__[/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.

Hi,

I think I resolved the issue by using a pending order.

Will update again.

Hi,,thanks for the reply.

The renko creator is from OVO.cz
https://ovo.cz/products/offline-charts-for-mt4/renko-bars/

Renko with wicks. It's only licenced to me - however there is a 15 day free trial and simple download to get it. V quick and easy.

Today again I am running an EA I made, RenSim.

So I tell it to trade when 2 ma's cross, and then every consecutive bar thereafter if the MA 1 is still above/below MA 2.

Mega Simple.

What happens in the back tester is it trades at the crossover, however from the bar open not the bar close ( which is impossible in real time of course - as it's future knowledge )
I am using the "time module" check once per bar.
How do I get it to trade at bar close instead of open please?

When I put the trade if MA1 is above/below MA2 - it skips most of the direction change bars - trades 25% and not the rest - which is odd - so it doesn't trade most of the losses

As for the trades to trade bars when a crossover has happened - say when MA 1 is Above MA 2 - Buy, it trades them, yet also 1 bar into the future.
So the last bar in the range which should be a loss is traded in the opposite direction - ie future knowledge. which means that the rest of the bars ( in trend ) are also traded one bar into the future.

Basically I need to know how to activate a trade at the end of a bar( bar close ). So if MA1 is above MA2 at bar close = Buy. Simple.

However what concerns me as well is the fact that it is even missing some signals altogether, even if they are incorrect as above.

I have screen shots to clarify if you could let me know how to send/attach them.

Thanks in advance

Hi Admin,

I seem to have found the problem.

Your EA's do not run well on offline-RENKO- charts, there seems to be a incompatibility between the two.

Not fxdreema's fault.

Hi there Admin.

I am having issues with a multitude of functions on the EA's.

I am testing on Renko bars, so I am not sure if that will affect the EA functionality.

Breakeven not working - or it works in some EA's and not others
This goes for trailing stop, when to trade ( ma's crossing or one above the other )
Basically the EA's do whatever they please it seems.

So I am not sure I am putting them together properly, please see my latest one - Renko Freak - ultra simple only 5 blocks, as that is not working either.

Also during back testing certain functions just stop working and others change function!

So I guess I must be missing something important!

Please Help!!!

Thanks
