We thank for your great work Darwin! The manual he is referring to is most likely the included PDF file, not the online help. In the PDF the link is missing. As for the "time outs", they only happen if I set the optimization days to high. If I just ...

Yes, he forgot the link in the manual. But it´s here: url

I confirm this "bug" too, the equity curve pictures are in the main (/bin) directory for me too. This might be the reason why it still hasn´t found one system for me.

Little update: I´ve downloaded the new version and am again getting (after allowing 365 to 4000 days for the initial backtest): MT4 IDLES, DAMN! cpuusage = 0; mem = 36352; caches = 0. Its ok when this happens from time to time. When it happens ...

Hi Darwin, you work very proficient! Great and thanks, I will look into the update Thanks for your tips, I get your points in theory about lower timeframes and that´s also what I always thought before finally going to the lower timeframes after ...

Seems like we are going down now. I´d guess once 1.08 is broken downwards it will go down heavily.

USD/CAD

That sounds very great, looking forward to the extended builder then As for the paper-trader, I think many people will like it, but for me it´s nothing, I have no discipline for manual trading, always f*cked it up, I am a 100% automated systems ...

Nothing to thank, I thank for the amazing work you´ve done and doing! First "simple building" is now running 24 hours, but hasn´t found any system, though I understand it´s going to be advanced to make it more flexible. Meanwhile I´ll simply let it ...

Good find, so for what do you use this algo, is it your own financial software or how do you know it´s better than CMA-ES for the task of optimizing financial systems? I´ve seen CMA-ES in action in AMI-Trader, but I never heard BSA is used in any ...

Sorry for the many posts, but I am getting heaps of errors in the log: HTML_REPORT DOES NOT EXIST! mt4_instance::backtest ERROR XYZ_DATFRA_4504777418606 could not execute mt4, err = 11; PARTLOG = HTML_REPORT DOES NOT EXIST! ERROR! ATTENTION! ...

What I´d also really like to see is that the EA builder can avoid the usage of indicators for exit. My best systems are the ones with a ATR based trailing start trigger that, once reached, begins to trail from there. So would it be possible to just ...

Btw, just to point this out to the users here: you can´t run more than 32 MT4 instances SYSTEM-WIDE (a stupid new "protection" Metaquotes added to all builds > 600), so take care when building the cluster to not use to many instances as they ...

Great work Darwin, that´s all I can say and I very much look forward to the new features, sounds VERY promising. As for optimization steps, I keep them as high as possible but as low as needed. Though the step size was rather a problem for old ...

I have been playing with it and see it works a bit different than I expected, e.g. for optimization MT4 is still used and hence the limits of input variables and genetic passes do still apply. However, I am letting the EA builder run currently and ...

Currently at the install, good documentation I have to say, although we clash with some of our perspectives (e.g. optimization on all data can´t be profitable while I found that this is the only way we have been constantly making money for the last ...

Holy crap Darwin, as a full time system developer / MAM manager, this is something I was always looking for with the ugly limitations MT4 brings. I am in for a heavy test-ride and will give all the feedback you are looking for Big thanks!

Most pairs actually do exactly that. Volatility has died out and is at historical lows for ALL pairs! That never happened before. See url Forex is dieing out it seems.

EUR/CHF

Thank you, that´s my perspective as well.

EURUSD

Thanks, but which conclusion do you draw from that?

EURUSD

The market is just weird and random and I think we can close all discussion threads as we anyway can´t figure out where it goes Let´s stop wasting bandwidth
