loads automatically. I only was aware of the tester.tpl which applies for all EAs. ...

Hi Gansta or anybody using small SL, By doing some EA backtesting I tried to find out how you guys can have good results which such a small SL (15) . The following two pics show the backtest of GU for 2009 with SL 15, TP 75, BE 30, 12pm-2pm GMT, 20 ...

I noticed that too. I guess this is because gOrderNY and gOrderLD are set to 0 in CloseOrders() regardless whether the order was closed or not. Probably they should be set to 0 only if the order was closed. I also got an "Order Select Error" on ...
