What are the 2 indicators named that you have loaded. I only have TrendRange_bars loaded on 1 of my charts to see what it is like (red & blue line indicator).
Hi Bernard,
Has not been a good day for the 1f on the EURUSD, SL from a buy then a little 6pip sell at the bottom of the dip.
Since ea appears to only run 1 trade at a time, maybe it depends when the ea is loaded, as to how it starts picking trades. Seems to be doing a long pause now, so may get into the right sequence.
I will see tonight(your tomorrow).
cheers scalpz

Hi Bernard.
Am back-testing, period for 6 weeks, but no trades are executed. Used defaults, then changed parameters to alternative settings, but still no trades are entered.

I saw on your backtest reports that you get 90% Modelling quality. Thats really pretty dang good, especially compared to my normal 25% & 50% at best (once only).
Any chance of you putting together a noddy guide as an attachment to how you get your data loaded & selected, source etc.
I have demos on IBFX mini & FXDD std, but with the MT4 platform seems to still head to meta-quotes for getting history data.
Should I run it from/next to my live IBFX mini acct.
Still like to forward test tho.

check the attachment, I hope it helps. I do not know all the functionality but let me know if you need a helping hand.
The back testing works V well indeed, yesterday I did 25 x 1 months tests on another EA for a friend of mine, now he can get stuck into his final forward testing happy in the knowledge that he has honed his settings down to the correct ones and eliminated most of the bugs. No one can waste 25 months of real world time. Rather use the tester!
Cheers

Version 1f of Trend Catcher makes a few trades, everyone knows. The major difference between version 1g and version 1f, is that version 1g will not take any trades near to Pivot/Support/Resistance levels.

Thanks for the v1g. Have now got it all loaded on 8 charts.
Noticed when I loaded GBPJPY, it didnt show the text labels for Pivot S1 S2 etc.
I eventually extended the SpreadLimit to 9 & they show.
Thought strange, cause EURGBP has a spread of 9 also but the Pivot text labels have been showing since the ea was loaded. So increased EURGBP SpreadLimit from 5 to 6 & they didnt reshow. Got up to 9 before they reappeared (after 5-10sec 'thinking' pause). Maybe when I 1st applied the ea to EURGBP the spread was very low. Is this only checked in the init function, or repeatedly rechecked and something else was maybe stalling things.
When the ea is checking for location of the pivots, is it looking in the direction of the selected buy or sell for enough clearance for TP or just InitialStopBuffer. Or is it checking both directions before deciding sell or buy.
Thanks again for the v1g, still in the waiting mode - I'm not good at that.
I better not come back as a buzzard.
