Sorry, you've provided so little information I can't imagine what you're talking about. Not sure I have time to explore your issue, but if you describe it more thoroughly maybe someone here will be able to help. Try to use terms that directly apply ...

I optimized that one on FXChoice data. If you have a different broker you need to start optimization from scratch. I have three brokers. Using an optimization from one even as a starting point for another is almost always a bad idea. Takes way ...

I added EnableOncePerBar. It's purpose is to clean up the optimization process, remove the need for special data and speed up optimization. In my fairly extensive testing it works quite well. Turn it on for optimization and use Open prices only ...

You probably need to read the manual again. I'm guessing you want to adjust PortionPC. It controls the percentage of your account to trade, assuming you're using Money Management (UseMM.) If you wanted two Blessing instances to share your account ...

Results from an optimization I did yesterday for XAGUSD, H1 over the last two months of history. H1 worked better for me than M30 or H4. XAG also seemed to work better than XAU. Forward testing will show if it's usable. file I removed the ...

For the dozenth time: set files created on one broker are very unlikely to work on another. Forex is not the stock market. Each broker makes and controls their own data. They're all different. I have three different brokers and set files from one ...

Changing UseAnyEntry without testing again is a mistake. I prefer to leave it set to false and use the individual entry settings to optimize.

I disagree, Candyman. What I have learned is that you forward test all 28 pairs, then remove the unprofitable ones. And the ones you don't like, for whatever reason. I'm trading three different brokers and my current EA wants different pairs for ...

Some good traders and coders congregate there. Most likely due to the better signal to noise ratio. Something Hopwood's random bannings helps to foster. Unfortunately, he clearly chases away gifted talent all to often while calling posters ...

Hey Candman, thanks for the Banksta Busta ... I put it on test for you. Doesn't look like it's FIFO compatible. Any idea if the basic strategy is incompatible with FIFO or maybe just the position close code? Thanks!

Yes, I saw c1borg's AI thread. Thanks. Unfortunately, Steve Hopwood tends to chase away gifted contributors from his site on a regular basis. Most discussions there are heavily stifled, sadly. Steve is a prolific coder and a relatively astute ...

Or be smart and test it out for yourself. Even if just one of its parts or signals works for you it might be worth it. There are not enough really good indicators to skip testing some on a whim.

Money management is perhaps the first and most important thing to learn. Patience is the second. Good luck.

Thanks for your diligence, candyman. I'd like to suggest a meta-strategy that has probably bounced between your ears before ... First a question: How hard is it for an EA to trade live and collect the results without actually placing real trades, ...

Yep, that's just dumb. I test lots of EAs on lots of currencies and time frames. I have MT4 instances with dozens of EAs and set files running together. The Magic Numbers are all that keeps them separated. So among all the other problems I can't ...

Blessing's Magic Number generator is a handy feature. Leave EANumber set to 1 (less than 100 actually) and your EAs will almost never mess with each other's trades or trades of other EAs you have running. I never liked the 'almost' part of that. And ...

You need to set each EAs Magic Number to a unique number. Blessing respects Magic Numbers. Blessing calls it: EANumber. Blessing is supposed to have code to automatically select a unique Magic Number if you set EANumber to 1. I've never tested it. I ...

HGI is hardly a single indicator. It's an amalgamation of many indicators, collected together is a way meant to make it easier to understand for the trader. It wouldn't be free? What? That's silly. People come together to share ideas and sometimes ...

Interesting thread. Flitting from one flower to the next. Onlookers crying it's impossible. The market is driven by 75% automated trading and these guys think it's impossible. Saying it's impossible is just dumb. Counter productive. Computers ...

Reducing MaxDDPercent can help reduce your drawdowns, if you tune carefully. It will also tend to inhibit your maximum profit some. Blessing can get a little quirky the more you squeeze it. I wouldn't try too hard to go below 10% or 12% if you want ...
