DATFRA - Mt4 EA Builder & Walk Forward Analyser

Did you not get the dialog that is asking for administrator privileges when you hit the "build cluster" button?

-Darwin

Darwin:
Before this, when I hit the rebuild cluster button, I get the dialogue where the meta trader 4 main is and how many instances etc..– as in the manual. I choose the directory where I got my newly installed mt4 and choose OK and got the following notice:
User Account Control
Do you want the following program to make changes to this computer.
Program name:Windows command Processor
Verified Publisher: Microsoft Windows
Program Location: “C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe”\C
“F:\DATFRA_FREE\bin\mcl.bat”
I chose YES and it takes me to the window I posted (post 120)previously.

I did just re-read your last screenshot, and it says "The device does not support symbolic links".
So, either you have a wrong windows version (which one do you have?) or your file-system does not support links. In that case, try to install it somewhere else, not in the "F:"-Drive.

-Darwin

I use windows 8

Did you try to install on a different drive?

-Darwin

Aha! Installed in desktop. That did the trick and completed the installation. checked & everything worked. Great assistance, thanks for the help Darwin.

No problem. Your F: Drive seems to be formated with a filesystem that does not support file-links

THIS IS AN ATTEMPT TO SOFT-LAUNCH MY NEW TOOL; SO UNTIL I CREATE A DEDICATED THREAD FOR IT, I TRY TO GIVE IT OUT TO THE FIRST USERS IN THIS MORE STEALTHY WAY!

Hello,
today I want to release DATFRA-M, the DATFRA version for manual traders, which is a cloud-based strategy builder that is in essence able to teach trading

it consists of a strategy builder, a tool to practice trading on historical data (right in metatrader4, thousand times faster then demo trading) and a cloud to share our findings!

It is FREE and so easy to use, you will have learned it, and be able to use it in 10 minutes from now (The full tutorial video is ~10 minutes, and in there is everything you need to know!)




Overview of the whole concept

1) Get new trading systems!
DATFRA-M is able to give you an inifinite amount of new trading systems/ideas. Either from the builder or the cloud!
Find trading systems that perfectly suite your needs with a few mouse clicks.

2) Learn these systems
DATFRA-M is not meant to produce black-box systems. No, the system's inner trading logic can be displayed in a human-readable form
and additionally you can watch each system trade, directly in Metatrader, to learn and understand a new system within a few minutes!

3) Practice until you are an expert
Combine these systems, learn from them, throw in custom indicators, your knowledge and experience. Use DATFRA's systems as basis or addition for your own trading style.
And then, you can practice on historical data - just as if it was live!
DATFRA-M is able to replay the history right in Metatrader, for you to practice and improve trading - right in your favourite trading enviroment!

This is not limited to DATFRA's systems, it can be used to practice any trading style!




Overview of Features

Human-Readable Builder:
DATFRA-M has an extremly simple to use trading-system builder that does not only create Expert Advisors,
but also simple to understand and follow trading rules. Perfectly suited for manual traders

Paper Trader:
Playback the market data, as fast and as often as you want,
and practice your manual trading (or any newly built trading system) on it! Directly within Metatrader4 and fully flexible.

Trading System Cloud:
DATFRA-M is connected to a cloud where all found trading systems are shared among all users -
be part of it, help building the hugest collection of trading systems on earth!

Simple, simple, simple:
DATFRA-M was designed to work "out of the box". So, installation and usage are made as simple as possible

Free:
Just like DATFRA, this is a part of my private research that I share with the community for free.
However, if you like it, share it! The more people use it, the better it will be for all users, due to the cloud approach!



Why?
I did put in some more effort beyond what I would have developed for my private usage. But I did not do it only because I am such a nice person
I did it because I want to do some serious - market and system spanning - meta research in the forex fields. So, all systems you guys find and upload to the cloud, will be
part of my private research! I know it will take me many, many months to process all the data, but it will be worth it.
So, the further this spreads, the better for me (and you).

PS: As this is a new software, the cloud is still empty! So, its up to you guys to fill it with systems now



A word about the strategies from the builder

DATFRA-M's systems are designed to trade on the opening on a new candle, which means they can be simulated accurately and fast on "open price only" data.
That brings the benefit of beeing able to practice the systems a lot faster (as you only need to make decisions on new bars), and the resulting trading techniques require a
minimum amount of your time when traded live.
For example, if you go for H1 systems, you only need a few minutes each hour for trading DATFRA-M's systems.

Please don't ask for every-tick systems. Be asured that, if a system is designed for it(!), trading on bar-opening brings the same amount of reliability and profit
with a highly reduced time requirement, both in simulating/practicing and live-trading!
However, I will add support for every-tick papertrading soon!

Oh and dont forget, you are the first ones to use this, so please guys, if there are bugs or anything else, take the minute and contact me through PM, skype or email.

Thanks!

Edit: Excuse the pushing of the thread, but its the only way I can get some testers without releasing it publically yet

Updated tool, added a new indicator to the builder

-Darwin

Sorry for the inconvenience, I had to push another update, fixing a critical bug that caused the history not to be recognized!

-Darwin

Sorry brah, I'm subscribed to the thread and appreciate the effort, too busy at work to have a crack at this.

im surprised others are not having a go

giving you a bump though

Hey MCRotter, thanks for the nice words

Well, actually i got a bunch of downloads with the soft launch, so i can not complain, but the feedback is spare.. but that seems to be normal, it was no difference with DATFRA haha

But I guess once I make it really public (with its own thread and some systems posted) more ppl will notice..

-Darwin

Thanks for your great efforts, this thread deserves more attention.
k

Thank you kprsa

When I release DATFRA-M, I also plan to make a thread in the trading-system forum where I will post some systems found by DATFRA-M, guess this should then draw some attention, as I noticed this is what most ppl here are interested in.

-Darwin

Amazing, great work, great concept, wish you success in your project.
I'm on board, currently getting familiarized with the app, its running hard in the background 'doing something' (when does it stop i ask )
will study this more, subscribed.
rgds,

Hey, thanks for the feedback

Do you mean when the builder stops? Never It is a borderless process, you can stop and start it whenever you want.
If you mean something else, it might be a bug? Please elaborate, thank you.

-Darwin

Added a bunch of new systems to the cloud, there are now 26 of them for various markets and timeframes

-Darwin

Hi Darwin

i am encontering this error...

OS WinXP

Thx

Hello Darwin,

also, the "auto-execute" function in the paper-trading section has some issues, once played works, but if put in pause and the re-played it won't work anymore and needs to reboot datfra-m.

Hope it's helpful
thank you
