I have a technical question if you don't mind. Is there a way to flip between Input Variable Name and Description in EA Settings Window ? Thanks in advance,
Could you please show me what you mean.

Hey guys, nice work you have done there.
I would like to forward test this EA but I encountered a problem so I hope someone could help me.

First what I wanted to do:
The 15 pairs at H1
The 15 pairs at H4
The 15 pairs at D1

But he only opened 3 pairs in the H1 setting and none in the other ones, but that he opened none in the H4 and D1 settings should have been okay I believe. The pairs he opened were EUR/USD, AUD/USD and GBP/AUD. I noticed that I forgot to use the template so I deleted everything and started fresh today.

Today:
7 pairs at H1:
AUD/CAD
AUD/JPY
AUD/USD
CAD/JPY
EUR/USD
EUR/JPY

And he opened at first only 3 orders yet again. EUR/USD, AUD/USD and AUD/JPY.
After an hour he opened 2 more. EUR/JPY and EUR/USD.

Here are my configuration for the H1 EA and what I currently have open:

Like you can see I modified the EA for the H1 setting with no stop loss etc.
I use a FxPro demo account (5 digit) btw.

ha_rider_06 new version updates : Fixing of trailing stop error tracking, raised by b-naire2b in "robots lab" here addition of 2 new inputs for lot size controls lot_size_percentage_of = "b";//1st order lot size as prcentage of "e"quity, "b" balance lot_size_percentage=2;//lot size percentage 2=2%, the robot will calculate the lot size based on the above parameters taking into consideration the required margin and min and max lots allowed by the broker. Of course to activate...
dear ab... Nice work, your dedication is awsome.

Dude if you note that the most of the losing trades were long eurusd and shorts were highly profitable. Since it was a downtrend whole year not more could have been expected from longs. Just a suggestion; if you put 200ema above which only buy and below which only sell how could this had been? A food for thought.

For a 50k account if I put Lot Size 2 Percentage it will open mini lot of 0.01? I intend to open 0.10 lot what percentage should I put? Thank U
Variable Lot size for the 1st order in the Chain for each pair is calculated as follows:

  1. Suppose your balance is 50K
  2. and your settings were:

    1. Lot_Size_Percentage_Of = "B"
    2. Lot_Size_Percentage = 2
    3. Next_Lot_Factor = 0.8

  3. And your account Leverage is 1:200

First Order Lot Size = (Balance/Required_Margin)*(Lot_Size_Percentage/100) = (50,000/564)*(2/100)] = 1.77
Lot size for the second order in the chain = 1.77 x 0.8 = 1.41
Lot size for the thirsd order in the chain = 1.41 x 0.8 = 1.13
and so on ...

  1. Margin required is provided by MT4 based on the leverage used and current pair rate.
  2. Margin required for EUR/USD 1 Lot is currently $564.
  3. I can describe how it is calculated but I don't think its necessary. OK I will explain it:

    1. Margin required for pairs starting with USD (i.e. USD/CAD) = 1000 divided leverage = $100000/200 = $500.
    2. Margin required for pairs ending with USD (i.e. EUR/USD) = current pair price * 1000 / leverage = $1.1284*100000/200 = 1128/200=$564

Hi guys

I think there is a problem here
why don't you guys back test the idea?
i mean the system basically has 2 rules in regard of trades and 2 about money management right?

trading rules:
1.if HA closes in green (bull) open long and close all shorts
2. if HA closes in red (bear) open short and close all longs

money management rule:

1. for every 1000$ you open 0.1 lot position and so on....
2. EA closes all positions when there is a X% change in equity

if that's the case i can easily program the system and make it back testable
this way you can find the best parameters for HA candles and after that i can even make a portfolio of the best pairs for the strategy (Using EA Analyzer which is actually a free product)

i don't understand why do you guys want to forward test the system when it's clearly back testable !!?

In general you are right. As this is a Trend Following System.

Coming to details, although "it was a downtrend whole year", looking at the back test results posted earlier:
The robot made a total of 83 trades, out of which 62 were Short, and 21 were Long representing a 25% of to
Winning percentage of short trades were high 87%, while winning percentage for longs were 47% which is not so bad in a down trend.

Not trying to prove anything, and it is certainly not the Holy Grail.

Thanks for sharing, Ideas to improve are welcome as always.

In the EA settings Window some times it shows variable names instead of description (comment)

for example here it shows variable names :
iinput string note1= "*** Ladder System by Khalil Abokwaik ***";
input int Magic_Number = 40001; // magic number
input int Ladder_Step_Pips = 100; // Ladder Step Size.
input int Unified_Stop_Pips = 100; // Ladder_Step_Pips Multiplier for Stop Loss
input double Fixed_Lot_Size = 0.1; // Starting Lot Size
input int Max_Open_Orders = 5; // Maximum Orders (Ladder Steps)

input double Fixed_Lot_Size = 0.1;// Lot Size for 1st order in the chain, to Disable set to 0

abokwaik could you please take a look at my problem, which I posted above?
Im guessing that the entry filter is the one to interfere with the opening of the orders or are the Max_Allowed_Slippage and Min_Pips_Between_Orders too low for a 5 digit broker?

From my understanding every single pair should have been opened by the EA almost at the same time if the filter does not interfere.

If we use the set file from post #56, there is nothing specific for EURUSD, because no SL/TS is used.

Hence the setfile can be used for other pairs too, Correct ?

Many thanks for this thread and sharing this great EA.

Yes. And you can also change the settings of each EA instance to be pair specific.

uuummmm.....
so you are saying that the only problem is that you can't test the portfolio as whole?
why don't you download EA Analyzer from Strategy Quant ?
it's free and you can just combine your back test results from each pair to achieve the results of portfolio back test (with equity curve / Sharpe ration / draw down / R:R and every thing else)
you can even make arrangement in what if section and apply your MM rules to the whole portfolio equity curve

i think trying it is better than forward testing
