Sat all day with the square root of sweet FA and then bagged +26.5 in amongst this chaos, lol...
Each trade lasted what seemed like barely a nano-second, so no screen shots here, I'm afraid.

trading is like dancing, don't think and just listen to the music!

{quote} Trading hours should always be set to after the range end time. If you don’t, the EA will reset at midnight and start taking trades based on the range that was established yesterday. so if your range ends at 7:59am, the trading start time should be set to 8am. If you try that, it will work. it will still miss trades where price gaps as price has to physically travel across the established lines for a trade to be taken. If it skips the line, no trade will happen. I’m sure this can be amended by any competent coder if required. So for clarity,...
My latest backtest for 01.01.21-today over FTSE with the EA but still not sure if it actually took the right trades for the NTBB.

So for clarity, in your case here, the start time should be 10am, because your range ends at 9:59.
I still believe it is placing the wrong trades.
For the Dukascopy data it looks 10.000 points equals to a 10 Pips here.
However if i then use a trade size of 100.00 lots with "Use Stop Loss Limit: 10000", "Use Take Profit Limit: 20000", "Use Trail Stop: false", "Trail Start in Profit: 0 (off)"
Then i get results like:
Then i use all the same but change "Trail Start in Profit: 10000", "Trail Stop in Profit: 5000", "Trail Step in Profit: 5000"
Then i get results like:
The same order size of 100 lots for a 20 Pips distance is then suddenly a profit worth 17.76 instead 2115.08.
Maybe you could share a set file that is trading the NTBB on FTSE for Claudia's criteria which is as i understand SL=10 Pips, TP=20 Pips. Taking the first break of the range. I think taking the second, third opposite break including any kind of martin gale technique like increasing trade size after a fail or similar doesn't seem to be possible with that EA.
Maybe it also just doesn´t work with the Dukascopy data i am trying to test or there are other settings in the Strategy Tester i am having wrong, i am very new to this.
thanks in advance for your kind help and good weekend to you and all others.
