{quote} 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
I have EA Analyzer of Strategy Quant and used it for some EAs evaluation, but
didn't know that you can simulate a portfolio by combining multiple individual test results !

I was planning to produce an MT5 version for portfolio testing.
I will give it a try tomorrow. I hope it works as you described.

Thanks for the information.

Assuming that you have activated Allow Live Trading, I can spot at least 2 errors in your settings, both were answered on previous posts:
1- Higher time frame should be a valid time frame code (M5, H1, H4 ... etc). if you want to disable it set it same as Time Frame used, in your case M5.

2- Maximum second s to activate ... should be greater than 0, say 30 or 60 or 300 depending on time frame used. For M5 time frame 60 is OK.

I tried the EA - just for fun - with 1M charts, there were many trades. Check all your MT4 settings.

I have everything prepared for the tests in daily charts with 16 pairs, but an EA doubt will open position as color candle today is red and fresh is red, open a short, or will wait to change from red to green to open position?

If today's HA/HAS candle closed as Red it will go short tomorrow.

Hi Rooi

Can we have .set files of different settings (as someone proposed so that there is no mistake in settings)? It would be easy to backtest with .set files.

Thank you for your help she has been precious.
This happened to me also sell with blue candle, I was not aware but does it opened red and started to blue? It could have happened, otherwise all ok.
Is in HA_Rider_05 graphic but the terminal is HA_Rider_04? But it should be okay.

It seems like I cant get this EA to work correctly. How does everyone set the EA up? I hope someone can help me.

I do it this way:
1. I modify the HA_Rider_05.mq4 data with the windows text editor and save the changes.
2. Copy HA_Rider_05.mq4 into experts, Heiken_Ashi_Smoothed_TF.mq4 into indicators and the Hi_Rider.tpl into the templates folder.
3. Open all 15 charts and set the right time frame
4. Load the template
5. Load the EA with allowed DLL import and "Allow live trading" and activate them all

I set the 15 pairs H1, 15 pairs H4 and 15 pairs D1 fresh up again at ~22:30:00 but again without luck with the order placements.
I even got 3 separate alerts windows where it was stated "invalid price" and "market closed". The "invalid price" alerts were for the H1 and H4 setup while "market closed" for the D1 setup.

The H1 setup opened GBP/USD at 23:00:00 and closed it again at 00:00:13. At the same time it opened a order with EUR/CAD and USD/CAD.
Just now he closed both of them but did not open the orders in the opposite direction. Instead he gave me another alert with invalid price (Did not take a pic) which closed on its own and opened two different pairs EUR/USD and AUD/CAD.

My settings:

Most probably your EA HA/HAS Settings are different from the Heiken_Ashi_Smoothed_TF indicator setting shown on the chart.

Please note that the robot uses the settings of the EA not the Indicator. In fact you don't have to attache the indicator to the chart, unless you prefer it for visual convenience, but make sure that the indicator settings are same as those you used in the EA.

Here is a copy of some posts related to HA_Rider taken from the Robots Lab Project

HA_Rider_05 :

Few words on inputs:

Lot Sizes:

 

  1. Fixed_Lot_Size = 0.1 : This number represents the Lot Size for the 1st order in the chain per pair
  2. Next_Lot_Factor = 0.8 : This factor is used to compute lot size following orders in the chain.

    1. To use orders of same size you can set it to 1.
    2. To have reducing lot sizes for following orders in the chain, you can set to less than 1 (i.e. 0.8, 0.5 ... etc).
    3. To have increasing lot sizes for following orders in the chain (Not Recommended) , you can set to more than 1 (i.e. 1.2, 1.5, 2.0 ... etc).
    4. Example : Fixed_Lot_Size = 0.1, Next_Lot_Factor = 0.8

      1. 1st order lot size = 0.1
      2. 2nd order lot size = 0.08
      3. 3rd order lot size = 0.06 (round of 0.064 = 0.08 x 0.8)
      4. 4th order lot size = 0.05 (round of 0.048 = 0.06 x 0.8)
      5. ... and so on

Order Controls:

 

  1. Min_Pips_Between_Orders = 20;// Min. Distance in Pips or Points between orders // Pips(for 4-digit broker) or Points(for 5-digit broker)
  2. Max_Open_Orders = 10;// Max. Open Orders per pair


The Robot will open a new order on each new (Time_Frame) candle, unless the Min_Pips_Between_Orders is not met, or Max_Open_Orders is reached. This applies to each pair used.

I set the 15 pairs H1, 15 pairs H4 and 15 pairs D1 fresh up again at ~22:30:00 but again without luck with the order placements.

  1. You can not use multiple instances on the same pair even with different time frames UNLESS you changed the Magic Number for each instance. Remember though that closing at Equity Gain/Loss is at Account Level and uses the magic number so it will be a mess. My recommendation is to used ONLY ONE INSTANCE per each PAIR

Quoting SignMeUP
The H1 setup opened GBP/USD at 23:00:00 and closed it again at 00:00:13. At the same time it opened a order with EUR/CAD and USD/CAD. Just now he closed both of them but did not open the orders in the opposite direction.

  1. Your H1 settings seems to be fine. However H1 and H4 and D1 settings are using the same Magic number. So while the H1 opens a trade because conditions were OK at H1 EA instances, H4 or D1 EA instance closed it because conditions were not OK on H4 or D1 time frames. This is the mess I mentioned in point 2 above.

Hello dansmol, quick question:

Did you setup the EA and charts BEFORE your broker's Daily Candle Open (before today's Open candle)?

Cases of when the EA will not open a trade although HA/HAS on the selected time frame are confirming the trade :

The EA will open a new trade on EACH HA/HAS candle UNLESS:

  1. Higher Time Frame filter used, and HA/HAS on the Higher time frame has an opposite signal
  2. Max Seconds to activate has passed already. (i.e. You are attaching the EA on the H1 time frame at 10:15 and you set Max Seconds to 60=1 minute. So the maximum time to open the trade on this hour was 10.01 which is already passed. If the EA stays active it will open a trade on 11.01 if other conditions apply). This feature was request by TyLamai, so that the EA does not start to open trades once you attached on the chart, it has to wait for the current candle to close. In order to disable this feature(limitation) you can set it to a high number (i.e. 1000).
  3. If you set the MA Period > 0 under Filters, and MA filter is giving an opposite signal
  4. Min. Distance between orders is not satisfied.
  5. Max Slippage allowed is not satisfied
  6. Max. Open Orders per pair is Reached

Aside from my eralier reply to you SignMeUP,

Looking at the last image you attached , I am confused ,
Some pairs have 5 digits (i.e. AUDUSD) and some pairs have 4 digits (AUDCAD) ??? is that normal?.
Which broker are you using ?
