Maybe this is helpful...?
You cannot convert the files back using Notepad, as saving a binary .ex4 file in Notepad overwrites the binary data with plain text, permanently destroying the executable code unless you have a backup. If the file content was not overwritten and only the file association (the "Open With" setting) was changed, you can restore the correct behavior by resetting the default program for .ex4 files.
1. If You Only Changed the "Open With" Setting
If the files still have their original size and you simply made them open in Notepad when double-clicked, the binary data is likely intact. You can fix the file association in Windows:

  1. Right-click an .ex4 file and select Properties.
  2. In the "Opens with" section, click Change.
  3. Select MetaEditor (or MetaTrader 4 if MetaEditor is not listed) from the list of applications.
  4. Ensure the box "Always use this app to open .ex4 files" is checked, then click OK.
  5. Alternatively, go to Control Panel > Default Programs > Set Associations and set .ex4 to open with MetaEditor.

2. If You Saved the Files in Notepad
If you opened the files in Notepad and clicked Save, the binary code has been replaced with text characters.

  1. Check for Backups: Restore the original .ex4 files from a backup, cloud storage (OneDrive, Dropbox), or Windows File History/Previous Versions.
  2. Re-download: If the files were downloaded, re-download them from the source.
  3. Source Code: If you have the original .mq4 source code, compile it again in MetaEditor to generate a new, valid .ex4 file.
  4. Decompilation is Not a Solution: Recent .ex4 files cannot be reliably decompiled back into editable source code, and attempting to edit the text version in Notepad will not restore the executable.

Just fumbled over the thread and looked through all the changes, from a counter trend pullback system working well in rangeing markeds to the trend following system it is now.

Just wondered if anyone has used the EA - to trade a real account with succes? Or has all trading been done on demo?

And if so are the results looking good or did they change over time.

Has anyone also looked into if any time of the day, provide a larger succes rate then others - too improve the chances of a trend happening.

We have only had the EAs working to full potential for a short time, so, no is the answer to your question.

I have been concentrating on the Gold M1 chart only and trading the whole day, so, no is the answer to your question...lol...While analyzing the charts I have seen a repetition of chart characteristics I have not established that they appear at similar times.

Are you using the system to trade gold manually on m1 or do you use another system?

Thanks for the directions, I succeeded.

Nice discovery.
But backtest results can be misleading, especially on 1M.
Test them live before trusting performance.

Hey, I have also had both EA's running for the last 12 hours with the settings in post 518 and post 520.

I have just set it to a fixed value of 0.01 and it made these trades - are they lining up with yours?

6 losses and 1 winners with and overall negative return.

Found out at least one of the issues - they were running on the same magic number. So that's why only one of them was running

Lets see if we get the same trades doing tuesday

I ran version 2 for a while on a $10 Cent account, and it turned into $30. It is profitable, but there are days it will give back some profit. Overall, the weekly result is profitable. I ran it for a month, I don't remember exactly.

Real account...

Version 7 is more promising, but I didn't quite understand certain behaviors; the closures are in external bands even when setting 6RR, for this reason I turned it off.
Testing it again in demo account now! V2.

The closures are not in the external bands when using RR method. Price will most likely end up there because it needs to move a ways to reach 6RR but the outer bands are insignificant.

I'm also running it on a small account - cause I didn't bother to load the demo with more haha.

But it looks like its running now, like it should - and of cause it will give some of it back - but the main gold is a slow steady climb.
Right now I'm just looking at the profit factor compared to the winrate. What it rakes in in democash is not really relevant.

Then I will try and put it on a real account next week and let it cook.

Below is only v2 trades - but have one v7 running with 2R profit locked in - so right now it's running smooth.

Hey Cfudge.

I wonder what's making the different results - cause I use the settings that you posted in post 518 and 520 - I am using the latest models Realblank has released.

It made some good results doing asia, where it increased the account by 100% - of cause because it's a small account - but have lost it all again doing london and new york as you can see below. And your graph looks like its has been a good day overall - something is off with my settings compared to yours I think.

What versions of the posted EA's are you using and is the settings still the same as in post 518 and 520?


Edit: I just noticed that of cause I would have had a large profit if both ea's had been running doing the profitable part of the session - perhaps that's made the difference. Since they doubled the drawdown in london and new york - but didn't double the profit made doing asia.
