Quoting Dave_C
Guys and Gals I don't want to sound too precious but there are about 35,000 plus lines of code and a single "." being accidentally written as a "," can cause major implications so please have some compassion before you choose to discredit me! Nevertheless I welcome constructive criticism.
Of course we appreciate your work. To be honest, I hated my college classes when I was learning C#, and I have tons of respect for anyone who can type something on a computer (gibberish to me), and make it into an application.

Now on the new update - Thanks for making a change, just downloaded the updated version. Ran the tool, first I had to "unblock" all files. I did not need to do that before, but thats no issue. Second, looks like application is trying to look into a folder "StrategyOptimizer_1_0_0_16", but the folder is named "..._0_17". So it couldn't find the file. I changed folder name to 16 to see if it can find it, but I think application or maybe somewhere it is still looking for 16. So, I can't use it and I get the error below.


Could not find a part of the path
'C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\TradersGift Strategy Optimizer\Application Files\StrategyOptimizer_1_0_0_16\StrategyOptimizer.exe.manifest'

Other users, if you're having same problem, please post. If not, It maybe just me doing something wrong..

No! The only tick is RSI enable.

Sorry. I don't know what happened there. Try this link. Update to address start and end date problems.

This download should resolve your problems. I hadn't encountered the error because I had been testing using Auto money management.

Hi Dave, going to start using your EA this week. I was just wondering what the volume filter is used for. I don't see any parameters just yes or no. I was thinking about using it with your MACD cross strategy. You think that would be a good idea or not?

Thanks,
Robert

The most recent download is always the latest version as I have stated before.

Regarding the Time and Day filter, it was always working if you looked at your trades, it's just that the graphs were incorrect. I have resolved this in the latest build. Download here.

I have enclosed the correct settings to trade only on Wednesdays as an example.

When you nominate a LotSize, it remains fixed. If you wish to use variations, you will have to use percentage of equity. In your enclosed screenshot you have not nominated any strategies and that is why your graphs are not displaying data.

Regarding date range and time frame, I can't see any problems as detailed in the enclosed screenshot. I suspect you are not using the 1 minute data from Post #1.

The volume filter is very simple. If the volume increases, it gives a signal in the current direction. If the volume decreases no signal is given.

For example, if you had the RSI Strategy and the volume filter enabled, and an RSI sell signal was given but the volume decreased on that bar from the previous bar, no sell trade would take place.

It's important to remember that the volume is not representing the $ volume, rather the number of traders. In the above scenario, the number of trades decreased when the RSI sell signal was given.

Dave,

Thanks, all working now. So, playing around with the tool, I noticed this. When and if the balance goes to 0, the optimization doesn't stop. It continues with 0 balance, and adds pip values to new balance, then continues from the starting balance (if that makes sense).

Image below - first trade took balance of 2k to 0. Second Third trade brought balance back from 2k+ the profit.

Once again, thanks for all the work you're putting into this!

I think the problem may be that you are not re-reading the data source if you change the timeframe or date range. I will change that code to force the re-read in my next version but in the meantime, please reselect your data source if you make changes to either parameter.

Ok I see your point. I'll have a look at it now combined with the consideration above.

Edit: New download here with both points (from Posts #994 and #996) addressed.

Next task add the rest of the strategies and filters.

well... i tried different types of Strategy all these 3-4days & thanks to super speed optimizer... in the END i realized that the NO Strategy gonna win in the long run!!

Lets say.... I optimized a strategy for EUR/USD for Jan 2015 with (M5 time frame) & Its Net return total 70%... thats awesome but when i try this same awesome strategy with next month chart... well net return this time is -13% & if i try to optimize again for this month then... different strategy will show up!!!

So? in the END... Every trade is different from each other NO MATTER what you do... you will loss in the log run......

Sorry guys... may be i am too much frustrated
