Hi richboy
Nice work. Thank you very much too.

I am just wondering if you could make a little modification on the trading period as suggested by robdee. He proposed a trading periods as 6:00-8:45, 14:00-14:45 and 19:00 to 23:45 in GMT. In that way, your EA’s profitability should be increased dramatically.
Cheers

I'm going to test your suggestion as soon as possible.
Thanks.

OK sounds like IBFX has converted their demo servers to 5-decimal prices. I am still on the old 4-decimal prices. I really don't want to go 5-decimal so I haven't decided what to do about my IBFX data feed.
hi Rob thank you very much for your prompt reply.

However, in my MT4, the VFA and VFE got the exactly same red and blue signals. Could you post me the address to download the VFE indicator and template again for me to redownload although I downloaded them many times. I wonder if you will think the reason is I am using the new IBFX data feed, resulted to the same signals on VFA and VFE.

Another thing is how to get the four digit data feed as yours?

Many thanks

Hi Robdee. [FONT='Arial CYR','sans-serif']I probably have missunderstandly explained about indicator Group. If you have entry example BUY and index EUR shows ‘+’ and value of index number more 18 and else index GBP shows ‘+’ too but index CHF shows ‘-‘ then this entry will be correct and on the contrary.[/font]
[FONT='Arial CYR','sans-serif']This indicator reflects situation it is enough exactly.[/font]

Hey guys, we need to be careful here. Richboy, if your EA uses VFA, then you need to be aware that Robdee's strategy testing results using time restrictions (06:00 - 08:45, 14:00 - 14:45 and 19:00 - 23:45) were using VFE so would have quite a different signal base.

Anyway, my question was that if we are now using the 5 decimal demo IBFX datafeed, does your EA need any modifications to either the code or the input values or does it already take it into account?

Thanks,
fb

All,

Be aware that Rob has told that Vforce and VFE will show different signal candle from different brokers. and his recommended is using IBFX MT4, so if you using on other broker, you may get into losing positions at the end of result.

I use alpari with 5 decimals for my backtests.
The code requires the inputs data expressed in Pips and then it get the Digits value from the terminal....

Here a look at the code:

if(Digits>4)
moltiplicatore = MathPow(10.0,(Digits-4)); //So it will works even with 5 and 6 digits brokers

internalDeltaBuy = DeltaBuyPips * moltiplicatore * Point;
internalDeltaSell = DeltaSellPips * moltiplicatore * Point;
internalBreakEvenStop= BreakEvenStopPips * moltiplicatore * Point;
internalTrailingStop = TrailingStopPips * moltiplicatore * Point;
internalStopLevel = MarketInfo ( Symbol() , MODE_STOPLEVEL) * moltiplicatore * Point;

do you see some error in the logs when you start the test?
What brokers are you using? (I'm on alpari...)

Thanks.
Hi. I am with Alpari, FXDD & Interbank but I have for now tried this on Interbank where its coming up with Unmatched data error. Not sure what that means.

i want to get to a position where i mirror your results in your post I think yesterday and then take it from there by looking at it further

One step at a time for me!

Be great to get your thoughts on where I am messing up

On IBFX you get errors like

Invalid lots amount for OrderSend function
OrderSend error 4051
ERRORE: 4051
This evening at home I'll open a demo account on IBFX and I'll try the ea to see if I get the some error, so I'll be able to correct the behavior.
Thanks for the feedback.

In the MT4 help I found this: 4051 - Invalid function parameter value. Maybe the lot size...

What is your account Currency ???

Hi all,
don't enable mail with RichBoy EA version 0.0.3 or previous because I notice today an error and I receive by my PC more the 500 messages!
I have yet fixed the bug for the next version (0.0.4) that will be released in the next days.
Thanks.

I thought so. When I was using the ea in the real time in a demo account, the message and alarm jumped out always if there would be a signal.

Hello,
as promise I had spent some time to test the ea with IBFX rather than Alpari.
Even on IBFX the ea seems to work fine, but the result was worst than the other brokers.... I don't know why.
In the image attached you can see the results.
Thanks.

Hi Richboy. Still unsure why I'm getting different results on my backtest. I have 90% accuracy....

Also, I have noticed it won't allow us to backtest on other pairs, but we can forward test. Why is that?

My test:
I download from alpari the EURUSD 1M history ( http://www.alpari-idc.com/en/dc/databank.html ).
Then extract the zip, rename the file as EURUSD1.hst and put it into the history folder.
Then I set to 2147483647 the option you see in the attachment.
Then I use the PeriodConverter script to transform the 1M history to 15M.
Then I close and reopen MT4 (build223).
Then I make my backtest.

Hope this help....

I thought you were using the new IBFX with 5digits price rather then their old version 4 digits. So the signal might be different compared with them

Hi richboy
how often do you expect the EA to trade. I have had it running for the second day, with no trades.
Although, I downloaded your latest version only 10min. ago, I cannot tell if it is the 0.0.3 version or the 0.0.4 version.
Any adjustments to the settings, or can I leave it with standard settings to begin with?
Thanks

I think I've figured out that it needs to be run on a 5 decimal broker such as alpari. If it is on a standard 3 digit one, trades will be less frequent. (I think)
