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 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, ...

To help ensure nobody else needs to bother Dave here or by PM about how to use the ATR stop and TP settings, here's an image showing both the ATR stop and ATR TP enabled.

When I use the settings you recommended, the EA works for a time... Until it takes a trade at a level to which price does not return. The attached image of the GBPUSD hourly chart shows what I mean. The EA was set to begin trading the PriceEMAEvent ...

Hi Dave, I'm attempting to set my stop and take profit using the ATR function and it's not working for me. This is the first time I've tried to use it. The attached image shows my settings. Could you tell me if they are correct? Kind regards, ...

Here's the problem I spotted. I'm using simple candle reversal trade logic to make legitimate trades easy to spot. Short trade: if ((C1>O1)&&(C<O)) Long trade: if ((C1<O1)&&(C>O)) I hope this is clear for you.

I've set my .set file the same as yours, but it's still not working for me. Could you send me a .set file that you've tested successfully?

Still not working. Here's a pic of my settings. Are they correct? EDIT: Just saw your post. Will refresh, fix settings and try again.

Not working for me. In the attached image, I set the EA to trade only on Wed and Thurs, but it trades every day. .set attached.

Dave, Just wanted to give you an update on my tick data issue with GOLD. I solved it! As you know, I use Dukascopy tick data sourced via Tickstory. When I first tried to test GOLD using your EA, nothing happened. After a bit of digging, I discovered ...

I've checked and rechecked to ensure that I have nominated a 15 minute chart and am testing on a 15 minute chart. The problem is still there. Pictures provided to illustrate. (Also, apologies for sending the wrong .set file last time. I have two ...

Hi Dave, I'm still plugging away at my gold tick-data issue, but I noticed that the "every tick" testing problem on candlestick trades you worked on earlier is still present on the 15 minute chart. (I don't usually look at the 15 minutes, so I ...

Hi Dave, I ran the .set file you provided on open prices, as you did, and it didn't work. Then I changed the symbol in the code from XAU to GOLD and reran it. Success! (Remember, I'm using Dukascopy data and TickStory requires the symbol XAUUSD be ...

The attached chart is of the EURUSD on H1. I used the PriceEMAEvent strategy with a 50 pip stop and a 50 pip TP. My .set file is attached. On the chart, I've pointed out two trades that should not have opened but did. The first example happened on ...

Thanks for the updated EA. I've just checked it and see that you've eliminated the issue of multiple trades on a bar. Many thanks! However, there's still an ongoing problem with trades opening when the should not. See the attached image. I think ...

Hi Dave, I completely understand what you're saying and don't want to take advantage of you. However, I'm trying to use the EA and I'm noticing aspects of its operation that I figure you'd want to know about. I do hope I'm adding some value for you. ...

Hi Dave, I'm having trouble with the UseTimeofDay feature. Attached is an image of an H1 chart with trading limited to between 1 AM and 8 AM. As you can see, trades are occurring throughout the day. I've also included an image of my parameters in ...

Hi Dave, Many thanks for the continuing improvements and updates. Yesterday, I tried the EA using the "Every tick" method for the first time, and I find that it sometimes takes multiple trades on a bar. This seems to happen when the bar is longer ...

Hi Dave, Have you carefully examined the chart to see what trades your original engulfing candle code is taking? I've just done so and see many trades trades taken incorrectly by the EA. To illustrate this, have a look at the attached chart. The ...

Hi Dave, Another thing I found when testing the reversal candle code is that the time filter is not working. The attached image shows my settings. Activating the filter has no impact on the EAs' behavior.
