{quote} This is demo result of 6-7 pair self-optimization ( 1m and 5m mostly) within 2 weeks. I changed some set files after first awful week. All the trade ended in about 2-5 hours after taken. Not look that great, how can you make this happen ( the same strategy as yours, all set files used 2 months data only ). I noticed after 10 winnings streak, i earn about 10-20$, and 1 lose -50$ and it keeps repeated. {image}
It's nice to see someone trying things.

Nothing about the market is a sure thing. You're going to lose from time to time. Occasionally you'll lose frequently. The world is very unsettled with war, recession, pandemics, absurd-politics, etc. Finding usable repeating patterns is more difficult than a few years ago.

My solution: try everything. Someone on this list suggested a while back he was going to take a break and let the turmoil subside a bit. That's probably a good idea too.

I've got lots of different copies of MT5 running with many different setups on different pairs. Most of them are performing poorly at the moment.

Yesterday I noticed that my best performer was a mistake. I apparently loaded the chart, set the timeframe and forgot to load the set file. Over a number of weeks it has achieved a Profit Factor of 9.5!

I used to be able to optimize a setup and go straight to live trading. Not so much anymore.

Consider taking a break. Or try everything. I used to make one setup per pair. Now I'm trying five or six setups on the same pair and watching them on demo for a while. Taking a break probably makes more sense. :-) But I enjoy twiddling with this silly stuff, learning more about the Blessing monster and more about the world of currencies.

Try different things. Different timeframes. More or less history. Different entry combinations. Different stops. It's good to keep winning trades larger than losing trades if possible.

Strategy Tester doesn't optimize stop size well. You need to manually change it and re-optimize to see which setting works best. If someone finds a faster way please let me know.

It's interesting to 'take the temperature' of the market by quick single-pass optimizing a few pairs over a short history, say seven or ten days. When things are calm you will get mostly perfect setups with 100% winning trades. This week it's more of a mess, almost no 100-percenters. Lots of interesting and crazy ideas growing out of this stuff.

Good luck!

Yes forex is the hardest way to get easy money,Richard.

Since 2013 i have optimized blessing and my account keep blowing. but im still doing it until today, at least i didnt use my strategies twiced after it failed.
Now i used blessing for my "assistant" to clear position after analizing chart and make an open position, and create great result.

Im still modifying the coding of the blessing, I put 2 Bollinger Band indicator for entry the trade. Bollinger 1 is in the Daily chart, this is to identify the trend of the chart, and Bollinger 2 is in the m15 chart to scalping, so when the candle come inside the bollinger wave on the d1 chart. it will stop the trade and wait until it comes out again. I do this in major pair not only 1 chart, with the grid size min.50 pips and 100 pips, and time delay 10.000 second.

Now im still thinking how to code the blessing for handle a manual entry, so the blessing can continue to finish the trade. im not a coding master, im just trial and error until i found the code works. for this maybe i need to think about the magic number or trade comment. any ideas?

great work can you help to change some more settings in hedge formula
change these >>
input string DDorLevel = "LEVEL";; // DD = start hedge at set DD;Level = Start at set level
input double HedgeStart = 4;; // DD Percent or Level at which Hedge starts >>>((change like ... "4,5,6,7"))
input double hLotMult = 0.25;; // Hedge Lots = Open Lots * hLotMult >>>((change like ... "0.25,0.35,0.45"))
input double hMaxLossPips = 576;; // DD Hedge maximum pip loss - also hedge trailing stop >>>((change like ... "288,576,1152"))
input double hTakeProfit = 288;; // Hedge Take Profit >>>((change like ... "144,288,576,1152"))

into these type >>
input string DDorLevel = "LEVEL";; // DD = start hedge at set DD;Level = Start at set level
input string HedgeStart = "4,5,6,7";; // DD Percent or Level at which Hedge starts >>>((change like ... "4,5,6,7")) (separated by a comma)
input string hLotMult = "0.25,0.35,0.45";; // Hedge Lots = Open Lots * hLotMult >>>((change like ... "0.25,0.35,0.45")) (separated by a comma)
input string hMaxLossPips = "288,576,1152";; // DD Hedge maximum pip loss - also hedge trailing stop >>>((change like ... "288,576,1152")) (separated by a comma)
input string hTakeProfit = "144,288,576,1152";; // Hedge Take Profit >>>((change like ... "144,288,576,1152")) (separated by a comma)
so after 4th or 5th trade against the trend we can make our capital more safe and set hLotMulti %, hMaxLossPips and hTakeProfit separate by level grid size

