SpacyTrader replied Oct 28, 2012Replace your EURUSD1.hst in your history folder with this one: url Then run the backtest. The times might be wrong for your platform but that's the best idea I can come up with. The data is from oanda. It might still have some gaps at the ...

SpacyTrader replied Oct 28, 2012The orders with 0.1 lot size are the pending orders that you don't need to do anything with. The EA just checks for their existence and acts accordingly. Not meant to be executed. The only ones that matter are the ones with 1 lot size- change that ...

SpacyTrader replied Oct 26, 2012Come on. All I said was that I think I fixed all the bugs you warned could deplete an account quickly and nowhere have I encouraged anybody to use my EA live. He said he was gonna do that with reduced lot size and then asked if he should change any ...

SpacyTrader replied Oct 26, 2012Your concern is well founded. It did have orders in rapid succession but as I said I fixed those. There was one other issue with opening orders against the MACD that were closed and reopened very quickly- fixed those too after backtests and now the ...

SpacyTrader replied Oct 26, 2012Yeah. Pretty much every other platform is better- multicharts, tradestation, ninjatrader. The only advantage of metatrader is that it's free.

SpacyTrader replied Oct 26, 2012The latest 0.4.1 already has 0 TP and SL so you don't need to make changes, maybe just the lot size from 1 to something else. And almost forgot- using 0 SL for 0.4 wont work since that's based on risk percentage and if there's no SL it cant ...

SpacyTrader replied Oct 26, 2012Yeah I can. But the limit would be based on local time. So a backtest would be worthless. The limit would work properly only in real time. And I assume people are from different time zones here. So a one size fits all limit wouldnt work for ...

SpacyTrader replied Oct 26, 2012The EA does that- it follows your rules to the letter: only takes the first signal. That's what I was explaining to xlitang: the pending orders are what insure only the first heiken ashi signal is taken. If I remove the pending orders which he ...

SpacyTrader replied Oct 26, 2012I just explained the need. The EA needs it to make sure a second HA signal is not taken. If I remove the pending orders the EA will no longer work according to the rules. It'd take trades on all HA changes of color.

SpacyTrader replied Oct 26, 2012I thought you said you used a hard SL of 20 pips. If not I'll redo the backtest without a SL. Attaching EA with SL set at 0 and relying only on MACD to close the position. I had to change it to use a fixed lot size on 1 lot. Can be changed in ...

SpacyTrader replied Oct 26, 2012I explained that already. The rules say to only take the first trade after xpma changes color. As soon as xpma changes color it opens a buystop or sellstop order. Then once HA changes color it checks for the stop order and if it exists opens a ...

SpacyTrader replied Oct 26, 2012You welcome.
I had the same problem with backtesting. No clue why. I ended up backtesting on a platform on which I saved the tick data fromthe begining of the year until now. Btw are you sure 20 pip SL is that appropriate ? In february theres a ...3% Risk Gives You Bliss System

SpacyTrader replied Oct 26, 2012Cubbybgood image Did not specify as entry condition that MACD be aligned too which leads to lots of orders being opened and closed immediately by the MACD exit condition. Update attached that ensured MACD points up for a buy and down for a sell. ...

SpacyTrader replied Oct 26, 2012That's it. On instaforex it would open a position too big, and previous versions opened more than one order at once. If that was your problem you used an old version.

SpacyTrader replied Oct 26, 2012Great. Btw- I see you list as your broker instaforex- they use mini lots I believe. You should change the risk settings from 3 to 0.3 for both the buy and sell orders. I tested it on instaforex too as it happens and it opens a position 10 times the ...

SpacyTrader replied Oct 26, 2012Have you tried the last version ? 0.3 ? I know those other ones open too many orders at once. 0.3 I tested it myself. It's possible it opened a position too big if the demo account is mini or something. It's configured for 3% risk on a standard ...
