There are plenty of coders up to the challenge. However, programmers like detailed requirements. Supply details and you will probably get some interest.

Yes. Although, I do not use the renko script or simulator you reference - I created my own. If you have the source code of the simulator, it should be relatively easy to alter it to use renko bars instead of time bars. Otherwise, you'd have to ...

Sarcastic...I don't know, but it sure is comical. Looks like a desperate attempt to discredit someone who showed he made a mistake. His responses to me used to be technical in nature. But I think he finally realizes that the point I have been making ...

In this case, I had just messed around with auto templates so it was fresh in my mind. Normally, I will follow these steps when trying to figure out how to do something in MQL: 1) Search my repository of code to see if I've done something similar 2) ...
LoadTemplate in MQL

I think it could be done by name but would be quite-a-bit more involved. Below is the easiest way to load a template programmatically I know of. int hWnd = WindowHandle( Symbol(), Period() ); PostMessageA( hWnd, WM_COMMAND, 34800, 0 ); Use 34800 to ...

You getting notes from hundreds of traders has nothing whatsoever to do with my argument. If that is the "one major problem with" my argument, then I feel pretty good about it. I know what "winners" are, but what are "loosers"? Regardless, I am ...

I am not disputing the fact that your NB 1.0 Trend system is not profitable. It very well may be. No one is disputing the fact that the TMA Centered and TMATrue are the same in real time (for the current bar). Everyone can clearly see this by ...

With a spread of 0.8 pips, EURUSD would have commissions of about another 0.8 pips - for an approximate total of 1.6 pips. The commission calculations differ depending on the pair traded and the current prices.

For the most part, any strategy that has a clear set of rules, and the rules can be quantified, can be automated (be it an EA in MT4 or some other automation technique). And the automated trader's results should match those of the manual trader. ...

Dreamliner did not adapt anything to changing conditions. After 2 days of visually backtesting the 30 pip version, he switched to the 50 pip version probably because it "looked" better. There was no adapting to changing conditions...this is simply a ...

I've tested a few combinations of TP/SL/Range Bar Size and I do not get the strategy to return positive pips for 2010. I've also tried a few filters: - no trades when spread > 3.0 (GBPUSD) - open long trades only when price above MA - used H1 ...

It depends on which strategy you are talking about. There are four now: Dreamliner, zamanib, crodzilla, and Chris_B. They all have different rules - some differences are subtle, some are rather significant. And it does not appear that crodzilla's ...

I don't know if you are "doing it wrong still" or not, but I can tell you that the strategy outlined in this thread does not have an edge. From post #4: I have done the backtests and can guarantee you will not "see profitable trades on nearly every ...
