I recheck real ticks every so often. Lately it's been close enough. I'm mostly going from 1M OHLC to live lately. I had noticed the behavior you mentioned, though I hadn't associated it with OPB. Thanks for checking. I was kind of thinking it was ...

It's not magic. Your set file can create all kinds of different behavior. Blessing generally trades both ways when you tell it to. Mine does all day long, times a hundred. Your setup is creating your behavior. If you think there's a bug somewhere ...

MT5 Equity graph, losses-wins histogram and averages?

Why must there be an expiration date? Why is there not an MT5 version? Why is there not source code?

I recently played with hedging again. I can see that it needs something. But I'm not convinced that it's worth the trouble. Perhaps there's an effective way to use hedging with Blessing, I just haven't managed to find it yet. And I suspect it's ...

BEPlusPips seems to work for me, it's definitely tunable, but I haven't looked at it that closely. Let us know if you have more information to report.

It's nice to see someone trying things. Nothing about the market is a sure thing. You're going to lose from time to time. Occasionally you'll lose frequently. The world is very unsettled with war, recession, pandemics, absurd-politics, etc. Finding ...

Sometimes it helps to read the manual. :-) Apparently MT5's Open Prices Only isn't broken. It's just oddly different from MT4. With MT5 you generally need to stay within the 1-minute timeframe! Or at least have the EA use only timeframes that are ...

Although one genetic optimization pass over all parameters is often a reasonable way to start, it's not the only way. And it's not always the best way. Another way is to disable all entries but one and optimize each one separately until you find the ...

I optimize various ways. Sometimes I'll focus on Bollinger Bands and then optimize the other entries afterwards. Depends on my mood and perhaps on previous performance with the pair in question. Main difference is I start with UseEarlyExit set to ...

I think using more than six months of history is a waste of time. Especially with the world in the state it's been in lately with wars and pandemics screwing everything up. I often optimize over two or three months and then add a month or two ...

I added the CUSTOM TEST SETTINGS section to try some things out. Much depends on the way you like to optimize as well as the EA you're trying to optimize. What I found was that in the general case that Blessing doesn't need this stuff. It becomes ...

Blessing usually trades in baskets of multiple trades. That is a way of adding to profitable trades as you suggest. It does not do the absurd martingale thing, which increases trade size upon each successive LOSS. Blessing is very configurable, but ...

There are all kinds of reasons for differences in data streams. Some have to do with funky brokers, some with the MT5 software (I think) and a number of other factors. Open Prices Only is great on MT4. On MT5 its flakey. It often doesn't work well ...

Tuning up an existing set file is a good way to get started with optimizing. I suggest using one months history to speed things up, preferably the most recent month. You can optimize the various indicators one at a time and see how that goes. The ...
