I do have Tick Data Suite...and while I am live testing..I'm also using it to backtest different settings, but not in the usual troll ass EA user way..in a way that is weighted in every realistic way against me..example...settling slippage in TDS to not be 50/50 favorable against unfavorable..but 10% chance of favorable slip vs 90% unfavorable..among many other things.
I have been using EAs for many years, even designed some of my own,, for my experience, don't rely on any ea completely, the best way to do is to use ea to help your trades , not replace your human management....

I understand what you're saying..but for my trading..my chart is blank outside of maybe a fib or 2 depending on time frame..so any EA's that use any indicators I don't believe will ever help me confirm my trades..the ONLY reason why I'm interested in using this EA on a different account that my primary is so I can use a VPS and let it ride, while seeing consistent, strong, monthly/yearly profit. I have no use for an EA if I have to use my trades as confirmation to it, or it to confirm my trades..does that make sense? Not to mention, by the time this EA was able to confirm my trades, visa versa..on average..its already entered and exited before I get a glance.

I let my ea run 24/5, it is convenient and blessing it makes money while I sleep.. the bad part is that ea doesn't know when to stop when it should, .. for my experience.. for example, yesterday.. 2080 is close to Gators pong.. also extremely long hours run on the up trend..I have to manually stop ea.. otherwise it keeps buying because the buy conditions are met.... my point is. there is no ea that can take care of all sorts of situations.. .. ea+human management is a must..

{quote} it needs the -2045 close.. better -2001... the high is 2080... makes pong 1920 ish.. 104 below is 1816 norm retrace.
the day closed below 2045, tf's above day have a higher closes. the day low was rejected off 2001 yr support. its still against trend, that why i have only a small short.. i look to long 18xx.. but getting there is against the trend.. the lower day close leads me to think 2001 will get another test. on the other hand it did act as support. i see it still as supper bullish.. but a some candle retrace is normal... the year candle is large..

maybe add adr.. at 2080 yest adr was spent. your bot could have stopped trading longs 2060 or so.. maybe a set stop trading setting when 20ish away from adr. and focus more on bounce.

on the long side, the same thing with shorts toward 1995.. todays number on your adr. maybe switch to looking to long close to adr..

that is a good thought... i do have another ea using adr for TP and SL...but the way to do is..it usually how others do.. .. when the price is triggered, then use x adr for TP and xx adr for SL.. it only starts count adr from the triggered price not each daily value...

blessing as a term of appreciation to you boulder or actual blessing bot? also, Algotradesoft uses very custom adr settings, which oddly come disable as a standard..but i find completely necessary to have a chance at withstanding changes in the market over middle/long term
