{quote} the version v3.9.6.09 in Post#1 will trade XAUUSD. you need to check your account type with your broker and if it allows to trade small lot size 0.01 lot. some brokers accounts only allow minimum 1.0 lot size.

Thank you very much. This will be really helpful.

Hello everyone,

I backtested my brokers MT4 over 1 month and the modeling quality was below 80% so I asked for my broker to send me 6 months of 5M data which I imported into MT4 History center. I can see all the data there without any skips or connection between dates. The problem is that when I backtest for 6 month it will no longer open any position until the backtest reaches the same time frame before I imported the data and it will start trading again. Can anyone please tell me what i did wrong?

I have attached the Journal error I got here. I am only backtesting 5M and the broker has only given me 1M, 5M data which I imported. Could this be the reason? Do I need to import all timeframe? 15M, 30M, 1H, 4H, 1D, 1W, 1Month?

Many thanks

To solve the problem, I suggest you to import all TFs from your broker and not only M5, otherwise MT4 strategytester fails trying to match volume on higher timeframes, for example H1 candle, with that one resulting adding up the volume reported by all 5m candles: if values don't match, the tester reports the discrepancy.
Otherwise, you can use the period_converter script that comes with MT4 to programmatically maintain volume sums match from different timeframes.

Hi,

Its possible to add option so currency pairs can be assigned to groups( Eg. group currency pairs by their base currencies) then have option to limit the amount of pairs that can be traded in a group at one time.

This would stop the EA over trading and also limit the exposure to adverse moves in base currency.


Thanks

Thank you very much Paolino, I have already informed my broker for all timeframe data.

Hi, Its possible to add option so currency pairs can be assigned to groups
First I thought this would be a great idea... then I stopped and thought of the different set-files I am using for each single pair and timeframe.
Using a list of pairs would challenge us to figure out set-files that work on one timeframe and ALL pairs.

Anyway it might be a good idea. Maybe like a dashboard, similar to the GVC/ASM (aeseme) dashboards?

Yes. I am beginning to like the idea. Instead of doing a fine tuning for each pair, a general setting for all should be found. With a "basket" close take profits could be made, a basket stop loss could protect us from losses.

I started last night to clean the Blessing-EA from code that in my opinion will not be used in a "multipair-version". This is, please correct me and add ideas:

1. all graphical output on the chart
2. all code and variables related to the hedge functions. We will perform "hedging" by using multipairs ;-)
3. using a fixed magic number. In this way, the orders can be easily minitored and controlled via one of the GVC/ASM dashboards

In a second step, most variables in the start function need to be put into structs as they will be addressed by array-indexes.

That's it for the beginning. Any more, better ideas?

Oh, one more important thing: to keep this thread clean, what do you think of opening a new thread? Something like "Blessing EA for multipairs", or whatever?

Have a great new year's eve @all and don't drink too much...

********corrected:*********
holiday check is not within the start function, it is located in the init function. Therefore can remain there...
*************************

********corrected2:*********
holiday check has a big init part within the init-function. Additionally in the start function there is a huge portion of code for checking the holiday condition

Back to the "normal" version 3 v3.9.6.13 beta:

looks like it does not enter into the real hedge function. It makes no difference whether the UseHedge is true or false. In the original version 09 it works. Did not figure out yet, what might be the reason. I am at the moment trying to understand how the variables within the start function behave.

Hello Paolino,

I have imported all history data on all timeframes going back to 5 years minimum. But when I choose 6 months backtest, let's say June 2019 it will still start from the end of November backtest? Any idea why?

I also did a quick backtest for the current month of December for few days only and it gave me a 25% modeling quality?

Many thanks if anyone can help.

Hey team, thought I'd weigh in with a simple solution for the data arguments.

For anyone facing data issues, follow this simple process.

1. download attached indicator "Force Download Historical Data.ex4" (alternatively find it for free in the marketplace here)

2. open MT4, and select file->Open Data Folder, and copy the indicator into your indicators folder

3. go to "history" folder and you should see a folder named after your server (I recommend being logged into a live account, not demo here, as some brokers serve different data to demo accounts)

4. (close MT4 before this step) open the folder of your server name, and delete all .hst files. there will be some other files like .sel files here, don't delete those!

5. open MT4, open the Market Watch and open a chart for the first currency pair in this list. Attach the indicator to the chart. Close the box that pops up by clicking OK.

This indicator will now sit and manually download all data, for all timeframes, for all currency pairs you have in your market watch. Leave it for 30 minutes, and it will populate your data correctly for backtesting. It will automatically change the chart to new time frames, and new currency pairs when it completes the one it is on.

You're welcome!

Hi Guys, i am using blessing EA (3.9.6.09) on MT4 broker FX choice. The EA works fine using standard money but when changing the account (live or demo) to etherum or the broker conversion equivalent currency which is SZA the EA stops trading. I have tried the EA on live account and demo for standard money (ie: GBP) and it works fine, when moving to (etherum/SZA) it stops. Does anyone have a fix for this or any clue as to why this is happening?

In my experience if you're using #EnableOncePerBar you don't need to care about 'modeling quality'. EOPB causes Blessing to filter out ticks and only open trades on each bar. This also means you don't need data for other timeframes. Works for me, anyway.

EOPB provides an enormous speedup for backtesting. And it's supported by MT4 natively as the Open prices only model. It's a big win with no downside that I've experienced. Testing between EOPB and Every tick shows only pennies difference over months or years.

Hello everyone,

I am forward testing Richards set files he uploaded earlier. I am not a coder and I have been playing with all the settings for 3 days and still unable to find where I can change the setting so it can widen the entries. I have attached an example, and as you can see most of the set files on all pairs opens orders very closely (about 4 trades). When the direction is wrong it will hold until it comes down to profit.

I would like to know where I can change the setting so I can spread out the entries so it can close out all when it comes down quicker. I fully understand this might change many other results but I would like to test it. Knowing where to change at least I can understand what it is doing.

Many thanks.

Hi,

Is there anyway to improve on the trade recovery grid. I find it doesn't place out the recovery trades very well, a fair distance between them.

Like in this example where it place a trade on 0.02 then tried to recovery it but placed the recovery trades to close together which is increasing the DD.
