Hi, I had a quick look at the backtest results and something look a bit strange for me. When the TP2 is hit the profit is set at 100 pips, but shouldn't it be 65 because you take half at +30 and half at +100 so it is +65 in average. Or did I ...

Simple Daily System

I am afraid that nobody can figure it out because I think that he made mistakes in his calculation: like he says that the price moves of 41 pips, we take the 25pips profit and open new orders and in his calculations he still counts the new orders in ...

True Hedge System

Wackena, this kind of problem could happen for many reasons: - quality of data - if you scalp for a few pips; as the tick movement is only estimated in a M1 candle even at 90% modelling quality (but it seems it's not the case of this EA) - related ...

Questionable Strategy Tester Results.

I think that there is anyway a lot to improve regarding the spread. consider these 2 variants. 1) what is the original solution: open 2 longs and 2 shorts. lets say that it went up 100 pips for 1 lot you close 2 longs and 1 short. result 100 pips. 4 ...

True Hedge System

I didn't spend time to look too much into details into the statement but I think that is the classical problem that we don't have tick data and even if you have 90% modelling quality, MT4 will "estimate" the ticks inside the M1 candle. And if you ...

MT4 EA - strategy tester - backtest results inaccuracies

I don't know what is meant exactly by "deduct" the spread and even if the spread is not deducted afterwards it is of course taken into account otherwise MT4 will be totallly useless. OK, back to basics. You buy at Ask and Sell at Bid (difference is ...

MT4 EA - strategy tester - backtest results inaccuracies

That can happen if the quotes you have loaded from the history are not the same than in live. It happened to me in such a way:in one account I run a test based on historical data. Then I changed the account an run another test, then it still uses ...

MT4 EA - strategy tester - backtest results inaccuracies

Yes you should know that 1 pip = 10$ only for 1 lot of pairs xxx/USD. All pips are not born equals There is no problem in asking the question, the forum is done for that but please don't claim loudly about "MT4 backtest inaccuracies" because ...

MT4 EA - strategy tester - backtest results inaccuracies

There could be a lot of reasons that are emotionals (proud, willingness to share, happiness to have discovered something...) But on a more rational side, I think that one purpose may be the improvement of one basic system and the possibility to use ...

What is ur motive sharing ur system?

Can someone do me a favour? (MT4 coding)

I do not think you will find anybody who will do it like that. The purpose of a community is to exchange: everybody needs to benefit from the common work. I see the benefit for you but what will be the benefit for the programmer: - can he improve ...

Can someone do me a favour? (MT4 coding)

It's a bit off-topic but I don't agree with you (on the "should be"). In my opinion the purpose of an indicator is mainly to display information in a new way . In this case the indicator he wants to use is a standard one (Stochastic) so there is ...

EA Programmer Help Please

It will be an EA not an indicator. and to get the sendmail function working you have to put the correct settings in your MT4. It is not very complicated but it is not something you will get done in 15 minutes. I think you will have to pay something ...

EA Programmer Help Please

I agree with that. Depfy, I think that one important thing is to separate the signal from the noise and if you look too close you will see only the noise. When somebody talks to you, do you try to listen every ms of the sound separately , no you ...

Why H4, not M1?

Yes exactly. That's why it is in my opinion not useful to try to fine tune your system very frequently.

Revolutionary ideas regarding the market and system optimization

Yes of course some people tried it as it is a common modelisation technic. I even remember having seen results in a book (but I don't remember which book... maybe from Perry Kaufman). I don't remember exactly the results but in my opinion it could ...

Revolutionary ideas regarding the market and system optimization

If your system is robust and if you just slightly change your settings, you should only get slightly different results I think. So is it really significant?

Revolutionary ideas regarding the market and system optimization

I have to say that I also disagree on this new analogy and also on the general idea that is behind it. First the analogy: I would say that weather change much more slowly compare to Forex (except maybe for some special events like hurricanes or ...

Revolutionary ideas regarding the market and system optimization

maybe it was ODL then

MT4 with Oanda API

My only comment is 1 pip spread + 0 commission - where do they get the money? (knowing that the real interbank spread could be more than 1...) OK, I guess most of you will say that they get the money of the 90% (or whatever %) of people loosing on ...
