EA(s) not taking all trades
-
Hey hey, whats up my friends!
No matter what EA I build, it'll work great and take ALL signals on lower timeframes. Once I get to higher timeframes above, let's say H4, my EAs still start missing signals and not opening a position. I found nothing in the logs or expert tabs. Ive created an extremely EA. long only. RSI2 buy when close is below the 30 level. if position close above RSI2 level 70, close position. nothing fancy and simple.
image above is this rsi system on the H1. takes all trades
image above is this rsi system on the DAILY. notice the missed signals
Heres the system. https://fxdreema.com/shared/cVddyRT4d
and finally, heres my MT5 backtesting setting.
I try to go as high as weekly and monthly, and get no positions opened on clear signals. Any ideas?

I had have a similar problem . I don´t know why as it would be easy to calculate everything on bigger timeframes.
This happened to me in back test and in live trading too. -
@gooseman One advice is to backtest in real ticks model, another thing that can happen is that the stop loss based on atr gives an invalid stop loss value for the broker. Please check the journal/expert tab for this

@ambrogio thank you for your response. I have tested on all price models, including real ticks, and still have the same issue. my logs are free of error.

@gooseman move "once per bar" and "time filter" just above buy now block, this way the condition block always work, then the green blocks check if it's time to trade

@ambrogio no luck!!
EA is taking some but not all trades. logs are error-free. I can post if anyone wants. I believe MT4 has the option to choose the monthly and weekly tf, but won't actually backtest on it. Could be something with MT5? I searched and could not find anything. Ambrogio, are you able to backtest on the daily,weekly and monthly and check to see if EA took all signals?

@gooseman time filter needs to come before once per bar.
