Hi...chasing some wisdom
I'm building an EA for the M1 EUR/USD with Mt4 and having massive difficulty with INCONSISTENT back testing.
I can work on it for ages with progressively improving results as I tweak it, and get eg $100,000 nett from a $10k account testing back to 1.1.10.
Five minutes later it tests a shocking graph and only earns $20k or less.
I've re-loaded my mt4 platform. I've re-loaded the data in the history center. etc etc. ...now run out of ideas!
Really desperate and frustrated, because its very hard to improve or check an EA if the results are not reliable!
Any suggestions would be very appreciated.
(Also, on a different note. If anyone could help me with some code to close a "sell" if it goes into negative and the price crosses upwards above the ma on the M5 chart. This "sell" trade would have been initiated below the MA. Other trades that are initiated above the MA would be closed either in profit or with a normal stop loss)
Thanks heaps in anyone can help@
