If you are using month opt, open up the optimized settings folder. Look at the first 3 numbers in each line, the first number is the month of year 0 = january, the second is the day of the week and the third is the block of day. So that means if it ...

You need to read the "Optimized Settings" excel file that is created after you optimize. That is where you will find how often it can trade with your settings. Also, if you downloaded any ticks from the history center, your data is false, and it ...

In order to backtest you must first optimize then copy the "optimized settings" from mt4-experts-files to mt4-tester-files and turn "reopt" off when testing. If you read the optimized settings file you will notice it files by month of year, day of ...

Yes it can be profitable and absolutely worth your time. The ability to self optimize is golden and should be included with any EA you code. RR is brilliant for creating it. As for my mods, I encourage you to reverse engineer the code. That is the ...

This is an amazing piece of code because it works with statistics. If you know anything about quantum mechanical math, statistics rules probability. But in my honest opinion, even after I broke down the optimization to file the stats into block ...

I haven't been on in a long time. When I was working on this I heavily modified the code. I am focused on another project now so I am donating it. Bear in mind that this was a personal version so you may find some bugs, but here is the version I ...

I agree that optimizing off a D1 chart may be difficult. The problem is that its hard to look back far enough to generate quality statistics. Breaking down the last ten years and filing the data into days wouldn't be enough information to find ...
