Ok...the long I run it the more I find bug...so be patient with my version of the EA...it's a work in progress...

Now...it should backtest...but I need confirmation...I tried to backtest only with regular bars and it takes the trades..so I suppose it does it even with offline charts...

P.S. Thank you Crodzilla...if I will need help I will surely ask you..

Hi again....

Another update....now is ECN ready...I hope :-)

Again..I need confirmation by someone that uses ECN account.

There is a new parameter:

ECN_account = false;

Obviously it has to be false for normal accounts and needs to be switched to True for ECN accounts...

Let me know..

Can anybody code an indicator to plot the lines with labels on open of a new CRB?

It would help those who want to forward test this method manually or trade it manually on non-MT4 platforms using MT4 charts

I am not an EA fan nor do I believe MT4 backtesting to be credible.

Chris B - Does the EA for ECN brokers attach to the offline chart or the 1M chart with the indicator? Thanks for your work buddy.

It works with offline charts because it needs Range Bars...so you have to put it on your Offline chart, not on the 1M chart..


Happy New Year to all!!

I accidentally left the Dreamliner EA running on my live account last night (distracted after testing the EA) on EURUSD.

I was petrified... until I saw the results. 3 wins 3 losses. Positive 21 pips due to the money management.

Nothing like a live stress test...

I'm now testing my EA over 4 pairs (50 CRB) and yours on GBPUSD (30 CRB)..the results seem promising for the whole strategy...we will see next week...

Hi Chris, I modified your EA, so I could run it on a separate chart other than range bars. Time frame does not matter I am running it on 5 minute.

I also wrote 2 indicators . (This would be perfect for the way zamanib trades) One goes on the Range Bar chart to send out Global variables. The other can go on any chart with the same symbol I have mine on the same 5 minute as the EA you wrote and I modified. It draws the lines and the box containing the Range Bar. It is perfect for checking the price action of the 5 minute against the Range Bar chart.

I won't post the EA, because it works just like yours, but runs from a normal chart and I do not want to clutter the thread with different versions. I would send it to you if you want to see what I did.

Here are the 2 indicators. "offline ohlc global" goes on the Range Bar chart and "DL Lines and RangeBars" goes on any other chart chosen as long as it is the same symbol.

PS, I am not recommending any type of trading and am not responsible in any way for how these will be used or any information disclosed. My advise is my opinion only.

Damn! I'm up another 15 pips. I meant to close it out before the end of this short day, but wasn't watching the time. 54 pips over that last 18 hours... during holiday trading is very interesting.

I hope this is the precursor of things to come... in a normal market.

SMJones, very nice. Thanks for that.

nice dashboard -- 50 pips range bar -- 20-30 above below -- tp close of bar sl 30 +sp works fine for me
can you share the dashboard
Still getting some bugs out of it but will be more than happy to share when it is done. What I want to do is also incorporate the EA with it so it will also be able to take trades or just monitor.

Right now it uses a Custom Indicator that collects the info and sends it to the DB. The indicator also puts the open, BuyStop, SellStop, and Start lines on the chart for the Range bar. The indicator goes on a regular chart and doesn't need a special Range Bar Off Line chart to work. Roght now its for manual trading and just gives alerts, tieing it to an EA would be the best of both Worlds.

I see CrodZilla is using an EA he created himself and Chris is still working on his. I see CrodZilla's seems to be working from the results he is getting, but he didn't post the code so I may need to wait for Chris to finish his or maybe incorparate my own. Just hate to reinvent the wheel, although it shouldn't take much to add my own to the DB as most of the Buy/Sell Logic is already there.

Good Luck

Figured out the issue, and for those of us who are backtesting with the offline range charts, there is a crucial step that may be missing from your setup.
For example, if you are doing what I am, and using the m1 timeframe to make the rangebar chart, and naming it m5..
be SURE to delete the m1 history file afterwards, before running strategy tester....
with your solution back-testing on off-line chart is working.
I have noticed one thing though which is the modeling quality is like ~20%. I don't know with this modeling quality how reliable back-testing results would be.
