I just ran across a complaint about a 'pro' version of Blessing placing bad orders. This was causing accounts to be frozen due to repeated attempts with 'Not enough margin'. I fixed that bug a few versions ago here. It reports the problem in the ...

From what I see online lots of people are misusing Blessing. It's a great tool. But you don't just trade one copy with your whole account. That's just asking for trouble. Unless you're not really a serious trader. Then throw some money at it and ...

Thanks for the question. As I've suggested in the past, I think using set files from others is a bad idea. At least with Blessing, and most of the other EAs I've looked at. It's possible that a smarter EA exists that only uses the set files ...

I assume the Yen robbed this guy at gunpoint. Even bad money management would not allow this sort of outcome. That's more like NO money management. Perhaps he was put here as a warning to others ...

Yes. Try everything. The future is not written.

Still cleaning this up. If anyone wants to test and report that would be appreciated. You should be able to test using the much faster Open Prices Only data model. Good to test the results on Every Tick data when you're done. I've seen a couple ...

I've been testing and coding for months. Rebuilding Blessing and learning what it can do more recently. I just put that CADJPY setup on Demo for testing yesterday. I've got a few lesser setups on live and a couple are doing well. Too soon to tell. I ...

Do you want a long term 30% per year return or 50% to 100% per month with an occasional need to re-optimize? If you start with $100 in January and increase 100% per month how much do you have by December? ($204,800) How does that compare to $130? ...

It's kind of what I've been saying. It's why back-testing for years is so wrong. Blessing does it, which is amazing. But it's still wrong.

Aloha, Still trying to find the bug in my Blessing update. To save a set file you click the Save button on the Expert Properties, Inputs page. There's quite a bit of information on how to use MT4 in the online manuals and elsewhere. This is not the ...

Chasing a new bug. It may just be bad data. Hope to post it shortly. I expect Open Prices Only and Every Tick data to produce very similar results. Found one instance where they don't.

Not sure what setting you're referring to, but a bit of back-testing will probably find your answer for you. Everyone is different. Different funding, different expectations, different comfort level. Focusing on controlling your risk is always a ...

Depends on the size of your account. Blessing works better on a larger account. So let it continue to grow if you can afford to. Consider diversifying. One pair is not enough. As your account grows try adding additional pairs and setting PortionPC ...

Every broker's data is different. That's why using a posted set file isn't a good idea. You need to optimize against your broker's data. I have three brokers and a set file from one almost never works on the others. And then test on Demo! That's the ...

I've tried opening other broker's MT4 in demo. Most won't let me. I'm in the US. We have rotten Forex rules that your brokers don't want to deal with and I can't blame them. It's worth it to learn how to optimize for yourself. :-)

Nice smooth curve. Pretty low per-year profit though.

The primary purpose for posting this new version of Blessing is so more people can back test. It's not hard. Lots of instructional videos on Youtube. Using set files from others is not a good idea. Too many differences between brokers. And the ...
