{quote} if all you did was change from 0.01 to 1 and then back tested . i am not surprised you had disaster. if close all profit is $ 15 on 0.01 and close all loss is $65 on 0.01 then if you are changing the lot you would have to change the figures in proportion to the lot you change to. So in this example changing to 0.1 lot close alll profit would become $150 close all loss would become $ 650 and in your case changing lot on 1 close all profit would have to become $1500 close all loss $ 6500. Hope this clears the understanding on your unfortunate...
ok my friend. i will change the values of profit/loss according to lot size..... did not consider that.....will forword test on demo for 1 month wit 1 lot.

{quote} You asked does EA open position after the candle closed. It opens after candle closed. But using pending order. Here is an EA totally bare bones. No spice that does exactly to the tee what you have asked. It opens after candle closed but does not use pendings.{file} The EA uses last candle Low and High as Tp and SL. There is a place for putting Tp and Sl. See screenshot below{image} If you leave the Tp and Sl as zero it will place the candle low and high as tp and sl. when you do input sl and tp it will add those pips to the candle high...
pls add min and max last candle size for entry filter for next year update..

this month FT i will not use any GBP pair because sometime there is a lot of big candle...

btw, i got this error message when doing BT with the barebone/nospice one..

Hi candyman.

DaPriAk_V1.mq4 has bad results on EURUSD D1 and H1 with the default setup.
Do you have a profitable set file?

Unfortunately i do not have one. The default did well on AudUsd. The EA draws trend lines draws swing highs and lows and tries to trade from those. The inputs to play around with Profit to close and loss to close

Hey dude. You are one amazing coder. - Thanks for your work.

However I did run into a problem, where I somehow can't backtest any of your EAs. Do you know why this could be?

The EA is called major because it is mainly for USD pairs.
While i was coding the EA DaPriAk, daily Price Aktion EA, I found a way of determining swing high and swing low.
As you you know trends are determined by the making of swing highs and lows. When the market makes a swing high or low,
that area becomes a very important place for price action. As retail traders we wait for the banks to take price to those area and then look for the trigger they make for us to trade.
Here is how i determined a swing High
I take the highest high in the past 5 candles and subtract the lowest low in the past 5 candles.
The candle with the lowest low must be after the candle with the highest high. EG
Highest high was 4 candles ago lowest low must be less than 4 candles ago.
The difference between the high high and lowest low should be greater than 100 pips.
That is all. Vice versa for a swing low.

thanks for the compliment.
You need to post screenshots of your strategy tester. Especially the journal and also have to check if the enable EA is on

happy new year to all of you! candy, you had done so many amazing here! you are deserve to a long holiday!
can you imagine i spent the supposed holiday working on the DaPriAk EA. Man I was hoping it would be aan excellent EA as I had drawing trends and swing high and lows but it turned out whack. Any way from that job I learnt how to spot a swing .Thanks for all your encouragement. Bar 3 swinger seems to have some good potential.

The bot rat race has begun.
I have created new Trade Explorers. Swing 3 Bar ( the best performing bot which survived this mornings flash crashes ) is now Bar 3 Swinger.
It will compete with major 1.
Then also did modification to Bar 3 swinger which i have called test Bar 3. I want to compare if the modification makes an improvement on the bot.
Hope fully we can have an EA that goes live.
