I haven't tried different spread settings in quite a while. I've had such good results with 30 (3.0) I haven't felt the need to mess with it. Having a fixed spread is definitely an MT4 shortcoming. MT5 appears to fix that and may very well be more ...

I'll take a look when I get a chance. Some display things got moved to the OncePerBar code to help speed things up. There are better ways of doing it. If you turn off EnableOncePerBar it will probably work better. Don't optimize that way though.

I think someone asked what happened to the magic number display some time back. If you're using a white chart background you may want to change displayColorFGnd from white to black. Sorry for the delay.

Easy optimization. One pass with genetic optimizer will make a profitable setup. Refine from there to make it even better. Three months history and four hour timeframe will get the job done quickly. Just plug in this set file which has appropriate ...

This one is on the four-hour timeframe, so it may work on other brokers. Still better to optimize for each broker. It's easy. file file One level, no grid.

Thanks paul.s for the heads up. I fixed the indicator problem and forgot to post it. :-( This will need to be fixed in the MT5 version too. Wouldn't hold up the conversion for that, easy to fix. Guess I got greedy for speed and limited some of the ...

That's odd. Try different pair, timeframe and history points and see if it improves.

Timeframe settings appear to be the main problem. There are substantial differences between MT4 and MT5 timeframe settings. Not sure how this stuff is being handled, but it makes sense that all timeframe settings should be looked at. There are a ...

The 'Demo is over' alerts just came pouring out of my system from the first mt5 conversion attempt. That was not appreciated. What a mess. Had to remove every EA to shut it up. Disabling Algo Trading was not enough.

One data point: not being able to load indicators is often a direct result of having a bad timeframe setting. I'm pretty sure that's what's going on here and increasing the number of errors reported. Thanks for the report, Mike.

I got a "wrong timeframe request in Open Prices mode" while testing MACD_TF. So far that seems to be it. More testing ahead ... The display has issues, but I don't care much about that. Perhaps someone else can spell those out. Working well in ...

The easiest way to fix this is not to trade. There will be times you must wait. There will be times when you will lose. You can do everything right and still lose. I post set files as examples. I keep saying you need to do your own optimization. ...

If you look at my set files you'll see I've been setting PortionPC to 500 lately. That's both to peg what MaxDDPercent actually refers to and to keep things static so Blessing is more predictable. I extended PortionPC (in version .14 I think) to ...

Sure. Good for testing a new strategy to see how resilient it is. Not for tuning an existing EA to trade live. Primary testing has already been done with Blessing. You can rewrite it if you want and perhaps make it more adaptable, that would be ...
