Dave, one more useful bit of info is that I am using the latest cut of Agility Trader which I think is off this thread.
​Modo could you please delete your long set file inputs.

That is the incorrect way to upload a set file. Rename it to .txt and upload it as an attachment. I have mentioned this many times in the thread!

In preparation for next week, if you are interested, could you download the MT4 platform from metaquotes.net and perform the default installation. Some of you may already have an MT4 installation under the same directory. No problem.

  1. Create a new directory under the drive name for example C:\AgilityTraderMT4
  2. Copy the contents of C:\Program Files (x86)\MetaTrader 4\ to C:\AgilityTraderMT4\
  3. Create a shortcut on your desktop to C:\AgilityTraderMT4\Terminal.exe
  4. Run the shortcut
  5. When asked to create a Demo Account, accept the defaults.
  6. Goto Tools, Options, Charts and set Max Bars in Chart to 100,000
  7. Goto Tools, Server and change the account number by 1. This will log you off.
  8. copy AgilityTrader.ex4 into the experts sub folder (navigate from File, Open Data Folder) and the enclosed set file (change to .set) to the Tester folder
  9. right click Expert Advisors and select Refresh
  10. Goto File, Open Data Folder and navigate to the history folder of the Server (now disconnected)
  11. Delete all the EURUSD history
  12. Goto Tools, History Center and select EURUSD 1 min. (may need to double click EURUSD)
  13. Click on Import and select the downloaded EURUSD 1min data.
  14. Open a EURUSD 1 min chart and right click and select Refresh
  15. Drag the script - PeriodConverter onto the chart and change the input 3 to 5 and OK
  16. Repeat for 15, 30, 60, 240, 1440 all on the same 1 min chart
  17. select View, Strategy Tester and Nominate AgilityTrader, EURUSD 60 min, Model is Every Tick, check Use Date and nominate 2016.01.01 to 2016.03.31
  18. ​Load the included set file (the directory will default to Tester where you will have placed the downloaded set file (renamed from .txt)
  19. click on Start
  20. review the results and they should match the following charts.

Hi Dave,
Interesting ... in your post 252 you say "If you have any other strategies that you would like covered, please post details."
You already have mine and now you say "I do not have the time to cater for individual needs"
Which is it?

What do you want me to do?

You pulled out a complicated strategy from another thread and want me to convert it on the spot.

There is no history of you even trying, just throwing it on my lap. a little demanding for voluntary work, don't you think? Please read my lips when I say "At the moment"

Hi Dave

Mate, maybe your confused or a chill pill is in order ...

You asked in your post 252 "If you have any other strategies that you would like covered, please post details."
I responded to YOUR request.

You are the coder, I have no idea whether my PM request is complicated or not. I simply asked a question, never asked for it to be "converted on the spot" and never asked for "voluntary work" ... so for all to see who read this thread the PM is shown below:

Hi Ben
I also had a different outcome ... which I have posted here.
One thing I did notice Dave has in his Tester settings graphic a spread of 20 - you appear to have Normal (which I had originally) - don't know whether that makes any difference.

Hi Dave, I have uploaded EA settings would appreciate your comments and any suggestions. Quick rundown

RSI 5 Levels 90 80 10
Time frame 1 hour
Currencies 28

Sell below 90 and 80 would like the EA to create two trades or one trade if it only reaches level 80
Buy above 10

The idea is to open trades at the high of 90 and 80 and open trade at the low of 10 .This gives me three trading strategies on the one EA.

Do the settings allow this to happen ?

Regards Robin Terry

Both ​Buy and Sell entries Condition2 are not set to active.

​Only 1 trade per chart can be active. Would need 2 different charts.

Will look into this Ben.

Would appreciate some feedback from anybody who can open a demo account and get 3 months of 1 min data without mismatched chart errors on backtest using every tick method. Cannot find a broker with reliable data for backtest. The problem is that in order to use my supplied Dukascopy data, you will have to open the demo account you first established to get 5 digit processing (otherwise restricted to .1 increments of lot size) , then go offline by changing the account number, then delete history data, then import, then create other timeframes with period converter so that we all have matching data with 2 decimal point lot size.

Whilst it is easy to open MT4 without any login, the program restricts lot size to 1 decimal point.

Would appreciate any feedback in this regard.

Thanks Dave,

Yes I had four conditions configured. I toggled condition 2 to OFF. So Condition 1, 3 and 4 are still set to ON. Can you confirm if the program should iterate past a NO condition or should the YES conditions all be set sequentially.

Anyway, I'll re-jig the settings and see how I go.

BTW - did purchase the companion program and it is well worth the small investment.

Cheers,

Mark

​Yes . It should ignore condition 2.

Can you try a backtest and see if there is a problem.

EDIT: Have just reviewed the program code and whilst condition 2 is overlooked, there is a problem interpreting non continuous conditions. Can you try setting conditions 3 and 4 into boxes 2 and 3.
