I've never thought of re-using magic numbers for different pairs or different EAs. I've only done that once or twice by mistake. Sounds like a bad idea in general, unless you're trying some sort of interesting basket effect. I don't think Blessing ...

I forward tested a setup on gbpjpy for a month or so last year. Wasn't careful enough when I started the live instance around the beginning of this month. The first basket went into deep drawdown, unlike the demo that's still running a nice profit. ...

It should. Assuming you have a decent broker, with good demo data flow. Timing can make a big difference with Blessing sometimes. Blessing works by matching a repeating cycle in the data. It's not always smart enough to find the start of a new ...

How do you intend to leverage multi-pair operation? What mechanisms do you expect to build that will make Blessing more profitable than her single-pair incarnation?

I'm not offended. Just hoping to keep confusion down a bit. I look back and forth between the two groups and sometimes lose track of where I am. :-)

Yes, Blessing is more than a bit messy inside. It needs a rewrite. I and others have mostly just been hacking on it and cringing from time to time. Sorry about that. Some day, with more free time, it may get fixed.

Many different ways to go with pair selection and orientation. Correlated pairs will show you one set of behaviors and non-correlated pairs a whole different set. Non-correlated pairs might be more profitable and simpler, unless you've got a ...

Multi-pair systems can also be used to feed the flat-weekend frenzy. Profit may take a hit, but with a reasonable target the losers should be overshadowed by the winners. Usually holding over the weekend only if the target isn't hit.

No MarketInfo for AUDCAD. You may need to Refresh some of your charts, and maybe scroll back a ways to fill them with data.

Simplicity is good. File name could be eurusd-5min. The prefix could be the directory name. Even the pair name and timeframe could be contained within the file. I've been tempted to build these into Blessing's settings just to keep everything ...

Blessing has a lot of testing and history behind it. This multi-pair version: not so much. Especially since it departs from many of the primary techniques used to make the original version profitable. The general idea seemed like a good one. But ...

I've tested quite a few multi-pair EAs. Many start out with very impressive results and then degrade into large draw downs and slow trading after a while or other problems. Here's an example: BGNBGN832CL832CL Symbol Trdes Win% Profit P/day ProfFac ...

I've read many of the books. Useful and helpful, for writing EAs. All the important (and high-falutin) issues regarding optimization of new EAs. Blessing is not new. It's already written. It works fairly well, better than any others I've tested or ...
