when will you buy and sell?

when you buy beginning the week, 21 gmt, then you have so much win inside your strategy that is not there in real trading, because of the big spread at 21 gmt for some minutes. i hope you use ask/bid prices, or your results wil get negative in live trading, because you get in all buy trades much much cheaper then it would be possible in reality. same for closing, when you close the trade at 21 gmt around the bigg spreads, then you will have extra wins with sell trades that are not there in reality.

maybe you can put in a 3-5 pip spread in this time. or a 2-3 pip spread when you trade some minutes later. what spread do you use for your backtest or lotsizes? when very high lots maybe you have many wrong profits inside.

You can close it some minutes early or some minutes after 21:00gmt, I just use that time as a reference so people know when is a new daily candle forming.

but what time you use in your backtest and what spread? so we know its is calculated ok or with bigger differences against real trading inside.

Nice! The Max DD% is the most important thing to me and what many other retail traders don't pay attention to then blow up 50 accounts in a row...

I also like the profitability! Is it safe to use on a LIVE account, I'd like to try it out for you to help with its developement.

Thanks, feel free to PM me.
Have a nice day!

Your risk coding in the EA isnt right, it doesnt change the lot size according to the risk.

Lot size and stop loss has to be a different numer than 0.

Got it, just need the sl to be bigger than zero to get the risk to work. Thanks

, algo, please give me, any kind of strategy that can survive 31 year of testing without drawdown or keep climbing. Right now, im making money only by using just 1 year duration of backtest, and change it once in a year based on latest year.

Nice share cocolizo .

Cocolizo67 , thanks for the EA, Here is my Testing from 2010 to Date (20072017) using $500 and 0.02 (10pips =2$) . The result looks impressive with the relatively low DD . @cocolizo67 I see in your own backtest the lot keeps increasing with balance, The Ea doesnt have that that feature. Can you kindly update the EA(if you also dont mind sharing the source code).
