Hi, I can´t get the offline chart generation to work, neither with vHands nor with similar period_converter indicator. Reason: Error code 4059 "Function is not allowed in testing mode" when calling "FileOpenHistory". Is this is a restriction which ...

Long USDJPY. EB on H1 barely above 50 MA though

Took the same bar, but in GBPUSD, looks similar. After the fact, AUDUSD looked better. edit: stopped out

Thanks for the great explanation. I thought I could take it as the EB is also almost a T2 entry at the same time. Definitely have to watch out more for trading ranges.

EURUSD H1 — Any reason not to take this EB ? Took this for a loss.

I have no doubt that this strategy performs very well when used as you described. However the entry for itself seems no better than random, according to the above figures. Not surprising IMO as PA alone doesn't mean much. So I guess it does not make ...

Please forgive my ignorance but I would think 50% with 1/1 RR is coin flipping.

Easy to say after the fact but I would not take such trades looking scooped up like this.

how to save scale fix — Anybody knows why the scale fix setting is not saved in the template ? All other options of the chart settings are saved correctly. Right now I have to check it again and again when loading my template. Here is how to ...

chatlog — Can anybody provide the chatlog of today ? Mine was nearly empty after a reconnect. Really good advices in there.

News time, be careful.

kk: I think you need 2 bars for a touch, even on H4. I am new here, so maybe I missed something.

Statement — Attached backtest result for EURUSD The backtest is really slow, so I applied it only on last and this month for now. Looks not bad..

This only explains why there is a difference between backtests and forward tests. Forward testing uses tickdata so it should allow a valid statement. Potential difference between demo tickdata and live tickdata is another problem though, although I ...

Not sure what you mean here. I would assume that you always get slightly different results with different currencies because the EAs action is triggered on each tick which arrives and different currencies mean different points of time when ticks ...

Cant confirm that there is NO spread. The buys in the statement are always higher than the bid on the chart, so there is at least a fiixed default spread which is of course not correct but this seems to be the case in MT4 as well.

Backtest with MT5 — Hi, I wanted to be able to do some backtests over a longer period of time without having to wait for months to get results so I converted one of the EAs (AddSix_01x) to MT5. If anyone is interested here it is. Results do ...
