This is a great EA, happily using it for some time, so thanks a lot! I've started to experiment with BE and TS, and noticed that for some of the pairs the trade is started and then immediately stopped out, since SL for some reason is set (by the EA) at the same values as sell/buy: {image} These are the parameters I am currently using for all the pairs: Any help would be appreciated. Perhaps I've misunderstood the settings somehow? {image}
The Break Even is at 15 pips ?

Have a look at 1 minute charts to see what happened

It takes a lot for me to IGNORE you, but you can try.

Thanks, Erebus. I checked and I now realize I totally misunderstood the BE method.

Thanks - looking at the code, I'd say that the open trades started one week earlier than the number of weeks that you have the guides drawn for - would that be correct?

If so, for now, I suggest upping the number of weeks to encompass the trades you have running.

This wasn't a scenario that I'd anticipated, so will need to apply a fix for the next release.

Yes they opened last week, will up weeks to 2 now. Can EA manage current and new positions separately?

update: I increased number of weeks for those have open positions but chart doesn't show previous zones. IT does show if there is no open position.

Yes, it can handle up to around 4 separate trades on the same pair at a time.

I'm curious about how your charts look: the error you showed would mean that the EA is not running on those charts, yet you say that you see the current week's range?

I've done some testing, and although I can see how the code could end up with an error, I don't seem to be able to reproduce it. I have some trades open from last week, and have removed the EA from them and re-applied it using a variety of settings, but all of them have worked. I'll keep on trying though.

One thing: on the open trades, does it show the stop loss in the comments like "[SL155]"?

Thank you for trying, however poor quality tick data and fixed spread = bad back test.

I've seen commercial EA's being sold for hundreds showing results like these, and when put on real accounts, or tested using quality tick data, the results are always apallingly bad.

If you want 'proper' tests, you need to use 99.9% quality tick data and variable spreads.

Please see image, EA is running, number of week is on 5, it doesn't show past ranges and not current week correctly either.

Totally agreed. And even this remaining 0.1% can kill your account if you do not have an emergency chute. Sometimes one pip can decide over weal and woe...

Yeah, that's clearly not right.

Can I suggest that you close the chart and start with a fresh chart and attach the EA to it (assuming you haven't already done so)?

If you get the same, can you tell me if there are any error messages in the log/journal?

Thanks.

I noticed it happens when the "Numbers of Weeks to Display" parameter is set to a value that is beyond the available history data on the chart timeframe the EA is running on. Switching TFs and scrolling back a little fixes the issue.

I have not read the whole 100 pages of the strategy thread and i apologize in advance if it has been discussed already (and probably has).
Would it make sense to not trade during a specific week if the range of MoTu reaches a certain level of (or exceeds) the weekly average range ? (high volatility filter).

Yes, that's true, and is due to the platform running out of historic data until you wind back through the charts. Refreshing the EA once more data has loaded reloads and recalculates the guides again.
