{quote} EA does what it is told, not what others think it should do... Not based on the spike, more so based on the close vs open... In both thinking about trade systems and coding, I think of it as instructions for an EA. If Close[1]<Open[1] <-Bear Candle as the close is less than open. If Close[1]>Open[1] <-Bull Candle as the close is greater than open. Using this, I basically stated, that if there is a bear candle and the close was still greater than the upper BB, sell. If you haven't worked with EAs, or coding,...

{quote} So was I... You'd be amazed at the different perspective you can gain by just learning a little, or seeing what happens and when through the optics of how code would apply to any system. Prior to my working with Mql4, I hadn't touched code since working on an appleIIe and my TRS80...lol In these, if you look at them, it is a language of its own, but if you understand a little about market, it is kind of a buffer. Example of Stochs: double smpM=iStochastic(NULL,0,k,d,slowing1,MODE_SMA,0,MODE_MAIN,2); double smcM=iStochastic(NULL,0,k,d,slowing1,MODE_SMA,0,MODE_MAIN,1);...

{quote} Hi Magix, Love that people do coding, as I'm an IT man ... but please, when learning, try do not fall on the typical errors that no-IT people here on FF do ... most of the related to performance of the indicators or the EA's. I was reviewing Proximus EA, you pointed earlier on this thread ... very good win-ratio ... but it's a pain in the ass trying to do backtest it ... because a simple, simple, simple error on the EA ... fixed it, and been able to do backtesting about 50x faster ... and there are other things that could be fixed. Most...

{quote} Hey RB. Thanks for the comment. Personally, I haven't really seen much of a difference on forward/live testing with the EAs using the tick vs bar close, but, point taken. With the $100 dynamic, I had attributed the slower backtests to the Derivative Oscillator as that bitch seems to work a fairly heavy load. Issues with backtesting? Speed of back tests are unimportant as the data that is obtained from back tests are too, irrelevant. I have issued the challenge over and over for anybody to show a complete month of back tests and how...
