@psgm

can't help you - and I think others too ? I'm in from the beginning - read all the stuff here - you must go through at least the first post - the EA v0.6 is similar to 0.7. Then use for instance the set files posted by Kaizasoze - they are working - but waiting optimizing processes. In this therad you can't finf so far an EA ready fpr live trading ! Here is a lot of work - you could join the testers.

Hi Kaz !

I'm trading now your 15M set again. Have even two acc. First is a try with following pairs: USD/JPY, EUR/USD, USD/CAD, GBP/USD, AUD/USD, EUR/JPY, EUR/GBP, GBP/JPY

DEMO with Alpari (UK). YOU CAN WATCH THIS ACCOUNT !

Acc number is: 988647, the investor password (read only) is: l6zpgvi. So everybody, if you like it, could follow what is going on in this Demo acc.

Have another acc, looks strange, that's why the pairs are: USD/CHF, EUR/CHF, GBP/CHF, EUR/AUD, EUR/CAD, NZD/USD, CHF/JPY, AUD/CAD, AUD/CHF, CAD/CHF, CAD/JPY, EUR/NZD.
May be I can found forward testing among these more uncommon pairs some candidates for further trading ? Of course it's a test on Demo only.

Acc number 988650 / afp7fxz

@Kaz: You could watch in these accounts also the gartley pattern - it seems they really have sometime relevance.

That's not an exclusive club but they know how to backtest.

We can't explain that here, there are other forums which handle that theme.

For me you don't have enough historical data and that's why you have the error, but not sure.

Hi Mandl2007

I think you are having too many pairs to pay your attention on. Just have max of 4-5 pairs each account. That should be enough. Later on once you optimize you can move on to other pairs. Also you've got to take the spread into account too. Some pairs have very high spread which you may not like to pay on this TF as we are not aiming for very many pips.

I am currently trying to find out about harmonic ratios and may be some way we can implement them to reduce -ve trades. Lot of work..hopefully I can come up with something that makes sense by this weekend.

Good trading to all
Cheers

No idea what's wrong there mate..I personally don't do back-tests..I need to know how EA behaves during news-time..which can't be emulated with back-testes...sorry can't help you with your queries!

No offense, but you sound a little short on patience. Just pay your pay due diligence, as we all have and spend a week on the thread you can find plenty of information for testing any time-frame you want. In case you've already done that I'll take my comments back.

OK,

I entered as close as possible a set that was posted on this forum )using false where it was showing 0, true if 1 etc.

Using wackyracers 15 v704 (I presume it was based on V6 - I have downloaded V0.7.

I used on last weeks $/$ in both 5 min and 1 min

STILL NO TRADES APPEARED ON BACK TEST!!!!!!

Looked at the manual - but that is for V0.6.

what am I doing wrong?????????

Surely I should be able to get results on back test?

What is the piece of the jigsaw I am missing

PLEASE HELP!!!!
Hi psgm

Try to load historical data from Tools/History Center

I hope this helps

I have attached the new version. The executable file contains all the necessary files. It should be uncompressed to Metatrader installation folder which should be like C:/Program Files/Alpari.

A little shoert on patience? Don't know how to backtest?? (cobraforex)???

I was attempting to use the strategy tester inbuilt into MT4!!

I selected the EA in the expert advisor
I selected £/$ in the symbol
I also tried all the variations of the model

I used 1 weeks worth of data on use date
and I used periods 1min, 5 min and 15 min

what else is there to use!!!!!

As I said before I copied as near as was possible a setup that was posted on this forum.

What else is there I could POSSIBLY have done!!!!

To my knowledge there are NO MORE FUNCTIONS in the MT4 strategy tester!!!!

Modify expert is not an option, and open chart is irrelevent in this case

I have managed to get other EAs working using this system, so I CAN BACKTEST!!!!

Was there anything else I missed????

Hi Traders
Just joined your group and am trying to get caught up on reading the past posts which is no easy task. I have downloaded the files from the first page and have installed them into an IBF demo account using MT4. I loaded the advisor onto a 5 minute chart of the EUR/USD along with the two indicators, I am using the settings file also. I have turned on live trading in MT4 and I have the smiley face. I started this up last evening and as of this morning I have no trades yet. I am running this on a dedicated computer with no other EAs at this time, everything seems to be working OK but just wanted to check in with the group and see if I had missed anything in the setup to get me started off on the right foot.
This is a great forum and I would like to thank all those that give so freely of their time and ideas.
I am also doing some testing with Euro Blaster and MegaDroid, just started about a week ago, these are also running on dedicated PCs on Alari and FXDD demo acounts.

Good Luck

Gene

Where have I been dis-courteous?

Where have I been un-humble

and where have I been unbalanced??

I have been asking for helop - and all I seem to be receiving is abuse for simply asking a simple question!!!

This is NOT what I was under the impression this forum was for.

I assumed it was here to help people improve their trading - not simply to try and score cheap points!!

What are the changes? Should we dump our V7 test files and reload V8? Need new .Set files or will the V7 sets work with V8?

Thanks

All v0.7 set files work with v0.8 version. The main changes are a new trendline break pattern, ADX adjusted stop loss and take profit, the option to start trading at a user defined hour on Monday and close all trades every day at a user defined hour.

Hi XuX
You are just great!
Thanks so much for this improved version. You always add something to what we request you in forum. I am sure it will improve the quality of setups.
I have one question. Normally there are a lot of bars in consolidation before there is a breakout. I am not able to think of an appropriate number for this pattern? I know we have to test and find out
but cannot think of something to start off. 3 or 4 or 5? May be a general description of how this algorithm looks for breakouts may help me get started on it.

@flyingnutjob
there is one more addition. Trix OB/OS levels. You can define a TF to be used.

Cheers

The truth is that I don't know well to handle EA's. less backtesting them correctly, but I try my best.

If I have a problem with some technical issue I try to google it or do a search in the FF forums and mostly I get my answer.

I have a lot of patience, in the THV thread we have more than 12.000 posts and all got answered or sent a link to the info posted but I can't answer what I don't know 100%.
