I don't think, that an EA will ever be able to have a 100% win ratio (over unlimited time) - it is mathematical possible with an unlimited amount of margin .. but that's it. Because an EA would need to have all paramters necessary to "calculate" the ...

there is always a little bit of luck involved - also you can have bad luck. I don't see the point of learning to trade on a daily chart - it tooks too much time - a M1 follows roughly the same "pattern" - with some more noise I admit, but well, the ...

I know, but I cannot scroll them, nor zoom them and it shows only the last 20 or so. Don't know if I can change some setting, so it shows me the current day, but I don't think so.

At most I don't like the fact, that I cannot see the tick data in the chart .. i can only see an abstraction of it by candles .. that's good for me and how human brain works - but that's a bad base to write an EA on it. I will try to write a small ...

Little update about the last 24 hours the EA was running: It was shortly positiv and ended with loss cause of a bounceback :-) Maybe I can tweak it a little, but to be honest, that was also in backtesting and doesn't matter in the long run. I ...

That's usefull thank you :-) Because I am not a patient person and my current EA is a slow one .. I played around even more. For using smaller Timeframes I needed a better logic for enty point. My EAs uses partly some sort of previous high/lows ...

Yes, thank you :-) So, the EA is attached to 1 Chart-Window or a pair? I hope it is attached to a window .. because if I open another chart of the same pair it starts with wrong timescale .. The EA is now running since yesterday night. on H4 and ...

well, that's not so bad .. as long as I do not transfer the EA to a server I will let it run on a netbook, so I can always see how it's doing. thx anyway

Thank you very much for the detailled explanation. I was already aware of the mentioned faults, but they should not matter - it's still a bunch of numbers. I was simulating by converting the M1 (when I am right .. it says "collecting m1, m5 etc") .. ...

First I'll try to set it up on a demo, just to watch if my broker accepts everything as it should .. currently I cannot Send S/L and T/P right with the order, but need to send an extra modify - that's annoying and i have to implement that first. ...

I will try that out surely.. but maybe I just raise a demo account and let it run and see what happens :-) Is it right, that MT4 does not use the real tick-data? So it is possible that some peaks are hidden during testing? I have no further ...

I'll try that out, because I am much interested in the result with high quality tick data (even, when MT4 dont simulate it right). Thx for the link Ok, just fooling around and trying my EA on an H4 Basis .. it's not made for it, but i tried it ...
- mr2 replied Jan 12, 2012
Okay, because of your intents about the big DD i tried something out. And yes, there is an additional risk of when to start the ea, because it can drop the balance down very hard at the beginning. Tested this with a start in august.2010 the EA drops ...

Thanks for your post - if someone can provide me with apropriate tick data I would love to try my EA on it because the history which i got currently is not the best. I am also open for step by step instructions how to test it properly, just because ...

My EA uses a capped progressive investment scheme - for savety reasons it is capped and the propability of a full loss goes nearly zero after some months (except end of world conditions with losses over a full year, propability nearly zero). If I ...

hi hewtwok What exactly do you mean? My EA places several pending orders at each beginning of a day, all with predefined S/L and T/P You can get the close prise of the last week, with "iClose" function with PERIOD_WEEK and shift 1 .. if it's that ...
