{quote} 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.
Dear SwingMan,

DEFAULT setting means "maxim Trades = 10 ", "Reference_Account = Account Specified" ,

or you change to other setting ?

Thanks,

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. {file} {file} {image}
Very good job. When I wakeup morning all orders were on please. No need any more to wait until midnight.

I am not changing anything at this time.

If you test and find better settings, let us know.

- The "maxTrades" limit the levels of the martingale, and hopefully the margin will be valid at this broker.
- The "Reference_Account" is intended for the calculation of the initial lots, which can be increased a lot in martingale.

I'm glad because you can now earn many thousands of money while you sleep.
(I do that too...)
The account in TradeExplorer was heavily used by the trades on NZDCHF because all CHF pairs have leverage 1:33 instead of 1:500 like all others, and the margin was no longer sufficient.

So I had to remove these pairs from the workspace: AUDCHF, CADCHF, CHFJPY, EURCHF, GBPCHF, NZDCHF, UJSDCHF.

A new account has been created and will be connected to TradeExplorer.
Excellent job today until now. On my real account.

Thanks a lot once again SwingMan.
I was trying to optimize those 3 factors (Entry, Take Profit, Stop Loss) for GBPUSD.

One error in the tester journal shows this:

Just report back, and maybe need to be checked.
Thank you SwingMan.

I was trying to optimize those 3 factors (Entry, Take Profit, Stop Loss) for GBPUSD...
Thanks @kitpu for your analysis!

Generally speaking, there are very interesting conclusions:

- The entry can be close to the previous high/low of the body (0.1).

- The TakeProfit factor remains quite small (0.30).

- The StopLoss factor is twice the TakeProfit factor (0.60), and this corresponds to many recommendations for a ratio (1:2 Win/Loss).
Many recommend a ratio (2:1 win/loss) but we have to blindly follow @kitpu's proof!

It's ok, congratulations, but please delete all CHF pairs if you have leverage of 1:500.

I also backtest the same parameter with Entry 0.1/TP 0.3/ SL 0.6 for GBPUSD but using H4 instead of D1. Just to get a sense how the other time frame performs.
I got slightly better performance in terms of profit, as attached.

Some OrderSend Error 3 and 130 are still presented in the journal, FYI.

Attached Image

error code 130 seems to be invalid stops
error code 3 is probably invalid trade parameters, don't know what those are

Appreciate SwingMan for the efforts.
I will test out these parameters for the rest of the pairs and instruments and check back later.

Here is a temporary version 3.4.0
Please test the days near the error messages, maybe it will get better.
If you post, please include the lines before the messages, maybe I can find the cause faster.

I believe the errors are caused by the spread.

Here's a small change, test if it helps.

Until the errors are fixed, please only test from January 2022 so that I can also have M5 prices.
Write the broker and the setting as well, because I have completely different test results for Pepperstone and Valutrades.

There are no TF's.
Everything is calculated for D1 even if the chart is H4, H1 etc.

I must learn to download the Dukascopy data - if that helps...

If I understand correctly, the "BodySwitch EA" closes order from another EA.

The "BodySwitch EA" works with (MagicNumber=1000), and only closes orders with this number.
Inserted Code
if(dClose<=lossLevel && order.MagicNumberX==MagicNumber)
If that's how I understand it, you also have "MagicNumber=1000" and have to change the MagicNumber in your EA or in the BodySwitch.
Dear SwingMan,

I am dedicated this optimized result for EURUSD since 2021 for this THREAD,.. hope helpful.
Using Dukascopy Tick data for >99% quality

If you all like it I will optimize more pairs.

Cheers,

Budi
