Dear SWINGMAN,

Glad to have your reply,... YES ,, I havethat setting CLEAR.

But the problem,.. your EA have 2 different "spectacular" result when I backtesting between "Every Tick" and "Control Point".

I am using DUKASCOPY tickdata.

Below I report to you the result :

Normally, "BOTH" method only different by very little ,.. because I am using TICKDATA.

May be as a Senior programmer, you will find the bug.

Unfortunately I have no explanation regarding the tests.

I did the same test with Spread=11 as you did. The equity curve is the same as before (with a spread of 2), only the profit is correspondingly smaller.
Probably because my data is not quite correct, my tester works in the same way as yours in the second evaluation.

I will run the evaluation for 9 pairs this month, and if it ends up with a minus value, program something else...

Wednesday's results: 3 loses: EURUSD, USDCHF, USDCAD, 1 win: GBPUSD. -2R after 54 trades.
All trades were taken on demo account, set and triggered by pending orders submitted at midnight at the beginning of the daily candle.

Hi Swing Man,

Can you check there are entry value discrepancy between EA and Indicator.
Here USDCAD entry value left corner is 1.04024 and as per EA should be 1.27138 and down in right corner already have profit 83 pt but the order still not yet open.

There will always be small differences between indicator and EA.
Only if it is worth using the EA will I invest more time to put everything in order.

Now I've found a big bug and I'm working at the stop and start +-3 hours from midnight.
With you I see USDCHF in the chart and not USDCAD as you wrote.

This is necessary because for your USDCHF the spread at 00:15 was 187 points, far over the calculated entry and WinPoints=83.
At 13:34 the spread was 10 points!

Such comments need I to make the EA better.

New Expert Advisor version "smBodySwitch EA_v3.2"

- No orders between 21:00 and 03:00
- Some bugs fixed

- The background of the charts changes for active trades (Buy/Sell).

A new script "smApplayTemplate AllCharts"
with which one can assign a template in all charts of the workspace. This is helpful to save a lot of time.
I have now started the Trade Explorer with 28 pairs, leverage 1:500. The parameter (maxTrades=7), let's see what happens.

Hi Alberto,
watch out for the capital in testing if you test several pairs!

With FxPro you have leverage 1:30.

Margin for a pair is: Margin=Lots*(100,000/30)=Lots*3,333
For 0.3 lots you need also $1,000 margin.

At leverage 1:500, Margin=Lots*200, and for 0.3 lots you need $60 margin.

In the test on EURUSD with 7 levels I used once in the year 7.5 lots.
The margin would have been $1,500, so I bet $10,000 on Trade Explorer for that reason.

My last week Thursday's results are 5 wins, 4 losses, so ended up at -1R after 63 trades. I have decided to pause testing this system with original settings on live market for now and I will try to look into the trend-following idea SwingMan mentioned earlier.

You shall never test an EA live again, until the author gives you written confirmation that the program is running error free!

I stopped the TradeExplorer because the ReverseOrder was not executed for AUDNZD and also the TrailingStop is not displayed correctly.

Now I have to find the causes.

For clarification, I have newer used your EA (only indicator). As I mentioned earlier I was trying to test if there is an edge in your system entries and exists on its own based on what your indicator showed at the begining of new daily candle. All the trades were set up via pending orders and traded on demo account (we have already discussed this couple pages back !?)

Very good, when you're done the checking, please let us know..

OK, I forgot about that. Then I'm not responsible for what you do, nor do I take part in the profits...

Dear SwingMan,

Thanks for the V 3.2 --> anyway I try to backtesting this version,...

Lets see what will happened.

Cheers,

New ExpertAdvisor version "smBodySwitch EA_v3.3"

- Some corrections and adjustments were made.

- Workspace with 28 pairs and 2 dummys.

Right now there are three pending orders activated. This is only done near the entry levels so that one does not send 28 pending orders at once, and many are not activated later.

It's the default settings because I load the EA directly and don't want to make any changes.
Later when I do any tests I might make adjustments for certain pairs.

So far have found in the tester that the default values are satisfactory.
