Disliked{quote} That's a strange error. I never have any problems with getting my orders placed by the broker. I can't say what's going on here. I will add some code to make the error message more informative. Maybe we can say more after that. PS: Did you try it with version 20 as well?Ignored

LRSF EA V1.21
In post #1 you can now find the first WIP version of V1.21.
This version does a new trick... after a proper TMS signal it will not immediately open a new order, but it will wait for the price to retrace. A new order will then only be opened near the EMA5. This leads to a much better starting position for the order (at least that's what we hope
).
In the screenshot you can see the GBPCAD trade. After 30 pips the first halve was closed and the rest was left to run. I use a MA that is based on the close price of the last 5 bars (runs parallel to the TMS5). After a TMS signal is detected the EA will wait for the price to cross this additional MA before actually opening the order.
Before putting this in the LRSF EA I tried to do this manually but the spikes down are often really fast and I usually miss them because I am not full time behind the computer. Lucky for us, an EA is always watching. The first test results look very promising.
Cheers...

{quote} hi, this error on backtesting {image}
This is the code for calculating the ATR...
Inserted Code
double cl_atr_basis::value(
const string isym, // Symbol
const ENUM_TIMEFRAMES itf, // Timeframe
const int iper, // Period
const int ishift=0 // Bar shift
) const {
return iATR(isym, itf, iper, ishift);
} Inserted Code
// Average True Range
// Initial value for the Average Daily Range. We use this to find key
// values for setting SL and TP.
double lv_adr100 = atr.value(lv_sym_symbol, PERIOD_D1, 100, 0);
if (lv_adr100 < gSymbol.get_point()) {
Comment("ERROR: ADR(100) can not be initialised !!");
return(INIT_FAILED);
}
gADR100 = NormalizeDouble(val2pips(lv_adr100), 0); - In the Strategy-Tester try filling a date-range for parameter "Usar Fecha". Without such a range it may start looking for history data in 1970 (and that is probably not present).
- Please check if you can add your ATR indicator to any chart at all.
- If this works try to switch that chart to D1 timeframe and 100 periods. See if it looks ok. Post a picture if you are not sure.
- In MT4 History Center [F2] try to download more history on all timeframes for the chosen currency pair.
That is all that I can think of.
Cheers...

hey jansb000 thanks for your reply. in the end I tried it on another brokers demo which i think had more history loaded. one question, the new feature of waiting for a retrace before opening near the 5ema. Does this need a specific entry method or will it work with all 4 entry methods? thanks, blam {quote}
