At the moment imho more promissing looks another my "Simple Renko Strategy" EA. It is RenkoVdub. You may try and compare it with previous one. It needs to have Vdub_Pivot_Channel indicator in your MQL4/Indicators folder. You may also attach it to your charts for visualization.

Which EA version opens trades per the original rules in post 1? I am getting confused by all these indicators. YzT indicator is not in the original rules and is redundant to the built in MA.

That's an interesting EA you made there sevan62. Not bad result when I back tested last 6 months EURUSD.

Dont be too quick with your conclusions. Remember the previous one was not trading for you at first and you've failed to find MN in EA.
First try to check your MT4/chart/EA options/settings.

You may attach it to any chart (offline or regular) with any TF. It will work. You may simply try - it cost nothing.

{quote} 1. EA can trade on any TF chart which is attached to. Not even renko chart but any regular such as M15 or H1 and so on. You may use any offline chart creator EA you like. For examle made by MathTrader7. Personaly i use the following. {file} 2. MN has no effect on EA performance if you do not use another EA or trade manualy on the same account. MN helps EA to determine its own deals and to control only them not touching opened by another EA or opened manualy. About MA mode: EA is based on yzyz indicator which uses two MA. You may choose MA...

Please be aware that test results may not match live trading especially you've tesed EA on Renko bricks. Anyway use only non-gap renko buider for back-testing purposes. This type of EA is opening and closing deals on close bars only that is why back-test results must be more accurate. Also hope this EA may have some advantage on regular TF charts. You may try.

sevan62, applied your RenkoVdub back test to the H4 chart (2015 - present).

Unfortunately, my modeling quality was poor but going back and looking at trades manually on chart, I believe has potential.

*adjusted lot size increased drawdown and profit obviously.

Checked one more time original strategy rules from post#1. Nothing is said about TP. And EA places SL according to above rules
Quoting shreyash
... Stop loss: There are 2 concepts - 1. Last significant hi or low. 2. Hi or low of the last green or red color brick - i.e. for a buy trade we will use the low of the last red brick from where the price turned. for a sell trade we will use the high of the last green brick from where the price turned. ...
EA has no SL as user defined parameter, it calculates SL value and places it automatically. But original exit criteria works every time earlier
Quoting shreyash
... Exit Criteria: 1.When a brick of the opposite color is formed. OR 2. Trail the trade as more number of bricks are formed until your trailing stop loss takes you out!. ...
So SL is never hit.

Great results mate. I dont think mate you have to worry much about modeling quality. Poor modeling quality informs us only about the fact we have less data inside the bars we are testing. For example you are testing on H4 TF and you have now all the data from H1, M30, M15, M5 and M1 inside this H4. It is significant in case EA opens/closes & trail the deal inside this H4. But my EA which you are testing operates for close prices only, so no any deals opened/closed/trailed insed the bar. In this case EA needs ony open&close prices of each bar and nothing more. You may even back-test it using the lowest MT4 tester Model "Open prices only". The result will not differ much but testing time decrease redically. It is much useful if you run optimization with great number of results.

IMHO what you have to care more it is the total number of deals in your back-test. I don't trust in results with lower than 100 deals. It is a high probability that such results will not continue in future. The best way is to have 1000 and more deals in back-test, good is from 500.
