Hi, I've downloaded Tickstory data for EURUSD and I think the backtester is using this data. I've used the moving average ea that came with the platform and that works OK but when i try my ea i get the unmatched data error message. I suspect it is my ea causing the problem because I have never made an ea before. Can you give me any further advice. what could be wrong with my ea that is causing this message or what else could i be doing wrong?
Thanks very much for all your help.

RE: Entry, stop loss and take profitposted in Questions & Answers
Thanks again. I've loaded the EX4 file onto metatrader and run the EA and got several messages in the journal along the lines of "test generator: unmatched data error (low value 1.36493 at 2013.12.19 00:00 is not reached from the least timeframe, low price 1.36514 mismatches)". On the Report tab there are 72 Mismatched chart errors. The modelling quality was 90%. What have I done wrong??

Thanks for that. I used Single Candle Template to identify the shape of the previous candle. I hope that is correct.
When I try to create an EX4 file i get Compilation Errors: Pending - variable not defined; Order - variable not defined; Price - variable not defined; Stop - variable not defined; Loss - variable not defined. Can you help.
Also, once I have constructed my EA, is there ant way of checking if there are construction mistakes before it is loaded onto MetaTrader? -
RE: Entry, stop loss and take profitposted in Questions & Answers
Hi, I have selected dynamic options in Buy Pending Order but it does not allow me to set stop loss at 10 pips above the previous candle nor a take profit for a risk reward of 1:2. In my system I don't change my SL and TP once they are set.
Regarding the 40% or fib 38.2, what i want to do is set my trade entry point at a fib 38.2 (or 40%, it doesn't matter) of the previous candle. The aim is to take advantage of the price retracement before it heads to my take profit target.
I have looked at various options in fxdreema and it doesn't seem to be available. Can you tell me exactly where to look and how to do it.
Thanks -

It doesn't have to be a precise fib 38.2, just something near it. 40% retrace would be near enough.
I have found For Each Object function and selected Fibonacci Retracement but don't understand what Z-A or A-Z means.
I have looked and can't find anything that allows me to set the stop loss and take profit where i want to place it. Can you tell me where these functions are.
I am totally new to EAs and know nothing about programming.
If you can tell me how to carry out these functions in fxdreema then I can my EA done.

RE: Entry, stop loss and take profitposted in Questions & Answers
Hi, Any advice please.
- I want to enter trades once a candle has closed at a fib 38.2 level of the candle.
- I want to set my stop loss at 10 pips above the high of the wick when going short and 10 pips below the low of the wick when going long.
- I want my take profit to be twice the distance between my entry and my stop loss.
Can I do that in fxdreema? Any help appreciated.
Cheers!
