@andermaiden2nd Thanks for the response.
I've learned that basing everything on fxDreema's
Once per bar makes it so you never need ticks again. When I test with ticks after optimizing with
Open prices only the difference is often less than a dollar, net profit (<1%). Ticks are not necessary. Even with one minute charts, which is my preference. Buying tick data is simply unnecessary.
Besides, external data is not compatible with your broker. The only data to use is your broker data. And maybe not even demo data. One of my brokers demo data differs from live. The other,
forex.com, is solid -- demo and live are exactly the same. So far, anyway.
I can't image getting away with using anything but your particular broker's data. This is not the stock market. Read your contracts. They reserve the right to modify the data, and they do, big time.
fxDreema rounds UP after computing lot size if the result is less than 0.01. So if you plan on filling up an account with EAs and relying on fxDreema to compute lot size, expect margin calls. Or be sure to oversize your account or put manual limits on your EAs.
When you hit your margin limit and several EAs try to open trades they'll bust your limit.
š Your broker will be taking your money. So be careful.
The round up is apparently a feature having to do with too many new users not getting any trades.
I've had three EAs round up simultaneously on demo, that's how I found out about it.
