EA31337 released for free

My FXOpen STP account was blown today.

Though it could be because I set trailing stop and profit to None (otherwise it would just lose 10% per day).

So the EA doesn't work there with the 1.072 eu preset.

{quote} Some stats from different brokers and account types: FXOpen STP: 38 ticks per min IronFX standard: 87 ticks per min IronFX Abs zero: 516 ticks per min IronFX STP/ECN: 478 ticks per min I don't think there is a general correlation ticks per min with performance (IronFX STP/ECN has 43% max dd) but maybe it does factor in some how. Best performance so far is IronFX abs zero (10% max dd).
With Dukascopy dataset, I had 570 ticks per minute for backtesting. Lesser tick data theoretically shouldn't make the difference, but it could be actually opposite.
There is a TickIgnoreMethod param (logic in ShouldIgnoreTick()) when it is set to a positive value (range: 0-5), it ignores certain ticks. The results should be similar, but they're not.

For example (full test results in the attachment):
Profit Total trades Profit factor Expected Payoff Drawdown $ Drawdown %
10616.63 959 1.25 11.07 6384.50 43.76 TickIgnoreMethod=0
7434.37 805 1.29 9.24 5797.92 42.78 TickIgnoreMethod=1
2688.45 584 1.12 4.60 6466.84 49.67 TickIgnoreMethod=2
2620.59 558 1.12 4.70 5892.46 42.23 TickIgnoreMethod=3

Where 0 value means all ticks, 1 - ticks on open bar, 2 - open, low and high ticks only (OHLC), 3 - one tick per bar. So higher number of ticks can produce 5 times better results for backtesting. Why is that, I'm not sure. Possibly EA can catch more opportunities/trades earlier when there are more ticks (as indicator values can be wilder), but this needs some analysis. So for further versions, it would be better to get away from relying on ticks data, but standardize the input by going towards candle analysis (HST), so the input data is more consistent and easier to optimize.

{quote}about the date time on the testing i set it to 2018.03.01-2018.05.31, but after the test, the file i get is 2018.04.12-2018.05.24....... which confuse me a bit right now...... is it possible that the broker did not allowed for a longer testing time???? {image} {file}
That means you're lack of proper data for these dates. Testing on the broker data isn't reliable, as there could be too many gaps and low-quality data. You set testing from 01.03, but your data starts from 12.04, you want to end on 31.05, but your tick data stops on 24.05, so you can't rely on this.

Hi there, i'm new to forex, just started like 3 months ago, i'm testing your EA version 1.072 today with the optimization given from this thread (EURUSD), looking good so far . I've been trying out the latest version, 1.075 but it wont trade, for hours the indicator appear but haven't been able to trade, do you know why? and my question is, is it safe to just use the version 1.072?
1.075 got fewer strategies enabled due to some optimization issues, so it trades less often compared to 1.072. You can always try re-enabling strategies which were enabled for 1.072 and see if that helps.

Based on the feedback so far, I'll need to carefully review all the changes done to the further version to make sure the logic hasn't been broken, to make sure the issue is only about the optimization.

You can lower RiskMargin param to 0.5 (0.5% per trade), alternatively RiskRatio to 0.5. Also, try to lower BoostTrendFactor param to 1.1 or 1.2. Another way, to keep the lots to the minimum, is to disable Boosting section. These changes should generate smaller lot sizes.

Yeah, Im also just holding back from going live until I have a few months worth of data. Will probably test first on a live micro.

I'm using the default settings on my multicurrency TE but reduced the riskmargin = 0.1 per pair so it trades lower lots.

Cheers!
