After this, and I hope to make it work, it would be necessary to work on the issue of self-optimization, using something that is published in this forex factory forum, and that I think is genius on the part of the developer, but unfortunately applied to a expert advisor not good:

I think the trick is automating optimization, which I've been considering for a while. MT seems to support that, though it's a bit of a job, most likely not written in MQL. Sliding new parameters into a running EA from another program should be the easy part.

Strategy Tester is designed to be invoked externally, communicating mostly through files and the command line. You just have to keep running passes with more refined parameters and ranges until you get the best result. Since it will likely be more of a tune-up maybe only one or two passes will be necessary. So the optimization happens in a separate MT instance.

At least that seems like the simplest way, and requires the least 'damage' to the original EA , easy access to full optimization and the least re-inventing the wheel. It does take more computer horsepower, but opt. could be done on a different machine if necessary.

I think automating optimization is more important than auto-transfer of params to the EA though. I don't expect to have to re-optimize all that often for good results with a herd of robots. :-)

Wow, nice to see some action in this thread. I havent contributed but ive followed it for awhile.

Richard: what do you think of optimizing in MT5, every saturday or sunday, past week markets, to run the best setfile on the next upcoming week ?
To keep the setfile fresh and up-to-date.
Any inputs on that?

Best regards

That could work. I think running a herd of robots is the most important thing for maximum profitability.

Optimizing often could be helpful for trading one or two currencies. When you have a group of five or ten then optimizing perfection becomes less important. Running NS also tends to make a hyper optimizing schedule less important. It's a nicety, but I suspect it won't pay dividends nearly as well with a larger herd and NS.

Some setups last a long time with no need for change. Even with only a month or two of history something like a quarter of my setups last for months without tune-up. The optimizer sometimes manages to find repeating patterns that transcend current market changes. Also, half the herd is liable to be busy over the weekend and not available for optimization. Then you might want to create another instance for that same pair. Lots of other considerations in that decision.

An optimization tune-up is not always better than it's predecessor. I find it necessary to resist the urge to update an older setup when it's been performing well for weeks or months.

There are lots of ways to approach the herd-based system. I don't have enough experience with it to answer the questions definitively. As usual I'm guessing. :-)

I look at the row of currencies trading and evaluate each for it's profitability and speed. Some of the older ones should probably not be touched. They're unlikely to be improved upon. (This process could be automated too, but then what's left for the operator to futz with? :-)

I think a dashboard geared towards optimizing the portfolio is a good target for development. Something to give greater insights into how well the various setups are working together. Finding something already laying around in MQL4 and adapting it to compile on both systems would be cool.

Automating optimization will be a big win. It will easily open the door for all kinds of good things. Hooking it up to running instances of Blessing is cool, but much less important than these other issues, I think.

I have ten instances of Blessing running on each of two accounts. I'm feeling the need to update less than half those setups after a month or so. No telling how I'll feel next week.

Thanks, jimsxxl.

Good luck!

Im trying out the ”herd”-theory this week, with 4 robots which i optimized Saturday from last week markets. Running them on one pair. Will see how this week ends, then optimize again this upcoming Saturday, from this current week markets.
Doing this to see if fresh setfiles every week will give positive effects.

Hi everyone,

Just finished some testing, it was doing well. Until this week,it put in good trades but unfortunately the trades were against long term trends

Is there anyway of adding some features for having the indicators on multiple times frames?

Change MaxTrades to 1 or SetLots to a single entry and the grid goes away. You can also set EntryOffset to 0 and lose the offset.

Good luck!

Not great. This week was a turning point for the US and the world. Long term trends coming to an end, some reversing, some undecided.

Take a look at some of your currency pairs on the W1 time frame. And then D1.

Robotraders are largely based on past market movements. On history. When the market changes direction we don't do as well. People are coming to terms with a worldwide recession and figuring out what to do about it. Things are getting messy. Next week will probably be worse.

Now is a good time for the robot operator to do more of the thinking. Consider forcing longs or shorts, or staying out.

It's all a game of chance, so ...

Good luck!

Yes you are right richard.
Although, i will continue to test my approach, lets see what the upcoming weeks will be like.

A faster way to test a strategy is to use Strategy Tester. :-)

Start back a year or two, optimize over two months or so, then test over the following month. Take notes.

Move forward a month and repeat. Do this for 12 or 24 months of history and you can know a lot more about your system in much less time. After all, time is money.

Just a thought.

Good luck!

About the herd or portfolio idea ...

This is a no-brainer. Protection of a trader's account is paramount. Things like the 2% rule exist to keep you from losing too much on a bad day or week.

If a bad trade loses you no more than 2% of your account then you can still trade. Even if you get 10 bad trades in a row you can still survive. (Larger accounts may want to reduce the 2% further.)

Then how can you take advantage of a high leverage account? You can't. Unless you trade multiple different things at the same time. This assumes you have a system with a statistical advantage. The chance of two different instruments losing simultaneously is much lower than say chancing 4% or more on one.

Trading a portfolio of robots is like compressing time and doing in one month what would otherwise take two or four or more months. Trading with additional care during difficult times in the market is always a good idea too, of course. Use your leverage wisely.

Good luck!

Yes, it crossed my mind also
I will do so, just need to find the time.
For now, ill keep testing it in live markets

Thanks for the reply. but I still want to use the martingale/multiplier.. i just need to open new orders every after the closed bars and if the distance/pipstep of last open trade is met. and orders will close on one TP settings only.

i testing Blessing for a while and today i noticed something unusual.
there are currently two EA-Blessings with exactly the same version running on different computers.
why does the EA-Blessings open and close different positions?
the EA-Blessing on the higher computer performs better as the lower computer.

does the computer hardware makes a big difference?
(both run on ICMarketsEU-Demo03)