I recently played with hedging again. I can see that it needs something. But I'm not convinced that it's worth the trouble. Perhaps there's an effective way to use hedging with Blessing, I just haven't managed to find it yet. And I suspect it's really not necessary anyway.

If you've got other ideas or experiences please explain.

I'll post some setups shortly that work pretty well without hedging.

{quote} There are all kinds of reasons for differences in data streams. Some have to do with funky brokers, some with the MT5 software (I think) and a number of other factors. Open Prices Only is great on MT4. On MT5 its flakey. It often doesn't work well at all, yet sometimes it works fine for a little while. I don't know what that's all about. I have no problems with 1 Minute OHLC and occasionally do a run with Real Ticks as a sanity check when I'm done optimizing. If there's a large discrepancy between the two it usually means the broker is using...
I haven't had much time recently, but have just had a bit of a look and Everytick-Real matches live trading pretty closely (with a few weird exceptions). 1M OHLC in every back test comes out at least twice as good, except it doesn't match reality at all. So it seems nessessary to check a backtest with EveryTick before going live.

Secondly, when using OPB=true, MACD entries place 2 orders which often both get triggered open. If OPB is off, then blessing removes the 2nd order once the first is opened so the 2nd never opens. I suspect there there are a few other bugs like this around back testing.

These aren't show stoppers for me and I'm running it live, however it would be nice to clean them up.

I had a great June, followed by a crap first half of July. 2nd half was ok again. Still trying to get my head around a good strategy to start and stop instances of blessing.

It's not magic. Your set file can create all kinds of different behavior.

Blessing generally trades both ways when you tell it to. Mine does all day long, times a hundred.

Your setup is creating your behavior. If you think there's a bug somewhere then please describe it in more than one sentence. Spend some times finding clues and ruling out problems with your set file, etc. I don't like ignoring people, but useless comments are no fun.

Blessing is a cooperative effort.

Good luck!

I recheck real ticks every so often. Lately it's been close enough. I'm mostly going from 1M OHLC to live lately.

I had noticed the behavior you mentioned, though I hadn't associated it with OPB. Thanks for checking. I was kind of thinking it was some sort of feature. I admittedly still don't fully understand how everything works in Blessing. The code is still not pretty or fun to read without real motivation. I'm slowly fixing that. But I'm having too much fun trading it lately.

As far as starting and stopping Blessing, the market is still fairly unpredictable ... 'you pays your money and you takes your chances ...' :-)

Throw a good setup at it and get ready to take your lumps or profits. The version of Blessing that wins every trade is still a little ways out on the horizon. :-)

Speaking of which; I'm having some early good results with trading without stops (sort of.) Great stuff!

When I noticed my best performer on demo was a complete mistake with garbage settings I did some checking. UseStopLoss was set to false!

No wonder!

So lately, I've been beginning optimization with stop loss disabled, which usually produces a wonderful equity curve and nice big Profit Factor. Sometimes nothing but winning trades across three months history! (m15) Then dial in stops, etc. that do the least amount of damage to the curve and PF, while limiting potential losses. I think I'm finally optimizing my approach to optimization. :-)

It's pretty nice seeing those long strings of winning trades.

When you do an All Symbols Opt, you get lots of hits and one setup looks surprisingly good on a fair number of other pairs!

I think this set file is a good approximation of a first pass ...

Just load it up on top of your current settings and do a Fast Genetic pass, and refine from there.

Yeah I see that bugs too, but i not know why.
In that set file, i used MACD set to true, reserved, maybe what you said is true.
Lot size is messed up a bit as you can see.
