{quote} Is your converter helps?
Hi Ben

This is what I did, followed Dave's instructions - used P4L instead of MT4 PeriodConverter- saved as a Profile.
Ran Agility - results below ...
Logged off and shutdown MT4
Restarted MT4 and changed account by 1 as per Dave - bottom right showed "Invalid Account"
Loaded Profile
Ran Agility - results below ...
P4L appears to work ...

​No problem with the post. Just re-iterating that I have found a solution that means that you do not have to go off line anymore and rebuild the other timeframes. You could still use the other period converter but it will only have to be run once.

Hi Dave,

As suggested I set conditions 3 and 4 into boxes 2 and 3 and then compared both files in the strategy tester.
Both seem to have executed correctly and the outcome was the same. NOTE: I’m using the MetaQuotes platform and EURUSD data from an earlier post. Screenshot of Backtest using 30min data.

I’m in a curious situation because I had the original SET file loaded against 4 currencies. In Friday’s trading session the conditions were met and and I believe I should have got buy trades triggered across three pairs. Example AUDUSD attached.

I’d say it’s a problem at my end so I’ll keep troubleshooting and maybe the session you are running will shed some light.

BTW - I have back tested the RSI SET file against the MetaQuotes data and I get similar results to everyone else.

Cheers,

Mark

​I can see from your charts that a Buy order should have been triggered and I will investigate.

Can you look at your tester Journal and tell me whether there was any active trade at the point in question because if there was, that signal would have been overlooked. I can't access my tester at the moment because it is the middle of a backtest.

I've now been able to have a look and it appears that there is a trade already opened. I note you have a high TP.

I had a quick question.

If I want to say open a trade when the price is at a ma value meaning it touches the ma how would I put that? Since I am now using when it's greater than. Is there a price is = ema then enter?

Hi moneydeep,

maybe try 'equal to'.

{quote}​Ronald is quite correct however your argument is flawed or the way you explain it is flawed. The question of touching in a real sense could mean just going above for a moment or just going below for a moment. That is not a good way of making trading decisions!
Hi Dave,

I'm by far not a coder, but this was a rather easy call . I could use some help myself if you don't mind: the system I'm using utilizes a simple custom indicator that has only two user parameters and a few buffers ('SetIndexBuffer'). I know I'm supposed to save the position/values for these parameters/buffers in a set file for the Agility Trader, but I'm having trouble figuring out where to put them in... Attached is the indicator; hope you'd be so kind to help me out with this.

​This indicator has 2 inputs and 2 Index Buffers in use. The 2 inputs are both relevant so their positons go in Param1 and Param2 of each User Indicator. The Rising Buffer is Buffer 0 and the falling Buffer is Buffer 1 so their numbers are nominated in User Indicator 1 and User Indicator 2. The Buy Entry Condition 1 is Close crosses above User Indicator 1 with parameters for User Indicator 1 being 20 and 5 and the reverse for Sell Entry Condition 1 with Close crosses below User Indicator 2 and same parameters.

Thanks for your time and effort, but this doesn't seem to work:

Actually, I'm using this indicator to confirm already generated buy and sell signals: buy signal only valid if the trend line already turned yellow, sell signal only valid if the trend line already turned red in which case buffer 0 and 1 are needed to discern if the trend line has turned yellow/red, right? I also noticed that the info panel mentions 'custom 1', but not 'custom 2' (instead of 'custom 2' it shows '34').

Another thing: what if one wants to use custom indicators which have like 4-5 parameters and buffers?

Sorry if I'm complicating matters; maybe I should stick to manual trading...

Hi Dave, this is just a question in general, " would it be a better to trade the Agility EA using the MT5 platform and would this also give us traders a better result as a consequence. Replies from other traders regarding this query would be appreciated. I am in the process of trying to connect the EA to an MT5 through my account on FXPro will release my trading experience in a week or two.
Cheers !!!
