Anything will work. Your's should be plenty fast enough. Testing over a whole year with lots of variables can take an hour or so, depending. A little patience can be helpful. :-) At least MT5 will let you do it. MT4's limitations are a pain with ...

Sounds like someone having a bad day. Sorry to hear it. Negative and silly thoughts will get you nowhere. They WILL keep you from succeeding. Optimism is a very good trading tool. Stay careful, well managed, and optimistic.

Forward testing is more important these days. Before you could just optimize over the most recent three to six months or so and go live. Now, leaving the more recent few months un-optimized and used for final testing is very helpful. About half the ...

There's nothing wrong with Blessing's exit strategy. Sure it could be better in many ways. But Blessing is quite complex already, and it works the way it is. You will not achieve perfection with trading robots. It's all about approximations in every ...

Read the manual a couple times. Use MT5 for testing. MT4 is too limited. Optimize on MT5 and convert to MT4 if that's what you're trading on.

The latest version of Blessing on here most likely has that one beat by a country mile. You're looking for magic. And you already have it.

Look into doing a bit of optimizing on your own and I suspect you'll be much more successful. Folks that think they can just grab someone else's setup and go are missing out, in my opinion. Blessing is pretty good stuff if you tune it up for your ...

You really need to start a new group for that. This one is already too large and confused with too many versions. Thanks!

Okay, who wants to know how to make money?

I appreciate your input. I'm more concerned about not having enough trades than having too many. None of my brokers seem to care if I scalp or not. Money is money. I like having one or two scalpers in the mix so there's always some activity ... :-) ...

MT5 is a zillion times better than MT4. At least if you have a fast computer with lots of processor cores. Assuming you're interested in automated trading. image The tester whipped up these numbers with one try. Took 30 minutes.

Thanks, I'm good. And only a legend in my own mind ... I'm most appreciative of what Fxtrue has done. I'm testing out his cleanup of Blessing for MT4/MT5. Most impressive.

So many odd ways of looking at things ... 1. Why would you expect a set file for one broker to work with another when broker data varies so widely? 2. Why do you care if a set file only performs well for a month or two when it only takes a half hour ...

If we could boil down the manual process we might be able to add it to Blessing's logic. As you suggest, this is clearly Blessing's biggest failing. If we could devise a reasonable equation to describe the larger trend, etc., as you are doing ...

The very old, 'official' (according to whom?), version of Blessing is a wonderful tool. But it is slow and error prone. The other versions are attempts at improvement. Many do work, and work far better than your 'official' version. Time marches on. ...
