The MMTU setting does set the lot size as a %age of the balance. As the balance goes up, if you leave the MMTU setting the same, the lot size will increase . Have you looked at the AddSix_02a EA? I've been running it for over two months now with good results. I'm using an MMTU setting of .4 . I take profit with a separate EA at roughly .5%.

I will start the demo, can you share your set file , please

Thank you so much for your useful message

I appreciate you can't backtest a basket system on MT4 but I wonder if anyone has done this using Dukascopy's own platform on which you can as far as I'm aware ?
Multi-pair basket systems (EAs) can be backtested (simulated) in MT4. However, you need to know your way around MQL4 and spend some time creating a framework for the simulation of data. For best results, you also need to use tick data.

Creating the simulation framework and gathering tick data is a time-consuming process and not necessarily for the novice programmer. But once completed, it creates a "plug-and-play" testing environment for all EAs.

If I get some free time, I'll elaborate a little more about the simulation framework I use. Although, this is probably a little out-of-scope for this thread.

I mean average 1 trade closure per day. We can expect minimum 22 basket closures in a month.
Intraday only.

ZZ,
Would love to learn more about the framework when you have time. I already have the tick data system in place, but haven't been able to backtest any of the basket methods I have been playing with.

Would be great to be able to backtest all these EA's. I'm hoping you or someone else can come up with the framework necessary. Just got another basket closure with AddSix_02a. That's the 5th basket to close on my demo since I closed down my live account(Dec.13th) for the holiday chop. Was wanting to see how it would do during this period and looks like it would have made me a chunk of cash so far.

Yep, mine is going smoothly as well. DD still hasnt ever risen about 7%

I am still curious in doing a direct comparison between 602a annd 602a with a CLx3. Was waiting for frazerd's answer earlier but guess he's away.

I understand the reluctance to answer questions that are in the thred but I can't find a descption on how pipstep works - can someone confirm if set at 20 it will open trase ar 20pip intervals or is it it will only. Open a teade if the trade is more than 20 pips from last trade

previous winning trade has to be 20 pips or more in profit in order to open follow up trades on that pair

4X,
Which EA are you running? My AddSix_02a has been trading all week. Do you have the smiley face and are the phantoms moving?
Yes, smiles and all moving but nothing opening. Anyone else getting trades?
I may change up as I am running a different version My addsix_02a_cl_TH_PS

errors in journal or experts tab?
if you had it running untouched before the top of the last hour, it should have opened at least one trade.
Wait for the next hour to pass (in 35 minutes) if still no trade opens, then u prob have an issue.
Also be sure to open market watch, right click and choose 'showall'

I am testing AddSix_03bx_CL-PS
On a $3,000 standard account with 0.01 minimum lot size available
The ea defaults to 0.01 lot size when it opens a trade
I have " Use smallest lot size " set to false

I want to set lot size at 0.05 so as to get a comparison with other tests
There is no lot size parameter to set a lot size
Can anyone please advise how I can achieve this

many thanks

JCS,
I have done similar calculations to get the lotsize I want.
Tell me what leverage you are running and I can give you the mmtu to use.

mmtu of 1.7 should give u what u want.
I don't think u should be trading that high, but that's ur answer anyhow

I am trading Phantom6_01a-2 on a live account 100:1, but the lot size remains at .10 lot all the time, no matter how the settings are changed. I did not have this problem with the demo account. This is with Alpari UK account with USD 6200 in equity.

Another problem is that the EA will at some 0 hours open more than one trade, sometimes up to three trades, whereas it should open only one trade - at least that is my understanding.

Nevertheless, the EA is doing well so far, but I would be much happier if it wasn't for those gremlins, or have I got it wrong?

Tazmaan, what formula do you use to calculate the mmtu?
  • #420
  • Dec 23, 2010 6:16pm Dec 23, 2010 6:16pm
it's in the code

investment = mmtu / 100

capital * investment * (leverage / 100000)

Not sure on your version, as I am not running that one, but typically:
Trades will open more than one once in awhile at the top of the hour, it's when during that 1 minute window more than 1 pair becomes biggest winner.
