How can I plot/analyze MFE and MAE for MT4 Backtests?

Going through your code on github, and this is brilliant work, @emmzett. Much of what you have done here is exactly what the EA-building community needs. This kind of stuff is gold for people like me: new to FX and MT4, but with a background in ...

How can I plot/analyze MFE and MAE for MT4 Backtests?

Wow. These last two posts offer amazing insight, and your code is *exactly* what I was searching for. It's unfortunate that MT has these limitations, I had just assumed there was a way to chart outside the price chart. Looks like Excel it is! Thanks ...

How can I plot/analyze MFE and MAE for MT4 Backtests?

That thread you linked to is actually perfect. He includes code that I can build on to create a csv I can analyze in Excel. I'm still hoping I can find an indicator or tool that does the job, but if I don't, I will use this. Nice one, @LDFX! Thanks!

Need guidance to improve my Trend Riding EA (attached)

Yes! Exactly. You hit the nail on the head there. I can have 300 wins in a row, wiped out by one losing trade. I know I need to work on this, didn't know the trading term for it. Knowing that it's referred to as "Skew" will help me as I research ...

Is $10K -> $1M in 4 years impressive? ( My First EA )

Thanks for your response. This is very true. I have seen backtests that just overfit to data. Fortunately mine does not, it uses general rules based on commonly used indicator strategies. I realize that is not immediately clear in the topic of this ...
