Hello, Matt.
I downloaded today the up-dated EA file (ex4) and tried to backtest it first.
It did not open any trade, I tried several times.
I got in the journal tab this:

12:18:58 DailyHighLow_AutoTrader: loaded successfully

Meta,

I think you are testing the EA on many pairs.

2 days ago you gave only GBP/JPY results
Yesterday many more (only) positive results on more pairs.

As your setting are pretty agressive with big SL levels and no trailing stop , could you also place the negative trades so we might have and idea of the big picture.

Your number are nice but a loss would be -360 pips with those settings (compare to -120 i think with the original system)

This is not a critic, just trying to help going forward...

mtaboneweb,

First, thanks for your hard work.

I do have a question about the DayStartHour. I'm in the Eastern time zone and use FXDD which starts a new daily candle at 5PM. I see you use IBFX but I don't know when their daily candle starts. What is the difference between these 2 brokers, and how does that affect the DayStartHour setting?

Thanks!
-Dave

I understand and agree with you. I'm not trying to be deceiving about the results. I have an extreme amount of data on my testing and will be posting it soon. Most of the results will not be good but I make it my business to test every pair under a given set of parameters to see how they do. Some pairs have shined under certain settings and that's all I was looking for. When you see the complete picture you'll understand where I'm coming from.

It will be important for people to get excited about testing other settings, start times, look back, etc. My testing has been extensive starting at 6 with a look back of 6 (IBFX time, roughly 2am Eastern).

Thanks.

Hi and thanks for testing with us here. I think your problem may be MaxHighLow which you currently have at 0. If you don't want trades to be restricted then set this to something much larger. The high/low has to be less that this parameter for trades to be placed.

Example: If you want it to trade no matter what the high/low span is then set MaxHighLow to say 1,000.

Let me know if that works out for you.

Thanks again,
Matt

Firstly, Hi everybody!

I think, the problem was with MaxHighLowIsAverage which was false, but must be true. The second problem was NumberOfDays whitch also wasn't fill out, so without these parametres this EA on my PC isn't work, can't find out an other setting/s. I think the problem was here. At the moment all works find.
