How is this possible? SL without reaching the SL in the chart? {image}
Blame the coder. Lol that is down to spread.

when SL or TP is hit it becomes a market order. with slow server execution (esp. demo) or thinly traded... you can be surprised (positively
or negatively) by the outcome. so not only spread but also slippage.

because of possible slippage i also skip presumable high volatility news moments.

@R.,

although i hate the MT4 strategy tester, when testing a time range i do code things a little different.

you set your breakout range by start(hour/min) and end(hour/min)
which is clear and understandable

however i code it as follows:
start (hour/min)
duration(minutes(or hours))

and then in my ea i calculate the end(from start and duration)

then you can more easily run an optimize run in the strategy tester.

it is not so obvious to do it that way,and i only do it for a silly strategy tester.

so that the st does not do weird runs.


just ignore this... hate the music ... blablabla....

Slippage - good point. News isn't an issue really as the idea is trade Asian session when usually little news.

Good hint...thank you very much...
I m not satisfied with defining some parameters(->for testing in the strattester) but getting input for special cases is hard....

This is where it gets interesting and it is all about the filter. Miss M can it be done ? We know the top performers can we trade them - maybe top 5 or those in profit from previous day - every day.

Suspect there's a lot of work there for a coder but I'm ready to be impressed (again).

A human can manage the trade with skill and experience ... robo takes what you tell him on that, which is not bad. But is there a way to enhance his management abilities?

Could some sort of retrace function be coded in?

I.e after breakout candle, if the next candle retraces 50% of previous (breakout) candle close, otherwise remain in the trade until the candles close with a much smaller price movement? That way you can ride the breakout until it consolidates or retraces.

{quote} Just the opening of Frankfurt - break out of last few hours. Lem's sort of thing.
Break then back into Zone, then a big drop ! ....Would the stop be triggered on your system ( The oval shaped highlight.) ?

Been messing with the settings on Dax and hasn't taken any orders past few days. Think the stop probably would have been hit but it would have picked the drop up obviously.

I'm looking at somewhere around 30 s/l and a 50 t/p on this - could do with the return of Lem !

Will have it up and running on live from Monday. These demo accounts are fine but it's not the same and spreads are different.

The idea of automated trading is to make life easy - haven't worked so hard for years !
