VBro, My apologies if I came off as rude. That second part was directed more toward those people who have been contacting me asking for the "best settings". One person had the gall to call me several times. Those bullet points I outlined are ...

The main reason why I do not post settings I use is because those settings were optimized with my trading style in mind. What works for me may not work for you. I will not risk another lawsuit from somebody who blew his account because they didn't ...

Mismatched chart errors happen when data isn't consistent. Example: on a 5M chart, I have the following: Open: 1.0000 Close: 1.1000 High: 1.2000 Low: 0.9000 Using 1M bars during that 5M interval, the first 1M bar actually opened at 1.0010, and the ...

Backtest "Mismatched charts errors..."

Currently, I'm trying to get a MySQL server set up in my dorm. I'm working with UITS (campus IT department) to approve this project. I considered multiple accounts. But there's a problem...how do I program the load-balancing? Go-Grid is my last ...

Tick Database Version 2

Working on it. The problem with running a daily cron job is the risk of skipping some data. I had set a weekly cron job to put the ticks in a csv file. It was supposed to run saturday at midnight (my time) but obviously won't run until I can find a ...

Tick Database Version 2

Ok, here's the situation... In the past 3 days, thanks to your contributions, the database collected nearly 3 million ticks. That averages to about 11 ticks per second, or 660 ticks a minute. The server the primary database was hosted on could not ...

I'm holding a video/audio conference to discuss this problem and what options you would rather see me take. You can join me here: url

Tick Database Version 2

Yep, happened this morning. My personal tick contributing server is contributing to a backup database, so no data is being lost. I'm trying to reach them now to resolve this. If there's anyone out there good with LAMP, I'd love it if they could lend ...

That pair wasn't set up in the database, so yes your EA will only rely on bar data.

It works on demo, that's not really a problem, and yes, there is a delimiter between demo and live ticks, so they can be filtered out. I have a slightly larger problem. The response was far bigger than I had expected, and my webhost shut the website ...

In order to get the EA running and in a trade-ready state you simply change the lot size to a non-zero number. All the other inputs are explained rather clearly if I do say so myself in the first post.

Doesn't work in the backtester.

I don't see anything wrong....where was the missed trade>

Old Dog with New Tricks

No. The trading style status will change as new data comes in. It will trade by itself. My suggestion to everyone, pick some settings that you know will put the EA out of stand aside mode and let it run a full week without tweaking. See how many ...

Your stoploss is probably 3 times bigger than your takeprofit.

What times have you set?

Generic Breakout V5

WinPercent needs to be high enough so only one of the two possibilities (Breakout/Counter Trending) is greater than than the WinPercent.

Old Dog with New Tricks

EA's still finding the range...

Generic Breakout V5

Maybe... But definitely not in MQL.

Old Dog with New Tricks

EA's standing aside. It means it doesn't think it will make money in the current market. Generally means your winpercent is too low.
