I'm happy to try and help, I can code an EA up pretty quickly, but I am not going to do 2 things . . . I'm not going to spend 2 days trying to figure out what it is you want and I'm not going to code something that isn't what you want because I ...

I am a little confused, account equity takes into account open trades, you say that you want to "close all trades when my account equity is $5 more" but you seem to be suggesting you don't want to take into account the unrealised profits/losses. ...

Trend system EA needs back testing

I get the picture, but if you disconnect your platform from your Broker the Spread doesn't change. Do you understand ? You can also use tools to set the spread for your testing. So all my Strategy Test runs can be performed under the same conditions ...

Trend system EA needs back testing

Historical Intra-day Tick Data for Spot Forex
