Hi Dave

Thought this may be of interest or would you see it as a duplication?

Today I'm discussing using a Custom Indicator to define a Candlestick Pattern which we will call RailwayLines and will open trades on that pattern.

In the enclosed diagram the pattern we are looking for is explained. I would urge you to optimize the CalcBars value and Multiple to discover what works best for you.

All the inputs which I have optimised are ticked already in the enclosed set file.

The 2 relevant line in the calculation are below -

if (Close[1] - Close[2] > MathAbs(Close[CalcBars + 1] - Close[1]) / CalcBars * Multiple && Close[3] - Close[2] > MathAbs(Close[CalcBars + 1] - Close[1]) / CalcBars * Multiple) OutputValue[Counter] = 1;
if (Close[2] - Close[1] > MathAbs(Close[CalcBars + 1] - Close[1]) / CalcBars * Multiple && Close[2] - Close[3] > MathAbs(Close[CalcBars + 1] - Close[1]) / CalcBars * Multiple) OutputValue[Counter] = 2;


What this is saying in the first line is -

If the difference between the close 2 bars ago and 1 bar ago is greater than the average of the the number of calc bars * multiple
and the difference between the close 3 bars ago and 3 bars ago is also greater than the average of the the last number of calc bars * multiple
Open a Buy Trade

and the reverse for the second line
Open a Sell trade

MathAbs means take the positive numerical value even if the value is negative.

Indicator and set file (as .txt rename to .set) enclosed

A screenshot of a coming dashboard and I am just starting. Look forward to dashboards with auto trading with very easy user selectable inputs. By the way these dashboards will be completely independant of MT4. Click on any chart to display a full chart.

Hi Dave,

Regarding post#462.

First thanks for continued generosity in sharing the tools and info.

I’m just trying to confirm if my data is out because I get a different result to that in #462. Can you confirm your sample result is on EURUSD, 1 Hour timeframe for period 01/01/2016 to current date e.g. April 20 something?

Loading the provided SET file I get the following…. which is not as inspiring as your result!

FYI - I’m still catching up but intend to test drive the new dashboard and provide feedback.

Cheers Mark

As you did not include the coding for your indicator, it is difficult to answer your question as you have values of -1 in your criteria.

However when I ran the set file on backtest, it opened both long and short positions. If you upload the mq4 file I will be able to help further.

​My apologies ! I included the wrong set file!

The correct set file is enclosed. The test was from Jan - Mar

Hi Dave,

Thanks for that. I was still unable to get the same result using the new set file (first lot of screenshots)

However, I did alter the settings by 1. Removing the SL to break even 2. Update SL every 1 PIP (rather than every 5). Attached SET.

With these settings I achieved a good result, see second lot of screen shots.

So Ill just put the variance down to the fact that our data sets are different.

The positive take away from all of that is both ways returned positive results!

Hi Dave

I am trying to setup Agility with NLD on a particular pair GBPJPY and use another Dashboard for Management.
The Magic Number for GBPJPY is 19 in the Casino dashboard see attached.
I have changed the Magic Number in Agility, see attached .txt to 19 and it reads all other changes in the set file except the changed Magic Number ... see attached.
Your assistance appreciated.

I will investigate but at this stage I think​ is is just a display issue with the panel.

MagicMA is converted to MagicNum within the program and I believe at Init when the panel is displayed, the conversion has not been made.

Hi Dave,

First thank you for your great work. It's absolutely awesome for testing stratégies.

​I wanted to test the EURUSD_Straddle_60_Jan_Mar_2016.set. I noticed in MT4 that the sell condition ist set on "Sell at Market". Could you please check?
