Hi Dave, Several years ago, I conducted extensive hand backtesting of some simple breakout systems on the H1, H4 and daily timeframes. I found that, quite consistently, the worst losses came at the end of the month/beginning of a new month. Also, if ...

Hi David, I notice your broker is Global Prime. I use them as well. As you know, Global Prime charges a commission of $7 per lot per round trip on top of its spread. If wonder if, for commission brokers, it would be possible to make the live spread ...

Hi Dave, I wonder if it would help the cause to implement a "2-D" optimization graph similar to that produced during MT4 optimizations. The benefit of the graph is that it illustrates visually whether the backtest result of any particular set of ...

Hi Dave, Here's a mean reversion strategy I like. For a short trade, price must close above the top BB and then, on the next bar, close below the top BB. When this occurs, open a short trade at the start of the next bar. There are different versions ...

It's not even done yet and I'm already starting with suggestions for new features, lol. Can't help myself. I really like the days of the week filter. Would it also be possible to incorporate another for hours of the day?

Hi m00jiman, What I'm going for looks like the chart below after the trades have closed. Notice that for each trade, there are two separate partial trades plotted. That's the reason I've been describing it as two trades. From a coding perspective, ...

Hi Dave, Yes, I would like the option to manage a trade in two portions. Portion 1: ability to set a fixed take profit and fixed stop based on pips. Portion 2: ability to set a fixed take profit and trailing stop based on pips That's the basic ...

Hi Dave, As per our email exchange, I will post here a public request for you to add a partial closure function to the EA. This feature would allow traders to close portions of a trade at different take-profit levels. Additionally, I personally ...

I've just discovered another potential solution to my problem: code the EA to delay opening a trade at the start of a daily bar for X minutes after the new bar opens (X being whatever number of minutes it takes on average for spreads to return to ...

From a technical perspective, what are you seeking to exploit?

I may have missed something you wrote earlier, but I don't understand your reason for stopping the EA after reaching a profit target. How do you determine your profit target? What's your reason for stopping? I frequently use time of day to limit ...

Hi Dave, Volume is working now - many thanks. Please note, though, that I had to make a small additional edit to your code to make the volume filter work correctly for bearish candles. I changed process sell volume from this: ...

Hi Dave, Using your set file, the volume filter worked. However, when I removed the EMA and straddle filters and used a candlestick filter instead, it stopped working correctly. The issue seems to be related to the CSTimeframe setting. I'm trying to ...

Hi Dave, I 'm following up on the volume filter. I was delayed in testing it out and just got to it now. What I'm finding is that the filter works correctly when used on its own. However, when I add another filter to get a combined backtest, I get ...
