Most programming languages cannot access a variable by its name declared in the source code. This feature is usual for interpreted languages, however it is rare for the compiled ones.

You are testing with spread 2, while I expect it should be 100-200, and it is quite reasonable to add another 100 for open/close slippage, if it is not already simulated. Looking at the expected payoff, you may end in negative numbers.

I am curious, what trading system you used in this post. Did you open the short and long concurrently for some reason?

I have it similar, MT4 with range bars running on my home laptop rather than VPS, and free Chrome Remote Desktop app running on Android. In addition, I have alarms set on levels of interest in the laptop MT4, and receiving the push notifications if ...

Actually the psychology takes the role if you lack a profitable system.

OK, thank you, really interesting method. Are you sure it works for you?

Is there any chance to backtest the EAs? I mean avoiding the annoying non-gap message with init failed.

I noticed you have been advocating the above chart type for many years. Could you show us some trading results taken on those charts? As I can hardly believe somebody can trade such a mess in a live market.

Not sure, it might be the Renko generator restriction. I have double dots in the symbol names, too, but I do not encounter such problem myself. So, try another generator.

I do not have problem with referring the offline chart. I have problem with your statement of referring the closed ones. None of the above functions is giving me a valid value when I close the referenced offline charts. When I re-open them, ...

I am afraid the article is about a quite different topic - it is all about testing in the Strategy Tester.

I never succeeded to read data from a closed live Renko chart, neither directly nor using iCustom. Are you sure about that? And if so, would you mind to leave an example?

Ok, no problem. I do not know those generators, but I am not quite sure about how they are precise on backtest. I would stay with the Duikascopy tick-based testing, it gives me results quite close to the live trading (though the Renko chart may ...

That is basically what I did, except the generating Renko during the backtest directly from the above generator (no idea how to achieve such thing). Below is the type of result I am getting from backtest (ERUUSD 7 pip, spread 1.2, from the start of ...

I was trying to replicate your published EA test results, as the result graph looked very promising, but I did not achieve any profitable test run. Might I ask you for complete settings used in your test, inc. brick size, symbol and time interval?

Just two notes: It keeps unlocking the dragging chart when the cursor is outside the panel, so other panels unintentionally drag the chart. On exit it disables the mouse event, so other panels on the chart (from indicators) turn inactive and cannot ...

After going fulltime, I felt rather like turning into a socially disabled person than a sociopat. I am reading forums like this only to have an illusion of 'colleagues'.

Yes, they are quite ordinary M1 charts, though the 4-digit chart is rather rare nowadays. The 1- or 2-pip candles seem too much uniform to those who have never seen them.

Do not be too optimistic. The cTrader was developed and introduced by a broker, which was using those "unbelievable" features very intensively (my private statistics focused on virtual dealer plugin, from live FxPro trading 2010-2012). I doubt they ...

Absolutely, I would not buy anything without a try-out. This one can be run for free, in such case it cuts short the generated chart. I am happy with it myself, though I can imagine it could be better documented. If you watch the tester visual chart ...
