WHY IS THIS TRIGGERING?
-
This EA is supposed to trigger only when the CCI cross above 100 (or below -100 for sell).
Yet this trade triggered. On the backtesting it shows that the CCI only reached 70. I understand that during a candle an EA can spike and then at the close of the candle go lower...but that much lower?
It would make sense if the CCI on the backtest said 90 or 95 but I have a hard time believing that it spike up to 100 and then back down to 70 by the close of the candle.
Do you think this is what happened? Or is there something else?
-
the EA is STD CCI 1-0
-
Instead of wondering what is going on, you can just backtest the EA in Visual mode and you will be able to see exactly what was the value of CCI at that moment.
-
The problem is that it only shows the indicators after the testing is stopped.
I cannot see the formation of the indicator during the ticks.
That's the only way I would know if the CCI is spiking that much during ticks.
Is there a way to watch the indicators during the back test?
-
On mine, Visual mode only shows the indicators after the test is stopped.
-
That is true, but you can manually add them to the chart. I don't know how to tell MT4 to draw indicators and I don't know if that is even possible, but again, they can be manually added
