USING THE TESTERWITHDRAWAL() FUNCTION FOR MODELING THE WITHDRAWALS OF PROFIT

[Vinicius Pereira]

Hello guys
I'm wonder if anyone has already implemented the TESTERWITHDRAWAL() function to simulate commission broker and slippage in your expert advisor and could help me how to insert it in my next Fxdreema EA to make ours Backtest more realist.

What is IDEAL to our community, everyone will gain if you reader can explain how to do call TESTERWITHDRAWAL() and if possible insert constants as:

• Comission
  ** Money ex: withdraw $1 dolar
  ** OR Points ex: withdraw 2 pips
  ** OR Percent ex: withdraw 0.5% of money on deal

• Withdraw happens for every
  ** Lots, withdraw from every lot
  ** Deal, withdraw from deal

• Withdraw Slippage
  ** Pips

• Withdraw happens at
  ** OpenClose
  ** Open

What I need to do right now: withdraw $1 every deal + slippage.

Can someone help me please?
Thanks!

I think there is a Withdrawal block for MQL5, somewhere at the bottom. But in MQL4 there is no such function unfortunately, so if you are asking for MQL4.... I have no idea how to make anything like that

@fxDreema mql5, I'll check it out
Thank you

Hey Radoslav thank you for implementing it!

I saw now new block in "More => Withdraw", I've implemented a expert advisor that uses it and I have another question

I can see the equity curve it's different, this is a system with withdraw 0

This is a system with withdraw 100

In the screen below you can see I've optimized the widthdraw_money and it will impact the drawdown of the tradesystem, it's mean that you function works. But the "Result" still the same

The main point I want such function is to "penalize" and see it in the Results, but it does not change in tester "results => Result" or in the optimization process.

This is a metatrader 5 limitation?

Anybody know how to withdraw and change the "Result" of the equity?

Thank you guys!!!

You know, I have no idea. This "Withdraw" block only exists in MQL5, because only in MQL5 there is a function for that. But it is a simple function, so this block is very very simple. I checked it now, it shows some withdrawal action, but I don't know how it works when optimizing.

I haven't tried it, but you can add a custom optimization criteria to your EA.... if you set that to "profit minus withdrawal" you'll probably get what you need.

I'm not a programer and haven't had enough time to dig into and it to my EA's, but it's something I'm interested in as well (also trade BMF in Brazil). So if you know how to add it to the EA code, I really appreciate if you could show me the way...

thanks a lot.
