I am focused on higher TF for now and am just testing the basic features. Here is the core system over four years compounding just using the ATR based SL and TP. There is a window here that would have been difficult to trade (on 3%). Back to testing. EIDT, I don't think the ATR-based TS, BE, and PL are working properly as my test results are nearly identical with and without using those features. {image}
Thank you nonlinear for your testing on the 4hr TF... While you are applying the EA to the 4hr chart, in the EA settings what Signal timeframe have you set? 4 hrs?

This is another concept for another day and I am talking out loud here, but to really scalp with this, it might work well where the SL/TP are based on the spread at entry (e.g., spread is 3, and SL and TP are thus 6 or something like that), the price deviation between the primary pairs, and the hour of day. Would run the expert on a week of live M1 (or preferably smaller) bars on the three pairs, analyze the price deviations, analyze every potential entry at different tight SL/TP levels based on the spread, track the hour of day) and then trade off those results while the expert continues to analyze live ticks to repeat the process. Just a another complicated scalping thought for another day and not meant for Mt4, sigh lol

{quote} I have found the same issue, and running on same broker, make sure that you select ECN=True if your account is ECN. But i do suspect that SL is not working.
Yup I've selected that too. I even played around w some other settings but the SL still doesnt work so I've reverted back to version 4 for the forward testing for now.

Yes, all 4H. Keep in mind that this approach still need some tweaking and will likely be safer and have better results after we set the max and min ATR levels.

I never look for a get-rich formula in forex. Let's get realistic. 20% monthly roi is more than I hope for with any mechanical trading system.
Very well said, 20% to 30% monthly roi is enough... unless your broker is fully STP/ECN. TRUE. Not self proclaimed.

if your broker found that you are very profitable, they will probably hate you ... then be ready to possible freezed of your withdrawal request etc.

You are using a 1 pip stop? Try 10 pips (100).

Thanks for your fantastic work on this ea, Khalil!
I've seen a pretty hefty DD forward testing 1 min/15 min (-$420 with 0.1 lot size, RVI filter on, max open trades = 1).
I'm wondering if we could test a version which requires an even higher TF to be in alignment in order for a signal to be generated,
such as perhaps the 1 hour alignment necessary for the 1 min/15 min?

Whether this is practical to be included or not, don't know. Just a thought.

redfan, you have the expert on the wrong chart. You have to load it on GJ to trade GJ.

Hi James T

Why do you set TP to 5000 and SL to 1000 if you attach the EA to a 1mn chart?
