When you have a situation of an EA opening a trade every time an indicator gives such an indication, from an automation point of view each trade has to be managed just like yourself opening up simultaneous trades. At what point in your scenario, do ...

Alex I realise you have your own particular trading ideas but this thread is not about any particular trading system. It is a set of tools to use with your trading to refine your own ideas and will never be specific. Your set file is an example of ...

That is a very significant question and exposes the whole Martingdale system. Alex was the only person to take this head on and I emplore anybody to refute what he is saying. I haven't always agreed with him relating with his idealogy but he has ...

Thank you for your comment!

If back testing produces favourable results using the "open price model", you should endeavour to confirm the results using the most accurate data available - "tick data" model.

New update at Post #1. Fix of error preventing combination of strategies and filters.

That data is through Tickstory.

I think we were both posting at the same time. If you look at Post #614 you can see that I have edited the text. The point is as you infer, tick data back testing is more accurate. It's just that optimization using tick data is almost impossible ...

That is exactly the .set which demonstrates what we have all been looking for. I ran this .set through actual tick data as you can see with the 99.9% accuracy in the report. I have enclosed Alex's set file here. Rename to .set. I'm going to start a ...

Alex, it wasn't a case if ignoring your post. The considerations went far beyond the scope of the EA in that you talk about opening additional orders and the EA was never designed to handle more than 1 trade at a time. The consideration regarding ...

My EA Gift to Traders

I suspect the reason that your results are completely different is because you are using the very tick mode. The EA is explicitly designed to use the model - "Open prices only (fastest method to analyse the bar just completed, use only for EA's that ...

If you have been frustrated by the inability to get successful back tests by combining strategies and filters, I have just discovered a major bug in the EA. Before I release it, I would appreciate a few testers to give me some feedback. As an ...

You need to change the MaxSpread setting.

I have completely rewritten the CandleStick Pattern Recognition formulas and added extra patterns. The patterns recognized are Bullish Engulfing Bullish Piercing Line Bullish Kicker Bullish Harami Bullish Abandoned Baby Bullish Morning Star Doji ...

Did you disable all the other patterns in CalcCandleSticks subroutine? bold and underlined to illustrate Like this void CalcCandleSticks(int ShiftVal) { GetLastClose(); CurrPrice = iOpen(Symbol(),ReqTimeFrame,0); CandleSticksBuySignal = 0; ...

I would need to see the full code block including how you handled the variable ShiftV which is integral to the code. below is an example. You would also need to disable all the other patterns in the CalcCandleSticks subroutine. bool ...

My EA Gift to Traders

If you're referring to the number of trades, I had previously commented out a number of the patterns because I am concerned about the maths for the patterns (remember it is borrowed code). I have made repeated requests for candle stick definitions ...

You haven't set the end hours to 23. You set the UseTimeAndDay to 23. That should be 1. Post #593 refers.

My EA Gift to Traders

The update at Post #1 will have the info box updated as well to include the Day of Week settings

My EA Gift to Traders

That's because you have UseTimeAndDay still set at zero. (Also you need to do a refresh, because old caption still displayed) Another problem, set end hours to 23 as per Post #586.
