It's always good to learn whatever you can to minimize problems and maximize your ability to take advantage of good situations when they arise. An easier place to find the minimum lot size is on the Blessing chart with Debug set to true. Works with ...

In the Settings tab for MT5, click on the gold dollar sign ($) and check Minimal volume. This seems to vary widely among brokers for non-Forex instruments, often larger than 0.01. Adjust your set file accordingly. Good luck.

Could you tell me how to live a long and prosperous life? Might take a book or two. Read the manuals. Read the whole discussion list here. :-) Test, test, test. Practice. Learn. Read. Learn some more. Could someone please give me a million dollars? ...

Thanks for the continued interesting work. Most appreciated. This will take some time to digest. Somewhat along these lines I've been leaning towards giving ADX a try. I've seen several successful EAs based on it. Adding it to the Blessing mix seems ...

Two levels. The intent was to create a setup with the largest audience. This will work on a small account and equally well on larger accounts by increasing Lots. It will also work well as part of a portfolio of multiple pairs which is probably the ...

UseSetLots overrides MaxTrades.

Here's one for EURUSD, no stops, shorts only, 5 months history, 2 levels set to 0.01, 0.01. 180 trades, all winners. Set Lots to anything you want to suit your account. image file file

Okay, the equity curve looks great ... a nice ramp upward. But did you really mean to have MaxTrades set to 50?

Okay, so suggesting people look at the code to find answers was a really bad idea. I guess I forgot what a mess the code is, especially to non-coders. Sorry about that. Here's what the manual says: Blessing also has a normal trailing stop feature. ...

Here's an excerpt from the code: Even if you're not a programmer you can search the .mq4/.mq5 files for variable names and potentially find useful comments. Comments are usually found at the end of a line of code, starting with a pair of forward ...

You go into the code and fix the silly error! Or wait for me to post the fixed version. Sorry about that, dumb mistake ... Fixed: file

For those just finding their way around optimizing Blessing ... If you're not getting a smooth equity curve then try each of the indicators (RSI, BBands, Stochastic, MACD, Ichimoku) by itself to see which one does the best job with your target pair. ...

Patience is always helpful. Blessing will show you the current spread if you enable Debug. Good luck.

Finally, number 27. Still lots more to do, but this one includes the RSI entry as mentioned recently and contributed by roa. It's a substantial improvement. The new primary entry. file The .mq4 and .mq5 files are identical. I've only done ...

Blessing is very adjustable. Choose your starting balance then configure and test her accordingly. Good luck!

Thanks for the kind words, roa. There have been many contributions to Blessing, including yours. Thank you. I'll post my most recent mashup shortly. I've included your StdDev and RSI with a little clean up. Please be aware that the most recent ...

RSI and StdDev are working pretty well in my testing. They seem to dovetail well with the other indicators. So far I'm optimizing for CCI and Bollinger Bands together, first. Then I optimize each of the other indicators on top of that, adding to the ...

Thanks for your contribution. I've been thinking about adding RSI to the list of entries. I'll take a closer look shortly. Thanks very much.

Saying they are DIFFERENT means nothing. Is it a fly or an elephant? Your comments aren't helpful. Provide more data, please. But first, examine everything and make sure you don't have other problems/issues at play. Restart, reboot, etc. Thank you.

Re-optimize. I'm having very good results lately with M1, XAGUSD and just Bollinger bands and Stochastics. M1 seems to work best, though a little slower to optimize. Since most of the indicator timeframes are adjustable there's no need to set the ...
