{quote} I'm talking about trading real time, not backtesting. Model selection when trading have no impact.
I select my 'model' from within the EA code, by filtering out the ticks both in testing and in real time trading.

One percent difference.

Yes, I know it's not intuitive. Many things in trading are not. It's reality. It works. It makes money.

Yes, there are many people still out there that swear by tick data. The biggest advocates are the ones that sell tick data!

Many others have switched or are switching. With proper coding there is very little difference between tick data and Open prices only.

1%

Not enough of a difference to worry about.

There IS a difference between tick data and your broker's data. Much larger than 1%!

I agree it's possible to built strategies based on close or open data only. There are many popular based on daily open or close, especially in futures. But id depends on type of strategy.

Don't you get big "slippages" ? Blessing grid, BE, MAxDD% wouldn't be exact like in settings. Higher time frame, bigger difference from setting point.

I agree, there must be strategies that Open price only doesn't serve well. I haven't found them.

I've written at least 15 EAs in the last year or so and none of them have shown any negative effects from using OPO and filtering out ticks. Granted, they've mostly been based on traditional indicators which are all based on bars.

I've not seen any difference between time-frames that you might expect. Hourly and five minute work fine.

Faster testing allows me to build a lot more setups. I've got more than 100 setups incubating on demo.

If I recall correctly, I remember one of the old blessings had some kind of semi manual mode. Which means the user opens it's 1st or the initial trade (1st grid) and then blessing takes over the trade and places 2nd 3rd according to it. Does this version have this mode? Because I can't remember how to activate it. I have different approaches when it comes to trends. Can't rely on macd and ma.

Yes.
You can trade blessing3 manually. You need to input the magic number in the setting, set the buy or sell parameter. Then openyour first trade using a script with your own magic number. blessings3 will manage your trades using your input magic number. But note that blessing3 can only average down when price retraces against your trade direction. You need to set the take profit and stop loss in the parameter, the number of average down positions and blessing3 will manage the average price and stop loss.
If you want to average up, more manual input work is necesssary but better do it one separate chart (same currency pair) with different magic number.

Experience tells me not to use any of the indicator input that is available in blessing3. You decide on the swing direction and initiate the buy or sell.

Hi,

here is one which I many years ago from the jta forum.

it allows you to place market orders, limit and stop orders in the input and the magic number of your choice.

I have done quite many customizations for other traders in the last 10 years for manual trading with blessing3.

Hint:

when you trade with blessing3 manually, you do not use any of the indicators for trade decision.

you decide on the market type conditions to trade BUY or SELL direction and follow the Tripe Screen System for Trend determination.
trade the Dominant Trend (Weekly), follow the Secondary Trend(Daily) make use of the retracements (H4) to build positions with blessings3.
always be careful with the volatility of the currency pairs and adapt the grid size using the ADR and do not use the default.

use Money Management and manage your risk.

Hello. I'm new to this forum and this particular EA.
Have used the .set files provided by CDSSA
on the EURUSD, H1

It's been sitting there for 12 hours now.
Not a single trade.

Is this a normal behavior?
Is it supposed to trade this little?

Why marijuana is legal in states? Anyone else using Richard's set files live/demo or just me??? Richard are you yourself using them? I'm still wondering why my results were better than Richard and others . same MT4, same set files but yup patterns were different. Will start testing again next month probably.... But live results are good for gbp pairs.

But it doesnt have Magic Number. Do you have script code. We can use same Magic number to be input as variable.

that is a very old script compiled using MT4 Build 509. I am not sure if it can be compiled error free with current Build 1170. Let me check this later.

I customised my B3 with my own magic number hard coded pre-set for the currency pairs I trade otherwise B3 will randomly generate the magic number when loaded onto the chart.

One of the problems with optimizing and using EAs is that trades take time. They can take from a few minutes to a few days.

When you optimize an EA you find repeating patterns in the market. When you then start it trading on another account at some random future time you hope it will lock on to the same repeating patterns. But what happens if it starts in the middle of the pattern and what looks like a good entry comes along? When you start out of sync things don't always work as well as you expect.

Next time you use Strategy Tester try moving your start date ahead one day at a time and see what it does to your results.

That's just one of many possible explanations for your success. Sadly, reducing MaxDDPercent can make this sensitivity worse.

Starting EAs at the beginning of the week might help. And not trading over the weekend. That would make it easier to get in sync.

the error is when your use MT4 build 1170.

here is the compiled version, ... but you don't need any indicator when you run b3. you decide on the buy / sell direction of the timeframe you want to trade.

Forex is a money machine. Just start your EA and money pours out!

12 hours? Some EAs do one trade per week, or less. Most EAs do less than one trade per day.

Did you test it in Strategy Tester to find out how it should behave?

Not sure what other indicators are added on this. I tried, it is same MA, Stoc, CCi

You can still use them in original
