Finally someone who writes the right things. Most people in this forum have not understood that 99% of the time it is not even put on the market, regardless of whether the broker is ECN or not. Imagine if banks need their stoploss, in the CFD market ...

If the schedule and dividend distribution has remained the same for a few years, I can easily create the expert advisor and do a backtest and get all these statistics and share them with the forum, for manual trading. The gap not present in the ...

it would be better to rewrite the indicator for metatrader4

The strategy is very interesting and I already use IG, are dividends also paid with options? Thanks for the share!

If I can give you a suggestion since I have already experimented with the strategy you are using, I would use an atr value instead of pips. For example, if the candle exceeds atr 14 periods x 2 ( just an example) in this way the values will always ...

Interesting concepts. I trade using averaging and I am an mql4 programmer. If you use this concept on pairs that tend to be mean reversion, it works even better. The idea of using swap in favor is very good, I want to experiment too. Some time ago I ...

thanks, I'm an mql4 programmer and it can definitely be useful to me. Good job.

The backtest should be done on tick and with data at 99%, furthermore it seems without stoploss or with grid. The peaks in equity and then back down to breakeven or little profit are generally for this reason.

The MODE_TRADES it's the default mode. From the mql4 reference : pool=MODE_TRADES [in] Optional order pool index. Used when the selected parameter is SELECT_BY_POS. It can be any of the following values: MODE_TRADES (default)- order selected from ...

Ok, instead I rely only on the backtests done on dukascopy data. Then test in demo/real on the broker's data.

Can I ask why you coded the Dashboard to have a backtest instead of doing the backtest directly? I'm curious, I'm also an MQL4 programmer

This code does not compile. There is an error in the last if, you didn't use ; in the end. Since you're learning, I recommend that you use proper formatting to make your code more readable. I have reviewed and this way it seems to me that it should ...

Ok no problem, // input variables int mnBUY=10; // Magic Number for BUY Trades int mnSEL=20; // Magic Number for SELL Trades datetime bOpTm=0, sOpTm=0; double bOpPx=0, sOpPx=0; for(int i=OrdersTotal()-1; i>=0; i--) { if(OrderSelect(i,SELECT_BY_POS) ...

The assignment of the i makes no sense as it is the variable that contains the total number of orders.As you have already done previously that's fine, you just have to enter the control of the magic Number together with that of the symbol. If ...

Yes

I have my own profitable strategies, it seems sensible to me not to code anything if don't have a backtest, if nobody has it or isn't interested it's not a problem.. i don't need exercise , thanks, i'm good at programming.

Very interesting post, thanks.

I would like more content like this in this forum, congratulations. I am a systematic trader and have created several grid / martingale bots, I want to try to introduce this formula. Will show the differences in the backtest if you are interested!

They are the exact same rules, do you realize that a few days of scalping means nothing? That's a 10 fucking year backtest. If I now look at the chart and trade randomly, I could ess be in profit for 10 days just by LUCK. In this forum really lack ...
