Thanks for writing that up. Very interesting. Wonderful to see the whole system explained.

I ran it on a Coinxx demo, a broker I'm checking out. My main broker tester is busy at the moment. It crashed and burned pretty quickly. The charts and images don't show up on your pdf file. Those would be more helpful than trying to run it on other ...

I'm often surprised how many folks don't seem to be aware that different brokers have very different data. This of course negates the usefulness of posted set files and fancy, expensive third-party data. Most people fail at trading Forex, even with ...

No, by default they are exactly the same. I'm not using the new SetLots feature in those setups I posted. I'm using v24 because it displays more information on the screen. This does not effect trading. Set files should function exactly the same on ...

I'll try to post the newer version soon. Still compatible with v23, etc.

Sorry, I didn't mean to be impolite. But your questions suggest you do not know about or know how to use optimization. There are lots of good tutorials out there covering Strategy Tester and optimization. Much more appropriate and effective for ...

Please, this forum is not just for you. There are better places to learn how to use Metatrader and other tools. Flooding the list with amateurish questions not directly related to Blessing is making a mess of the list.

Here's very short term results of some recent demo testing. Most of these have been back-tested over four to six weeks of recent history. The best performer didn't look all that great in the Strategy Test report. :-) These are all meant to be run ...

You are WAY too optimistic. Be very pleased your account hasn't shrunk. Because it will, no doubt. Unsettled times and brand new wars cause unsettled markets. All kinds of little disturbances cause unsettled markets. Get used to it. Forex will not ...

If you have UseMinMarginPercent set to true then Blessing won't place any more trades if the result would push Margin Level Percent below the value you have set in MinMarginPercent. It does not, however, cancel existing limit or stop orders. I'll ...

Version 23 is the good one. Should work on MT4 also, which is pretty cool. I'm using 24, but haven't posted it yet. Mostly just a bit of minor cleanup. I'll try to post soon, probably version 25 by then ... When I find the time and motivation I'll ...

Sorry, I've been spending way too much time optimizing and ignoring the list for a bit ... I was kind of wondering about war and other world issues myself. But I've been having very good results with setups in the one minute and occasionally five ...

I think about this often. I keep threatening (in my thoughts) to do something about it. The current system seems much too simple minded and limiting. I like setups with seven levels, they seem to work quite well in many instances. You can choose ...

My favorite pairs change constantly. I keep trying different things and let Strategy Tester find the best. Running lots of different simultaneous instances is definitely the way to go. Four is probably a good working minimum. Setups wear out and ...

There is almost no 'normal' behavior for Blessing. Blessing is extremely configurable, you can make it do many different things and act in many different ways. Some minor changes can make big differences. With a good optimization set file you can ...
