Yes, now that we can backtest and try mart etc, it would be nice to have the settings inputs directly in the EA. I will add them. A "notradeafter" input would also be useful, indeed. Good ideas! will do... Sq

yes you can backtest in non-visual -- i'm doing it about 100 times per day... just load the indi on a chart before running the backtest, so it saves the settings that the EA will import. You need to load the indi only once per pair, not more, then ...

ABSOLUTELY !!! I was rereading my post when i figured out that we could just sum-up our past losses, and set the new lot size to recoup that, plus the current TP... ... Am i repeating what you just wrote ??? That is much simpler than ...

Martingale morning math... — I've been thinking about the martingale sequence settings... What we observe with Mer's sequence (which i call "aggressive_fibbonacci"), is that it gives big boost when a win happens after a series of losses, BUT ...

no mart code yet... — BTW, i will not release the EA with Mart code yet, it still has some issues... It works "almost" fine... except when an order is rejected, it makes it move to the next mart factor... again and again... until the fateful ...

Of course, having said that, you can still come up with a "mild" martingale sequence. It will make you think like it cannot fail after all: a profitable trade WILL come after a series of losses. The only question is: how many consecutive losses can ...

Coding the martingale is (for me...), seing the account grow on backtesting is and watching it being wiped out in just one trade of 89 lots is absolutely But only on Demo account... At least being able to ...

Ok guys... after a bit of debugging the mart code, here is what i get... I tested just GU from 20-26 may, with my own box settings , starting with 0.02 lots only, $10.000 account; with and without martingale (default mart factors), allowing 15 ...

Pat, the set file has the martingale sequence set to martingale_sequence=1,1,2,5,13,34,89,233,610,1597,4181 you have doubled the first "1", so the sequence will not be 1,2,... but 1,1,2,... That's not what we want. To enable the mart code, just ...

I run backtesting over just last week... and the mart factor rocketted up to 4181... and the tester kept yelling "pending order deleted (not enough money)" Sure it's buggy !!!! As i said: this is EXPERIMENTAL CODE... Ok, we'll ...

Pat1, do you have any reason for having enforced OCO when using Martingale ? If price goes back into the middle area, having OCO ON or OFF won't matter: the buystop/sellstop orders will be placed anyway. Why do we need OCO ? Sq

A Simple London Breakout

actually, as long as you have dropped an indi on a chart with the same pair and objPrefix as the EA settings you are going to backtest, you don't even need to pause the backtest and load the indi again. Do it once and forget it. The globalVars are ...

A Simple London Breakout

This is exactly why the Indicator is needed: the EA does NOT use any hard-coded factors, as opposed to your suggested code above. It will set the correct factors into the GlobalVariables, so the EA can import them and use the correct factors. The EA ...

A Simple London Breakout

Hi Icecube The EA requires the Indicator to have been loaded into the chart once, so that the settings are exported as system GlobalVariables (that you can watch and eventually change with the F3 key). The EA will import these settings by reading ...
