Hi @jstap , no I haven't tried another indicator. I just figured since it was coming from the stock MT5 platform, it would have worked. I'll try another Donchian Channel indicator and see if it works.
Will report back.

Thank you,

Hi All,

I'm trying to add the MT5 Donchian Channel indicator to FXDreema, but I get the following error msgs when I try to backtest:

I used the MT5 file from Meta Trader 5, I copied it to my desktop and then loaded it into FXDreema from the desktop.

Then I imported the file into FXDreema:

And Tried using it in a EA :

Any help would be appreciated. I've tried searching the forum and read the Tutorial #6 by Miro. Still no luck...

The names of the variables are different but I read that doesn't really matter.

Hi everyone, thanks for your replies. I appreciate the info.
I'm going to start with this: Whether I want to run the EA(s) on one market, vs many and on which timeframe? "What type of EA Babysitter do I want to be?"

So I'm thinking I can break this down in the following way for simplicity sake over the short term: One Market - Multiple EA's (Trend Following, momo, and mean reversion)

vs

Many markets with one system - ie: Trend following.

I've noticed that during some EA tests there are great DD periods. So I will also look into the actual charts during those draw down periods to see if there are clues signaling to just stay out of the market.

Anyways, thank you again for helping me clarify my thoughts a little bit more.

Hey everyone,

Just wondering how you incorporate FXDreema into your trading journey if you don't already have a profitable system?

I'm learning to use FXDreema and backtesting on ICMarkets. The goal is to build a portfolio of EA's across the majors & crosses, to trade prop firms and having a successful Darwin.

But then what? IC Markets only has a handful of pairs you can backtest. Say you have a profitable EA on GBPUSD, but you don't know how it works on other pairs.
So, do you have to get Data from Tick Data Suite 2, download Dukascopy data, convert it, and import it into MT5?

Then, you import the 28 majors and crosses and backtest the EA on each of the 28 pairs?

Then how do you optimize? If you want to test a RRR, BE stop or indicator settings, do you adjust the original EA and then run it across all 28 pairs INDIVIDUALLY again?
What about walk forward testing and Monte Carlo testing? I've read that you need those to test the robustness of the EA or the portfolio of EAs... But again, is that done on all 28 pairs individually?

Or should I just focus on one instrument like NQ and/or GC cfd's? Less volume of work and "portfolio" development to worry about.

Let me know how you guys are doing this because, it seems overwhelming. It seems Like FX Dreema is a great tool to build something specific, but if you don't have something specific, what are the next steps in successful algo development?

Where do other tools like Strategy Quant come into play? I heard they're great for strategy development but a lot of people never use it to it's full capacity because they don't understand the logic behind EA's which you learn through FX Dreema.

Full Disclosure - I love FXDreema - it's fun to learn and stumble my way through the functions. I love playing with it as literally hours fly by.

But I'm obviously stuck on process. Any help/direction from successful algo developers would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Hi David, Ok I'll reach out to admin and let them know.

Thanks for the work around, I'll try your suggestion.

Hi David,

Thanks for chiming in.

I tried those settings and they didn't work. The Buy Stop was set but it didn't expire. That order eventually got tagged and activated, but it should have expired after the third candle following the trigger candle (Which I've marked out with a yellow arrow)

Please see attached.

Thanks in advance

Is there a way to do this so that the algo automatically makes an order expire after 2 or 3 candles, irrespective of the timeframe?

Right now I'm creating different versions of algos based on their timeframes and the main difference is that I use a different expiry fore each timeframe. It makes keeping track of the algos unnecessarily duplicative.
Ex:
Algo V.0 - 15m timeframe with 45 min pending order expiry
Algo V.1 - 1h timeframe with 3 hour pending order expiry
Algo V.2 - 4h timeframe with 12 hour pending order expiry
Algo V.3 - 1D timeframe with 3 day pending order expiry

Is there a way to have one algo which makes the order expire after say, 3 candles, irrespective of the timeframe I back test it on?

Thanks for your help!

Hi everyone, I'm trying to backtest an EA on the Daily chart and whenever a setup forms, I get the following error about a Failed Entry due to (Market Closed).

Any idea how to overcome this with FXDreema? I asked Claude.Ai and it told me to use a time filter before my pending order block, and set it to 00:05 and 23:55, but that didn't work. Instead the EA didn't detect any setups at all.

FYI this issue persists on lower timeframes too, like the H4. Basically if there's a setup at the end of the day, whether it's the D1 or H4 (or lower timeframe) and the market is "closed" the order doesn't trigger.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you
