On the other pictures the graph does that look so nice in the end but I think that's just because the lot sizes gets too big. Here is a test from 2000 to today starting at $1000 with a lot size of 5 %. You probably can't see the numbers but it ended at close to a million.

Yes. What is the compra and venda variables for? It does not look like anything is changed when I set them to false.

Yes. What is the compra and venda variables for?
compra toggles the buy on and off
venda toggles the sell on and off.

The logic causes the buy and sell to alternate.

Needs to be true to begin They really should be set as non extern

Ther very first trade may be altered under certain conditions of the RSI, but then the next cycle will be normal.

It looks like a simple RSI-based EA.

The EA manages only one trade at a time.

It looks like it's designed to an alternating buy/sell EA.

Compra is Buy
Venda is Sell

There is also a time limit function thing. To restrict trading hours.


So, if the RSI is greater than 70, a Sell is opened
If the RSI is less than 30, a Buy is opened.

If the RSI falls between 40 and 60, then the EA resets itself and is open for both buys and sells.

Okay. It doesn't look like the variables works. I get both buy and sell orders no matter which setting I use.

Okay. Then that's why I didn't see the big difference.

Yes, that is one of the reasons I am saying they should not be external varables and just be declared globally.

Did you only want this tested on EURGBP, or on other pairs as well? what timeframe? Maybe you could just quickly post a chart and then it would be clear what you want. thanks much

Good question RR.

Do you know what this line of code is for?
Inserted Code
IN = NormalizeDouble(AccountFreeMargin() / 2500,2);

I don't see any other reference to it in the code.

To be honest, I have never seen a indicator based system be the real thing, but who knows, maybe you have found something. It is certainly worth looking at. I try to trade from the right side of the chart though, not the left. This is good, because I am already some what skeptical, which is a good thing for a test.

This Ea is a bit sloppy and It was thinking this is a hold over of an idea the author may have had, but you are right it is just declared and nothing more than that.

Here is another part that bothers me.

double free;
if (AccountFreeMargin() < free * 1500.0) return(0);

In this case free will always be 0, so what is the point of the code.

RR, smjones and nvwine,

You guys are the experts. I have downloaded this EA but will only test it if you guys will advise it is safe to do so.

Thanks

If you can advise me on the settings you think may work, I can forward test on FXDD. BTW what time frame have you backtested?
