Despite the suspicious EA size (1.4 MB!), it is obvious that this EA has been overfitted to EURUSD history data. Unfortunately, an overfitted model will not generalize and hence will fail on unseen future data.

Hi, you can send me a PM in this regard.

Hi JJosuke, In my opinion, the issue you are referring to is due to the way your programmer/developer determines the open of new Renko bars. The trading EAs written to trade on regular time-based charts (such as M30, H1, etc.) often fail to work ...

Hi howa61, You need to download history data using Metatrader4 download section. Brokers provide very limited amount of historical data even if you run the "force script". /Matt

SMA cross might have happened before the month you are testing. In this case if you back test the whole year the cross will be taken by the EA (and might be a good trade), but when you change to one month, that cross will not happen...

Hi Dave! From entry points highlighted in your charts, I guess that you trade breakouts over S/R levels. Specially when you see a triangle formed by the Renko bricks. /Matt

Hi Dave! It is kind of strange! I will look at it closely today to see what happens when I turn on the alerts (I usually do not use the alerts). Edit: Which symbol you are attaching the EA to? Best, Matt

Hi darrelf, The history Renko bars are required by indicators (and probably Renko trading EAs) when they want to do some calculations such as Moving Average. It is also needed for those who want to manually back-test their strategies. If you do not ...

Hi daro84, Could you post a picture of the Renko chart when this happens? It is not trivial for me to duplicate the issue you are referring to. A screenshot with the input settings will help me to find out the problem, if any. Best, Matt

I uploaded a ZIP file containing a set of sample Renko HST files for EURUSD in Post 1. You can download and try those HST files (which I am 100% sure working with no problem). The direct link to download the ZIP file.

You need to, 1. create M1 HST for Renko backtesting (AUDCAD1.hst, for example); 2. copy the HST file into your broker's server folder under history; 3. restart your MT4 platform; 4. bring up the strategy tester; 5. choose AUDCAD as symbol, M1 as ...
