The MT5 computing network gets real expensive real quick. A decent fast machine is a lot less expensive if you plan on doing much testing.

Custom build PC for MT5 strategy tester's optimization?

Any one or all of the other indicators can be used in that way. CCIEntry probably shouldn't be called an entry. That switch turns on a different trend indicator based on four different time frame CCI's. This is from the original .09 Blessing as most ...

The newer, more up to date versions do all the same things as the old moldy .09, only better. And they work on MT4 and MT5.

Various reasons for two simultaneous instances of Blessing with the same set files to produce different results. 1. You didn't start them at the exact same time, which can be hard to do. Try running Strategy Tester and moving the start point ahead a ...

About the herd or portfolio idea ... This is a no-brainer. Protection of a trader's account is paramount. Things like the 2% rule exist to keep you from losing too much on a bad day or week. If a bad trade loses you no more than 2% of your account ...

A faster way to test a strategy is to use Strategy Tester. :-) Start back a year or two, optimize over two months or so, then test over the following month. Take notes. Move forward a month and repeat. Do this for 12 or 24 months of history and you ...

Not great. This week was a turning point for the US and the world. Long term trends coming to an end, some reversing, some undecided. Take a look at some of your currency pairs on the W1 time frame. And then D1. Robotraders are largely based on past ...

That could work. I think running a herd of robots is the most important thing for maximum profitability. Optimizing often could be helpful for trading one or two currencies. When you have a group of five or ten then optimizing perfection becomes ...

I think the trick is automating optimization, which I've been considering for a while. MT seems to support that, though it's a bit of a job, most likely not written in MQL. Sliding new parameters into a running EA from another program should be the ...

Can anyone convert the Blessing 3 v3.9.6.09 into MT5?

Naming this odd EA 'Blessing' was certainly an unfortunate abuse of the name. You should be ashamed of yourself.

Others have contributed more to Blessing than I probably ever will. Helpful folks stop by and make changes. If I like them I add them to my version. If things don't test well I tend to leave them out. I have great respect for the original Blessing ...

I had several M15's in there in the beginning, but the M1's seemed to work better and make more sense. Optimized over 2 months history. Started with one pass targeting just BB to define the outer movements. Traded several like that. Seemed enough to ...

image The previous week was even better, but the first half of that month was not good. I put the wrong set file on and didn't do well at all. If it had been no-stops it would probably be okay. The stops made a mess of things I don't think I'll ...
