Just have some quick questions:
According to your explanations will it be good to use the following settings as shown in the screen shots?

Thank you so much @willramsey , You've just enlightened me more on this topic.

Hi

I will like to know the best ways to set up the DELAY AND MODELING functions while back testing an EA. Do these settings really matter and do they have any effects on the outcome of your EA's performance in live trading?

Please see the attached screen shots to understand what am talking about better.

Hello everyone,

Please I really need help on this issue.
I want my EA to be able to have memory/record for all losses and try to recover them in subsequent trades without resetting the martingale until all losses are recovered.

The asset (Boom and Crash) I trade has a lot of spikes and its very difficult to calculate the expected number of pips for each spike because their lengths vary. Also it is not possible to set stop loss because the spikes does not respect stop loss.
So what I am trying to achieve is this, I want a situation whereby if for example the EA takes 8 win trades (total profit $40) with 0.2 lot and a spike occurs and took away $33 from the profit.
I want the EA/martingale settings to able to record this loss and try to make the profit back in the next 3 trades or there about by using higher lot sizes. And if in the process of trying to recover the loss another spike occurs. Then the EA should be able to add the current loss with the balance from the previous loss it was try to recover and make them back together by continuing to use a given higher lot size untill the whole loss is fully recovered then the lot will be reset back to initial lot size.
Let me try to explain better for more clarifications.
This is the exact thing i want the EA to do.
The ea starts trading now using its initial lot size 0.2 and it has made $40 after taking 8 trades. Then a spike occurs and it took about $33 away from the profit. Then the EA should have it on record that it has $33 loss to recover. Then the EA will use either 0.6 or more to open the next couple of trades untill the whole $33 is recovered then it will reset back to 0.2 lot and continue trading.
But if during the process of trying to recover the $33 another loss occurs. For example, if the ea has recovered $22 from the first $33 loss and another loss of $12 occurs then the ea should be able to add current loss of $12 with $11 balance from the previous loss which means the ea will be able to know that it now has $22 loss to recover and should continue to use 0.6 or higher lot until the total $22 loss is fully recovered. Then the lotsize will reset back to 0.2.

I hope this is understood,
Any suggestions will be highly appreciated.

@jstap Thank you so much. I really appreciate.

Hello everyone,

I am trying to create an EA that opens a new trade in the opposite direction after the stop loss of the first trade has been hit.

That is, the ea should be able to place a buy trade immediately after the sell trade hits stop loss.

Below is the link to the project i tried to create which is not giving the result i need. The second trade is opening too many positions after the stop loss of the first one instead of opening just one position.

Please help me look into it, it is possible that i am uaing the wrong block. I just need something that can open a new trade immediately or just about 1 or 2 pips before or after the stop loss of the first trade.

Thanks in anticipation.

@l-andorrà this is the whole project, i just need to add one or two more blocks.
so, is it normal that the ea behaves like that on backtest

Hello
please i will like anyone to help me on this project. this is an ea that uses martingale but during backtest the ea does not follow the number of multiplication i set in . observe that it only does this on major currency pairs. it follows the correct multiplication numbers on cryptocurrency pairs.

please help me look into it and let me know what need to do to correct the error.

thanks

here is the project link; https://fxdreema.com/shared/lN57z8age

@jstap thank you so much. i really appreciate

@l-andorrà thank you sir. another thing i would like to know is what if I want to do this for different pairs. for example eur/usd and eur/jpy.
thanks

@vish Thank you so much, i really appreciate.
please is this going to be under 'on Init' or 'on Trade' tab

Hello everyone,

please i will appreciate if someone can tell me how to make (restrict) an EA trade only on 2 or specific symbols/pair. thanks

@l-andorrà Alright thanks for the insights sir.

@l-andorrà Thanks for your reply sir.

Please could you make me understand why an EA will work very well on backtest as intended and performs something else on live trading?

Hello everyone

I have been trying to make my EA use martingale on child trades which starts opening after parent trade reaches -50pips and above. Fortunately, I was able to get the exact settings that gives me this result when back tested. But the amazing thing is that when I used it on live account it perform different functions entirely.

Here is the project: https://fxdreema.com/shared/T8TZQOSMd

Could anyone please help me look into this and let me know what I did wrongly?
The problem I am having with this one I created is that when installed on live account, the child trade (Block 11) opens position the same time with parent trade (block 7) instead of waiting for block 7's trade to get to -50pip before placing a trade. Secondly, it continues to open new trades every time the condition for block 10 is met instead of waiting for another -50 pips.

Please help me look into this and let me know maybe I am not using right blocks to set this up.

What I am trying to achieve exactly is a scenario whereby when the first trade gets to -50pips then another trade opens with a higher lot size and if that one also continues to go in negative then another trade with higher lot size should open when it it also gets to -50pips till it starts reversing.

Thanks in anticipation.

@l-andorrà @miro1360 @iqbalazmi @ajmd97fx please help me out

@ajmd97fx said in How To Use My EA's Name As Comment.:

@lanrayy hola, puedes crear una constante que incluya el nombre que quieres poner

después lo asignas en el campo comentario de la apertura del trade

también puedes crear diferentes variables que tomen diferentes tipos de datos, por ejemplo el TF o cuantos Buy hay abiertos actualmente y lo sumas todo con la función "stringconcatenate" por ejemplo

Thank you so much @ajmd97fx I really appreciate your detail explanation.

@lanrayy

Thank you so much @iqbalazmi , The method works.

@lanrayy

Hello everyone

Please I will appreciate if anyone can suggest how to setup comment block which will enable me write my EA's name as comment which will make it able to show under comment tab in mt5 /MT4 platform.

You can see example of what I am talking about in this image below. The name of the EA that placed those trades is DBOSS and its able to show as comment under trade history.

Please guide me on how to setup something like this. It will highly appreciated.  )

Thank you so much @l-andorrà . The problem has been solved.
