    • RE: How to set trades lot size from newest to oldest?

      @andrew-b Hello,

      I don't believe there's a straight forward way to do this if you have a custom sequesnce that is not an addition or a multiplier of the previous size unless someone else here on the forum can lead us to a simple answer. However, to do this, you will probably need to place a variable in the lot size of the trade, and after that do the following in the screenshot for the amount of number of trades you want:

      That's how I would approach this. Good Luck đŸ™‚

      @zarbitz Hello,

      I can think of one way to get the results you need. Create a variable and with every closing trade, add 1 to it, and after a winning trade modify it to reset. In the following image is an example which you may need to fix.

    • RE: How to get 99% back testing

      @raiderspaz @TipsyWisdom @l-andorrĂ  Hello,

      This may be a bit off topic, but when you have a strategy to trade on MT5 and try backtesting it on different broker servers with their own data, you will find that your results will vary even though the differences are small between different broker prices. What that showed me throughout the years is that:

      1. MT5 is the simplest way to get the data of my broker.
      2. Best to optimize your EA for your broker and MT5 is the way to go.
      3. If you see that your strategy loses or fails based on data accuracy, then keep in mind that different brokers already have differences in live prices and that shows me that accurate data is not the important factor in your backtesting or knowing that a strategy is a winner.

      I believe that a good strategy should care that much on how accurate the data is. I mean if a pip here and there affects it that much, that's not a good strategy to me. Trying different brokers should just shows how solid the strategy is or how overoptimized it is.

      That's my opinion and I wonder guy what do you think?

    • RE: Optimisation

      @cliff-0 always possible to over optimize. my recommendation to you is to use out of sample data. meaning if you want to optimize, keep a year or two out of the optimization dates then look at the results, choose the ones you think are best and test on this out of sample year. if it fails, then most probably the results are over optimized. just keep in mind that if you start testing on this out of sample data, then minor tweaks do not work since the out of sample data will be considered in-sample.

    • RE: EAs stop working when account is switched

      @l-andorrĂ  or maybe you misunderstood where I face this problem. Basically if I have a chart open with the EA on it, and I login to a different account, I get this error, where I have to relaunch the EA to have it work again.

    • RE: EAs stop working when account is switched

      @l-andorrĂ  I contacted the admin as I didn't expect that he looks the the forum posts much, and I thought of posting this here to have more people have a look at it.

      Are you sure this doesn't happen to you? It seems to happen with all the fxdreema EAs I have as I tested.

    • EAs stop working when account is switched

      Hello everyone.

      I just came across something that has probably been a bug with fxdreema, but I just noticed. It seems that if I'm running an EA built with fxdreema in MT4 (didn't try this with MT5) and I switched my trading account as the EA is running, the EA will stop and I will get an array out of range error as you can see in the screenshot.

      0_1645636534116_error 1.png

      This error seems to be linked to line 289 in this specific EA but its always related to the ( Run Blocks) part as you can see in the next screenshot.

      0_1645636551372_error 2.png

      I even tried running an empty project with only two connected block on Tick and the error persists. I tried other EAs that weren't made with fxdreema, and this error doesn't happen.

      Does anyone now of a way around that problem? I mean when I run EAs, I want the same EAs to continue on the same settings and charts on any account I switch to.

    • RE: I need urgent help for my robot

      @emreizmir Hello,
      From what I see is that you have set the trade TP to 100 while you also set the trailing start pips to 100. This means that the trailing stop will never start.

    • RE: I can't find the thread, sorry. Could someone help?

      @l-andorrĂ  50/120 = 0.41 lots

      Now you will need to test one thing though:
      The 120 in the above formula is either pips or pipettes. (0.0001 or 0.00001) and I'm not next to my pc at the moment to do a quick test.
      The other thing is that this will work with the EURUSD but I'm not sure if its the same on other currencies.

      @l-andorrĂ 
      This is the formula for currencies with USD base keeping in mind that I have removed the pip size rules from the settings:
      0.001 = 0.01
      0.00001 = 0.0001
      0.000001 = 0.0001

    • RE: How to get 99% back testing

      @l-andorrĂ  don't take my word as I'm not sure, but it seems to me and it would make sense that all brokers historical data is the actual data that they were running live, but stored up for us to use. It makes sense this way because you would see big differences between their results. But then again, brokers have data from before they were established. So I'm not sure how they really work. In any case, I ran the same EAs on FXCM and Swissquote once to see the difference. These EAs were optimized on MT4s historical data. These EAs ran very well on FXCM but were worse on swissquote. This showed me that in reality strategies should have some slack to the difference in pricing between brokers.

    • RE: Regarding Payment

      @arivazhagan-p Hello.

      1. I have been trying to pay through PayPal directly and it doesn't seem to work with me.
      2. However, when I use the (fast pay by fast spring) option, I pay them with PayPal. I assume that if you are logged in through your account in fxdreema and then enter the payment page and at payment you login through your friends PayPal account, it should work. I mean my login email to fxdreema and my PayPal email are different and it is working for me. That is to say I am paying through fast pay and paying them with PayPal.
