RE: Trailing to Blockposted in Questions & Answers
the logic of the trailing must be, "If trade," then "Trail Stop." But if you don't preface with a block prior like "If Trade," it doesn't know to look for a trade to trail. I have not been able to make it work with other similar blocks, only the "If Trade," can come before the trail stop and break even block...but I'm not very good at the specifics of this software. I'm sure other things can make it work....I just stick to what I know works usually unless I have to find another way.

I personally only use 1 comment block per value I wanted displayed, but for each recurring comment block I want to see a line, I add 50 to the Y coordinate. to continue the rows down and to the left.

That is the block required for an ATR SL of ATR * 2 (2.5 would be "*25000" in the adjust block)

@Moonkay
That is the amount of money per tick. So every time the pair moves in a direction 1 mark, 1 trade, (1 pip), you are either going to be gaining or losing 1%. -

Freeze 1% of Equity is the way to go.

RE: Strategy Results, Good? Bad? Okay?posted in General Discussions
^ @l-andorrà you saw how price came down to my robots call twice yesterday and repelled it? @ 2000 GMT it was 2 pips away and has been climbing since. I'm expecting to close the trade at 1.23062 for a 52 pip profit.
(I think it was 2000 GMT at least) MT4 is in server time, right? -

Also, if you look at journal tab in MT4 software, it will tell you in red line what failed.

RE: Strategy Results, Good? Bad? Okay?posted in General Discussions
@l-andorrà Maybe while the robot is running this week, maybe it will get enough money to afford tickdata.
It just missed taking a trade right now, it was supposed to enter long at 1.22535 today on EURUSD and it hasn't.

Strategy Results, Good? Bad? Okay?posted in General Discussions

Just stopping in here to see how these results compare to everyone elses EA's that are being created. I completed this one on the last day of 2020 just to see how it did through the year.
Any suggestions on how to get better modelling quality within the MT4 software, better than 90%?

RE: EMA Shift Crossposted in Questions & Answers
In my bit of experience, always build your robots to either buy or sell. Do not do it for both because it is very hard to say the same rules that work one way are going to work the other, just because its opposite. Also, when getting very detailed, it is easy to miss small things, especially when you are using rules that are opposite of each other trying to buy and sell in the same EA.

RE: Reliable software for testing Expert advisors.posted in Questions & Answers
regarding high quality history, any suggestions on a broker that can achieve near 100% accuracy? Best I have with AAFX is 25% on 1 minute, and everything else is 90% or 75%, regardless of what I do in history center.
