@roar Thanks for sharing. Lots of ways to use the tools, nice to see someone else's approach.

Suggestions on ways of managing risk with multiple EAs on one account would be most appreciated.

Thanks, and profitable trading!

@rafaelgrecco Thanks Rafael. I was getting multiple simultaneous trades on the one-minute time frame, bar after bar. No paying attention to open positions or trades.

Definitely a lack of documentation, help files, demos, tutorials, etc.

Lots of surprises and wasted time.

Thanks.

I was using MT4 but MT5 is sooooo much better for backtesting.

Here's my history logger. A little messy but it works. Still can't seem to get it to work on MT5 though.

It writes the whole history to file when you start it and re-writes every time a trade closes.
Great for looking for good performing EAs on demo.

I have a Perl script for parsing it with.

Edit: The logger appears to have a strange bug. Each time it writes out the trade history it seems to include the data from the previous loop. So each time it triggers the written file grows by the size of the whole trade history. With still only one header. Very strange.

@rafaelgrecco Thanks. I've put some useful things together. But surprises still arise.

More complete help files would make the learning curve more bearable.

@miro1360 said in FxDreema is awesome!:

Do you think your karma will improve if you predict and talk about the karma of others and you don't focus on your own?

I advise you:

• forget about forex, forget about investing, forget about gambling
• instead of crying, find a regular job and finally start to fulfill your life with happiness, we can't help you here
• I'm sure the admin is making a refund, just ask him and say it didn't meet your expectations

That was an unhelpful remark.

Assuming fxDreema intends to offer a good, useful service. And assuming he intends to make money at the endeavor, Angela's observations should be considered quite helpful and not something to attack.

If subscribership is actually very low, as suggested, it's most likely because the system seems easy to use, but in practice things don't work as expected. And because each feature is poorly documented the only way to know what things do is to spend lots of time testing yourself -- which certainly shouldn't be necessary. And most likely chases users away.

I like the abilities fxDreema provides. I really hate the lack of documentation and examples. I subscribe a year at a time. But I know I must spend lots of time testing. And I have scripts that hack the .mq4 code it creates to fix bugs.

Once you get past the (much larger than expected) learning curve it becomes a useful tool.

If fxDreema wants a larger subscribership and the larger income that would provide then paying closer attention to all the details that are currently being ignored would certainly help.

So many wonderful and elaborate facilities are provided, and so many tiny details left undone which make things much harder to use. And much more error-prone. For a system expected to control large sums of money that's tragic.

My guess at better skip-ticks and delay functions. Sounds like the provided ones are not very useful.

Haven't tested these. Just guessing ...

Everything in fxDreema needs to be tested carefully.

GMT is the same no matter where you are. Seems like a much better choice for automated trading and discussing things with others around the world.
