__[/quote:r648e8y9]____I use range bar charts which are very similar and fxdreema works with my offline charts no issue, just be conscious of any indicator or component that uses a time parameter, it can make the EA do crazy things.[/quote:r648e8y9]

nking,

**Do you have an idea on how I can backtest the EA on renko/range bars in mt4. I don't seem to find a solution[/quote:r648e8y9]

Did you have any luck solving the problem. i also use Renko bars(Ovo.cz) and sometimes the EA works sometimes not, sometimes only 50% of the time.
I am happy to share advice.**

Hi nking, I also have a renko indicator and offline script for backtesting - from Ovo.cz
However all the EA's from fxdreema do crazy things instead of what is required, do you have any advice?
Is your backtest running ok?
Thanks

I copied the buy-sell EA you have on fxDreema, the only thing I changed was the MA value, same value for both buy and Sell.
When I back test it it works perfectly.
When I run it on a demo account it skips 50% of the trades.
Is there some code that needs to be added to make it run properly on a "actual" ( live or demo) account please?

I wish to ask.

One simple buy-Sell EA I used from examples is running well on back test in MT4 on an offline Renko chart.
Then when i run it on a demo account it fails to execute 50% of the trades...
Is there something I am missing?

Yes, I have done this however trades refuse to close

I wish to open a trade - once per bar - check condition ( ma cross )- open trade.
Apply SL of "x" pips
Apply Break even at "x" pips value
Apply Trailing stop of "x" pips every "x" pips.

The above I manage to make easily, however....

To close the trade I wish to use "ma cross" - close trade.
Or another indicator say like MACD on a long trade, when showing bearish divergence - close trade.

This I can't seem to do.
How do I do this please

I do not want to use static TP

Hi, I would like to know how to close a trade using a simple ma cross over.
I tried many things without success.

Please advise.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks Daniel that tip helped.

Thank you, the bar close explanation helps a lot to understand what is happening.

So how do I get the tester/EA to check the previous candle "indicator positions" ( to make a decision to BUY or SELL ) on the first tick and open of the new candle

And - no - the pending order is only working 50% of the time to place the trade where I need it.

So back to a way to get a trade placed at the close of a bar as opposed to the open, when being signaled by an indicator.
